Did you do this in the current run already, or is this a possible improvement for a future run? It looks like Ness is doing all of the attacking already, but at 385 HP of damage per turn.
No worries. I'm happy to help people in situations like yours.
sharpRui36, would you like the encode to be inside the submission text? I think that will make people more likely to watch the run and give feedback.
Why do you lose a bunch of time to Chatterbox walking back to the hotel in Threed? Also would it be possible to manipulate the ghost/zombie spawns after the game over to occur any closer to the ladder? Would that potentially save time?

Here's a straight encode of the new improvement. Link to video
What exactly was the improvement over the originally submitted file?
I improved my movie, and saved 591 frames. The new movie: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/62920351157890048
illayaya and pirohiko grab a burger from the present after onett skip, is it possible to grab that, sell it at the market, and be able to buy another skip sandwich for Giygas?
Alright, now that we know it's faster than Chatterbox's run, we have to now compare with illayaya's and pirohiko's wip. since both runs use USA and all characters are named A, I dont have to change much. Link to video The biggest difference is in illayaya and piro's wip, they get a cookie from the sister, and they dont get the cheeseburger until after the onett skip. when they enter the ghost town, sharpRui36 gets to the first zombies faster than illayaya & pirohiko. I am unsure if the route is the same after the point where the WIP ends, I dont know if money has to be withdrawn from the bank like it was in this submission. it seems like you can get the needed items from selling both the burger and the cookie. I do fear that this isnt going to be an easy fix. Just from making both comparisons, I can tell that RNG is a major factor in this game. There's actually alot that is going on in this run than what people might think.
Out of curiosity, where was the skip sandwich you weren't able to get?
I have made a SUPERCUT encode comparison between this run and the old Chatterbox Japanese run. Link to video A few things I should mention, I cut out alot of the longer cutscenes and didn’t include the ending after the credits, since the whole point is to see if this is faster in main gameplay. Which it appears so, once you remove any reagional differences. However I also removed every battle, including the Gigias battle, because realistically factoring out every battle for language differences is next to impossible to do. Now while it is faster. I would like to point out nearly 275 frames were lost during the walk to Gigias, as the sandwich wasn’t consumed to get there faster. I don’t know why this happened but would like an explanation from the author. Either way, this confirms that the run is faster in gameplay.
A 58 minute submission vs a 54 minute submission that was referenced in the author's text. Did you submit this on accident or is there another reason you're using the US version cause that's big difference and I'm confused.
