TASVideos

I found 1 frame improvement in name entry screen. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/715066022/Julius_name_entry.vbm Anyway, this is a great run. Of course, I vote yes! By the way, I want you to submit your other Castlevania TASes. Especially, Portrait Of Ruin all Bosses and Richter mode!

end

while true do
	itemPrediction(0, 0xBC, 0xA0)
	snes9x.frameadvance()
end

Press numpad 1~5 changes drop pattern. When you press zero, script disappears. Green: Life energy, Blue: Weapon energy, Red: Bolt, Yellow: 1up, Gray: nothing A bar which overflows under the frame means a big one.

Nice discovery. But unfortunately, it is not fast. Because T.Blade dash is faster about 4 frames than sliding. This uses T.Blade three times.

Change of graphic glitch: Astro - Not bad. Dynamo - Background is too blink for me. Grand - Not change much. Magic - Background vanishes, it becomes plain color. Crystal - Not change. King - Same as Magic. I didn't like these changes, especially Dynamo, Magic and King. So I canceled. W.Burner remote attack glitch is not usable there, when Rockman has already had M.Card.

Nice improvement, especially King1 and after Magic re-fight! I finished redoing at last... http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1447013992/R%26F%20100CD%20re-Astro%20v2.smv I saved 340 frames from my previous version.

I found 47f improvement in Intro level. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1998927851/R%26F%20inrto%20-47f.smv This may be a fatal problem because RNG changes widely...

Magic test: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1871061145/Magic%20test.smv At first, I was not going to use Energy saver in actual run. So I save T.Blade energy in this run. But perhaps, it may be quicker to use Energy saver.

It has been a long time, parrot14green :) Thank you for many improvements! But, it may take time to remake due to change of RNG. Furthermore, I found a improvement in Cold revisit. (First and second screens)

I.Wall trick is usable under a low ceiling. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/945643081/I.Wall%20zipping%20with%20low%20ceiling.smv But, it is impossible to use ceiling zipping from here.

This is my misconception :(

It uses pause menu many times. So normal route is faster. (the route used in previous 100CDs)

Next screen Can not use the ice wall? I changed the coordinates （′‧ω‧`） I can't use the ice wall into the wall I utilize the analysis Selection Glitch

This trick requires tiny adjustment of x-position. When Rockman is inside wall, he can't move small distance. So, I have to stop L.Bolt zipping once.

First zip (Tengu) is good. Probably it's usable. I've already found second zip (Dynamo). But perhaps, it's not usable. Anyway, thank you woabclf! Recently, I've researched about other game. So my work didn't progress.

Sonikkustar wrote:

Woah, Nice WIP sparky! But why do you revisit Cold Man before Tengu Man?

Previous version's route is Burner -> Cold revisit -> Pirate -> Tengu My route is Burner -> Pirate -> Cold revisit -> Tengu There are two advantages in this route. First, cursor movement in stage select screen is faster. Second, I can regain weapon energies in first screen of Tengu level. After Tengu, I'll go second shopping. So I have to revisit Cold before Tengu to use Shock Guard.

(four bats)
