This is a really cool game, why is there no interest? ;/ I had made an encode of my old stage 3 TAS but never posted it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqqiYizrCpA I also do RTA high score runs, here’s my WR done without the farming of infinite points: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=peerkbWQAvg I still think banning the infinite farming could make for an interesting high score TAS. For an any% TAS we’re gonna have to figure out how damage boosting works.

I just got the RTA WR for this game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvvEfFNbp-A Things of note: 1. Damage boosting. I don’t know how it works, it feels random when I get it RTA, but it may be faster than normal running speed (which I remember from TASing it is 1.5 pixel/frame, with which I mean it alternates between 1 pixel and 2 pixels each frame). 2. Some guy claims he found a glitch where pausing before double jumping gives extra height, allowing for skips and the like. He seems to get it easily, but neither me nor another runner have been able to replicate it. His video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYfl8QvXsRA 3. Magic pixel. Even when enemies are on the edge of platforms, you can still land 1 pixel next to them without being hit or falling off. I’m not sure if this would ever be useful for a TAS, I use it in the RTA in one stage. I feel like I had something else to say but forgot.

I made a highlight of a damage boost. http://www.twitch.tv/alaktorn91/c/5977700 If I get it again I’ll try to highlight it again. Still don’t understand how it works, I don’t do anything special. Just hold right and either press or not the jump and attack button, depending on the situation.

Seems like I forgot to post it. Glitched pause-jumping only works with a controller. You can do skips similar to Mega Man ones, bypassing screens entirely. Still refer to the video I previously posted, just know it requires gamepad input to execute. Edit: ah, and by that I mean you need to use the gamepad jump button. Pausing doesn’t matter.

Another damage boost vid: http://www.twitch.tv/alaktorn91/c/6151039 New glitch I’ve come across: Sometimes when I go from pressing Right to neutral, I end up facing left. I thought it was just my fingers twitching and pressing left, but it actually happened without me having the finger on the left key this time. So it feels more like a glitch. My new glitchless WR 22′32″32: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CTcSk_nayA It also has a damage boost in Stage 2 on the 2nd yellow ninja in the yellow ninjas room (while going to the left).
