Comments

This is an update to my previous movie that improves it by 680 frames. The improvement comes from a little timesaver [dead link removed] in the candle room and a better boss fight. Thanks to Kyman for the idea.
Everything else is a copy of the previous movie.

Known improvements

See this post by Kyman for details.

Nice improvement, Nahoc. The candle room timesaver is cool. Yes vote.

Nobody has claimed it yet. One of the judges will probably claim it soon enough.
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

Having an encode makes it more likely that the entry will be judged.

EDIT: turska sweared Nahoc was already encoding it.
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

Not going to lie but I almost thought it desynced at the cake boss. Still a yes vote though as it did beat the game. Just confusing why someone would run into the boss numerous times and damage themselves. Never seen that before in any TAS.

It's actually quite common in TASes of certain games (it's frequently done in Sonic games, for instance). The usual reason is to get inside the boss's hitbox so that you can damage it more quickly; I'm not sure whether or not that's the case here.

That makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the explanation of it.

[22:41] <TASVideoAgent> New reply by Marx (WorkB: #3643: Nahoc's N64 Chameleon Twist in 11:04.37): http://tasvideos.org/forum/p/320634#320634 [a:1] [22:42] <Guga_> WTF is Marx saying! [22:42] <turska> Guga_: he's saying that the submission was judged without being claimed prior to it

this game has a new skip in first stage, if someone could hex edit it , it would be a new record https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1508659757
I want all good TAS inside TASvideos, it's my motto. TAS i'm interested: Megaman series, specially the RPGs! Where is the mmbn1 all chips TAS we deserve? Where is the Command Mission TAS? i'm slowly moving away from TASing fighting games for speed, maybe it's time to start finding some entertainment value in TASing.
