Is the fact that the input itself contains RTA input in it.

And this is the part where I call it out. Now excuse the numbers for not being accurate cause this is snes9x vs BizHawk. The very first input after regaining control after the ship up and Poseidon's itself is 2/3 frames slower than it should be. Using the classic TAS Movie Editor at 6109 onwards for that little segment of mashing B and removing 2 frames I was able to get in the door obviously 2 frames earlier with your input. This leads to everything can be adjusted in TAS Movie Editor. But here's the thing, time is valuable so we're just going to compare to the BizHawk movie I provided even though there isn't any major differences that'll be in play besides probably a frame that separates the two. The next sequence after getting out of that room is another 2 jumps, your timing of the jumps leaves you about 15 frames behind that userfile, is this because of your mashing you left behind again? I don't have any comments on the death abuse, cause I did it slower so eh on that one. (take notes whoever is actually using my file to fix that) You can skip the "Lose 5 Minutes" screen. You fail to do this. You have me beat on the respawn and climb there (again notes), however you lose to my input in the second half of that climb. That's where my input ends, so after that it's up in the air. However, for a relatively short movie this does leave behind quite a few mistakes especially against my now joke of a userfile after comparing to your input. The biggest stand out is you not skipping the "Lose 5 Minutes" screen and instead letting it go through.
