This topic is for the purpose of discussing #6639: DarkToonLink's Genesis Crusader of Centy in 32:40.31

I asked in the previous submission but got no answer. so im going to ask again. you said there is a way to go faster if you had the ability to reset the game, but why would you use gens then? Bizhawk allows resets, you could save more time if you used bizhawk.

Input contains a lot of RTA mashing and blank ending input and some random extra input where it should have ended earlier. Light Spike to remove the blank input only (828 frames). I am not adjusting for the extended input that's present. DarkToonLink is an RTA runner of the game as a note. A suggestion is to update that ending input to not contain any of the extra input after final input this worsens your TAS time for an unnecessary reason. Also please use the English Title of the game.

om, nom, nom... blech!

ok lemme answer fast I solved the problem about the reset manipulation with ingame manipulation so i didn't need the emulator change but thx. downloaded it anyway for later myb --- english game title? I chose the english title with that submission or do you want me use the english game title on rom or playing on english one? bcs the JPN Text saves some seconds because its shorter

is the in game manipulation faster than reset manipulation?

@EZGames69 the reset is slower because it costs time to get back to the game. So i improved that with full ingame manipulation

You had the movie submitted as Shin Souseiki Ragnacenty instead of Crusader of Centy on the Game version and name field. --- Now, the elephant in the room that is that the game takes ~26 seconds of the game actually loading up in Hawk... no I didn't exaggerate those numbers. So I understand why you used Gens. However what I wrote at the start about mashed input holds true. If you focus strictly on the first bit of gameplay of dialogue and walking around that house. I'm out of that house, first visible frame of next area at 2136 frames. This is compared to your 2269. This is caused by the mashing. (Again this is strictly looking from the first frame of that house fading in and counting from there) What I learnt quickly about the game is the dialogue is lag frames when text is coming. And that you can use A, B and C to continue the dialogue along when you used one of the three in a previous dialogue box. You've mashed just a single button instead. I'm going to suggest to try again and use the tools. I'm going to spitball that a sub 30 is possible in TAStiming if dialogue and movement is hit correctly. I recommend for you to use that save and load states, to use the lag counter you have and to take your time and most importantly frame advance. Alternatively you can take the 26 second hit in BizHawk and use TAStudio where all this would be highlighted and you can route out cleaner and skip dialogue boxes with a bit more ease compared to Gens. Here is my input file. Your TAS is a great starting ground, but with more that can be done to it. Take your time with your next movie.
