I'm thinking of improving the mode Maxim no warps, because in the beginning can be improved (I mean, on the home screen)
I'm Feeling prepared the first area

For now, I have improved the "Maxim Version" by 32 frames. I'll submit this when I'm totally sure that there aren't any more parts can be improved in this.
I'm fed up with frame war...

Fear not. You've performed this perfectly. Congratulations, especially on figuring out how to squeeze through the upper-left corner of the Clocktower room! I never succeeded doing that.
<klmz> it reminds me of that people used to keep quoting adelikat's IRC statements in the old good days
<adelikat> no doubt
<adelikat> klmz, they still do

"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself.
It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the
kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional
functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success."

What define a true 100% run of this game?
EDIT: And this game does have had 5 (4 current) categories just as Super Metroid.

I've already given permission on a "in-bounds-all-bosses" run which would setup the 6th 5th (published) category. You people want more? What about a "low%" run? An "OK-ending" run? Or a "hard-boss-rush" played as Simon?

Finally beat DWB.
I've also decided not to submit this when it's done, due to possible route change for the bosses, and me having no idea how to manipulate crits at the moment.
I'll still be completing this just to get used to the movement and certain boss strats.
Here's everything up to the zip after DWB:

You may want to watch this run. I wonder why no one has posted it here yet...

Sorry, I couldn't find its movie file.
Retired because of that deletion event.
Projects (WIP RIP): VIP3 all-exits "almost capeless yoshiless", VIP2 all-exits, TSRP2 "normal run"
Thanks for posting that, it definitely brings up a lot of ideas (shurikenless damage glitch?), but unfortunately since I'm using zips and warps, most of the route is entirely unusable for me.
Is this stuff known around here?

I dunno if there's anything particularly useful you can do with this yet.
EDIT:
Here's one idea, at least: grabbing some save point early for a "Saveroom"-warp. For example, you could warp to Castle Top Floor, save on the save room there. Then you'd do the "copy file" type of a warp, which can be used to return Juste back to the beginning of the game, while still keeping the Castle Top Floor savepoint as the return point for the save warp.
I dunno how this'd work route-wise or anything, but hey, at least it can be done :P
Another possible use would be getting the Floodgate key from Skeleton Cave early, and similarly just teleporting back to the start. Again, no idea if this means anything for a run.
Interesting as this is, it's a ROM hack that doesn't really change the game in any way aside from adding new characters so I doubt it'd be acceptable.

Excellent finds! Can't wait to see them put to use in a TAS.

So, a tiny update on some findings. Don't think I'll make a vid, since there's not really much more than just, some info I guess you'd call it, nothing particularly fancy or anything.
- If you have camera lock, you can cancel it by activating the rolling skeleton head in Skeleton Cave B. Would be interesting to know what would happen if you could zip out of that room while the head is rolling, but doesn't seem like there's a way.
- By using the Griffin's Wing, you can use the drawbridge to zip to Clock Tower by smashing yourself against the ceiling right before it closes.
- Getting MK's Bracelet is pretty annoying if doing Relic Skip. Not only do you need Crushing Stone for it, you can't even pick the bracelet up while the camera is locked, since the cutscene with Maxim won't trigger. Maybe there's some zip to the left side of that room?
- Picking up items on the same frame as you Level Up doesn't seem to do anything interesting. If you pick up a Life Up, only "Level Up" is displayed. If you pick up a Heart Max Up, both the texts are shown, on top of each other.
Also, some stuff I'm wondering:
- Warp rooms are kind of weird, I'm not even sure I understand completely how they work. Basically, the trigger for the warp rooms is watching the Death cutscene at Clock Tower B, after that you can use them to warp from one castle to another or in-between them. However, it seems sometimes if you get a warp room visit before watching that cutscene, you cannot warp to that warp room yet, and I'm not quite sure what I've done differently to make it so. If I visit another warp room after watching the cutscene, I've always been able to also warp to the warp room I got before I watched the cutscene... but sometimes I've been able to do it right off the bat too.
- Testing whether or not it's possible to do the Talos warp to Clock Tower at the start of the game, in such a way you'd be able to get in the Save Room, might be worth it for All Relics or something.
