A simple & short TAS. The goal is to complete Training Area from the title screen.
This is a 4-frame improvement over my TAS 3 years ago. 2 frames come from this new Air Dash technique I found during my X4 Zero TAS. There's another 4 frames difference due to newer emulator version, but that doesn't count as an improvement.
Difficulty is untouched, because it won't affect the Training Area.
Zero is chosen, because Zero can kill the boss much faster than X.
Boss is Alia Magma Dragoon, but a much weaker version than Mega Man X4, with limited moves.
Turnaround SDC (Slash Dash Cancel) is used in the boss fight, as it's faster than the regular SDC. Taking damage beforehand is necessary.

Hi HappyLee. Regarding the topic https://tasvideos.org/Forum/Topics/26020 , you mentioned that there was a one-frame input delay of some kind. According to the submission notes, you used BizHawk 2.10. Did the one-frame input delay have any effect on the TAS?

Good question. I actually did this TAS with BizHawk 2.8 Octoshock (no delay), and then resynced it with 2.10. The actual game play should be the same. Difference is with lag frames. Unfortunately my issue in that topic hasn't been solved, so I have no choice but to do X5 TAS this way. Hopefully there'll be better ways in the future, because resyncing a TAS takes extra efforts.
Recent projects: SMB warpless TAS (2018), SMB warpless walkathon (2019), SMB something never done before (2019), Extra Mario Bros. (best ending) (2020).

Can you upload your BizHawk 2.8 Octoshock (no delay) TAS, for comparison purposes? I would like to understand what you mean by "no delay", because I tested Mega Man X5 on both cores in 2.8, and I was unable to find a difference so far.
