Emulator used: FCEU 0.98.16
Little improvements here and there, most noticeably in Areas 10 and 12. 264 frames faster than the currently published run.
Bleh.
Also, thanks to Bisqwit for making nesmock, which saved us an estimated seven billion years of work.

Dammit! Now you're gonna make me go find a copy of the ROM for the laptop, aren't you?! :angry face: (Will vote after I track down the damn rom again so I can watch.) Edit: Still can't remember where I got the rom with the right checksum, but that first truck scene was sweet. Edit2: Hah! Third time's the charm. Is it sad that I noticed a move that yielded at most 5 frames' improvement in Area 9, but I can't tell what's been improved in Area 12? Anyway, it's faster and the first truck scene is just pretty. Yes vote.

The Zig-Zag-rooms gained us like a second (Quite amazing, seeing how the sparks go on a timer which defines hate and horrible tasting food (Don't ask)), and then some random frames in the elevator-rooms.

In the second truck fight you seemed to miss the last shot. Was it intentional? Edit: Nevermind, I think I see what happened.

It's faster, stronger and better than the last one. Yes.

About the previous submission, I wrote:
Great movie, this game really does lend itself well to TASing.
The improvements were noticeable, definitely a yes vote!

I figured some/most of it had to be in those rooms (because I remember how fiendish those sparks are in real time), I just can't see it when watching at full speed. Whereas I noticed this move in particular, despite the fact that it couldn't possibly have saved you more than a few frames. (Even though it looks awesome and should be used as the screenshot for the new publication. =D)

I'm sorry, I have to vote no. While this was technically a (near-)perfect run, I found it almost completely lacked the flair and magic of Genisto's run. Maybe I'm biased against the version-switch, I don't know. I was a huge fan of this game back in the day, and have played it through on cartridge and emulator several times. And still I had to force myself to watch this to the end. Again, I'm sorry, but I was not entertained.
