So many things so far

skipping 3 intro as fast as possible
pausing the game before loading level 1 (and disabling music to save 2 frames at least which only possible while pausing) and unpausing to save many frames
pausing (nearly) every 12 frames and unpausing without losing time but saving in-game time! final TAS will incude that flashy pausing stuff because I'm aiming for lowest in-game time
if you go in to a console (door, exit use etc), you can press a button within 4 frames which will be frozen in terms of pressing any other buttons while the console comes up will replay that specific button's action (which I use to get closer to the next door)
since the passwords of each door are always the same, the TAS will go each level's doors and input their password instead of brute forcing (generic way of completing levels)
menu movement might be not 100% optimized (no debugger in bizhawk, didnt found best ram address so far)

Movie aims for fastest input (in-game time ignored as enemy post behaviour need to be optimized)
Most of the levels uses Ryuto's strategies

lvl3 I do an alternative version because it's impossible to do the single punches in a row and then the uppercuts because of the enemy behaviour (which would save 0.10~0.16 in game time)
lvl4 final crotch shot is faster than simple punch, 7.50 vs 6.90 (and faster animation)

only first 5 enemies done

Used dwangoAC's movie, edited first 2 waves.

The TAS is unimprovable because of the game's probably (guessing an estimate) 120 frames rule on how fast you beat the level.

"it takes 1 frame to change cursor on level change" -> need to retest

Probably improvable levels:

3rd level -> decrease U or walljumps to do the 4th level start faster
8th level -> the same problem as 4th level
final level (I miss 1px on Y axis so it sucks)

Implement:

walljumps when bb not required
bbbbbbb for better bby
make sure direction before bbb

Optimized all frames (bowling turns) except 6th 7th 8th 9th

"frame over" indicator I've used 0x0059

Differences from previous movie:

4th frame done with max-1 power > saves 13 frames
5th frame doesn't use the slow strategy (waiting for the direction meter going to the right), instead going to the left and shooting at correct point > saves many frames
last frame much shorter (9 frames long)

Difference from previous usermovie:

- 5th frame (bowling turn) improved by ~10 frames by moving fewer times to the left.

You need to optimize frames (bowling) by searching for a memory value that indicates "completion".

You can see that this movie is faster albeit pins rolling much longer after hitting them.

Probably syncs.

It looks like menu navigation can be improvd using 2nd pad "r" to use it 1 frame earlier than same "R" when selecting challenge

The other trick is using another button instead of S (start) when skipping name, saving also 1 frame

Just a bit optimized TAS up to ~1200th frame.

Lag frames are removable by limiting number of sprites, overriding sound channel, limiting the number of moving sprites simultanously.

Pick an X pos address 137f 1511

OR

151A 1B50

edit: something 13 frames improved.

Added pauses to the published TAS where it impacts the game. Saves 175 frames compared to the http://tasvideos.org/2834M.html

Desyncs around frame 2000 I guess because of lagginess of the game.

You can spam the pause button fter the 59th frame to effectively reduce the waiting time 1 frame per 2 frames of pressing it (P, empty), even on lag frames.

Seems super fishy. Also there's a TAS of this game.

Movie demonstrates a few things

1. Pausing at first possible frame. If you remove that pause, you lose 1 frame (easy to observe by either checking the first frame to shoot goes 1 frame later as well the gray line on the wall)

2. Reset has no function.

edit: After pausing, frames will be lag frames.

This movie demonstrates the pause glitch.

In this game, you need to wait at least 60 frames to land and jump on a ramp again. Not 100% sure what determines the additional wait time.

To get the highscore as fast as possible, you can hold the pause after getting off to make sure you can jump on a ramp again after 60 frames.

This seems to be faster than slowing down because of the undeterminted random waiting time sometimes after the 60 frames.

(homebrew game) BizHawk 1.12.2

Movie shows the game requires an unpause. This can be done also with pressing start, selecting options and starting the game. Unsure what is the problem here.

Also this is a primary case of pause not working correctly. At the very first, you can press P ANYWHERE before frame 168 to play without random pause....

But after that frame, you are required to press pause 3 times to unpause and just 1 to pause... (168 P, 169 P, 170 P)
