better jump off to boss scene from earlier one

Saved 3 frames on moving platform. The last one requires the same trick.

Applied jy's amazing solutions in level 4:

Saved 3 frames we were losing over his run. Also, really added my boss 3 fight. Boss 4 now needs new resync though.

the local potato peeler joins the universal tas soldier's effort

Don't think it's useful

Boss 3 starts at 15501 and spawns at middle.

Barrel is 1 frame slower than guy because it would require to delay a frame to get the same subpos and it would be slower.

Comparison time with time of picking up the flower. My last uploaded movie: 5296 11278 (level 3 first fall lag: 12856) This movie (with feos' level 1): 5286 11268.

Note that this route doesn't takes the "better" Y pos by boosting differently at ~8758 (bird at rope). Taking it would make it 1 frame slower due to lag. I've already got so bad lag frames after the 3 rings around 9332.

Level 3 started with same subposes so it's 1 frame slower than the guy. As far as I see, it's only possible by losing 1 frame and tweak subpos at boss fight 1.

saved something really

2 frames faster by using the interactive objects earlier. Boss ends at 5519 (instead of 5521)

This movie has 5 frames delay before boss start (4389~4393)

Saved 14 frames up to 7988.

Route for level 1 must be tested more to lose less frames from lag and still have boss patterns:

Flight down being first we need all 2 HP on boss, while if he starts from 2 divings, and finishes with flight down, we save HP and he falls from a lower position.

RNG values that make him do a slow flight (all the rest are for diving):
20-3F, 60-7F, A0-BF, E0-FF

"optimized" until ~8075th frame. 16 frames faster than JY

144 frames faster than published one

Should be 3 frames saved overally. gets off-sync at level 4 boss 3 HP. that nasty RNG... couldn't find any other savings before 20000th frame.

128 frames faster.

Submission hype everyone!

Boss 5 appears 120 frames faster than adelikat.

Removed some lag frames from level 4 (between the 2 jumping spear throwing fishman and at boss at jump lags)

Ends level 4 22081 (102 frames faster)

Need a better pattern, maybe MESHUGGAH shaves some in-level frames.

Currently 80 frames over adelikat.

Removed a lag frame from level 3. Boss pattern changed so redid. No HP loss in this level, because it doesn't saves frame anywhere.

52 frames faster than adelikat's published run until start of level 4.

Currently implemented optimizations from me: - optimizing "grapp target" jumping offs - abusing a position/subpixel trick to throw crates as fast as possible (removing 1 frame of direction 16 frames earlier of doing that action) - lag frame removing like a boss (carefully making actions) - pogo stick mania at level 1 after crates instead of ducking - movement optimizing mostly on ropes - different route at 2 places (stone at level 3 and level 3 boss) because of pattern change

Added feos's level 4 part (a bit synced until ~18133, ropes...)

Optimized until 12195 (start of level 3) (comparison movie: Duck-feos.fm2 old one), 42 frames faster.

Optimized until 7564th frame

Saves 2 frames instead of 6....

18 frames saved total at the start of level 1 boss fight. (Optimized only to that part now).

- Jumping off the rope at 2117 - Better catching the grapple target - Maybe better jump to the end of the screen after logs/water scene? - Better catching the grapple target - Second "moving platform" sequence changed (pogo stick madness). Somehow I can throw the next crate much earlier.
