is there a SW in the elevator in Chozo?
rocks, locks, and invisible blocks
There is with FJ. But the only thing between you and Ice is 2 missile doors?
oh, I was thinking there were ice doors for some reason.
if you used this in the alternate tas route that gets ice/x-ray later in the run i think it would save some time.

you'd do early fiery shores pb -> lifegiver -> ice via fcs.

Yeah that was the plan. I've already timed that power bomb to be faster. I just wasn't sure if this wallcrawl would truly be faster than staying in chozo in a tas setting.

Okay so... this surprised me. I know a little bit of time can be saved during the X-Ray segment, which I didn't record, just because the new route would have Boost Ball, but I don't know that it'd be enough to make the route faster.

This had so much potential but that last room in the wallcrawl really kills it <_<

Edit:
Still lame but now they're like the same speed

Alright.. well there's 7 seconds saved. 2 more to go, I guess. The extra missile saves even more time though, since it can replace the missile in Triclops Pit, so really these routes are like dead even.

I'm more interested now in a potential route that skips Varia Suit. I need to be able to 3 Tank VMR and collect Strength and still have ~60 energy left over for TFT.

What happened in the left vid?

Which video and when?
Edit: ... oh. I accidentally saved over one of the video clips with a later one. I'll reupload a working video later. The timing was still accurate.

Edit: VMR stuff:
Okay so a 3 tank VMR returning from Phendrana and going to Plasma Beam has potential to make a faster route than the current TAS. If you take 10 damage/second, that means you have 30 seconds to VMR with no drops.

Here's a screenshot of the current TAS going through this section, in 30 seconds I reach the last room before the Elevator. If I collect energy drops from the boxes in Monitor Station and get a PB refill somewhere else, that's an extra 30 energy iirc. And then there are drops in Fiery Shores, I think 4 10-energy drops from boxes (it might be 5 I forget) and 20 from the Magmoor, and another 20 from the Magmoor in the room before the Elevator. So that's 110 or something from drops, which should barely be enough to still clear Twin Fires Tunnel (which takes about 60 energy) (room before the elevator takes just under 50 I believe).
I think it should be possible to do with optimization and perfect drops. It might even be worth killing a puffer or something in Monitor Station too. I'm sure there's a way to make it work.

Just felt like doing this room for some reason
Can you do this for the rest of the game

I'll pass.

New highest bomb jump (without a wall). It also takes less time than a UBJ.

Holy shit. What opportunities does this open for low%?

Edit: Watching it back, it doesn't look too much higher than an optimal UBJ. Got ahead of myself :P

It goes like 0.175 units higher lmao. It takes less time to do than a UBJ though, so it's still good for 21% TAS stuff.

Edit: I got a little bit more height. This seems to be the limit.

Here's a bomb jump that literally can not be done with a UBJ or HBJ (NSJ at least).
11.1371 (would be 11.6266 if I had SJ)
9.9217 (without unmorph)

The flick off the ledge allows you to space out the 2 bombs more than 3 frames and get even more height

DCR asked me to do this:
is it not possible with a double bomb jump?

Here's the progress I made last night on a TAS version of the Impact Crater SW:


I use closing the door on the Metroid to cancel it's "I just got bombed" animation, which saves a fair bit of time. Also I used the Metroid's attack to push me out of bounds, by transitioning rooms right before it latched onto me in order to cancel it's attack and make it just float into me.

I have an idea of using a bomb and BSJ to leave the Door Open Trigger, rather then boosting away from it, This would allow for an instant unmorph (to shoot and open the door again sooner) and possibly close the door even sooner too, since the top of the trigger is closer to the door than the side.
