So I'm back, with some theories about the game. (...and an explanation) I was gone for 4 months due to school and other events in my life such as a relative passing away. But, I'm back with new theoretically possible world records. (And a theory for the difference between and E-star and a P-star on levels.) So, I was redoing my records with proof now that I have the motivation after losing my progress.

Theoretical LVL 2 Record: 22s, I got very close to this by doing small hops constantly and hitting perfect sword bounces.

Theoretical LVL 4 Record: 23s, This one is the most probable. If you hit some perfect bounces, I got 24s flat -- so this is in reach.

Every level in World 3 is possible to be improved, with the exception of 35s on Glacier Valley and 26s on Tall Tall Mountain -- to my knowledge.

Now for the difference between E-star & P-star, P-star is impossible to get on level 5, 10, 15, 20, 21 and 22 -- as P stands for pacifist and you have to kill the boss to beat those stages with the exception of 21, on that level you need to kill the enemies instead of bosses. ...this could be a made into a category (Pacifist%)

Very interesting, do sword bounces increase speed? Do they only increase your speed if you hit the enemy dead center?

Also, I'm super interested in seeing you run 100% runs for the other IL's using the resource I posted.

Sorry that I am late to this, I tested if sword bounces give speed, during my tests I found that they do give a slight temporary speed boost, you can hit it at a ~35 degree at the back on the enemy to launch yourself in the opposite direction the enemy is in.

I am very happy for the resources you posted, I'm just wondering on how to actually use it as I use the newgrounds player version of AS because supernova does not really work.

If you manage to help me with this, you would also prevent a lot of full game resets I would have to do to try to 100% a level, thanks in advance.

On level 1 while I was casually playing, I almost got 25s, it changed to 26s right as I was about to land on the portal, it seems this happened by constantly bouncing off the targets at a specific angle, also some things about sword bouncing: if you want the most height without stopping you can either a option) jump before the enemy and hit a sword bounce on the top at the right time b option) jump right infront of the enemy and then bounce off the enemy immediatly after. option A gives more height, but you get more speed from option B.

Also here is some possible and likely times: L3: Towering Mushrooms - this may have a chance to be reduced to 24s. L5: Bush Battle - this can be beaten even faster than 21s, depending you much damage you deal, it cannot be lowered below 16s as that is the time it takes to get to the boss room, have the boss' death animation play out, the portal appear and then to get to the cat.

But the most likely time is a 31s on Stone Soldiers.

To use my resources, you'll need to figure out where EBF AS saves its game. For me, it's in

Users/chumpatrol1/roaming/macromedia/flash player/#Shared Objects/ randomstringofnumbers/ and then I have to figure out which folder it saves in. Try checking there?

There are two folders that I have for Adventure Story (one for each mirror on BlueMaxima's flashpoint). there's an andkon.com folder for Andkon's EBF AS, and an uploads.ungrounded.net folder for Kongregate's EBF AS. Honestly, you'll have to dig around there because I haven't installed any Newgrounds game off of Flashpoint.
