For the starting time i would do, when green toad continue countdown screen fade to cutscene or as usual any%,when toad hit the ground. In my opinion we shoudn't allowed save state in any way, it should be done in right way as every speedrun
Like example, in duck tales 1, Best ending category players found, that they could manipulate rng and item drop by just waiting 6 whole minute in title screen, and nobody told or to make it easier for runners to running the game by save states or change logs in Emulators, they wait this 6 min, so in battletoads this setup to play for yellow toad should be like showed in this video, killing green toad and then speedrun begin, of course it followed resets between attempts
Found a new skip on Maze, could save around 20+- sec if make a normal setup
Its been a year since this was posted and as a runner, that drop grinding sub16 for Donald because of Super Jump glitch, maybe it would really good to add Glitchless or Japanese version category for this game,maybe it will have some popularity for some runners that just don't want to learn this frame perfect jumps
For first, i play on Kega Fusion, got my pb on 16:19 and hit the wall didnt understanding what i do wrong, but watch @inceptionkitten run and notice, that her run is much smoother, while i lose frames or drop fps, thats why i decided to change emulator to RetroArch (GPGX Core), and it emulate more smoother without droping frames,and immeately i got a WR paces, on same day get 16:10 PB and kept going rn, on fusion i dont think i could get better.maybe save like 3-4 seconds of my 16:19 time. Although, i watch Gutosur run, where he has much smoother emulation than mine on Kega Fusion, maybe he change something on settings and it get a advange,maybe im wrong if that so, im sorry
Hello speedrunners of Spartan X2
First things first, i watch TAS of Spartan X2 and saw, that Uppercut using with jump i think, can humans may do this too, and here it is, my attemps of using this with inputs
In theory that is 1 frame( as in Battletoads with Dash jump) So, you press down, than immideately press Up,Forward + Punch Using Emulator: Mesen 0.9.9, Gamepad: Sony Dualsense (If its important) Nobody discuss it, so i made this thread I know that there is not a lot of runners, but i hope it was this helpful to you and maybe it will help to improve, have a great day!
