TimeTrial 2013 - R1 - Out Zone (1 loop) [outzone]

[giro-X]

Made over 300 tries (after two days of pattern study), still didn't come up with something satisfying my desires.
I'm going through another big session, if I don't get stage 4 completed or better I'll have to upload stage 3.

[kernzy]

same here. damn hard!

[giro-X]

The method I use to calculate the framecount is from appearance of the character (blinking yellow from under the mothership) to the beginning of the explosion of the last defeated boss.

Okay then, I was extending it a bit I'll use it eventually in a future uploading.
I calculated from appearance of lives and energy indicator at the top, to the appearance of STAGE XX completed. So yeah, I counted some extra frames.

36121 frames, according to the previously described method, stage 5 completed.
Very awful time for being stage 5, I didn't get speed up before almost end of stage 3 and lost my first life at stage 4 (again!).

stage 3 ok - 19246 frames if i'm correct.

[BDF]

I tried running and finaly finished stage 3 mproving my frame number.
I also understood how to count frame by frame.

when in pause SHIFT-P advance frame-by-frame.

17162-460=16702
Not sure i will finished stage 4 before the end.

Stage 3 ok - 17790

[sawys]

stage 4 ok - 28790 (473-29263)

Hey man, are you sure the ZIP you loaded is correct? 22 bytes only it says, it's exactly the byte dimension on an empty ZIP
Kudos for beating the sixth stage you can be of company to me there, with nii-san. The unbeatable nii-san...

39500 frames [~39910 - 461] more or less, this is because I was lazy to verify which was the first frame with boss explosion (it died with a bomb... so explosion over explosion...)
First life lost at stage 6. It was a stupid death so I expect to be playing again until I get a no miss for the first 6 stages at least. In my practice of the first two days I wasn't able to do a complete loop with no miss.

that was great, mate.
is it quicker to go straight up then diagonally? seems the same to me.
never done speedruns before. if i don't shoot most of them, they turn around and shoot me!!

OK, I finally got thru boss 2. I thought we were counting when you started getting points, but I guess it's as soon as the boss dies. I'm not 100% sure on the frame, since I used a bomb to finish him off, but I think it's 12592. Started at 647, for a total of 11945. Gonna keep trying tonight.

I apologize for not having updated yesterday, I've been away from home. Now I'll download and replay everything new.

I will also give a final word about the reference time issue that TRB noticed (It was seen during KO too)

[BeeJay]

Finally a game where I managed to beat the 3rd boss.... definitely rusty on the game playing these days!!

Stage 03, 25617 frames.

Cheers,
BeeJay.
