General Info


Route Differences - 100%

Form PJ on why Shade 5th

Shade Man revisit (to the respawn point and exiting, since that is all the additional content):
2684 frames (44 seconds)
Minus the cost of death abuse and respawn:
91411 - 90650 = 761 (11 seconds)
Total cost of revisit: +33

Shade Man fight (first pixel to teleport frame):
Hyper fist: 93758 - 92147 = 1611 (26.8 seconds)
Regular S.Adapter: 71314 - 69692 = 1622 (27.0 seconds)


Turbo Man:
Good truck with T.Bolt: 9.8 (from slide-shot to movement after truck death)
Other trucks with T.Bolt: 11.5, 10.5, 14.5
Good truck with Noise Crush: 6.8
Difference: -3-8 seconds, based on pattern

Turbo Man fights (from first pixel of health to end teleport):
Buster (good): 74931 - 71773 =  3158 (52.6 seconds)
S.Adapter (good): 74725 - 71773 = 2952 (49.2 seconds)
Noise crush QK: 106034 - 104966 = 1068 (17.8 seconds)
Difference: 32-35 seconds (probably 33 best case, since health refill is needed)

Total Turbo Man difference: 36-41 seconds with good luck on boss.  Probably -48 vs really bad luck.
OVERALL route difference: 33 seconds lost during revisit and Shade Man fight without Hyper Fist, 36-48 seconds saved with Turbo Man QK and truck fight.  In all, 3-15 seconds faster.
