Definitely lots of improvements to be had there - ideal goal is to kill everything with two sticks of dynamite (much faster than knives, as it's 32HP of damage per hit vs 16HP of damage) Stage 4 group battle prior to boss fight. At the moment, I don't think it's related to anything except stage 4 gargoyle spears, and dynamite blast hitting 1P or 2P. There's 'instant death' logic in the Assembly code for this game, but I'm not sure how many different places call this subroutine (still analyzing code). Stage 3, Battle Sequence 1 (White Williams, Black Roper x2, White Roper, Linda)

This leaves the Y positions for Lindas always greater than (FF, 00). If I don't manipulate Y positions, All direct paths to ledge (meaning mobs never walk back up towards elevator) always result in the same Y values once they get to the ledge. The slight 'bump' I give to Lindas by elevator changes their Y value to something that guarantees I'll get a Y value equal to FE. This is the only way to 100% guarantee Y will be equal to FE when get to ledge. Why do you have to manipulate Y position? I do this to guarantee the final Y positions of the last 1 or 2 steps before enemies get to ledge are divisible by 2 (Y % 2 = 0). I do this because otherwise, the Y values will never be below (FF, 00) Y position manipulation: I jam Lindas into corner to adjust their Y positions. not 100% reliable, not familiar enough with Assembly code to understand the fall and fetch ground logic

100% guaranteed - works on All Enemies: (Y, Y_frac) < (FF, 00).
