China Warrior is a beat-em-up for the PC Engine released in 1989. Set in China, it features a Bruce Lee expy, who ventures on to defeat the Dark Emperor atop Lu Hao Yang Castle. This game is notable for having really large sprites.

In this run, TaoTao ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/TaoTao ) plays through the 3rd and hardest loop of the game (the in game code doesn't let you enter the 3rd loop unless you game over in the 2nd loop, which is why the author does it at the beginning). This movie obsoletes as a 40 second improvement from gameplay alone, mainly due to a "special attack" that happens if the player takes damage from the boss, making their next attack super powerful.
