The central strategy of TSS speedrun is a set of constants that I call the internal chain explosion quota. There are six internal chain explosion quotas for each pair of a CPU character and internal rank, and the value that is referenced to changes every 1024 frames (approximately 17 seconds) from the start of the round. The referenced internal chain explosion quota is compared with the number of ongoing chain explosion counts at that point, and if certain comparison conditions are met, the CPU character's alert behavior toward the attack changes. There are two types of comparison conditions between the internal chain explosion quota and the number of ongoing chain explosions: the condition of exceeding the quota and the condition of tripling the quota. The condition for exceeding the quota is

(chain explosion count) > (internal chain explosion quota)

If this condition is satisfied, the width and height of the range that the opponent CPU character is alerted to the attack will be respectively halved until 5 seconds after the end of the bombing sequence or until the conditions for tripling are satisfied. The condition for tripling the quota is

(chain explosion count) ≧ 3*(internal chain explosion quota)

Added on 2023-01-12: If you start the game as player 2, the condition is reduced to doubling the quota.

(chain explosion count) ≧ 2*(internal chain explosion quota)

When this condition is satisfied, the opponent CPU character does not alert against attacks until 5 seconds after the moment when the condition is satisfied. After 5 seconds, the range length and width will be reduced by half for another 5 seconds, just as when the condition of exceeding the quota is satisfied.

In short, a lot of chain explosions will stop the enemy's dodging action.

The following is the internal chain explosion quota for level 4 if none of the rounds were lost. The referenced number shifts to the right as the round time increases.
