I can't help feeling like this is a 'thing'.
I'd like to see a new rule in place - simply improving the final boss by a short bit shouldn't include either authorship or publication.

Serious question. Are you considering doing a TAS for the terrible brother of DOS Mega Man - DOS Mega Man 3? That's a much harder and longer game, but also features swimming!
Given the crappy feedback for this game, and the incoming rejection - probably not.

Wow, that was awesome.

This thread is played out. The only person who can change this now is XKeeper, and given his comments in IRC, I don't forsee this changing. Every point has been rehashed repeatedly.
Locking.

To all the No voters/Meh - if this were redone at a forced slower speed, would you vote yes?

Really? Sorta seems like an unfair comment. This is the second worst rated run on the Workbench. (Right after a sonic run, amusingly.)

Having played this game many times on a variety of machines, I would like to point out that there is an option for in-game throttling, though I forget the hotkeys at the moment.
Quick testing on DOSBox shows that F1 increases the speed and F2 decreases it. I had completely forgotten about this, probably because DOSBox lets you change the CPU cycles, but now I remember using it all the time to slow the game down on a 486.
GAAH! I missed this. I may end up redoing the run now. If I do, I'll try and find a normal mega man speed.

Oh, this was laughably dumb. In this case, I find it kind of a shame the game's so fast, you can barely tell what's even going on, which its clean and well put together visuals (sarcasm, sarcasm) don't help with. I also enjoy the game's bold use of music and sound effects.
Either way, it was quick and pretty entertaining, thus a yes vote. Also, I second Mothrayas' wish for MM3 PC.
This is actually a pretty big problem with the game - I had no idea how fast it was, before TASing it. The problem is, it is CPU throttled, i.e. it runs as fast as your CPU will let it. Thus, the only way to slow it down to 'intended' speed it is to seriously throttle the CPU. However, as a judge - if this were accepted, I'd accept it with the caveat of "Will obsolete with a slower movie due to lower CPU speed emulation."
In the mean time, VLC media player will slow movies down - I suggest watching it at 50% speed - Perhaps an encoder could create a 50% speed file?
Also, thanks for the quick encode, Ilari!

I think what you're saying is, why not make the author go an extra mile after they have already went through the trouble of making a TAS?
More importantly, this may dissuade some TASers from submitting. We are already pretty upset that there are some awesome Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest TASes on nicovideo that haven't been submitted here. Another barrier to submission is a very, very, bad idea.

why anyone would TAS stadium events is beyond me. It is nearly the exact same game as World class track meet.

Edit: what happens if Will encounters the overworld hitbox of two monsters at the same time?
I tried the shade skip numerous ways, including defeating enemies right over him. Interestingly, when you return to the castle via the Shade skip, the king gives you the defeat text instead of the instruction text. In reality, I believe running into the princess that way was probably an abandoned way of finishing that encounter - since after you defeat shade, you automatically talk to her, instead of returning to the world map.
Also, if you encounter two enemies at once, you can fight or run - fighting and winning means the next encounter will auto-start, and if you run, you can walk over both, iirc - neither being particularly useful.

The fact is, I have spent far too much time volunteering when I should have been balancing my act between volunteering and seeking paid work. This is no one's fault but my own. I'd like to continue volunteering, but it is irresponsible for me to devote further time to it if I haven't even taken a step towards fixing this issue. If you want to call this a threat to stop volunteering unless someone pays me, that's your judgement to make. The point is that I need to step away from, or at least dramatically reduce, my contributions, and I'd appreciate any help I can get as far as finding programming work. I'm not asking for a free lunch.
Thats fine. I totally understand that real-life takes precedent over hobbies. As I said, I'm fine with this thread, but please keep need for work separate from your contributions to the site.

Here's hoping that someone has a use for my abilities. I'd like to resume encoding at a casual pace soon, but it's hard to justify any further contributions past TASing or the occasional publication when I have no source of income.
I honestly had no problem with this thread being here, until this. Its a tough economy right now, and I think people saying "Hey, got any coding projects you need for a bit o' cash?" is not wrong. However, this almost seems to be "pay me or I stop volunteering." That isn't how volunteering works.
Encoders, TASers, judges, admins, etc all step away from their duties when real life duties call. This is a hobby, and should be treated as such.
(If I made a dollar for every encode I've done here, I'd have more than double the amount I am trying to raise in the immediate future).

The maker of this test should take a self-esteem/narcissism test.
Please enter a single word to describe what you think of the person in the below photograph.
Needy-narcissitic-asshole-who-created-a-test-just-to-get-feedback-on-how-awesome-he-thinks-he-is.
Close enough to one word.
Also, I love how any jackwad on the internet can post a test.

Couldn't you do this with insane amounts of RAM, by making a key frame every 100000000000000 (very large number) frames?

I can't help but feel like this game is someone's senior project for college, and not an actual sellable game. It is like a ROM hack, but instead a copy.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but since PC games are so easy to make, it seems like we need to draw a line, like we do for hacks. Otherwise, I could write a game called "DarkKobold winz thiz TAS" and try and get it published.
