Because it is still improvable. These runners seem to practice and try to death, they even have that tool that counts their time and compares to the best attempt.

Aren't you trying to say the RIGHT-most player need to be far enough to the right to scroll the screen at the fastest speed?

Warp: though now you don't raise that question, here I have something that proves the validity of such an ending. The game executes the very ending code, it is only a matter of WHEN and HOW it is being jumped to. The game's pointer gets broken and runs through RAM, then through open bus, and then reaches some numbers in the beginning of the ROM. These numbers contain the ending routine somewhere inside them. Game Over routine is somewhat related to it, so in the previous movie it also worked out. And after that code is executed, the game proceeds exactly as it does when the ending is reached the normal way. More details can be found here: Post #326882 Post #334078 Post #326684

The person that finds the LAST improvement must submit it and list everyone who came up with improvements ITT as co-authors. No one disagreed with that proposal so far.

I see. Misoptimization shall not be considered a trade-off however, it is still misoptimization. But yes, I'm voicing my will to accept this submission and wait for someone who can implement the improvements. Ideally, it would be the author himself, and everything must be discussed in an appropriate thread in Games forum. It is a great start already, let it grow to a serious level.

Can anyone estimate whether the saving coming from the scrolling glitch makes up for the losses in suboptimal places Heidman mentioned? I think it would be critical, since we still could accept a run that can be improved, but introduces a time saver bigger than the possible improvements.

"?" in the name produces some problems. No way to use it in filenames, no way to use it as a homepage. And the very forum name is still xxNKxx. To me using xxNKxx looks more logical actually. N?K can be set as a real name I think, while xxNKxx can be a nickname. Using different names on forums and in submissions makes no sense to me. Unless both are equal (/*- and slashstardash).

Voted Meh, only the last levels have enough action, but the type of it is the same throughout the game so it gets boring from the beginning and doesn't change too much to get a Yes for a half an hour run.

It's better to be asked on their forum, we can only imagine the reasons.

That's why I once again mentioned I wished the Demo tier existed. This is a very huge tech achievement that can not actually be judged by pure entertainment grounds. I'm not 100% okay with the current system either.

I'm going to unset the Commentaries flag if they are unavailable anymore.

I'd prefer you to make REALLY sure you haven't missed any more improvements. Watch it again at slow speed and test everything once more. The rate you keep finding improvements at implies it is still suboptimal.

I liked it, it is also faster than the latest 1P Super C movie: [105] NES Super C "1 player" by Genisto in 12:39.42 Doing a fast encode. One question: jumps don't seem to slow you down in this game, while they cost 1 frame in the original one, right? EDIT: The trick in the last level is amazing, can it also be applied to the 2P branch?

We don't do blind obsoletion (unortunately there are still some examples of such). It's not just another branch, it's also an unfair advantage code run. I already explained that all, why repeat the same arguments all over again?

Correct, this run is still more entertaining than the published one. But the tier system is set up that way so we can accept only a certain range of content to Vault - the games that have plain speed records, which can be interesting to watch to certain people, and there these games are. Being a speed record with NO trade-offs is what justifies expanding Vault. There are SOME runs that contradict this initial Vault system, but 1) that's another question, and 2) past mistakes don't justify repeating them in future. Even if this submission does obsolete the published run by entertainment, there's no reason to replace/obsolete anything, since these 2 runs belong to different branches. If you finally make the any% run, it will definitely obsolete the current one. As for what variety over the existing run this one represents, if we had a Demo tier, I would gladly move this submission to there just to show off something. But there's no Demo tier. And this can't be published. dunnius, your feelings and intension are known, no one disqualifies them. But the current system isn't suitable for such manifestation of them.

It would be possible for them to co-exist (this one being a side branch) if this submission had good feedback that would lead it to Moons (the place where categories other than any% and 100% can exist). But the feedback here is quite bad, and using this cheat means it can not become legit any% category, so unfortunately it can not be published neither in Moons nor in Vault for now. I can't imagine the branch that would be liked by the audience, even though I understand that this cheat improves the time very much. But TASVideos can't accept everything, there is still some bar explained here: http://tasvideos.org/Guidelines.html#Tiers http://tasvideos.org/JudgeGuidelines.html#TiersAndGoals

Okay, then for this branch it must be optimal. I actually think the votes are OKAY enough to go to Moons (and the content does look nice), but that's just me. Any more opinions anyone?

That's just insane! AnS would be happy about what TASEditor does in skilled hands! It's funny how he once said that it would be cool if someone would strike in here and there and shave off a few more frames where traditional method didn't help. MESHUGGAH appears to make these dreams come true. Wow!

Cheat and debug codes are also built into games by devs. Being built in proves it's not a glitch. Then it's a sort of code giving unfair advantage and reducing the difficulty.
