Great run! I remember in the early days you werent exactly confident improving The Axe Mans run by more than a second. Now, you managed to gain 18 seconds :) Thats astonishing. Will Xipo restore Chinas pride, will he retaliate? To be concluded! (voted yes by the way)

Try to keep an open mind about their improvement. It is easy for you, as a viewer to want someone else tasing a game you want, but as you know, there are many factors that needs be considered here. Like having a interest for a game, time, patience and lots of other things. For the record, we strive for perfection so knowing they improved the former run by around 2 seconds seems quite natural. Like moozooh said, if you are not satisfied with tasvideos, there is always speedruns.net. Peace out!

Indeed. I forgot to mention this in my previos post. The way the character moves, holds his sword, how the coins move, how the minibosses appear etc resembles very much Wonderboy. I think they knew this, it cannot be a coincidence.

I think I have said this before but it is certainly worth saying again: it is always a pleasure seeing your castlevania runs. The speed, the critical hits, luck manipulation and most importantly and the most entertaining part; going through walls is something I find very amusing. Easy yes vote.

Now I remember why I did not download the current published run of the Genesis version of Aladdin. Because I think the SNES version has far better music, style and "feeling". That being said, I guess I should not vote on this submission knowing I prefer the SNES version.

Agreed but most games are like that :)
Exactly what I was thinking. You definitely could have used your health to speed up things. I have to unfortunately vote no as I think this run can be optimized further.

What the hell, I will give it a yes vote :) You have to admit, the character looks absolutely adorable and that applies pretty much for the game as well. All in all, this run looked pretty optimized, but I am sure a few more frames can be squeezed here and there.

For God sake! Would it kill ya if you would face right?? :) I got slightly annoyed you faced left 90% of the run but I guess the good thing about that is that it reminded me of the Super Mario World tas. Yes vote.

I definitely consider this to be a entertaining run. Easy yes vote, excellent work as always. Whats good and different about Ninja Gaiden 3 is that you actually get a chance to see whats going on when you are facing a boss. In Ninja Gaiden 1 and 2, the boss fights are usually over within 1-2 seconds.. :)

It was hard to decide what to vote. First, I would like to acknowledge both of you for doing something bold, something refreshing, something pretty entertaining and something out of the ordinary. I especially liked the part of playing baseball :) In the end, I felt it was just a touch too much, but thats probably due to this old rascal being used too much expecting a run getting finished quickly as possible. I definitely would like to see this run getting published alongside Chamales run. I give this a positive meh vote.

Voted Meh. I think this game have potentials. But as of now, the run you produced was not enough to vote yes. I feel you can minimize lag here and there and possibly make it a bit more entertaining.

Thanks for your encouragements. here is my wip = http://www.mediafire.com/?83abufzgwys. I am 68 frames faster than Neofix on the stage and 2 frames on the boss fight. Note, I know there are a few questionable maneuvers but so far, I see no other alternatives.
Edit: I am using the Kenseiden (UE) [!].sms ROM, but the (J) ROM should work as well.

Hello SMS people! I have decided to work on Kenseiden as soon as possible (I am currently writing a C-essay so thats taking a lot of my time). And there is a pretty big chance I'll work with the one and only FODA! The other reason why I am posting is, if anybody have any pointers, ideas, suggestions for any possible tricks, sequence breaks, glitches etc, please let us know now or forever hold your peace! Peace out.

Right. Is it because you have to buy the weapon? If so, would doing so take too much time? But nevertheless, at least you can zip with your other weapon.

Solid play, nice job. Too bad it takes so long to kill Cold Man but you did your best to be entertaining. Have you begun planning where to use those crazy glitches parrot14green?

This is a pretty good example that shooting games can be pretty entertaining. One example is when you taunt your enemies by easily avoiding their projectiles. I vote yes and I hope this motivates someone to work on Super R-Type.
