HELL YES! Nice progress Primo, I go to the store for some stuff, come back, you're done. Yay!

Here's another entertainment thought for the TAS: Since Primo's name is never said, how about having the guy bike around spelling the name? It wouldn't waste any time if done during the WtW steps, and if Fuchsia runs out of entertainment value then it could waste some extra time.

Tom and Jerry also has an official colour palette. If this gets modified colours, I demand that my run get modified colours too! Note: I'm half-joking here. I really don't think runs should be "embellished", so I am quite against the colour change. But T and J does have an official colour set.

I for one am greatly in favour of making a bljless run. I find the biggest problem with the 120-star run is the really slow stars in it, which a 70-star would eliminate. Also, the BLJ glitch is way overused anyway.

Pokemon Red/Blue might be interesting, as there's an odd bug with hard reset which gives you a level 0 Charizard. With 0 defense. When it gets hit by an attack, the game evidentally tries to divide by 0 and freezes.

I, personally, like using programming errors because they speed up the runs so much. Look at SM64: There's a run which collects a mere 1 star, as opposed to the 70 it normally takes. However, when a game is glitched that badly, normally people usually start a no-glitch run, or in SM64's case, a run without one particular glitch.

About where to waste the extraneous steps (out of the 500) for WtW: I suggest Fuchsia city. You could do a tour of the whole "zoo" area, which is never looked at in a TAS. Afterwards, there's some jump-ledges under the gym, which could be used.

I found an odd warping trick in SMA the other day. I was just playing casually, and in 3-2 I was playing a peach, and in the Birdo fight I picked up a mushroom block, jumped, and threw the block. The block zoomed along the ceiling where I had thrown it, then fell. I suspect I threw the block into the ceiling, which made it "zip" megaman-like. Any other thoughts?

Here are my ideas for improving the TAS, ranked in order of feasibility, not magnitude 1. Frame improvements on last stretch of 8-4 2. Glitch through steps 3. Find a bug in 1-2 where the game thinks the pipe to go to 1-3 sends mario to 4-1 4. Some kind of "zipping" trick I've experimented the most with # 3, but nothing yet. Any ideas? EDIT: Here's one thought for #2. Get BasicBot or the like to want to get as low as possible, and as far right as possible, so it would show us the way to get down through the stairs. The frame count would be just low enough to not let it just run to the right and fall off the edge. Anyone with a fast computer willing to run it with this for a few days? Anyone going on vacation?

I don't think that's a good idea. Recall that the Blastoise run is 10 minutes slower than the Gyarados run, showing that it's not always best to just use a starter. Gyarados is much faster, thanks to Dragon Rage, a guaranteed KO until about Cerulean, and a 2HKO for a while afterwards. Anyway, your route involves catching 2 frivolous pokemon and picking up 2 frivolous items, which waste more time than just doing trainer-fly.

For WIPs, I guess I could put one up every seven stars; that would make an even six WIPs plus the submission. New question: for each level, should stars be in order like in Rikku's run, or kind of randomized like in FODA's?
Er, isn't that 9 WIPs? I think an interesting order would be slowest-to-fastest for each course. I'm not entirely sure it's a good idea to copy the 70-star on SDA. I'm going to start compiling a timing list of each star in the 120 TAS, ranked from slowest-to-fastest.

Out of curiosity, when was the last time a sub-10 minute movie was improved by 2 minutes?

Sounds like an excellent run, but how are you going to plan which 70 stars? My advice = Look at all the stars from Rikku's 120 star run, and redo all the ones with BLJ. Redo all the ones where 100 coins are picked up. Also, divide by 2 for the overall times of those. Then you'll have 135 star time. Then eliminate the 65 slowest. I think a no-BLJ run could be more interesting, because a 1-star skips all the meat and a 120-star run picks up a few rather pedantic stars, like most of the JRB stars.

Chamale, I personally advise you to resubmit instead of replace because some people already voted negative because of that ending.

I suggest you submit a new movie and cancel the current one. Because this update has great impact on how people vote on it.
As per their suggestions, this movie is now cancelled, and a new version's a-coming.

Randompie, take a look at Primo's Mew TAS, and compare it to the Gyarados TAS. Gyarados blasts through nearly everything. Gengar and Nidoqueen would reduce 10 hits, however, it would take 12 hits to get them at level 1, plus a bonus to take them to level 100. EDIT: Wait a minute. Reading your post again, I noticed that one major point: Level up music. Perhaps, because of that, a level 100 Gengar would be better. Hang on while I go get all the info I accumulated while proposing a run with level 100 Snorlax. ENCORE: Yup. 2.5 seconds for the music to play. That's around 35 seconds lost so far. Maybe level 100 Gengar isn't a bad move after all.

BLJ in BoB = 6 really fast red coins.
Which ones? I'd "try it myself" but my controller is broken and my N64 is not around.

There are some complaints, and it seems the general attitude about the suicide is "cool, but slow". Hence, I have made a new version which I want to replace this movie.

I was working on an April Fool's day TAS of SM64. I won't reveal the gag, but it won't work with 1 star and I don't think it's possible to get 70 stars. Should I keep working on it? The goal used to be, "Fastest time without *censored*", but a 1-star run would destroy the point.

According to FCEU, it starts from reset. But I'll try the 0 rerecord count savestate thingy.

Microstorage says nothing is wrong with it. Here's the movie, if you can "fix" it somehow. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1031128206/River_City_Ransom_%28U%29.fcm

*cough* I notice that when I posted the idea, the general attitude was "do it yourself". Here, it's "Oh, sure, glad to". Google Video, BTW, has a privacy option.

That's like the old joke: Mary: I adopted a Chinese baby Lucy: You don't speak Chinese, how would it understand you Point being: You can't be born speaking a language. I wonder, a baby was born knowing Parseltongue, could the parents talk to the baby if they also spoke Parseltongue?

Get relapsed soon! There's a 3-word summary my feelings towards Bush. I laughed when I read Cheney became acting president while Bush had surgery. As opposed to behind-the-scenes president?
