Have you thought about running other Y's games? Y's III for the SNES could definitely use a good run here.
I enjoyed reading your comment, ars4326. I was thinking about doing a full run of this game or Ys III next. From the little I played, Ys I seems like a fun game and it might be a nice change of pace to TAS a 2D RPG. The unique method of attack in the Ys series could be fun to optimize too.

Also hard reset causes BizHawk to reboot the core? How often did that occur and how frustrating was it?
Around 10 times, I think. What's nice about it, though, was that the movie kept recording, despite the window going black and shrinking to 1x before switching back to 3x. It could have been an intended feature, like how BizHawk can record resets in movies.

Thanks for all the comments, everyone!

In the menu do you press Down, nothing, Down etc.? Have you tried using diagonals to scroll? Down+Left, Down, Down+Right or something like that.
I hadn't, but it's a good idea.
EDIT: I just tested it and it didn't seem to work. I don't think this game recognizes diagonal input, which is a shame, as it would've sped up the walking in the beginning.

Just loudly thinking.
On the bases of this, game end glitch would be appropriate to have for a branch.
There's also this one, which I noticed during the Awards. Does that mean it's okay for Vault runs to have that branch? It might not matter for this movie though, depending on where it gets published.

The easiest way to make the cat choose the meat you picked is to make a savestate beforehand and try different things (press different buttons, wait different amounts of time) before choosing the meat.
Once you get the result you want, make a save state. It might help to be recording a movie file at the time so you can have a record of your successful attempt once you get it.

Remember that you're only voting on the quality of his 4 SNES TASes for last year, notthoseruns for other consoles which were collaborative efforts.
That said, Masterjun did a great job breaking a bunch of SNES games last year, and he has my vote!

Masterjun was pretty much unbeatable this year, though I'm voting for solarplex and Mothrayas too due to all their entertaining and technically well-done runs.
The main reason why japanese version is slower: Bowser texts and 50 star door text takes more time to read, and japanese version lags a bit more when loading areas.

Thanks for providing an encode! I enjoyed watching that, and I appreciated the technical aspect of it a lot more after reading the submission text. It did move pretty slowly though; it took me a couple of minutes to realize it was the game lagging, and not my computer. It was also pretty repetitive, though there's nothing you could have done about that either. I think I'm going to go with Meh. Thanks for making this run anyway, it was interesting!

That was pretty impressive! I liked the precise-looking way you moved around, barely avoiding enemies and touching the boomerangs. That jammin' music sure makes the game feel more fun, too. Good job to both of you, yes vote.
