This looked pretty superhuman! I liked the route planning to get all of the items, the damage tricks and of course, klmz's big glitches. Yes vote!

Don't worry, it's not just you. I was surprised to see you land on the clouds too. We can't jump on clouds in real life, after all.

That was as technically solid as I hoped it would be, good work! It was pretty hard to listen to, though, and kind of boring to watch, so I'm going to vote Meh.

I watched this twice to try and decide whether my vote would be a Yes or Meh. I think there were just too many slow parts of the run, so I'll go with Meh. However, it was fun to see your ship keep getting faster engines and more powerful weapons leading up to that epic boss rush level. Thanks for making this run!

Very entertaining for the first few minutes, and a little less so afterward, but I kept watching until the end anyway. I think this could be consistently fast-paced and glitchy enough to become a Moon. Voting Yes!

Looks like that one file is in fact faulty, as it won't open in Dolphin either. Hope it didn't contain anything important.
The others open just fine now, and I was able to change a button press in my Anubis II TAS by changing 6 "A"s in a row to "B". Thank you!

Thanks in advance for providing that for us, Spikestuff.
It looks like the site doesn't have a "C64" System ID yet, which might be why it always chooses the wrong system (defaults to NES?) for your C64 runs. It seems to read the file's rerecord count and time and such just fine; it just doesn't recognize the title of the core given.

Here's MESHUGGAH's WIP of Level 1 from almost 3 months ago. It'd be nice to see the game beaten even faster than the new speedrun, if he's still interested.

I'm still looking forward to the submission. Judging by your WIPs, it should be at least as entertaining as the Sonic Adventure TAS (and that one won an award!).

I think the run can best be compared to Silver Surfer (in Spikestuff's link), where it doesn't matter if you shoot the enemies in the autoscrollers or not, as long as you destroy the bosses as fast as possible.

I can't seem to open any of my existing 4.0 and later DTMs, whether or not they use the Nunchuk. For most of them, I got a "Could not open...'capacity' must be greater than zero. Parameter name: capacity" error, but for one of them it was a "could not open...input stream does not match" error instead.
That looks cool! I hope it turns out faster than my input. Maybe it could also be used to skip some puzzles later on. And I don't mind.

Also, there's a screen of enemies right at the end of Omashu with Aang and Sokka where they can kill one less enemy than intended and still be able to scroll to the next section of the stage.

He said "your" because Spikestuff compressed the image further
Ah, okay, that makes even more sense. Is there any reason Spikestuff's Dragon Ball screenshot shouldn't replace the current one?

I haven't entirely given up on the idea of speed TASing off-stream, i.e. at the end of our block we announce the name of a game and a deadline to TAS it (like, a short deadline, around 4 hours), and then after the deadline just have an announcement on stream of the result, I can possibly talk the organizers into that, but it's a longshot and I have a lot of other things to get in place before I can even consider that.
Could you have someone read the announcement during the setup of inFamous: Festival of Blood (~4 hours later)? There won't be any speedruns happening during that 8-minute period and at least one person should be free (not setting something up) to read off the results.

BTW Spike, can you replace the old screenshot with your new one please?
NO. Because the game deliberately shows the screen like that during gameplay.

It sounds like both the old and new screenshots are compressed, and this one was compressed even better. The bolder colors and different skin tones look like an improvement too. I'm all for this one replacing the current Dragon Ball screenshot.
