A 2 player fight will definitely be more entertaining, but also has a very high chance of being slower (due to lag mechanics of this game).
Edit - I have been thinking about a few places where I might be able to leverage a second player for things like intentional deaths, but I'll work on 2p versions if/when I learn all the tricks for controlling two players at once
No-one wants to watch a slideshow.
You have to buy a gaming keyboard that reads input from at least 6 buttons pressed at once.
To make a 2P TAS, you have to use TAS editor where you can choose which buttons to press per each frame and see the result without playing back the whole movie. It requires NO sophistication from you. Arcade emulators doesn't have it for now =(

Does the existence of weapon itself on screen cause lag?
Will throwing it off screen cause lag in next fight?
Does walking back and forth waste even more time (barrels, boulders)
Probably, but weapons usually lie and are not as big as humans. You won't have time to throw them away.

Here it is:
[2634] Genesis Double Dragon "1 player" by Dimon12321 in 03:17.47
Also, editors, please replace the NES version link at the description with Alyosha's TAS!
I have doubts about combat being optimized. Oh, I'm kidding - it's not optimized! You should have found out which weapons deal high damages before TASing it. The best way to do so is to find useful addresses in RAM.
Here are some info about SEGA Genesis version: Thread #7260: Double Dragon
I don't know whether Arcade version has different moves/weapons as best ones, but it should be.
Medium diffuculty is deprecated here. You have to TAS the game on either Easy or Hard, which one make the TAS more eintertaining.
Voting no, however your TAS is still good for a newcomer!

Wow! That's how a TAS should look like.
Is there any point in grabbing stars, skulls and shields? I don't mind of this: ignoring them won't save even a second, but they just give you some score. Am I wrong?
Anyway, I definitely found it entertaining. Yes vote!

I was looking for a RoboCop 2 TAS, but my dreams are expired already.
I didn't expect someone else will tear this game, but the objective is a little inappropriate for this game. 100% in a game that gives you a set of enemies? No damage? Well, it's a little challenging for SNES version where RoboCop is not so fast comparing to Genesis, but who will enjoy this challenge? Not me!
Heavy CPU manipulations? How heavy are they? Heavier than manipulating high damage? I don't know all the AI details about SNES version, but AI is enough predictable in Genesis version. Standing enemies shoot rapidly (if spawned), running enemies run/go until their "time" is over than shoot, if they get enough close to RoboCop, they don't wait for "time" to over. It's just possible to manipulate a high "time" and delay enemy's shot by losing frames. That's all in outline.
The run is slow and boring! Voting no.

That was another door trick or the game is lagging? ))
According to time tables, you managed to complete the whole game in 11 minutes 30 seconds (IGT) which is 13 minutes 8 seconds faster than Kimo's segmented WR, which is completed in 24 minutes 38 seconds.
You did a wonderful work! Pedestal of the Spear of Destiny will break down if you decide to PWN it))
Hey, encoder! Why don't you make the encode including all episodes? That worth it!

If I'm not mistaken, it's the 27th submission of SMB that will be rejected soon. SMB is 32 years old, so let 5 more rejects and pay respect to our favourite game...

Welcome to our small community! Programmers are essentional in our hobby. We still don't have rerecording emulators for 3DO, Atari Jaguar, Java Mobile game platform and so on.
BTW, participate in development of Hourglass-Resurrection
http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=14959
This "emulator" will bring us the ability to TAS Windows single-thread games with mouse support. Everyone looks forward to it!

Everything is OK with Sega Saturn core?
BIOS of USA 1.00 is compatible with all other BIOSes (Eu and Jap). I remember it wasn't in earlier versions.
Which SS ROM formats are compatible with Bizhawk? I'm trying to play .mdf and .mds, but emulator says "This Rom was not found in the database. ...". After I choose Sega Saturn, I get the following error:
where "Данный ключ отсутствует в словаре" means something like "The following key is absent at the dictionary"
