Dimon: What are you talking about? For me, the description is only one or two paragraphs, and it loads fine on my mobile device. (Also, an encode has recently been added.)
I don't argue, it's fine now! When xipo submitted the movie, his description was a very long line and I needed to increase the page scale every time (I hope you don't need the details).
Description and encode providing was done by feos.

Pointless Story Time!
In a weird way, bla-bla-bla.....
There are no pointless actions in my TAS.
If I had a funny picture of a person that shoots himself in the head, I'd post it there!
On the first boss you throw punches in the air two times after the boss dies... is this avoidable? if it is, maybe it is a pointless action.
The normal walking speed makes this one a hard game to enjoy on TAS.
Sometimes you can see the "defense animation" happening, i wonder if it can be avoided completely.
"In TAS Editor we trust!" ( I can delete the excessive input if needed)
Given that TASVideos accepts boring runs, I can submit everything I want (within reason, of course).

Your basis for these claims are what exactly? Because it's quite easy to just tap a button and Youtube's encoding will miss it. And the author explicitly says nothing like that was used. But sure, I guess he was lying and just left other mistakes and missed presses for fun.
My question about the route is remained unanswered and, according to his Google+ and Youtube history, he never replied to any comments and I don't care if he really answered your question!
Compare our encodes! They are of course identical! He's just not carefully used the frame advance feature and "missing presses for fun" is bullshit.
Sorry if said rudely!

Probably someone else can fix this better than me, but that's what I got out of it.
Had to do a work around and change a bit to make sure that target practice was the same.
Thanks!

Was trying to fix this and to save some frames during the Walking Simulator up but when it to a bit of a desync at this fight:
Seeing the 2 fellows:
7703 - Fix (+Desync)
7706 - Original
Probably a few, minor input muckups in terms of optimality but still a very slow TAS to watch, Meh.
What exactly should I fix? I have checked my input on the stairs, no improves - I start moving at the frame 6431 anyway.

Are you supposed to be able to become invincible this often? It seems like that removes all of the difficulty of the run.
The time blocking is in effect is absurd. I'm guessing that they forgot to force the animation for the duration of it. Even in regular speed runs, it looks ridiculous.

This run is actually completed with the help of frame advance and slow motion. At least, frame advance was used for the fastest blocks as the encode doesn't show some of blocking animations (just interrupts).
If we watch this speedrun, which is completed in real time, we will see all the blocking animations because Fernando held the Select button more than 3 frames every time.

Re: slowing down, wouldn't it be better to space out your nitro boosts? Your speed gradually decreases after each boost (assuming the speed indicator is accurate), so you should get a higher average speed if you use a boost, let it return you to normal speed, then use the next boost. Instead you seem to be chaining boosts to stay at max speed continuously, which means you only get one deceleration period.
Wanted to write the same! +1

Well, I used to TAS a Nintendo NES version of Road Blasters using only slow motion and savestates.
Who wants to watch, the link is below.

Watching the movie, I think it would be entertaining a little if you kill the objects which are difficult to shoot while zigzaging left-right on the road (mechanics doesn't change from NES version, so you can zigzag without losing any time). But, by the end of each race, you should waste some rockets to decrease your multiplier :-)
Nevertheless, I found it boring. Meh vote, sorry!

I have a question about RamboBones' Doom 2 WR TAS. Which command/tool did he use as he was killing monsters while runstrafing without any turns? Was he turning extremely fast (I didn't notice this in the encode)? If it's not a cheat, why do it isn't used in the run?

Your run is great! Yes vote.

This topic was raised several times already! By the way, wanting 3DO, Atari Jaguar, Mobile Java games emulator and so on :-)
As I understood, it seems that no-one has free time on making rerecording tools because the game consoles we want are not enough popular or have not enough interesting games for TASing. I expect I'm wrong though there can be some problems with emulating games for N console, for example, for Sega Saturn, which is a good reason for not making the rerecording tools (who wants to make em if it doesn't work well).

As I understand, The Great Waldo Search was published just because it has speedruns. This game has no gameplay, no speedruns, no point for publication. No vote!
