About controller settings... I don't really know why I'm using 3 buttons instead of 6. About those sudden stops. At some points it's unavoidable. The character performs a small move with his hands. And since he's not that much of a hero he can't walk around and move his arms at the same time. It's that small animation for a few frames that causes those stops. I try to eleminate them when I can.

Hehe.. I redid the boss fight and guess what? For the entire level I shaved 1 second and 51 frames. Sounds good eh? =D Anyways. I don't think I will be doing any more today since I'm kinda drunk. Hehe. I beleive the sences needs to be sharp when making runs. Otherswise it will be "Hehe.. I just added one second and no one will ever notice. Bwahahah!". And I'm not too fond of that. Bwahahah. Cheers anyways.

Ok. Finished first boss now. I'm 51 frames faster than the current run. This is starting to look great. :D But it takes alot more planning and routing etc.

Well.. The skills will grow as you learn how to handle the emulator. I have made three runs so far. Two of them were serious attempts. Also I have played around alot with certein games and emulator in order to get the hang of it. The final product will hopefully be an entertaining movie. But it takes ALOT of time to put together. All you will need is patience and creativity.

Well.. I would say, as long as everybody can watch the runs without having to buy any special hardware (meaning I want a program that runs with windows to watch the movies) it should be ok and accepted as regular movies made with Windows, Linux or Mac compatible emulators.

Well.. I finaly started this run again. This time with advance key only. Last run was made with 20%-6% speed. Not too good accuracy there. Now I really get to think how to do it all. Very nice. Anyways.. Let's get down to data. Title screen is now ONE entire frame faster than before. HORRAY FOR THAT!! :D I have only played up to first boss, just beat the second miniboss (carterpillar). So far I'm 28 frames faster than current run. Which I think is good. I will probably be able to shave off a coupld of seconds from the old run. I have put up the new run if you wanna watch. Just click the link http://133an.sytes.net/~highness/MysticDefender(REV00)(JUE)V2-ByHighness(UpToFirstBoss).zip Oh. Things you might wanna take notice on. I'm now using Rev00 because of it's having a better ending. :D I'm not using the japanese version because he has clothes that looks silly, plus the story is longer and I hate to wait for action. Alot more bullshit. :) Also take notice while watching the scene with the carterpilar. I have to wait because the carterpillar is not hitable until the time switch 0:21:00. So thats why I sorta wait for him to get out a bit from the right. But I time it very good so that I smoke him away just as he turns hitable. :) Thats all for now. I think. Oh well. Yeah. One more thing. Jumps are alot more precise now, and I use a diffrent rout. Nothing special about it since it's as fast as the current, but I get to smoke more enemies this way, plus it's technically harder the new way. Hehe.. YAY for that. Oh well.. Go ahead and look. Some comments would be nice as well.

The game was kinda funny to make just because it's that of a boring nature and the collision check is horrid. :)

Hehe.. Allways fun to ask. Last x-mas I sat in a sheed with two friends (actually one of my friends are living in it) drinking beer like crazy. Probably the best x-mas ever. I'm thinking of something like that again. Either drinking beer with friends, or making another speed run. :D

It's not possible to shoot heat vision and punch at the same time. But with a couple of frames between each other it's possible.

Very good run I must say. You even showed places I didn't know about, and I have played this game ALOT in my days. I got nothing to complain about. But I feel that a discussion about early movie ending will take place again. :D It doesn't matter to me though, cous I'm not touching the keyboard while watching. And the outcome will not change unless someone fiddles with it. I voted YES on this how ever because I think it's very niceley played.
