Weatherton didn't fail. the TT WR for 3 laps is 1"44"44. Weatherton got 1"29"80.
He got a faster time than the real time record, but Fried is trying to point out that it can be still faster. it's a question of the precision..
No, that's not what I'm trying to point out. I'm not saying "it's cleaner than the WR but can still be faster". I'm saying "it's much worse than the TT WR." So yes, he did fail. I never said he failed to beat the TT WR, because he neither beat nor failed to beat it. You can't compare it directly because GP is different than TT, but you CAN compare the driving quality and say which one is cleaner.
I agree. Simply put, I have an eye for perfection in these kind of games, and that eye was twitching all over the place watching BB. I'm a viewer on this site, and this didn't impress me very much at all, so I voted no.
Apparently 15 other people weren't impressed, and a few only slightly, and I've seen movies rejected with much, much better ratios.
Oh, and, Andrew, you put TT in your post where I think you meant YV....
No vote. WAY too unoptimized and incomplete.
Comicalflop, to be blunt, if you don't finish your run, you're a damned fool. I, personally, wouldn't have been surprised by anything; I already know the potential for crazy abuse is there, so unless you did anything massively out of the ordinary, it wouldn't be anything to me.
However, seeing a perfectly optimized run on one of my favourite games would be so much better and enjoyable than simply a shortcut showoff. If you take all the tricks and shortcuts you've learned, and made them perfect, that would make my day so, so much more.
If you're really doing it to impress us, do what will actually impress us, and not what you want to impress us.
I don't see why not, to be honest. It would be easier for someone to spot out if someone is being ridiculous with voting. Hundreds of eyes are better than one. If you're not mature to handle someone's negative reviews, then that's their problem. I'm pretty sure most of us have enough maturity to handle this.
I've watched your WIPs before, but I can't get this one to work. It desyncs at the part where you select your cup; the selector scrolls down past Special Cup and to Mushroom Cup. What are the ROM settings/ROM file name?
"God" is the generally accepted catch-all word for a deity in the English language. I'm almost positive "God Hand" was not attempting to be blasphemous with his name; if he had called himself "Jesus Hand" or something, I can see it (though I still wouldn't agree).
Besides, isn't using the name of "God" in a worldly sense only blasphemous in Judaism? :)
Fabian: I don't think Bisqwit was being harsh at all in his posts.
Whaaaat o_o I could've sworn Toad and Koopa were the fastest. Apparently I got SMK back in the days before I read the manuals (...yeah, I did, I started reading manuals after I got Final Fantasy 8).
Am I confusing acceleration with top speed?
Yes. They accelerate the fastest but have the slowest top speed.
The greatest trick of all time is to strafe in doom to save time.
As an avid Doom player, I can honestly say this is my favourite too. Ever since, I've found myself running at a 45 degree angle in pretty much every FPS I play.
I recommend a re-record. If every other frame is indeed a dropped frame, then there is no excuse whether or not some people can view it. It should be fixed to a quality AVI.
If I play the video in anything but VLC, the video almost seems to run at around 200-300% speed, with the sound running at normal speed (obviously getting horribly desynched). If I seek, it goes to the right spot in the video, but the sound once again is way off and obviously just gets much worse as the video goes on. (for the record, in the sound, Mario isn't even in the castle yet, but in terms of video, Mario just got the "Blast Away The Wall" star in Whomp's Fortress.)
For the record, I have a 2.66 GHz P4 (an older one) on 768 MB of RAM.
Perhaps we should just use the default resolution. For the record, I've seen anime at 800x600 on pretty damn decent codecs that didn't stutter. Is H.264 really necessary?
Yeah. I am having the same problem as Xkeeper. It feels like the emulator was jumping randomly from 30 to 120 FPS while it was recording. Can we get a re-encode?
