Caught it when it was uploaded but never noticed it was on the forums. Great stuff!
Here's a WIP of a run I'm making. For some reason userfiles won't accept it.

Obviously what I thought was fairly optimized turns out it wasn't. I actually spent a good amount of time on this but obviously I missed some things. This was actually my third time making it and I thought I had figured it out but Spike shows that there's obviously more work to do. I'm going to go ahead and get this cancelled and post an updated version later.

Found the title amusing enough to give the game a shot. Very old school game in the vein of Karate and Yei Aire Kung Fu. Has a couple of good movement tricks for easy optimization.

Also, it features the single greatest boos ever: JOHNATHAN - THE FLOATING PAIR OF BRIGHT PURPLE SWEAT PANTS!

The greatest game you've never played. In short, it's a budget title released in Europe and bootlegged to some parts of the US and Asia. The GBA version seems a bit better due to the fact the music is varied a bit more and there isn't any loading times.

You must have pulled off some black magic just to get the damn game to work properly in FBA. I'm not very familiar with KOF but this was a good watch, but I feel like there were some things that could have been done to improve the TAS as a whole.

Glad to see you came over from the YT comments.
Put it into xp sp3 mode and doesn't really make a difference other than sometimes states load a bit faster. Replaying with other versions doesn't seem to matter either. Maybe I'm just super unlucky.

I don't intend to. I just used it to make sure that Dolphin wouldn't fuck up on me again after talking to some of the IRC guys.
Trust me if you play the cat racing minigame you'll understand just how TAS'd that really is. Worst driving in any game ever. Also, I'll look into it, thank you for the link! I am going for a no skips run though, as most single player runs abuse major map skips. (Skipping Deer Haunter and most of 1994 for example)

So now that I've gotten Dolphin to work I've decided to revisit one of my favorite games of all time. It's a fairly linear game, with plenty of action and tons of weird challenges with varied gameplay to mess around with. As a proof of concept I went ahead and recorded the "Pussy Racing" challenges before going through the main game.

Right, well obviously you guys dislike the sound glitch. I figured that due to the frame saves and the smoother gameplay it would be preferred but obviously I was wrong. I'll make sure to not repeat the same mistake down the road.

The fact that there's no music would be the most obvious. That and on the final race I deliberately wreck and run across the finish line to in rather than race properly.
edit: Went ahead and removed / cleaned up some of the desc info at the advice of some of the IRC guys.
