If I could find a way to skip Launchpad it would save 4 frames, assuming I can do it immediately with no windup. I gained about a second over Genisto in the first level. (Hard to tell because it's in Famitasia) And I have no ideas about speeding up anything else. I was even forced to manipulate the Transylvania boss in what seemed like the exact same way (3 frames of waiting for me). If anyone actually wants to see it I'll continue. But don't get too excited about it. Nothing game breaking, or even original really.

I went to the end of level 3. But I was unable to find any time savers in 2 or 3. So, I'm abandoning this unless someone really wants to see it. All it will wind up being is a rehash of Genisto's run with a faster 1st level, and less wobbling.

Angerfist its called the "%20" trick.. or whatever.. just add %20 instead of spaces ( like omni did )
Note: Don't change the name of the file on the server, or rather it's not necessary to. All webbrowsers read %x as a character of hex value x. 20 is the hex value of a space. This allows browsers to navigate to and display suitably f*cked up names involving carriage returns and nulls in theory. Another way of making it link is to wrap it in BBCode or HTML.

@Angerfist: Next time try to use urls without spaces in them. Spaces in filenames make the baby Darwin cry. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/54/Mega%20Man%204%20(U).fcm

I saw a speedrun the other day which skipped grabbing Launch Pad altogether. I think. I'll check when I get home. Does it speed it up somehow?
It may or may not, I was unable to skip Launchpad. My longest Pogo wasn't long enough. I might be missing a trick.

Because Donkey Kong is a long game and I hate the vines in world 4 with a passion, I figured I'd try something quick and easy. http://www.nerdparadise.com/crap/Omni/DuckTales-Omni.fcm First level complete around a second quicker than Genisto's published video. AFAICT most of the gains came from using the vines to speed myself up in a Rockman-esque fashion, and better Launchpad grab.

It's because "they" were watching you. And then "they" lost interest.

Not really, it's probably based on digital signatures.

OK, I've actually watched the run now, and I have to vote no, because it wasn't precise enough. It just didn't have a polished feel, especially the parts where you were doing the "syncronized swimming" part you clearly weren't doing it as quickly as possible. And there were definately places where you stopped to separate the characters for no good reason. You didn't utilize the mine carts to there fullest. Etc. It's ok, but it suffers from the death of one thousand cuts.

No, he's suggesting you do a two player run that meets or exceeds the quality of the already published one player run. And also, keep away from the lag.

Meh, he said he had a crapload of bandwidth to spare, I think it's something with the phpBBmod script, hosting from my own server now.

While I'm flattered that you choice my run over flag's, I don't think my run deserves a star, and I'd rather see the star over flag's complete run instead.

The Sega Saturn spec is all fucked up, and it's terribly difficult to emulate; on the other hand, Sega learned from it's mistake and made the Dreamcast easier to develop for, making it also easier to emulate.

umm... 200 rerecords, and you couldn't use an extra one to stop the movie at the right time? And you stopped it 12 seconds late? At the speeds that you should be playing that's well over a minute. Did you use slowdown? What about frame advance?
