I'm actually surprised we did not have this in the Gamecube section... There was something similar in the PS2 section but it wasn't really specific with the stuff (so not asking for that forum to be moved here). Crash: WoC would be a hard one to TAS especially with the movements, I wish I had better insight with a few other things, I hope those who have a bit more knowledge than me can show up here.

Only just looked into this. Compared to the other NES Tetris is there anyway to manipulate the pieces to get a better order and a faster time? If that isn't so congratulations on the TAS you created, it was fairly entertaining. I do understand the rules of 30 lines, it's now known as 40 lines in the modern versions.

Regardless of the optimization level, I don't think this is a good enough game choice to be published here. It's too short, with too few chances for actual input (similar to the problem with the recently rejected Super Road Blaster submission), which also makes it too similar to a real-time speedrun as Radiant noted. No vote.
I say a speedrun would be around 2 mins (due to longer typing and other). TASEditor proved with hexing it can be done at 1:15. Basically it's at the acceptable level of Bishi Bashi and Salary Man but at the lower level of You Have to Burn the Rope. Superhuman but only 1 level so it becomes somewhat... eh.

Haha, that's cool. I understand. BTW, off-topic, but how do you adjust your profile settings to have multiple avatars, to reflect different moods? It's a cool feature, but I can't find any way to adjust it in my settings.
Yeah, I rather submit something that's worth submitting then something we are going to question about. 350 Posts

Oh, I know lol. Any plans to submit that one, or are you subtly telling mr_eeh to 'step his game up' :D
Oh hell NO, no way I'm submitting this. TASEditor has the optimal time, ask him. and yet again I'm showing proof due to the text length and how sudden the input can be.

Wait a sec. Are we now voting on Spikestuff's improved run, or mr_eeh's (now apparently obsoleted) submission?
I was proving that it can be obsoleted very easily. Then TASEditor decided to add to join in. In other words it's quite obvious we are voting on eeh's run.

Isn't there a program which disables keyboard limitation?
How would it do that? Magically remove hardware limitations of your keyboard?
It automatically detects buttons you try to press simultaneously but aren't registered by using the webcam to track your fingers, then finds and orders a better keyboard for you from amazon.
for me I was doing s-h-ade-s as input and I remember seeing that was a program which removed the keyboard limit... forgot the name though... and it actually worked.

TAS of this pls. I'm up to do this but not alone... whatever no one'll reads this. :)
Nope. Introducing PAST ME. Also we can see your small text when we hit quote... or drag into a search bar (or other). Got4n the Crash Warped movement is a bit crazy and you have to do it in analog to get the fastest movement (see pirohiko's comparison in Crash 2 forums). Hence why we are all waiting on Playstation to be added to Bizhawk.

I have completed my TAS faster than this. 01:16.0 is the time. (Half-assed + Half-awake still un-optimal) 246 Rerecords. Link to video Eh, might as well add mine now since TASEditor improved on it: User movie #14004487415018093 Then again, I don't care.

Go back over what you did. The ending should be this: "I should be able to float now I think!" LEFT. -end input- "You win" you continue. "You win" LEFT "Okay!" Edit: Voting NO. Why? Unoptimal. at "use elevator" you can just have "up" and going "down" Edit 2 (THE ROUTE): = START = - flip switch - r ENTER - u - l - get shades - r ENTER - get elevator - use shades - use elevator - l ENTER ENTER = DONE =

Minus the one issue with the url*. Yes, I agree. *The url should have "karnov-tas-adelikat" not "AdelikatNESKarnov" (I had a look the url is open)

Error: not enough grammar.
Yea that's the issue of trying to prove a point so late at night that the points don't appear as you want it. I'll try and paraphrase
    - Branch with "No Esc" - Next run to obsolete - Uses Esc to save all crew and skip stuff - Uh.....
Another way of looking at it is like how we have the 1 and 2player TASes. When one is faster than the other the slower one will mention how many players. *yawns* Lets see... Uh the point, the point, right... So calling something "No Esc" and then having a run obsolete it with Escape would put us back where we started trying to figure out a proper branch name. Note: This is all in theory.

"No ESC" is simple, concise and correct.
I beg to differ... feos' point on the branch name was quite clear. Heck I even agree with his 1 word response to the naming of the non-glitched TAS (Note: I'm writing non-glitched here because it's easier to mention what it was originally known to be on TASVideos).
feos wrote:
wut
If someone want to figure out what I wrote go nuts. Note: It's against "No ESC" as a branch.
(man I love my notes)
Anyways branching it as "No ESC" should be a 2nd last resort and "No Storage" is our last resort.
Anyways I'm going to sleep.

What makes it not properly defined?
Basically it's saying a function which it's not doing and for another run it doesn't mean that it could be used next time to obsolete. It's easier using something that would make more sense by having a better meaning to the branch then going "No Esc". It's much harder to clarify a branch name nowadays because we removed "glitched" branch which made it much easier to place certain runs. An offender to this is Crash 2, we now have the any% run titled "no box glitch" you would only understand this if you play or have an understanding of Crash 2. To note: the original branch name to that was "no memory corruption" So in other words we need to cater the viewer (who has minimum knowledge on that game) a branch name that is sensible and understandable.

"no ESC" sounds silly and doesn't define it properly. Maybe: "no storage", "no wrong warp", "all crew" *shrugs* HEY IT'S BETTER THAN "NO ESC"! With the branch it's similar to SMW "11 Exits"? (Aka doesn't make sense, like me...) There is a better branch name for it (old one) but I cannot recall what it is...

The lua script has to be launch as soon as the game start before the piracy warning. But it still is memory editing so the TAS won't be submittable here. EDIT : American version works like a charm but in the PAL version, the platform never goes up so I'm stuck at the beginning of the level.
Ech, that's a bit of a shame x2 (including the edit) Thank you for creating the lua for it.
