Please name this one Gran Turismo 2 as the first title already exists. We shouldn't be mixing these two racing sims up due to the differences they have.

Is the fact that the input itself contains RTA input in it.
And this is the part where I call it out. Now excuse the numbers for not being accurate cause this is snes9x vs BizHawk. The very first input after regaining control after the ship up and Poseidon's itself is 2/3 frames slower than it should be. Using the classic TAS Movie Editor at 6109 onwards for that little segment of mashing B and removing 2 frames I was able to get in the door obviously 2 frames earlier with your input. This leads to everything can be adjusted in TAS Movie Editor. But here's the thing, time is valuable so we're just going to compare to the BizHawk movie I provided even though there isn't any major differences that'll be in play besides probably a frame that separates the two. The next sequence after getting out of that room is another 2 jumps, your timing of the jumps leaves you about 15 frames behind that userfile, is this because of your mashing you left behind again? I don't have any comments on the death abuse, cause I did it slower so eh on that one. (take notes whoever is actually using my file to fix that) You can skip the "Lose 5 Minutes" screen. You fail to do this. You have me beat on the respawn and climb there (again notes), however you lose to my input in the second half of that climb. That's where my input ends, so after that it's up in the air. However, for a relatively short movie this does leave behind quite a few mistakes especially against my now joke of a userfile after comparing to your input. The biggest stand out is you not skipping the "Lose 5 Minutes" screen and instead letting it go through.

So not sure why they weren't linked here.
Sometimes. The Publisher forgets to put something like commentary in the description. And for the Publisher's defence it doesn't help that the commentated version is just a one word link rather than bold text or a more than one word link or an embedded video. (It's also preferable that the commentary is on YouTube rather than Twitch as some people are unable to watch content on Twitch.) (And that the commentary matched the latest update rather than a revision behind)

1-1 1131 frames from start up
Those numbers unfortunately don't add up. Especially if you entered the pipe at frame 669. The only way these numbers would make a lick of sense is if you're playing PAL version of the game, or PAL on NTSC which is the incorrect rate for the game. We enjoy your enthusiasm to the game but please take your time to look at the Game Resources for Super Mario Bros. to further understand the game. And please use the edit feature for your posts instead of continuously making new ones as this isn't a public chat, this is a forum.

To be more precise with the Firmware Window it's actually this: Been talking with the author another thing that was changed was the Sound Settings: If 100 Volume doesn't work, I suggest trying 4 as that's what the author has provided as screenshots to me. I'm about to find out myself if that last bit of information is irrelevant, I will edit my post accordingly. Edit: And we have sync.

You know, I asked that back in June 2018. It is part of a milestone update but even that's just a "we'll do it... eventually." That and PlayStation honestly need the updates. Saturnus is a Waterbox core which from what I was told way back was only one person can maintain it. Compared to PlayStation (for example sake) basically as long as you can do a pull request anyone can do it.

This comment applies to the Samurai Showdown Submission as well. Seeing as Ninja-kun wasn't responding to the comments on the forums for some reason I decided to make a comment on their YouTube informing them to have a look at what we're writing. Well to be exact I wrote:

On the terms of IGT vs TAStime I personally lean more towards the IGT TAS over the TAStime since well... being a valid goal and all. I personally enjoy going for pushing the game's time to as low as possible. It doesn't really change from a Yes Vote to a Yes Vote. But the extra shimmy that goes through the IGT version definitely does edge it more for me.

Simple. We're in a parallel universe where TASeditor didn't actually do any of these things and is just being damned on them on the spot for no legitimate reasons that we're seeing this top quality string pulling going on.

This movie just reminds me of actual logic that fighting speedrunners would do by doing the backups as it's a pain to execute the fastest method, something we do.
If this is not a playaround this movie is then slower than the current publication. Don't really have to write this, but Abstaining from voting this time around.

This "conversation" ended a few posts ago and we've reached nitpicking to hell. I like to point out, that even though you didn't respond to my post (which was fine as I did mention you can skip it) you have indirectly answered it with the following posts after my comment. This thread has pretty much run it's course as you've dragged it into the ground.

xipo just a dumb question. You can choose to answer it or not. Is the reason why you created the false damning narrative and evidence is because you were trying to make an improvement on this movie but couldn't, and then decided to bump a 3 year old thread with this claim?

For the need to be informed. The improvement in the death abuse to make the ship turn over faster. However, what stands out to me in the input... besides the fact that it's snes9x (which is allowed) is the fact that the input itself contains RTA input in it. Link to video I did attempt at making it to BizHawk but gave up and truncated input back to where I think it's best for whoever to pick up from. That usefile can be found here: 59899626961255060

Just as a matter of curiosity, do you happen to have an NTSC version of this TAS?

This movie is getting a Meh vote from me, speed fighters aren't entertaining most of the time. However I don't think your run should be published because of decisions that were chosen.

What current publication? There is a WIP that doesn't complete the game.
You love selective reading. Here's the full quote, emphasis mine cause apparently you failed to read a word in that quote.

Current Publication: [4060] SNES Top Gear 2 "all tracks" by Technickle in 2:23:40.99 The same publication that has been referenced. The same publication that has been as a comparator because the author has done decisions that haven't been explained yet. As for the two other comments you made, it just falls under the same point that I've already written, so it's not worth repeating myself.

Hey electricslide general question. Do you actually have any proper opinions on something or do you just enjoy turning every thread you enter into a large massive train-wreck or a burning building? Or in this case are you actually trying to use a current trend aka "Ok Boomer" to someone who is actually younger than the demographic it belongs to because you can't think of an actual retort and you want to, well let's keep it simple, be a person who strives for some attention no matter what you do? You still have posts that you need to get back to over at Top Gear 2 for instance where EZGames69, Memory and myself are waiting for an actually sane, non-asshole response from you. And I'm just going to remind you right now, if you choose not to look at the comments left at Top Gear 2, cause mine's particularly important as it brings up site rules in Post Content.
All posts and messages must remain civilized. Posts and messages that are or become uncivil are not allowed. The extent of civility (or lack thereof) is determined both by situation and by moderator opinion. Moderators may lock topics that become uncivil. Moderators may also edit or delete offensive posts. Disruptive posting is not allowed. This includes spamming, making multiple useless topics or posts, or repeatedly going off-topic in a topical thread. In extreme cases, disruptive members will be banned.
This is your 6th offense in the year, we haven't reached the point in December where the number would actually go down. (My post in Top Gear 2 summarizes all of the offenses.) No matter what your response is to me. You have absolutely no ground and I'm surprised you haven't been warned, or banned yet due to how insanely rude you are to other users. We literally had a user who was banned for being an intolerable bullying twat this year, and I'm sure there's going to be room for you there. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To summarize multiple posts electricslide has done as a single quote. I couldn't come up with an argument so I'm just gonna personally insult you.
