I'd be really impressed if you figured out a way to 100% the game.
I think that the colloquial definition of 100% for SSSV is "everything except for that one trophy," so prepare to be underwhelmed.

Really great skips. Would love to see a 100% attempt with this approach. Yes.

I think private ratings are for pussies. If I dislike your movie I’ll rate it 1 and tell you you’re stupid.
Yo I don't submit things here anymore but if you want to just PM me that I'm stupid that would be OK with me.

Why not a slider-like meter that displays the numerical value of your rating (even the decimals) sort of in the way the 5-star system works.
The current system is already a dropdown numerical value. I don't know what you're getting at unless you somehow have a different rating process.

How do you know this is true? I didn't stop rating because of that. Most people never even start rating movies, because the possibility to rate is hidden. IMDb has a masterful design saying "Your rating: **********" right next to the cover image of the movie even though you are not logged in.
I'm not saying it applies to everyone, but there was a definite heyday for rankings a few years ago that dropped off for the reasons mentioned. The best example I can give was when someone confronted me about a below average entertainment rating I gave for a pretty boring RPG run (I want to say Phantasy Star but I couldn't find the posts so whatever). I was accused of being biased against the genre/console and of having never even played the games, or else I would have appreciated the run. Also, let's not forget the absolute tantrum that Phil threw when Combat Tribes started getting terrible feedback and ratings. IRC was a hot mess about that and Bisqwit had to step in to curtail Phil's attitude. There was also a guy who would always give 10/10 ratings on all movies coming through. Can't remember the name, but he always ended his posts with something like "tanks for all!" When a few of us pointed this out, we were told that ratings were subjective and, to a point, would be diluted by people doing this. It seems like a lot of people believe that ratings should trend for an average of something like 9 rather than 5, even though the scales are supposed to be indicative of relative value. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to look at the movies I have rated, so I can't give better examples. I used to rate every movie that was published but realized that it wasn't worth the hassle of having to defend low ratings for bad movies. Keeping ratings private seems counter-intuitive, although it might be more applicable now that the userbase for this site has expanded so much. That being said, feel free to keep up rating movies if you want. In the long run, it's too easy to believe that the ratings per movie aren't entirely indicative of how good the runs actually are and that people really aren't voting on them because they're really irrelevant aside from curation.

People stopped rating movies a while ago when it was apparent that people took low ratings personally and when it was apparent that some people were giving every movie top marks across the board, possibly in the hopes that others would return the favor on their own publications.

Are you going to select a game that has simple movement mechanics?

There is actually a pretty big PM chain dedicated entirely to talking about you and only you, TAG. Oh, if only you could read the comments that have been made about you... whoever you are.

I'll explain why I don't like your checking. You still do not account for the load times between the different versions of Dolphin instead you leave the load times in and say that it's good enough to show differences. I'm going to wait on your submission so I can actually go through this properly like my older posts.
Is there an argument to be made against start frame to end frame per level?

Voting No on that distracting overlay on the side of the encode. Just terrible. The run, however, was pretty good.

This is worth coming back to. Are you sure that dashing across the river in Forest 1 was faster than just hovering? Could you have manipulated Flame Lord to release more birds instead of dashing? Seems like two dashes is bad RNG. Is there a reason you didn't just use Air Crest during Ice 1? Same with Ice 2, seems like you could reduce lag caused by the skull guys. Why use Armor relic against Crawler? Where did you find such quality taste in forum avatars? Easy Yes from me. Great improvement, found a way to incorporate a lot of items and tactics, etc etc.

Assuming you're talking about the normal level's door, does this activate the explosion sequence on the ship?

This should have been 11.20 seconds slower. Ugh.

Lurked for a very long time, finally registered about 10 years ago to chat about a possible Demon's Crest "timeattack." It's been terrible ever since.

Photobucket is sempiternal. Also, I don't feel like transferring my avatars for a forum I barely use over to the bandwidth I pay for.

What happens if you walk back up the stairs and load the previous room? Or is that not possible?
