As promised, here's a continuation of the previous WIP.
The main improvements from the rejected run include:
* Different Egg order
* Doesn't Auto-fire during the canoeing stage
* Takes advantage of the fact that the boss takes only 31 HITS to kill; type of bullet doesn't matter
* Takes advantage of the bullet spawn during boss.
So far, 1316 frames(00:21.93s) ahead.
Been awhile since your last update. How has this been going sir?
It's very annoying TASing this game. Sometimes, an "improvement" somehow causes a room several minutes later to lag ~13 more frames more/less. This sometimes affects the position of enemies. While most enemies don't bother me much, certain enemies like the clowns have to be very precise, or it'll desync.
Edit: I'll make a list of places that require luck.
Here's how to edit the run:
1. Drag the movie to the emulator while "All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. " is running.
2. A fcm2 file or something like that will appear in the folder that contains either movies, or the fcm file.
3. Open up notepad.
4. Drag the fcm2 file to notepad.
5. Edit your run. Remeber to save!
Yeah, that WIP hints at frame perfection (& great rerecord count comparing to this submission), but it isn't finished. While here we actually have the fastest game completion so far.
Uh...did you even watch my WIP? While I'm only 55 frames faster by the end of the first section, I'm 405 frames ahead by the end of stage 1. =/
Despite this low rerecord counter the run looks cool.
You just gave me an idea.
Edit: I found it! A lost WIP from my old computer. It is faster than this movie by 55 frames by the time I enter the first room. WIP
Sorry! No vote.
Aren't you supposed to use the default difficulty for a TAS? Of course there's still several game modes to pick from.
I would love to see this, but I'm having some difficulty envisioning a goal for this endless game.
Very nice. If I could vote, I'd vote yes. :)
Would someone please explain why Mario sometimes touches the flagpole at more than the minimum height? Wouldn't this cost time to wait for him to slide down?
It shouldn't matter, due to the flag has to go down anyway.
I think.
For those who don't know, the boss can only take through customised forms of these 13 "skeletons". Some work would have to be put on finding out what exactly triggers each evolution.
Well, I always thought a 100%, any%, and possibly a special run was enough. So yea, this I think should obsolete the warped walkathon, as it shows off more of the game.
I'm planning to make a playthrough of this game and study tactics FAQS....I am planning to TAS the fan translation patch and don't care if it gets rejected, I'm tired of that rule and if no one else wants to TAS the english version, I'll do it.
YES! Your attitude is amazing. :D TASvideos' publication nonsense should not influence what TASers TAS.
If someone then suddenly submits the (J) version after the fan hack was somehow published, there is most likely going to have another pointless, community-splitting flame war debate again. (See: previous OoT run for what I mean by "debate")
Will vote after I'm done watching.
Edit: I suddenly need to go, but from what I watched, its certainly different from the normal warpless run (other than not running of course). It was entertaining so far, so I'll vote yes.
Oh, and nice use of glitches! :)
It's not just about the bugs. It's that translated runs, from a source I've read somewhere that I can't find atm, things like rng gets affected due to difference in text speed, menus, and possibly lag. That means you can't compare the hack with the original run. So if a hack were to be published, and the original exist, you can't have them obsolete one another.
No offense to Japanese players....but who wants to TAS the original if no one can understand it anyways?
But in a TAS, the point isn't to understand the text. I rather watch a "Let's Play" video to understand the plot than to watch an rpg TAS, as all I can see is text appearing for like 1 second before dissappearing.
I'd be fine with not having it obsoleted. I consider them different games anyways, to me Seiken Densetsu 3 translated is the USA version of the game :).
TASing one game takes alot of effort. If translations were allowed, most likely, noone would bother TASing the original. =/
