For comparison, what if someone submitted a run of A Link to the Past that uses the mirror glitch (use the Magic Mirror when jumping off a ledge) instead of walking through the stairs, in order to reach the Triforce room and skip most dungeons and final Ganon? Would that obsolete the full-game run, simply because it didn't activate the game-breaking skip in the same manner?
I'm fine with the old pixel trick in the new runs. But the new pixel trick just sucks to look at. We want entertaining movies, not dull-looking and annoying ones... There is so much you can do gameplay wise in SML2, so it's stupid to be restricted to bunny hopping. Honestly, I will vote meh or no on a movie that uses the new pixel trick in a full game run.
You know what will be sad? A run that is highly optimized, but doesn't use the pixel trick, gets obsoleted by an unoptimized run that does. =/
I really wish this obsoletion could be reverted, because it's just wrong in my opinion.
How about Art Academy?
The better run I'm working on is nearing completion
I'm trying to come up with a cool or funny title for the movie now, but I have no ideas for that. Could somebody help me?
I voted yes because this run is quite entertaining. In my opinion, "no Side-BLJs" is a less arbitrary goal than "no sword except against Ganon" or "kills no enemies except bosses". While the 16-Star goal might have never existed if the 1 Star route had been found first, it's still historically relevant and popular as a route.
What are you talking about? I've been TASIng the (UE) version of Wario Land 4 on VBA 23.4 for a long time.
I think the new pixel trick (jumping as much as possible) should not be used for any% or 100% since it takes too much fun out of the runs.
getting back to the important point, can someone make me a Christmas gift and encode that movie? :P
Maybe I will try to do the driving scenes. Please give me your latest movie and I will take a look at it.
Although this run doesn't use save game corruption, it's still fairly heavily glitched - notably, getting to the hall of fame seems to use a trick fairly similar in nature to what's ultimately used in the Yellow run. While I can appreciate the desire of a run to reach the end of the game as quickly as possible, do we really need three runs of the various versions of the first generation, each demonstrating various glitches to get to the end of the game? Granted, this run is significantly longer and demonstrates quite a few other glitches at this point, but I think we should think very carefully as to how far we should go in this respect.
This submission improves primo's Blue run under the same conditions by 37 minutes and 55.9 seconds. As far as speedrunning is concerned, Red, Blue and Yellow versions of this game are considered the same game. There's no reason to prefer the Red version, I chose it mainly because of my personal preferences. All movies faster than this submission done in any version under the same conditions should obsolete it.
Hmm... By the looks of this, a glitchless run and a glitchful run would be pretty different from each other.
