I wasn't expecting much but I found that surprisingly entertaining. As long as you can keep some variety in the combat a full run should be worthwhile. How long would you estimate a TAS would be?
Probably about 35-45 mins, give or take

I wonder if doing the DS version would be better, because it has the flying sequences that the GBA version doesn't.
No, the flying stages are long, tedious, and interrupt the fast paced Double Dragon/Streets of Rage type gameplay

Looking great. Maybe to improve the time, it would be possible to abuse the long distance powers (pull enemy & throw object) ?
Yes, but keep in mind this is a speed/entertainment run so far. Using the same moves over and over again would be boring no?
Also I redid the 1st Boss (I felt it was lacking in the entertainment department) and did the next 2 levels:

Reviving this topic for interest in a new run.
I made a WIP myself:

If anyone else is interested here's what I think should be some parameters:
-Should be completed fast but also have entertainment tradeoffs
-Should upgrade Force Rage if using Anakin.
Thoughts?

YES YES YES! A Catch em all run of pokemon without those game breaking "beat pokemon in 3 minutes, ZZAZZ, etc" or whatever glitches! Definite yes vote from me
I especially liked how you aren't even 40 minutes into the game and you manged to catch A Rhydon incognito as a missingno, Lapras, and Mew

I'm not sure yet what to do with Bit and Byte; for now I think I'll keep both alive (which is fastest).
You should kill bit and byte so you can show off the junkyard boss(or whatever it is called) in the first Doppler stage for entertainment. Thats just my opinion however, you can do what you want.

I like the video, and also I will to make a TAS of Sonic 3 & Knuckles, without collecting rings
Maybe a lowest possible rings or minimalist run? There are numerous rings that are impassable, including at least 3 for sonic and/or tails at the BEGINNING of act 2 of angel island.
Oh and here's tails' no rings run if anyones interested: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnudTJRPvXk
(now that's what I call good quality)

I was playing around with S3k the other night and managed to beat Angel Island zone as Knuckles without collecting any rings. So I made a half-assed tas version of it to share. I'm aware there are zones in all of the Sonic genesis games where collecting rings is inevitable, but if anyone is interested,
Here it is:

Also I'm not saying I'm going to make a tas of this, this was purely for fun

Is it physically impossible to go through the door in the sky at the very beginning of the game? What I've tried is getting the magic door, then veggie on the head after going back through the door, then ladder warping at the 1st ladder to the top right corner of the very beginning, jumping with princess and throwing the veggie and hovering for a moment to land on it (As if i was on land) to open the door. Any input?
I also hacked the rom a few years ago. It just puts you back at the beginning of level.
Even though that's where the door is.

Is Hyper Bomb really the best weapon to use to defeat the second boss there? It has a really long delay between shots; if you had a weapon that fired "normally" (i.e. like most weapons do) and did even half the damage the bomb does, I bet it'd compare favorably.
I just tested every possible weapon that can damage him.
My best bet was Fire Storm. It does 3 damage as opposed to every other one (except H.Bomb which does 4) that does 2 or 1 damage.

Also, you got a few health pickups from enemies that wasted time.
The powerup dropping system is fucked in the wily wars. It is always the same.

(Lovin' this new embedding feature.)
The First enemy I used the Knuckle on (the one from MM2) takes so many damn shots to kill. The MM1 enemies are taken down with one Mega Buster Shot so I could have used a different weapon. I decided to take damage from it, pause-switch, then use metal blades until necessary.
The Weapon Choices at the moment are:
Rush Jet
Magnet Beam
Metal Blade
Crash Bomb
Fire Storm
Hard Knuckle
Quick Boomerang
Ice Slasher
Hyper Bomb
Bubble Lead
Elec Beam(One weapon will be dropped)
I will select all 10 at the beginning.

Here is Buster Rod.G
Sorry if it's a little half-assed but I wanted to get some progress on this game.
Here are some notes:
-I used a game genie code to access the Wily tower(ATNA-CAFG)
-Hitting an enemy while on Rush Jet increases your speed
-Making a short hop after you slide is faster than waiting 3-4 frames after sliding.

Frenom was right:
[Guts --> Elec --> Cut] is faster

Glitching is a fun way to go about doing things.
Oh and BTW selecting file 3 then hitting exit is faster than selecting file 1.

Here's some more Mega man 3.
I want to get through mega man wily wars soon so I might finish 3 off and then do all 3 in addition to the wily tower.
