Hmm, a tough one. I'm not a fan of no-damage runs, and I think you could be more reckless in this aspect of the gameplay, such as killing enemies at the last possible frame or taking damage to save time (please correct me if there are no known ways to do this in this game, although it seems highly improbable). You can also pickup additional shurikens (at least I think so) and dispose of some of the enemies (mostly those who spawn behind you, such as in the bridge level) without turning around and slowdowns. Also, can you use your ninjitsus more extensive? Can any of them save a few frames at bosses? Still, your style is good and I believe you can run this game frame perfect, providing it is indeed not so hard cause the physics are quite simple here, and no serious luck manipulation is involved. Good luck. As for this run, it really is nice, but it also spots some obvious (albeit very small) improvements, such as the aforementioned slowdowns. Make this as fast as possible without any unneeded slowdown, clean the known errors, and it will surely get published. As for now, a meh from me.

Yeah, "weird" really is a rather exact description of this game (other than "a nice Megaman clone"). The run itself is of top quality. Haven't seen Walker's run, but this surely is a yes.

That ARC pre-dataroom single-wall walljump surely was something especially nice to see, keep it up. :)

For some unknown reasons, I can only find european TCSC and "Splinter Cell (U) (M3)" ROMs, both of which desync at the beginning. Oh well. Gotta stick with AVIs then.

Ugh, that's a lot… Maybe it would really be better to redo it then… Though, it looks rather normal (I couldn't tell it may be improved by that much; on the other hand, I'm not so familiar with Fusion as much as with M1 or SM).

Improvable by how much? 10—20 frames, a second, or more?

I definitely like what you've done so far, and I also like both parts of the game, so by any means, please continue. :)

Moozooh, haven't seen you on IRC for a while. How are things going?
Basically, I was writing two extremely boring term papers for the last ~month, and I promised myself not to return until I finish them (otherwise it would be absolutely impossible for me to finish them before beginning of the next term). That, and I've found myself to be hard drinking a whole lot of yet unseen anime I've got, so that is another reason I'm not doing anything nor show up recently (although I do check forums from time to time). Not sure which of them is a bigger reason for my absence. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. I'll return very very soon though.

The game get +100 points for best walking animation ever. The run is OK, nothing outstanding, though (yeah, I kinda second xebra's point here). Still, it's a yes!

Well, that's not really a problem — for example, Castlevania is pretty much the same.

Also, Ryu Hayabusa is hiding in there somewhere, but don't waste your time looking for him, because he is a ninja and you cannot see him.
He's probably busy blowing up another hellish structure located on a remote island no-one knows about. Also, where's Pac-Man? EDIT: Looks like Belmont family is absent, too. EDIT2: http://4colorrebellion.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=70 Guess this is where the image above originates from.

Bastards. I knew there was something wrong with them. Then the answer to the WWDD question would be: "He'd split the d-pad".

OTOH data could just push the two directions hard enough to break the control pad into independently pushable buttons and go from there.
He doesn't even need to do that to the original PS controller. Let's pretend this is his controller of choice.

Whoa. This is one very STRANGE game. It is the only game I know that combines and alternates four different genres. And it probably is the game with the coolest player character as well. He is so cool that he doesn't even run. Let everyone else run if they want, he clearly is above that! Although your work is good and the game itself is wacky up to the point of being ridiculous, this isn't even a speedrun. This is a sleep-inducing speedwalk! I don't even know how to vote, and probably refrain from voting on it at all, but what I'm confident about is that Golgo-13 isn't really suited for TASing — it is just too slow. Watching it for almost 50 minutes would be unbearable for everyone who's not in love with the game itself, there is not much you could do about it.

Everything's good so far. The only thing I'd like you to do is to give the same filename to the WIP movie file so I could make forward-compatible savestates.

Well, actually, you are perfectly proving my point with this quote, so I rest my case. :D

A TAS with less frames is a faster movie even if it takes longer to play back than a TAS with more frames.
In "objective reality", yes. But there is no such thing as objective reality — thus, the movie that appear faster, will be faster to me. Yes, we can measure frame count if we put aside the visual perception, and we can also compare movies by time units alone, but it doesn't always mean that a movie with less frames will look faster, closer to perfection, yet alone more entertaining. Anyways, why did you start arguing with me over the fact that the perception of speed, much like the perception of time, was subjective? I thought that was rather obvious… (Moreover, you haven't even tried to disprove it. :| )

Frames, seconds — doesn't matter much if we're talking about the time units. If not, then I've probably misunderstood what you're saying; could you rephrase?
