Here it is, the TAS you were all waiting for: The legendary Die Hard for NES, played for one of the toughest challenges imaginable! A challenge, only Bruce Willis is man enough to take...
Objectives
  • Gets the bad ending while also achieving a low% completition
  • Does not die very hard
  • Fails to color a dinosaur
Have fun!

Noxxa: Rejecting because it appears the character didn't die hard and the author didn't try hard.

Low% implies that it uses less than it's faster to do normally. I know KirkQ called it that, but really it should be any%, while the other should be good ending.

I was actually thinking of doing this, though I decided against it

You didn't even optimize this? Ouch. Hold B and shoot before you get to the window. Worst 13 seconds of my life.

Sorry that this is not perfect, I made this in a very short time to have a April Fools movie. I still need to work on my TASing skills. Also, I used Bizhawk to make this, although I don't think this should be too relevant for a TAS this short.
Current project: Gex 3 any% Paused: Gex 64 any% There are no N64 emulators. Just SM64 emulators with hacky support for all the other games.

Not only is it not perfect, it doesn't use some fairly basic strats that could be seen by watching a run.

Ok, I was stupid, so I improved it to 9.67. This is even faster than yours, Nitrogenesis, but only because I do the menus faster. You can call my old one "low%, bad ending, walkathon" ^^ I can't upload it right now, as I'm not on my computer at home. When I get back, I will post the update.

Not only do I hate "bad ending" / "fastest gameover"movies in general, but this wasn't even optimized. They did it faster live in SDA Marathon. Obvious no vote.
