Submission Text Full Submission Page

General info

Emulator/tools used

  • VisualBoyAdvance 1.72 for rerecording v23
  • TAS Movie Editor v0.12.1
  • Some emulua scripts

Objectives

  • Starts from a predefined save
  • Aims for shortest input time
  • Abuses programming errors
  • Manipulates luck
  • Uses warps
  • No damage/death
I just improved previous version by 7 frames.
(Sorry, it seems that I had linked a wrong URL. I modified it.)

Movement tricks

cf. #2124: klmz's GBA Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance in 11:13.12 I tried discovering a new movement like Julius's one that takes the place of sliding. But I failed.

Improvements

Until entering the castle
No improvements. Previous version is so solid that I could not improve there.

In the entrance
I saved 4 frames by using spin attack before whip-launch glitch.

While warping
Somehow I saved 1 frame in the clock tower.

In the previous room of Dracula Wraith
I saved 1 frame until getting on the elevator.
By the way, I manipulated luck while spinning.

Kischine-ryu Ougi!
I saved 1 frame by the luck manipulation.

Thanks

Thanks to TASers of CVHoD, especially, pirate_sephiroth, Comicalflop, zggzdydp, Deign, and klmz, for pioneering and developing the amazing route.
And gocha's Lua scripts helped me to manipulate luck. Thanks, gocha.

I watched for about 12 seconds then I was lost at what was going on. 10 seconds after that, boss is pretty much dead.
When TAS does Quake 1, SDA will declare war. The Prince doth arrive he doth please.

I can't believe that the original MKV is actually smaller than this. I will upload it after TMNT.

There was a TAS in there? I think I blinked and missed it. Yes vote.
I am a figment of my imagination.

Wow, nice job on improving a TAS that's already in the frame-war stages!
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically. Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.) Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html) Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature! Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run. From the submission comments:
Shoutouts and thanks to mklip2001 for arguably being the nicest and most supportive person on the forums.

It's very impressive that you could improve such a tight movie for your first submission. I'm voting yes, as this category is too bizarre to bore me. I hope that you continue TASing as this is one of the most promising starts I've seen in a while.

Movie shorter than credits? check. Movie too short for the TAS notice? Maybe next time. Anyway, clear yes vote.

He has TASed Super Metroid for a bit (though I don't really know how much since afaik he mostly hangs in Japanese forums), and he discovered a couple of cool and creative tricks that have then been used in published runs. So he's not a complete newbie :P Yes vote on this btw, such a silly run.

New systems TAS of 2009
klmz for pioneering and developing the amazing route.
"Genuine self-esteem, however, consists not of causeless feelings, but of certain knowledge about yourself. It rests on the conviction that you — by your choices, effort and actions — have made yourself into the kind of person able to deal with reality. It is the conviction — based on the evidence of your own volitional functioning — that you are fundamentally able to succeed in life and, therefore, are deserving of that success." - Onkar Ghate

Can the movie easily be changed to start from power-on rather than a reset?

He credited all of you for pioneering the route. The "and" joins klmz to the set.

AFAIK, Maxim is only unlocked after beating the game once, so he had to start from Reset to keep the SRAM from a completed game file.
