That would be extremely boring to watch. Speedruns are about being fast, Tool-Assisted Speedruns are about being inhumanly fast. Autoscrollers can't be sped up so all you can do is perform inhuman feats during the allotted time and minimize all delays. I have yet to see an autoscroller that allows so many feats that it doesn't get boring after a few minutes.

I agree with KDR_11k, it would be more boring, the run would become old pretty fast if it would be any longer.

For us acronymically challenged you might want to elaborate some.

It's the name of the game. It's autoscroller that was announced for NDS as Raid over the river, then renamed to R.O.T.R. Maybe it will be worth TASing when it will be possible, time will show ^^ P.S. Sorry, it's not about Gradius at all... :[

The present run by Adelikat rules above all! Don't even try to beat it. You are bound to cry at the end when it is rejected.

has anyone thought about 100% kills gradius, like the snes version? I'd personally find kill all enemies very quickly better than move around all enemies and only kill a few.

So doing the 100% kills is to kill every enemy that on the screen without missing any enemy. So you can use Two Warps, One Warps, or No Warp to try to achieve the 100% Kills. The playaround Gradius is there moving around the enemy and killing them few.

I think everybody knows about those facts because they're pretty obivous. But anyways, keep on rocking KRocketneo!

You could even choose to play with one hand tied to your back or whils doing handstands but even that won't make such a run interesting.
