This topic is for the purpose of discussing #2306: Ryuto's GB Kaeru no Tame ni Kane wa Naru in 1:27:43.30

om, nom, nom... crazy! Easy yes-vote!

Funny game, nice tricks. I give you a (bit weak) yes vote.

This is definitely funny at parts, like the picture Aqfaq put up. The prince's motion is really amusing to watch in the sidescrolling parts. I'm also amused to hear how many sound effects made it into Link's Awakening. One question: why do you move left a little bit when entering the dungeon near the end before proceeding to the right? Unfortunately, the game is really long, especially if you can't read the Japanese. I still vote yes, however, since the play level looks nice, especially health management. EDIT: Also, did the screen have to stay glitched for as long as it did after the warp glitch? You do end up fixing the screen near the end of the movie, but it would've been nice to have more of the game look less glitchy. After a few minutes, the glitched look got distracting for me.

One question: why do you move left a little bit when entering the dungeon near the end before proceeding to the right?

At that time, the prince Subure goes left a little bit automatically. So I have no idea for avoiding that.

EDIT: Also, did the screen have to stay glitched for as long as it did after the warp glitch?

Yes, it has to stay glitched unless I use a diary.

Any admins that see this, could you change my no vote to a yes vote?

I watched it halfway in and found it to be a good adventure RPG type of game. I'd say it's good enough, let it in.

The run shows some of nice tricks. I voted a weak yes. In this run, I had a hard time watching extremely glitched screen for a long time. I personally hope you fixed the glitched screen earlier, even if it costs a few of seconds.

Anyone else care to comment on this run? It's pretty long for a gameboy game, with several weak yes votes so far, so some additional feedback would be appreciated.

yes vote, too bad i don't understand japaness but as said in the submition text it's not too bothering (execpt if you want to know the story :/) also, is it just me or the hero constantly get ripped off / stole his money ? last question, if you get all hearts, can you beat richard ? does it give you an alternate ending? also richard is a real jerk why did he push you in the well ?

To show you a funny story, he occasionally pays his enormous sum of money himself. Not only getting ripped or having stolen his money. The story of the game is unchangeable unless there is a big glitch. So I cannot beat Richard even if I have all of the hearts. As for the scene when Richard pushes Sabure, Richard gets angry because he thinks that Sabure paid his enormous money for himself only. In fact, it is his misunderstanding.

I am going to try to explain my vote more in depth : This run seems very well planned and optimised (obsolet it will be hard unless someone finds new glitches or uses the warp glitch in a better place). The way the Prince moves is also pretty funny. The dialogues take a long part of the game, and many viewers here can't understand Japanese. Unfortunately, the story seems interesting. Does a fan-translation exist ? If it is the case, it would be cool if you could transcript it and put English subtitles in your videos on YouTube. But I really do not want to force you. The glitched screen after the warp glitch didn't really bother me, because the game was still legible. By using the diary, do you mean saving the game and re-loading it ? Or is it only some other feature in your diary ? As you've been able to un-glitch the screen before the end, apparently without re-loading the game, it's a shame that you couldn't have un-glitched the game before the last level... The relationship between the two Princes seems a bit complicated in the game. Could you also explain it ? In fact, I don't really understand why they are fighting at the end.

It's pretty long for a gameboy game

The fact that it is long for a GB game doesn't really affect me, but I see what you mean. I maintain my weak yes vote ; the movie is pretty long, but I still think this movie has to be published. I give it 5 for entertainment, and 8 for technical. BTW, your TAS playlist on your YouTube channel is quite impressive.

The purpose of using the diary is to decrease his falling speed. Without doing so, I couldn’t go, at a time, to the place you saw my video. The fighting at the end is for getting married to the Princess Tiramisu. The winner of the battle will be allowed to do so. Richard wins the battle, but he feels Sabure is stronger than him when they are fighting. So Richard gives up to get married to her. Richard and Sabure sometimes fight each other, but they are definitely, very friendly.

I'd heard some things about this game being different before watching the TAS. I saw a multitude of obvious tricks, and no doubt missed a multitude of them as well. The white out had me wondering how long it would last, but it didn't amount to much, really. The text boxes were the most obviously affected, but it didn't detract much once you destroyed the white-out effect. I think it should be published, because it fits all the rules for the site, and because if it does eventually get translated, that translation won't qualify for a speedrun on the site. It would surprise me if this gets obsoleted any time soon. It has a bit of Zelda: Link's Awakening in it's system, and all I could really say is bad is the white-out portion. All else seemed pretty acceptable for the benefits of speed. If it's noted as an Action/RPG like Zelda:LA's Action System + the game's own battle system, then people should know pretty much what they're getting into before watching a long movie.

I apologize for the delay in judgement of this video, it will be done within the next 72 hours. Thanks for being patient Ryuto!

I understand that everyone has busy lifestyles, so I don't mind having a submission be decided in 3 or more months. As long as it doesn't take forever. 0_o

Thanks for the permission pixelgoround, I really appreciate you giving me your blessing in this matter, considering it's not your submission.

[rage] [redflag] Sir, did I ever say this was my submission? NO. As far as I know, this isn't your submission either. Furthermore, I would strongly encourage you (and anyone else involved) to refrain from insulting me with my old usernames - for good - and I don't think asking nicely will help. Surprisingly, that one name-change incident from a while back is still stuck in your head, like a criminal record or something when it's not supposed to be. For once in your life, get over it! Thank you for playing, good night. -_- [/redflag] [/rage]

Now I can move on peacefully. ^_^

Okay, knowing that I been highly insulted by a user or two for the past day or so, all I can do from this point is apologize (sorry for now). But there are times when I take things like this seriously, and that is when I sometimes lose it. I'm leaving both mmbossman and this thread/submission alone so I can move on. -_-

Around frame 90000 I think you could have slightly saved some time by killing the two remaining bees (worth 50 coins) as opposed to some of the other insects worth 20. But that's pretty minor. All in all, it's a movie that would have been much better had an English counterpart been available (at least for those of us that speak English). Because of this, the length seems a bit excessive, but other viewers seem to find it entertaining, and I managed to find it quirky and mildly fun to watch.

Around frame 90000 I think you could have slightly saved some time by killing the two remaining bees (worth 50 coins) as opposed to some of the other insects worth 20. But that's pretty minor.

No. If I did so, I had to recover his lifes and needed more frames.

I haven't watched this yet, but I see a lot of people saying they wish it was in English. Is there enough text that subtitles would be useful? (as in Youkai Douchuuki)

I'm abstaining from voting. I just really have no idea what's even going on in this game.
