This topic is for the purpose of discussing #2492: ZENEO9's SNES Congo's Caper in 25:22.08

This looks like a reasonable game choice, but I have concerns about the level of technical precision in this run; there are things such as the jumping around on vines in the third stage and what looks like taking an unnecessary hit during the second boss fight. Plus, you state in the submission text that

I think 3 first stages can be improved very easy

Can you give some justification for the above, in particular why there are "very easy" improvements you chose not to go back and make?

Can someone encode?

Given that I was able to improve the first stage while playing realtime, I'm voting no on this. In many instances you chose to stop and club enemies, which wastes time, while jumping and clubbing them does not.

thanks,even now you don't give me a chance

Cool-Cool rerecord count, vote no Btw read guidline and how to make tas before submiting, mmbossman already rejected your runs and linked it to you, it seem you just ignored it and instead learned how to hexedit your rerecord count, good job keep it on !

This seems like it's a good game to run (even with a couple boring autoscrollers, like that ship level). However, this run is really unoptimized. As Atma said, you club a lot of enemies while on the ground, thus pausing when you deal with them. Your swimming is very erratic in some of the water stages, where you don't cut corners closely and I think you hit an extra ceiling that you don't need to hit. You swing at bosses while they're still invulnerable, which only delays your next hit on them (you did this a lot with the second and third phases of the final boss). One other area that makes me curious: any time you had to walk on spike pits to save time, would it be possible to get super-flashy Congo first? In that one stage, where you keep walking on spikes and going between human Congo and monkey Congo, each transformation takes time for the stars to fade out. If you were super-flashy Congo, you wouldn't go through that transformation, so it seems like this would save you a lot of time. Maybe you could get health powerups from the slots that you sometimes play... you never won anything from the slots. I'm sorry, but I watch this and think it could be a whole lot better. No vote.

I am glad you are working on an improvement. However, if you are, you should cancel this submission.
