Here it is, my finished TAS of Hulk. I'm still searching for glitches, and will post them here: Hulk shows his true colors... funny, but useless. Stop 'n' Go Glitch, it's not very useful against bosses, but can save 5+ frames when used near some enemies.

No replies? I’ll have to write a FAQ* then. Q: I only have the (E) version of the Rom, can you send me the (U) version? A: No, sharing Roms are not allowed here, but you can use the (E) version too. Q: I used the (E) version as you said, but the game is running slow, why? A: Go to Config => Speed => Set Speed => 100% (normal speed). Q: Your movie is only 10% entertaining. Haven't you read the rule about this? A: It’s a guideline, not a rule, but if that’s the case, watch only 10% of the run. Q: I saw in YouTube someone climbing ladders faster than you, why? A: Only the Genesis version allows you to climb ladders this way. Q: Every time I try to watch your movie I fall asleep, why? A: Drink a cup of coffee before or during the movie. Q: Some times you jump right into the bullets, and it looks sloppy, why is that? A: The only way to avoid this would be killing those enemies, but it wastes time. Q: Why use Snes9x rerecording 1.43 and not 1.51? A: I tried the version 1.51, but the lag was unbearable. Q: You wait too much to skip the cut scenes, why? A: Only on Genesis you can skip cut scenes when they begin. Q: So, which version can be completed faster, Genesis or SNES? A: None of them, the faster to complete is the Master System version. Q: If the Master System version is faster to complete, why you chose the SNES? A: I don’t choose it yet, but without this run I don’t have something to compare. Q: Are you going to run the Genesis and Master System versions? A: No, even though I like this game, it’s not a good game choice. Q: Since it’s a bad game choice, why are you still looking for glitches? A: It’s one of my favorite games and I’m doing it for fun. Q: If I find something, can I post it here? A: Yes, please do it! I’ll be more than glad. *Fake Asked Questions

I redid some parts of my Hulk run. What's new: the stop 'n' go glitch was used to delay some enemies, one vase and one boss. better health management on level 3, that allowed me to skip one energy pill. I changed the way that Hulk becomes invincible on level 5 (6?). I used a kind of camera delay to avoid the flying droids. (?)

FAQ* v2.0 Q: I saw that you still hit a pillar you're trying to jump over, why? A: That's the faster way, otherwise you land on top of the pillar. Q: You don't used the stop 'n' go glitch near some enemies, why? A: There are some enemies (droids) that shoot regardless. Q: Okay, but what about some of the stone soldiers? A: To stop their animation the glitch must be done too soon. Q: And what's the problem with that? A: Use the glitch in this case is slower than take damage. Q: I don't want to see a muscle-bound guy almost naked running all the time. A: Then I suggest you to watch Barbie Super Model or Sailor Moon TASes only Q: You answered a question that was not a question, why? A: Good qestion... unfortunately I don't have a good answer.

Three years have passed since my first submitted and accepted run, well, not exactly... But I want to celebrate it somehow, and I think an improvement is a good way to do it. For my new run I'll use BizHawk, the game lags a lot more on this emulator, but weird enough, I can input even during lag frames! Another thing I noticed is that the game does not "stop" during the aforementioned lag frames, it just takes a little longer to load the next stage.. So, I only need to worry about doing things faster than I did before, switching emulators will have a little impact on my final time.

Even after three years, this game generates little interest... time for a *FAQ v3 then; Q: What about your other old SNES runs, are you going to update them too? A: My favorite game of all time is DKC2; it’s a strong candidate for my next project. Q: I still have the same (E) version as before. Will it work on the new emulator? A: No. You’ll have to dump the (U) version from an original cartridge this time. Q: If on Snes9x 1.51 the lag was unbearable, how is it less noticeable on BizHawk? A: Beats me. But the Stop & Go trick can also be used to soften things up, luckily. Q: Stop & Go? What is it? Is this a new trick? Have you found new tricks already? A: No, it’s the same “hold and release right+R”, but it can be used to avoid lag too. Q: Your run was demoted to the Vault Tier. Do you think you can improve this too? A: I’ll try, but it’s hard to do interesting things on this game; run left, run right and repeat… Q: Yeah, this game sucks when it comes to “be creative” kind of things. Why TAS it then? A: Well, as I said before, it was my first submission to this site and I’m a nostalgic guy. Q: Okay, just one more question; shouldn’t you be working instead of writing this *FAQ? A: Yeah, I should, but I’m kind of stuck on a boss fight. Well, see you on *FAQ v4 then! *FAQ = Forged Asked Questions

I tried, but on the Genesis version it is impossible to get the commands to work when you have a lot of lag... One thing that would make a big difference would be a way to commit suicide in the Genesis version; the Hulk is invincible after a suicide in the last frame before the next stage. edit: on the SNES it's X+Y+Start, but you must be shot by a droid on the next stage.

totally forgot, sorry... here's the first wip; http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/5876324850257529 I like to end my wips after boss fights, but I'm still far from the second boss, so it ends with the suicide trick, well, kind of...

I'm sure you've tried numerous times to create the trick in the GEN version, but I'm sort of interested now. I might mess around with it a little bit and let you know if I've found anything.

Thank you very much for your interest, Alba! Here’s a new wip, 181 frames behind the published run; http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/5924018319797202 And with a new wip comes a new *FAQ to keep you updated; 
Q: Barely notice slowdowns my ass! Tyrannus’ Labyrinth, 2-8 for example, care to explain?
A: There are places with more lag than this section and they’re smooth. I just don’t know why.

Q: You were punching in that section, but why you didn’t use the Stop&Go in other sections?
A: I know I should blame the lag, but sometimes there’s no lag and the game ignores my input.

Q: Okay, the lag blah, blah, blah... And the suicide trick? Are you going to use it or not?
A: No. In the SNES version it wastes more time than collecting pills to keep me "Hulked Out".

Q: You keep talking about using that trick in the Genesis version, but, how if you can’t suicide?
A: In the Genesis version dying and advancing to a next area makes you invincible right away.

Q: I think it’s as fake as your other *FAQs...How on earth do you know that? Just, how?
A: I can’t quite remember, but I think I let the time expire on Rhynos fight, I don’t know.

Q: I think you don’t like the Genesis version and are just trying to find excuses, is that right?
A: Well, now you got me... I chose the SNES version because I like it more, but that’s not all.

Q: You can’t blame the lag anymore, and we prefer the Genesis, why you insist in the SNES?
A: Well, the lag still is a factor, but the boss fights on the Genesis will be a lot slower.

Q: I’m still not convinced, but when are you going to release the next unwanted SNES wip?
A: When it’s ready, but as I said before, I like to post new wips after boss fights.
*FAQ = False Asked Questions edit: I posted the wrong wip, this one still have the "suicide trick", but everything before that is right, sorry about that. edit: about the suicide trick on the Genesis version; I was not recording at the time it happend, but it also work on elevators in the SNES, the ones that advance you to a new area. You might want to try Leader's Interior, it's near the end of the game, so I think that's why I was trying to find a way to suicide in other stages, but can't say for sure. edit: Almost there, just the final stage to do. I'm also ahead of my old run, finally!
