Yay, even more R&F goodness. Does that mean all of R&F is covered now, or are you still working on one of the two other categories, sparky?
http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

Current published 100 CDs run can be still improved. Because there are new tricks that haven't been used yet. But, I'm very tired. I've already made Rockman & Forte TAS three times.

I'm confused. Why is this slower run being submitted again?

Excellent improvement, definitely Yes-worthy. Too bad you apparently can't instant-kill Wily's second form.

Damn, i realy loved your First Cold Man BossFight, must have been tedious to sync shoots with music. This is an instant Yes Vote. A Question, Why you took some hits in TenguMan stage, you didn't used Counter Attacker?

It's too bad that you have to shoot a lot of missed shots for luck manipulation; it tends to look sloppy. However, the run is very stylish and quite impressive. Amazing ending for the Tank boss fight, and beautiful end of input! You get a Yes vote. Feel free to take a well-deserved break!
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.

That was great, and I found it more entertaining than the Rockman run. Clear yes vote.

I disagree, and I think the Rockman run is more entertaining than this. However this is still enough masterpiece to deserve a strong yes vote.

You sure you aren't looking at the Rockman run? The previous Forte run is 29:08.07.

^ True. There's no mention of Forte anywhere on the home page. It's just "SNES Rockman & Forte (JPN) by sparky in 28:08.23" BTW, why was there's no instant kill on Wily in this run?

Sorry, I wrote down "Forte" in only branch. Instant kill Wily used in Rockman's run requires Search Rush.
