That was great, I'm pretty surprised how it turned out.

you'll find that controlling both characters asymmetrically becomes much easier.
Yeah, 2-player TASes look the coolest if it actually looks like 2 players playing, and not one with a controller that controls both. I myself (also not having an analog stick) find it easier by assigning the buttons to multiple keys, and also having keys with muliple buttons this way. I imagine an optimized TAS not having any enemies getting off the ground.

It looks promising but as mention before, having both players cooperate would look great :)
I'm the best in the Universe! Remember that!

that was my first real try I know it is far from perfect I just thought I would post the vid to show it did not look all that bad. but I like the idea of dual analog sticks , one for each of the carecters , I just happen to buy one a few days ago :) one question tho how do I , once I get to the 13th level reset the game and start the balloon trip , I did a reset the went bac to watch the movie and found that the movie itself did not record the reset ..

4 years ... I am sorry for taking this thread out of the catacombs, but I wanted to re read all the information that was givin to me the 1st time and well take the advice as well . I had gave up on TAS for a while becouse I was getting frustrated , but I recently decided to give it another shot . TAS editor has been my friend and I have been having alot more fun with it , when before I was just playing the game at 50 % with a controller and well it was sub-par to say the least I took the advice that the way I was playing the 1st time with 2 player did not look good during the pipe balloon levels , and well that was the main reason I wanted to try this again I have made another 2 player balloon fight movie , I know it has alot of work needed and is not optimal at the moment , but it is alot better then my 1st try at this 1st pipe balloon level : there is a constant fight over the balloons , with no regard for the other player and there balloons , alot of pops and just plain ignorant tactics . 2nd pipe balloon level : is more fair , you get one I get one kind of play , no fighting and just getting balloons in turn , 3rd pipe balloon level : trying to get the balloon as soon as you can , they dont even come out of the pipe , final pipe balloon level : get what you can do worry about the other , its full on take what you can get , with a bit of nasty tactics the run ends with both players having the same score but i tried to not make it not look forced , any and all suggestions are welcome , I was thinking of keeping the run going after the last level and letting the enemies actually take off fully then starting to play the level so there would be a bit more "entertainment" level not just killing them where they stand each level I posted the vid on youtube http://youtu.be/KJH_MCWokGo

NES TAS of 2011
Pretty fun run. The physics engine here seems rather complex due to acceleration in 2 dimensions, which means it can be improvable by changing random pressings here and there, and TASEditor is a good tool to do it. The only thing I'd add entertainment-wise is flying in imaginary figures that segue one into another, and still gobbling up all the pipe balloons (like "incidentally").
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.
