This topic is for the purpose of discussing #4185: Cooljay's NES Wayne's World in 05:56.56

There are some damage taken which are kinda suspicious, I don't know but they don't look the right decision. For instance, with the blond guy, fourth stage, isn't it faster to jump over that barrel?

If it was Wayne he could high jump over it but Garth doesnt have the ability of doing high jumps and only regular forward jumps. Which start pretty low to the ground and would touch the enemies/hazards somewhat bigger hitbox than it appears to be risking him to fall or take damage anyways.

Yeah, I mean Garth, but even with Wayne there are parts, I'm sorry if I'm wrong about those, that seems like you could've jumped instead of taking damage. But about the Garth's damage I mentioned, you can avoid the barrel (or whatever it is)by not jumping as soon as you can on the third red platform. It's a tiny bit faster than taking damage, but still. edit: here's a screenshot of the spot, with the jump over;

It explains why i got the results that i did from jumping soon as possible and testing frames of moving forward. It was my fault to assume too quickly it would not be possible.

This is the game with the incredibly annoying "Not!" sound whenever you take damage isn't it? Definitely do everything you can to avoid getting hit :p

So is this improvable, and how much if it is?

It's hard to say precisely, but the first stage can also be completed faster by avoiding damage; http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/12479180350525188 (~100 frames faster)

Sounds like rejection for sloppiness.

I will upload my improved movie tomorrow when my internet in my new place is ready(Just been using internet at the library)

Here is my improved movie that saves 753 frames Edit:Removed the movie from storage since it has buggy code.

Excellent! It is much, much better now. As I said not too long ago, I enjoy watching fast runs, so Yes, I found it entertaining.

Encode so I can watch this and vote on it plz.

Thanks for the encode, feos. I can't say I was entertained by this run, but I can still see it being accepted to Moons, so I'm voting Meh.

Sorry for commenting so late on this. After seeing the encode, I'm not really impressed by the game. Wayne and Garth's faces look really creepy between the stages, when you see them fade in with a pair of drumsticks. The platforming doesn't really have much variety except for beating up some guys with predictable attacks, except for the one part where Wayne fights the images coming off the cameras. The gameplay is fine, but it feels like the game could've been much better. This is definitely not as good a movie adaptation as Lethal Weapon was. I'm voting No, but good job on making this run more polished.
