I wrote a new article. http://tasvideos.org/players.html#commontricks It's supposed to contain generic tricks that are not specific to any single game - tricks that will make timeattacks a lot more exciting than plain plays because the tricks are not usually considerable in regular play. Contribution ideas?

for games that require multiple key presses to do a single move, you can start making the sequence of keys (like front,front, B) while the character still can't move, so you press the last button at the very moment he becomes able to move, instead of waiting for him to start making the sequence. it won't work on some games tho. right+left or up+down might have unexpected results, it's always worth a try.

You know, I think a compilation video of some of the coolest glitches/video segments would make a good trailer :)

A site ad, not a bad idea. Just a 2 min vid with some snips of the best scenes would rock. Don't forget to have awesome music in the background. Should start a thread about this.
