Top Gun: The Second Mission is a sequel to the first Top Gun on the NES. There are three missions with increasing difficulty. You have to fight a bomber, a battle copter, and a space shuttle. The VS. mode is where players can beat each other up.

Game objectives

  • Emulator used: FCEUX 2.2.2
  • Destroy all opponent and land in the fastest time.

Comments

Missiles are not necessary for a VS. mode TAS.

Stage by stage comments

Destroy opponent, land, rinse and repeat. That's all there is to it.


ars4326: Judging!
ars4326: Hi, PikachuMan. All in all, while this technically is a fastest completion of a game mode -- there is just such a minimal level of skill and input needed here in order to be optimal. Each fight in the very beginning, for instance, only requires holding Up and the fire button for a few frames in order to destroy the enemy jet. From there, another brief input sequence is then required in order to safely land your aircraft (i.e. speed up to around 790 mph, hold down B to slow down, then slightly adjust to land).
Sorry, PikachuMan. Nonetheless, I look forward to seeing another run from you in the future!
Rejecting due to game choice (trivial game mode to TAS).

Yeah... this submission really brings back the old days when our community was small and nobody wanted to comment the submissions unless the game wasn't popular! In principle, there is nothing amazing. Finally, you can view the encode: Link to video My opinion will be close to yours! I found it boring, but it still funnier than Desert Bus =)
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.

How in the world your bank angle stays zero during the whole mission, but you somehow return to (the same?) ship? Anyway, meh vote, I do not find it fun to watch — and the reason is the game itself, not the TAS.
