After a seven year hiatus from TASing I decided to get back into TASing. Now that my favourite console has a stable enough emulator core to make TASing possible. I choose this game because its a short and simple game. That I knew could be finished within a day or two, and so I could familiarize myself with Bizhawk. Although the fast movement and floaty jumping mechanics did make parts of the game problematic. The part I most feared doing was the penultimate boss battle. However, I was able to make the boss cooperate during the second phase. Allowing me to beat it using just one throw.
  • Aims for fastest time
  • Plays on hardest difficulty
  • Abuses Programming errors
  • Manipulates luck

Noxxa: Judging.
Noxxa: This movie was made with an USA ROM running on a JPN BIOS. It doesn't sync on a proper combination. While this is sort of understandable given some issues with some online Japanese BIOSes being labeled as being USA BIOSes, as well as the fact that current BizHawk versions happily take a JPN BIOS for running USA games, it doesn't change the fact that this is an improper combination of game and BIOS versions which is against the movie rules. Rejecting.

Can I request to one of the admins to provide an option which allows the submitter to state what system bios is being used.

For the record, this TAS uses the wrong BIOS. It uses the Japanese BIOS instead of the correct American one: http://tasvideos.org/MovieRules.html#MatchTheBiosRegionToTheGameSRegion

Originally I thought I was using the American one because I had "Sega Saturn BIOS v1.00 (US)" in my firmware folder. However, Bizhawk interpreted it as the Japanese one. I didn't think it was a big deal so I just continued TASing the game, but I'll take note of that in future.

Just write it in the submission text.
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.

Clockwork Knight 2 is a bit more complex, and would require research in terms of strategies and route planning. However, there's other game I'd rather do than this games sequel.

I haven't got my choice set in stone, but I was looking into Elevator Action Returns, but first I'll need to get my Saturn USB controller, as it will make it easier to control two players.
