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.

my personal page - my YouTube channel - my GitHub - my Discord: thunderaxe31 <Masterjun> if you look at the "NES" in a weird angle, it actually clearly says "GBA"

[4104] NES Monopoly by adelikat in 00:29.53 and [4270] GC Mario Party 7 "Solo Cruise" by BeastlyN64 in 21:45.22 because in these movies, the luck manipulation is visceral and something you can see clearly playing out in real time.

There are various good showcases of luck manipulation, including the obligatory Pokémon nominations: [4163] GB Pokémon: Blue Version by TiKevin83 in 1:29:35.61 [4372] GBC Pokémon: Gold Version by CasualPokePlayer in 2:52:57.88 [4278] GBA Pokémon: Emerald Version "game end glitch" by merrp in 54:54.81 There's also this way shorter movie that displays breaking a well-known game apart by funny amounts of luck: [4104] NES Monopoly by adelikat in 00:29.53
