In my opinion speed should be a goal (even if not the *main* goal, but at least *a* goal) even in a dual TAS.
Of course there's such goal, I'm planning to keep the movie under mark of 13 minutes. But when I have to decide whether to make show-off (heh, I don't see any negative meaning here, every speedrun is a show-off in its nature) or save several frames, I'll choose entertainment.

Not aiming for speed *at all* makes, IMO, the dual video boring pretty soon. Yes, there may be cool and funny synchronization, but if it doesn't have any set goal (eg. complete the games reasonably fast) then it's just a show-off which gets old in a minute or two.
You're right, but I don't think 5-10 wasted seconds would make a difference - it won't turn watching into unbearable pain. :)

Even if you sacrifice some seconds (overall) to entertainment, at least try to make it look that you aren't, that it's actually something which aims for speed. Nothing bothers the viewer more (well, of course I can't speak for *everyone*, but I'm sure that it applies to many) than a speedrun (tas or regular) where there are clearly unneeded pauses or detours. For example dancing around just for the fun of it but without any concrete goal (other than to show off) is not a very good idea. A machinima video should be a completely different category.

So, I decided to start everything over, with 2 players, yeah. It's gonna be long way, therefore I don't think the movie will be completed this year. :-/ Here I will post WIPs level by level. Meanwhile! Recently I learned a little about video editing tools and made AVI for that first attempt from the past. Here, now everyone can see what I meant by synchronization and all.
