I liked the run. Voting yes. For reference, here are some old files I recorded: Old full game test run. Seems faster? Old unoptimized WIP of the first fight. Significantly faster? Source: This forgotten thread.

Run Right for Justice League, a group of superheroes who "run right for justice". Minimal Input Man, Dr. Wily's latest robot master creation who moves only when absolutely necessary. Tom of Fscreen or Tom Offscreen. Tom is never seen! Tom is always offscreen! (Cousin of Tom of Finland.) Long before we had 3D printers... there was... Item Duplicator Man. He duplicates any item in your 8th inventory slot. It only works if you have four members in your party and at least one of them is dead or poisoned. Desynch Demon. The Lovecraftian horror beast born in the depths of long forgotten input files. The April Fool's Man. This guy works everyday, all day, the whole year. Creator of the worst TAS movies. Dinosaur. Colored. Edit: Don't forget the iconic "batmobile" of our times, the ADVANCEDFRAME CONVERTIBLE!

Could you elaborate? Does this apply to speedrunning and Go too? Isn't pretty much every aspect of human culture "kind of" idolatry?

Very nice bomb placement strategies. This is a great TAS. TASVideos needs more Saturn movies!

Doesn't Bizhawk have a bit better sound emulation? Does the run synch on Bizhawk?

Don't worry. It is not a big deal. You're not wasting anyone's time. You are creating content for people to enjoy. Improving your own submission is just part of the creation process. It is called "Workbench" for a reason. :) I actually think submitting a run will increase the player's ability to find improvements, because the player becomes more conscious of what he is doing. Or maybe it is because after the recording is over, the player frees his attention from the technical stuff and sees the whole picture more clearly. I recall this happening to my submissions a quite a few times. I don't know why. Maybe there is a slight increase in the production of stress hormones, adrenaline or something in our brains, which enhances our senses? I have often spotted an obvious mistake immediately after submitting my run.

Why?
I used some voting advice application and voted according to the result. The top results were from The Pirate Party and The Greens. It was not an easy decision to make. I have voted The Greens before and may vote them again in the future. I guess I am a somewhat chaotic swing voter.

Thank you, Patashu. This is very interesting. Let's hope somebody makes a new TAS-movie! (I wish I had infinite time, so I could do it myself.)

I agree. It completes "the cutman stage", which is not as low as low% can get.

In fact it is quite possible that a run could be ACE without an author realizing it, they just knew they corrupted somethings, and then teh game went crazy.
That is what may have happened here: [1838] Genesis Gods by Aqfaq in 07:29.73 Could be ACE...? I wouldn't know. I only know teh game went crazy.

Looks much better and faster than I had expected. Great action. I like how it is easy to follow both players, because the graphics are so nice and clear. Looking forward to more.

I counted 11 battles that were actually fought. All of them seem to be unavoidable. Lots of walking here, but I vote Yes! I wouldn't know how to improve this walkrun.

Maybe TASVideos needs a new category for "partial endings"? This category would include movies with various forms of partial ending sequences: * graphically glitched credits * credits without music * no credits, but game registered complete * credits, but game not registered complete

There is no "normal" way to complete the game. There is no logical necessity for the old method to be the "normal" method. There could exist another planet whose inhabitants don't know about the other levels, because they always play the game like this. Thanks to pirohiko and FinalFighter, the "true normal ending" is now seen on Earth for the first time. Also, the movie says: ROCKMAN HAS ENDED (THE EVIL DOMINATION OF Dr.WILY AND RESTORED THE WORLD TO PEACE) Indeed, Rockman has ended. I rest my case.

For long-running shows like Adventure Time, I strongly recommend viewing only the "best" episodes. Listing the episodes by IMDb-rating is the best way to find the best episodes. This way you don't need to waste your time watching the weak episodes that your random friend recommends for an arbitrary reason. I don't know about you guys, but I would rather watch 10 episodes of 10 different shows than 100 episodes of any single show. Adventure Time is okay for a couple of episodes. After that, it is time to move on. There are more adventures elsewhere...

Nothing special here. This looks like a basic Worms gaming session with some accurate shots. The menu is also not optimized. You should press start only once. Smashing the button does not help at all.

Thank you, maps would always be nice. I am interested in testing the glitch to see what can be done with it. I am probably not making a full run, though.
