Better late than never: [2397] Windows Braid by keylie in 22:15.28 Lots of fantastic tricks and routes = high entertainment value; Technical quality also very high too. Personally it is one of my favorite TASes on site. Game itself have very beautiful art backgrounds and music underneath, besides it have unique time-mechanic so it's should be interesting to watch even for those who never played this indie-masterpiece. It is a crime that Braid still has no star. Upd: Glad that it finally got well-deserved star :)

Great, well done! I guess the next step is to investigate the same technique in other places :D
In W4L1 and W4L2 zips are also possible, but unfortunately useless, because of Mr.Nutz stuck at end and can't escape from cell to be able finish level. In theory it can be usefull during sink stages, however there are no flying enemies so seems it's impossible to set up conditions without script/cheat. The same about igloo. So far no other ideas. In any case, even if there are no other applications, zip in W4L3 itself is huge timesaver. Even non-optimised test showed that it easily can save over 1000+ frames. SNES version require serious update. If also add cutscenes skips & several other known improvements it already would be about roughly ~1 minute ahead of published run. We definitely need do v2 TAS for SNES this year.

Nice and solid run. +1 Yes vote. Btw probably worth to erase "Any% Medium", you clearly explained this choice of difficulty in submission text, it's more than enough imho.

I reproduced it in several spots so it looks like it isn't a specific spot but just the whole ceiling.
You're right, i manage to replicate it (with your LUA cheat) in any place of ceiling in this level. Another question is it possible to do without cheats or not... It not so easy as i expected... But probably in place with low ceiling some chances to set up similar condition exist. I will keep trying. Update: I successfully achieve zip in W4L3 without using cheats!!! :)

I finally did a short video on the zip :D I used the LUA script for re-jumping so I'm not sure if it's possible to do without cheats/lua :X
Oh, very nice!!! I guess with help of bats it should be possible without cheats :) Can please tell exact pixel position of hole in the ceiling? (or provide movie file if possible). @Skarsnik I look forward your progress. Second stage should be very fun for routing. I still doubt that Nuts% it acceptable category, but for April's submissions it should be very nice shot.

Probably to not cause demotivatin, this movie can be published, and then obsoleted by a run with music, even if it'd be still vault.
Accept it = postpone the solution of the problem. It is a bad idea. Decision should be made now without delay for indefinite term. Imagine what already was published run (in vault) with sound, but slower than this. Can this one be accepted as "improvement"?

I think music is one of the major features of Road Rash, so it makes sense to have it.
Not only Road Rash, music/sound is an integral part of all games. As adelikat said:
It is reasonable to consider that even for the vault we should have sound.
Would be good to carve this wisdom in stone as a rule/guideline to avoid reappearance of such submissions in future.

I was under the impression that killing the sound saved time, by making the game less laggy.
I believe we need invent special rule that playing with sound should be preferable even if it is slower than without it. Sound is significant a part of games. And to accept any runs without sound is just wrong in my opinion. Well, this run will be still very boring even with sound, but not SO boring at least.

You can't share movie-file, but maybe you can do encode at least? Or it is forbidden too?

Seriously how it can be? Many video games itself are just interpretation of movies; Many movies itself are just interpretation of books. So actually sometimes we even have deal with cases of interpretation of interpretation of interpretation of art. If someone will make video-review on TAS. It already will be interpretation of interpretation of interpretation of interpretation of art. If someone will write article about this video-review on TAS it already will be interpretation of interpretation of interpretation of interpretation of interpretation of art.

I accidentally looked at post about arcade version http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=370120#36985 Are you investigated it? Is it possible to replicate wrong warp at stage 4 on NES? Sorry if these questions already were answered somewhere. I tried replicate it by my own, many various interesting glitches happens or/and game reset. So may be possible to find in that place something useful (like game end glitch for exaple)?

@DrBaldhead Да, ты прав, цитаты приведенные в оригинальной статье какие-то совсем унылые и без души. Удали их нафиг. Гораздо лучше будет вместо них выбрать пару-тройку-пяток цитат позабористей. Вот отсюда например: Искусство — это воплощение красоты, гармоничное сочетание частей. Искусство неподвластно разуму, оно интуитивно. Его постижение приходит прежде понимания умом. То, что не прекрасно, — не искусство. Хорхе Анхель Ливрага В любом произведении искусства, великом или малом, все до последних мелочей зависит от замысла. Иоганн Вольфганг Гёте Безошибочный признак того, что что-то не является искусством или кто-то не понимает искусства,- это скука... Искусство должно быть средством воспитания, но цель его удовольствие. Бертольд Брехт

Sorry no. Game is just too long... it take eternity to make optimised version. But as i promised, i did second playthrough with slightly better play (~25 mins faster). Enable video in previous post instead of old sloppy movie. How knows, may be it will inspire someone to do full-scale TAS in future.
