IIRC both nitsuja and itresad knew about that glitch and deliberately avoided using it as it would render the movie too repetitive to watch.
In this case "Contains speed/entertainment tradeoffs" should be added to them to avoid confusion.

What if the Gens version is just kept in userfiles for whenever Nach is around to add the file to the pub? Though I'll need to wait for him to even agree to do it here. Before it's published it can't have both files, and I'd really prefer encoding this on hawk.
Yeah i agree with that variant. Replace it now and use hawk version for encoding.
Later, after publication if Nach would so generous he will add alternative link for original movie file.

Since this movie syncs perfectly on BizHawk, I could replace the movie file of this submission with a .bk2 conversion. This is not a requirement, and the decision is up to the author. Archanfel, do you agree?
I am ok with replacement, though i think it would be even better to keep both movie files - original .gmv and .bk2 conversion. (In some publications i saw that is possible to have two alternative movie files links. Like this one for example.)

This game is boring as hell. I don't think you should even bother continuing this run.
I will try to disprove this statement. This game looks simple only at the surface, but in reality numerous of small and big tricks can make it interesting for TAS.
Be able to switch betwen characters is very rare gameplay element which make it complex for optimisation and it helped to break some sequences by switching camera. Cooperation between girl and raccoon is also fun.
Complete TAS of this game would be about 16 minutes in my estimates. The first WIP will be delivered in december.
Be prepared to see true Colors of the Wind.

@Spikestuff
I just asked to have standard movie description for Comix Zone without excessive note on emulation flaws to be equal with hundreds of other published movies descriptions. But instead of it you continue oppression of Gens users.

Keep in mind, for those who making TAS for themselves, their emulatior choice is not depending on TASVideos rules. Even more, nothing depends. Only their own feeling what emu and what TAS they like to do. And only by coincidence resulting TAS is acceptable here.
Exactly. From day one when i learned how to record TAS i doing them for myself. Here my old quote about it:

Initially i did it just for myself, but it turned out good enough so it’s not a shame to show my work for people here :)
So TASVideos is just a good place to share my works with people who also have interest in superhuman playing. If they are no more welcome here, i can simply stop submit them.

All three of them are great, but personally i enjoy the slowest one the most:

Also this is the first ever publication using libTAS. So it has the same historical significance for TASVideos as Cave Story.

I just asked to remove one line of text which i consider non necessary to be placed in description. Hopefully my humble request can be fulfilled.

Well if you have such an issue with the description and asking for an adjustment on 170 movies then create the list of those that have the very notable audio issues that Gens gives to movies such as this one.
To add similar note to them? No thanks.

I ask to remove this line from movie description. Minor audio issues are exist, it is true. But they are not so dramatical to write note about it in description.
Four predecessor movies for this game were made in Gens as well and they had the same issues, however this fact has never mentioned in description, and almost nobody cared about it more than decade.
Currently there are 219 published movies in Sega Genesis:
http://tasvideos.org/Movies-Genesis.html
171 of them made in Gens. Descriptions for other 170 movies has no mention about inaccurately in Gens emulation, it is not fair to have such note only in this movie.
P.S.
— Rating: 6.0 (5 votes)
I am indifference about movie ratings, but nevertheless i was a little bit surprised that from all my TASVideos publications, Comix Zone suddenly got the lowest rating...
It is even worse than obsoleted Pinocchio! Which was in the Vault!!! LOL.

I not completely understand why English language versions is preferable on TASVideos.
TASing is international hobby and in particular we have a lot of Japanese speaking people.
Speaking about MOTHER2 ギーグの逆襲 - original version of this game (Japanese) was released first in 1994. English translated version named EarthBound was released only a year later in 1995.
As MUGG said faster dialogues in Japanese and less lags can make TAS several minutes shorter. So i see not logical reasons to choose english here.

I did non-optimised test-run for Raptor any%.
Link to video(Link to movie)
I guess in optimised version about 15-20 seconds can be saved.
Actually Raptor any% TAS will be much harder to optimise comparing to Grant any%, so i wish good luck to ViGadeomes who is volunteered to do it.
A few observations:
-At landing is possible to recive additional 55-60 pixels. = Try to use it after each jump.
-Raptor can increese speed in air when he recive damage. So it will be usefull to manipulate to shot in his back as many as possible.
-Before falling from corner, when need to continue movement in same direction, leg attack can save some frames.
-Normally Raptor is turning around is very slow, but sometimes during landing at corners is possible to turn around instantly. Probably there are some others way to turn around instantly, for example at Cargo Ship get damage from box at ice slide can help to do it.

Да, как и сказал XTREMAL93, Тирекс бессмертный, там надо просто доплыть до конца уровня.
Развернул лодку, что бы он челюстями мимо Гранта промахивался, да так и выглядит прикольнее. В конце стреляем в Рекса него для того что бы обрубить импут раньше и доплыть по инерции.
---
Кстати, сделал тестовый забег за Раптора за 5:55 (5:47 RTA).
Оптимизировать Раптора я не планирую, но к счастью для этого есть другой желающий.
Просто хотелось посмотреть как примерно за него играется, вот и записал пробник.

Seeing how you next project isn’t until 2019 (judging from your signature), this just seems like an excuse to keep delaying your explanation. It’s kinda unfair to people here that you keep doing this. Do you even have a valid reason? If so, what’s the point of delaying it?
One of main reasons is that my computer works very slowly with BizHawk, especially when i use lua. There are a few other reasons why i still prefer Gens, but i not really want to start emulators discussion.
grassini wrote:
LOL why don't you just give him the justification right now? is it related to the next game you're going to submit a TAS?
Yes, related. Hopefully next year i finally will finish Adventures of Batman & Robin, it uses Gens. So to troll Spikestuff in next time i wanted to answered him that it was started by Truncated and i already had no choice when i joined!
Also there are about 5-6 movies i started with Gens some time ago, i not sure will i ever complete them or not (so they absents in my signature), but if i will finish them it will be Gens movies once again.

If needed, the movie syncs on BizHawk 2.3 without changing inputs and I can upload it.
Some inputs by BizHawk seems to do not be used by the game (during loading times) so maybe it can be improved on BizHawk.
Shorter loading times due emulator difference alone is not true improvement but i guess Spikestuff will be happy to have BizHawk version, since he requested converted my previous submission .bk2 just a week ago.
P.S. Try to use advanced strategy for zip in Hidden Ruins which i mentioned in "Possible improvements" in case of successes i will be glad to add you as coauthor.

А как насчет этого?
Я исследовал это метод еще во вторник, когда записывал этот уровень, и да этот путь через верх действительно чуть быстрее, чем через низ (зависания можно избежать, это не проблема).
Однако классический вариант с разворотом, когда Грант сидится динозавру на хвост выглядит крайне забавно и абсурдно. Это похоже на корриду юрского периода.
Мне этот момент настолько нравился, что я решил, что будет преступлением запретить Гранту залезать Йоши на хвост, у меня рука не поднялась отменить такую красоту. Я оставил нижний путь чисто из эстетических соображений.
Sk1pBaSe wrote:
есть другая фича, что без разворота позволяет первым прыжком в зип попасть, сэйвит секунду, но рандомно, и нет инпутов на этот трюк
Если с первого прыжка провалиться вниз, то застревает в районе позиции X=840 и до выхода уже физически не добраться. Так, что так секунду засейвить нельзя.

One small detail at platform around 2:17 in your video, you can jump on butterfly in air and so reach right side a bit faster.

Две новости.
Первая. ТАС за Гранта практически готов. По сравнению с тестовым забегом, на оптимизации я наскреб примерно 12 секунд улучшения. Завтра отправлю.
Вторая. Мне написал ViGadeomes и сказал что хочет сделать ТАС за Раптора. Про свеженайденный скип с вертолетом я ему рассказал, так что теперь я могу со спокойной совестью самоустраниться :) ТАС за Раптора будет делать он.

У Раптора зачем-то поставили верхний предел скорости падения в 14 пикселей/кадр, при достижении которой дальше скорость не растет вне зависимости от каких либо нажатий.
Только хитрюга Грант умеет ускоряться до бесконечности.
