I think he means that the remaining stock means you could have used them more often than you did and possibly saved more time.

Also if it is too much to ask can someone watch my run because I don't know how a TAS of mario is timed. I don't know if I stopped my movie in the right place so I don't know if the time above is accurate. Any help will be appreciated :)
Movies are timed from the emulator's simulated power-on until whenever the recording is terminated. A common newbie mistake is to leave the recording running after no further input is necessary to complete the game. As FractalFusion pointed out, this was a mistake you made. Not a big deal, though.

Might I suggest adding a note to the publication about the English localization of the show being named Samurai Pizza Cats?

The movie description is inaccurate; the continuum fluxes (wormholes) are never used.

I do a lot with the Yu-Gi-Oh! card game; I play every so often, but I also keep up on card interactions and game mechanic interactions, so I can volunteer to judge at events in my area. A childhood friend of my cousins by my mom's brother, whom I got to know better through Yu-Gi-Oh!, has survived Hodgkin's lymphoma. My mom's father also recently (in the last few years) reached the point where he'd outlived his leukemia diagnosis. I recently sold my old car for a decent sum considering the age of the car and the repairs it needed; once I get my next paycheck (next Friday), I'll see what I can spare. As I've said on IRC, though, I only have Paypal.

I wasn't entertained by this because the muddiness of the graphics meant that most of the time I had no idea where the hell you were. Voting No. For what it's worth, I could tell that the levels were well-played, so nice job on that.

I don't think any character is the SF3 line is broken, but I agree with grassini; playing with Twelve and using the X.C.O.P.Y. super gauge, to transform into your opponent for a short time, has the best entertainment potential

I tend to wait for whole movies instead of watching WIPs, but the freeze-frame for WIP 7 just had me sputtering in astonishment for like 5 seconds. WHY does Celes have a Generic Moogle Name™? (Don't answer, I don't want it spoiled.)

Great improvement! Was impressed that you squeezed over a billion points out of one stage. Voting Yes.

Heck yeah! Loved the last one. Waiting for encode since my system doesn't run Bizhawk very well.

If the debug menu can be accessed solely from within in the game (as in, you don't need a Gameshark or similar device to enable it) then using it for a playaround run COULD be legit, assuming it meets/exceeds the standards here.

Another excellent run. I loved the big toss use, and that you managed to refine the Fire Boomerang use enough that you could just buy those instead of needing the Duplicator. Yes vote.

The gibberish at the openings of his recent submissions reminds me of the gibberish that used to let spam emails dodge spam filters.

Your post gives me the impression that you're trying to judge it as an action game, feos. It is far more a puzzle game. On those terms, I can appreciate the run. The solutions were very good. I'll toss in a Yes vote, for Moons.

This was a good run; as others have said, it feels like a throwback to the old days, which I don't think is bad. As much as I love seeing games glitched to Hell and back, sometimes you just have to watch them played the way the developers intended. Yes vote for Moons.

I really enjoyed this. The pace was good throughout, and the variety of tricks used to work around the restriction against both killing enemies normally and killing them via the revenge-tech led to some novel solutions. Yes vote.

No, "wrong warp" is not ACE, nor is anything else the run does. It's just memory corruption.
I was honestly curious about that, so I'm glad that Dyshonest indirectly got it answered. Now if he'd just stop arguing that anything and everything is ACE, we'd be just peachy. EDIT: I'm also waiting on encode to watch.

Can you explain what "revenge teching" is? I'm not really up to speed on SOTN speedrunning/TASing.

Thirding the submission request. I still think that this branch is Moon-worthy. You use lots of esoteric glitches and techniques not seen in the other branches to overcome the limitations the "pacifist" goal puts on you, and in my opinion, those differences set this movie aside and make it just as worth watching as those.

You can probably PM it and your submission text to Nach or adelikat and they can do it.

He's asking if this was submitted before the tiered publication system was implemented. It was. I'd agree with UnGrueing this and having it reconsidered for Moons.

Possibly just more accurate emulators resulting in more lag? That happened when Super Metroid went from SNES9X to lsnses/Bizhawk.

Whatever characters are in the filename after the numbers result in Gens not being able to load the GMV on Windows 7. I had to remove them. Anyway, great run, voting Yes.

That "0 bosses" TAS was a really good watch. You should submit it, seeing how the Moon tier is friendly to esoteric goals. There's definitely enough unique content to set it apart from the other runs of SOTN, and defeating Dracula to give the run a definite endpoint is the same in my mind as the Zelda "Swordless Challenge" collecting the Wooden Sword so it can defeat Ganon and beat the game.
