A few questions. 1. What are the differences between the "AA" versions and the other versions? 2. Do all of them require an expanded SMW ROM?

For what it's worth, as part of my defiance regarding the MM3 MM4 submission debacle, I purposely made parts look sloppy if it lost no time.
If it didn't lose time, why should it be a strike against? Will watch tonight and vote tomorrow.

I've been trying to watch Waker Boh's Zombies Ate My Neighbors in SNEX9x 1.43+ v17, and it keeps desyncing at the final boss fight. ZAMN is a SlowROM game, but I've noticed that in the movie sync options, the new "Clean FastROM" setting is checked and grayed out (so I can't uncheck it;) is it possible that it's causing the desync, or am I just having random trouble?

Something I'm not clear on; why do you enter Krup when you're on the way to Tonoe? If memory serves, you'll warp there anyway once Alys gets hit by the Black Wave after rescuing Demi, and that'll add it to your Ryuka list.

I think Atma's stance makes the most sense here.
...and possibly a crumbled wall at Crush Crawfish's stage where a heavy cannonball machine crashed through 4 or 5 floors - another container heart is there, too.
If memory serves, the Tornado Fang just bounces off of that; you need a Ride Armor to break through.

You guys clearly know what you're doing, but I just wasn't entertained by this run. I don't know why not. Meh vote.

You can also get Wiredines and Arthropods to combine into Lifedeletrs at the Weapon Plant on Dezolis. Or would Holyword maybe work on Prophallus? If so, there's a real simple way to power up.

Okay, I ran some numbers for you. Typically, Tsu with Shadwblade on a level 4 Chaz does about 450 damage, and Chaz has enough TP for three uses, so that's about 1350 damage. When you fight The Profound Darkness, Raja can refresh that three times with Ataraxia, for an average total of 5400 damage. Thing is, in the current run, Chaz's total damage output in that fight is around 8200, so unless you plan to abandon the Shadwblade during that fight, you need some other way to make up the damage gap. I think FreshFeeling's suggestion about yoinking Hahn's MahlayDggr would be the best way to do that. It would give Raja something to do as well.

IIRC, Medic Pw would revive everyone who's dead, so that'd bring back Chaz as well, so that's another free hit because he needs to be dead at the end of the fight.

I think "improvements are known" is a bad grounds for rejection, unless the movie is also poorly played, which this one clearly is not. Plenty of movies have been published with improvements known. (For example, Chef Stef's 120-exit Super Demo World; he didn't use 1/1 swimming because it wasn't discovered until he was well into the run.) Adding another yes vote to the pile.

Holy cow, just how out-of-date is the current run, anyway?

I remember reading in meteor9's LP that you have to be very careful when you level your characters to 99 because of the rollover bug, which implies to me that stat gains at level-up can be manipulated. If this is the case, you can manipulate Chaz to not gain MTL as often as possible, and get him to a higher level than 5.

Google Translate is doing a fairly good job here. You could fall back on that.

Eagerly anticipating encodes of this, as my computer can't run SF64 in Mupen at acceptable speeds. EDIT: I'd like to go on the record as thinking that you shouldn't sacrifice your wingmates for more kills unless it's a significant number. (10 or more, IMO.)

Is it a complete run of the game? (i.e. does it play from power-on all the way to the credits?) If it's not, there's almost no way it'll be accepted here. Est-ce une exécution complète du jeu? (c.-t-il jouer à partir du pouvoir sur tout le chemin à des crédits?) Si ce n'est pas, il n'y a presque aucun moyen ça va être accepté ici.

What are everyones' Christmas/holiday plans this year? Christmas Eve, I'll be seeing my uncle, my brother and his girlfriend, and their son. Christmas Day, I'll be seeing my grandparents and some other family members who are also likely to show up at my grandparents; don't know who all will be there.

Got something that might help you in your next attempt. According to Meteor9's Let's Play of PSIV (specifically, see here) the Shadowblade you can find from Shadowsabre's in Zio's Fort has stats so high that it causes Chaz's stats to roll over to lower than base when it's equipped; but if he's level 1, his stats will be low enough that they won't roll over and it'll make him extremely powerful.

This may be a bit too complicated, but how about categories based on how often glitches are abused in addition to the severity of the glitches abused?

Personally, I think the glitch categories should be "abuses minor glitches" and "abuses major glitches." For example, ISM and Mister's new SMW run is labeled with "Major glitch abuse," which is a bit misleading, because while there is a major glitch abused, it's only abused once.

Well, Saturn labeled his Super Metroid 14% Ice run with "Very high luck manipulation" and there were no complaints I saw, except for a few people laughing at him, so there's no reason you couldn't do it.

I was completely caught off-guard by the Dragon Coin glitch, after which I burst out laughing. Awesome job, guys. Yes vote.
