So for the Shinobi III speedrunners I had started a LOTAD for the No Kunai category of the game. However I started getting into it and am making a good effort at it. I do however notice that many parts are going to be quite similar to the original Any% TAS. Would this No Kunai be a good or a bad candidate for Moons?

Edit: The No Kunai would be using the 6 button mode for the game. The route would be a bit different since you cannot use ceiling clips with kunai. Zipping with dive kicks would still be used. There is a pretty restrictive wall clip, but it may or may not save time.
OK so I have found a clip that is much slower but acts essentially the Same as the kunai clip. This means that the run 's route is now essentially the same as the standard one. With not a lot of difference. So I will not be submitting this no kunai tas.

I think unlocking all ship types in a first playthrough would be nuts. You cannot get the other versions like B or whatever but that would certainly be impressive.

I think this game choice does not work for me. The main problems are that the game is too simple and repetitive. This is further compounded by the lack of super play for some mini games where the fastest option seems to be to just to immediately fail. So...No vote unfortunately.

So I watched this walking around past midnight where there was a slight shower. Unnerved me a couple times, but not more than some woman coming out of her car when one of the banshees came on screen screeching. Later a dog REALLY did not like that screaming, it started going nuts even a block away barking at me. Very atmospheric game like Silent Hill so I felt relief when you OOB'd out of that one situation. I also really liked the shooting work in here where it is very spastic and yet perfectly precise. Good Tas!

Wow really enjoyed that one.
Ecco, a grilled dolphin, constantly is speeding through solid objects and other seafood at highspeed. Shark fins, eels, perch don't stand a chance at all. This movie basically is an all you can eat smorgasbord of delicious seafood. WARNING: don't watch on an empty stomach!
Lots of strange clips and glitches throughout. The part starting where you get abducted by aliens and then perform a bunch of wall bounces and high speed clips around 23:00 is the best part of the movie.
Maybe verging on stars or a high Moon? Only part I thought was a bit boring was the weird part with the tubes of water with the static background around 3:30. Also the autoscroller section near the end.
Oh yea also mandatory political message:
TIGER KING FOR PRESIDENT 2020!

Really well done. Anyone that has played this will understand the excessive luck in this run and how it is very obviously a tas. Seeing that last three bars of health at 3:39 is so teasing though, wish there was some way to knock those out then. Like the double KO too. Yes vote.

So I have a couple concerns. Like at 5:40 was there really no better play then to go straight left and wall jump to throw? At times like 13:24, 15:30 I notice that your unit is already far inside the touchdown zone when he receives the ball. I would think the ideal setup would be to get tackled or land as soon as he touches the touchdown zone. Instead of waiting until they are inside.
With regards to the wall-jump plays, the reason why I had to do that play there is that I was doing a challenge which required getting 2 wall-passes and 2 wall-diving touchdowns to win. As such, running to the wall, passing, and then diving into the endzone is the fastest kind of play I could have done there.
As far as the 2-point conversion plays go, the delay was probably there to manipulate the next play to be more favorable for me. A lot of times, a delay of a frame or two can make a big difference in how far into the endzone you throw the ball. However, this doesn't make very much of a difference in how soon the player can catch the ball. How favorable of a play the computer calls on defense there is also based on the results of the last play, which in turn has to also be manipulated a lot to prevent a cutscene from playing after scoring a touchdown.
Ok I was not realizing the wall jumps were necessery.
Also I do realize also that some of these sports games really cheat too. Seems to be rampant in the football games I have tried over the years. Guess you have to wait until those passes would work out.
What about diving into the touchdown zone though? Is that faster than just running in?
