I would like to nominate RiYAN and CoolHandMike's Demons of Asteborg for stars. We put a lot of work went into it, and it looks great. Think it would fit into the star category nicely. https://tasvideos.org/Forum/Topics/24820

Going to give thus a yes vote since it is done really fast with some good moments. I just wish the game devs put in more variation.

Why did you not use the 2x speed (spacebar) option?
It was considered a cheat code more than ten years ago. I think it's fair anyway to accept as is.
That judgement looks really arbitrary, if anything such simple usage would have been intended part of gameplay since it is not hidden in any way and is by default mapped to spacebar, a very standard button with no special configuration needed to use it. Also, an already trolly and spastic game being played at 2x is more suited for tases imo. For this game why not have two branches?

What a bizarre trolly game. I enjoyed it I guess? Meh ...but knowing this was done in Hourglass made me slightly more entertained for some reason. Why did you not use the 2x speed (spacebar) option though?

Noticed this submission says judging underway but it has been 3 weeks and no update. Does the judge have any questions or concerns for me?

The knockdowns in the Mr. Sandman fight are to get Sandman to throw his 3-uppercut move when I get up. This move allows me to deal the most damage in the shortest amount of time, which is also why this is used in the original game.
Ok I guess things are a bit different when you get knocked down in one hit regardless.

You got knocked down several times 14:20 and 14:45 after purely dodging for a long time. Is that really the best way of doing that fight?

Very nice! Liked that assembly breakdown and with that explanation it makes sense how it works. Yet another game that been beaten in a bizarrely fast way. Yes vote.

Liked that one. Interesting velocity keeping mechanics in this flash game. Easily kept my attention through it. Definitely see the influence of that Tower of Heaven in this. Yes vote.

I too had created a video tutorial playlist for bizhawk and tasstudio. This might help. https://youtu.be/AzDjBO7_fWk
Omg, thanks your reply. But I'm already know how to use TASStudio. Just having trouble with higher tech things. Example search RAM and write scripts
Meant to paste the playlist. Contains ram watch and scripting as well. https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFpQiGLusn-aq-z-noMJ7rj9sG3jT3cvW

That was pretty cool actually for Atari 2600! The new version with the wall zipping was an improvement and reminding me of Shinobi 3 wall zipping. Would have been a Yes vote even without the new improvements though.

That was an easy yes vote for sure. This was my favorite game of the series and had some of my favorite levels like the airport and the cruise ship. You destroyed the game.

Very nice. Did not know you could use that feather on top of that tower in stage 2. Right now flip flopping around stage 6 and 7. The pyramid level really does not have ANY shoes at all or pretty much any items which is lame.

You just have to damage them for them to show. Like throw a kunai. But I guess some have other hidden conditions? Interesting.

Hi all How can this hidden big heart be obtained? It seems this one has a certain condition.
Can you use the lightning shield and walk onto it or into it?

That is a pretty unique looking older game. I had heard of this Vectrex years ago and it is cool to see a tas of one. Yes vote.

This was very good! 8:00 and 18:00 with the multiple characters you can switch between was great. Must have taken some effort to get that fast for those. It is too bad those boss fights could not be sped up though. Yes vote.

I'm not sure if it exist, but I hope one day I can find a game with only a single menu bug at the very beginning, then submit 2 runs as "glitchless" and "any%".
Hah, there is certainly the possibility of a lot of bad faith submissions, but somehow I do not think there will be too many of these since tasing is really time consuming. Most games are not so easy to optimally tas due to routing, rng, and lag. Maybe some really simple games are really easy to do multiple submissions with a glitchless though. I do think that those bad faith submissions like your example should be chucked in the garbage though since it is super low effort with basically no difference in the final result. Feels like creating a lot of noise and extra work for people for no benefit. Those submissions should just go to userfiles. Edit: Maybe there should be a "gatekeeper difference" like there needs to be at least a 1% change between glitchless and not. To weed out these types of hypothetical submissions.

If this does pass, I will need to ask, for multiple games, what counts as a bug. For instance, Jurassic Park (NES) doubles your need for 1 single frame every time you land. Am I supposed to minimize jumping in a glitchless run?
"Natural" glitches with really minimal impact like graphical glitches or that are just part of gameplay I would not count against a glitchless.

Yes vote. An improvement over the existing one https://tasvideos.org/5226M. This really is a very inventive smw hack. My only criticism is that I liked Darkman425's ending better where Mario runs off the ledge over just waiting for something to come and hit Mario like this one. Tasvideos has that last input for timing, and considering the different endings how much of an improvement is this one?

This really makes me appreciate the better versions of this game more. This does look well tased as limited as it is with the damage boosts. Would honestly not complain if the whole loading section at the start was just cut out. Yes vote.
