I didn't know the 6% run uses SRAM corruption.
2) There is an unassisted attempt with the very same vehicle that beats yours by 6 seconds
I know the concern that this isn't the lowest possible % for TASing anymore, but the reason I'd rather see this over the 6% (current low%)? The scope of 14% is a hell of a lot more entertaining then watching somebody use the X-Ray glitch and slowly scroll up while flashing the X-Ray beam left, then right, then left, then right, then left, then right, then...you get the point.
The 6% run is BORING. This site is not only about speed, but ENTERTAINMENT! Let's not forget this people.
Though I'm willing to compromise and have both up and change 6% to a glitch run.
Anyway, I do think the run is worthy of publication in terms of quality, entertainment and being sufficiently different from the other runs published (as well as 14% being a very well known goal for many players). However I definitely see where the unwillingness to publish it comes from, as Super Metroid already has 3 categories and the goals of the run can be seen as somewhat arbitrary. If the sites administration is not yet willing to loosen up on the multiple categories policy, then the run should probably not be published, but if it is, I think that the run is well deserving of publication.
At the time I didn't understand why it was seen fit to have it split into two categories in this way, and I still don't understand it.
Do you find the Gradius runs as lame? They're easier than hell to do!
Hmm, I don't remember what's the requirements for this game to have the best ending. I noticed that in your movie, the last two portraits in the staff scroll were totally blank (and I wonder how to fullfill them). So you only got a good ending, but not the best.
If you're going to count it, count the whole cycles (i.e., the amount of frames you need to wait + one frame to press a button). If I understand what you're saying, then it's 5 damage over 12 frames (~25 dps) for crush and 2 damage over 5 frames (24 dps) for machine gun, which makes crush missiles win in the end as long as 5 damage output is consistent and you switch to machine gun for finishing shots.
I think the final sword will outcome this route, given youll be able to reproduce nearly same fight than this movie thanks to sword double jump, just slightly longer to achieve (still writting up the submition, will include this route)
Neither is true, only way to make the RNG advance is to kill an ennemy that drop something (killing an "empty" doesnt seem to advance it)
