Uh, you share a name with a program for actual editing of TASes. This may be a problem. I'd suggest considering a different name.

One thing that has come to my attention is the amount of infrastructure work that Nach puts into the site, that goes largely unnoticed by the community. While, on a personal level, I'm not a fan of Nach, or his methodologies, I understand many of his decisions.
An additional note, I was given the impression that it was the opinion of many higher-ups that the Chess movie should be rejected. However, it falls on Nach's head to be the unpopular judge, and reject it. He serves a purpose, and does his job well. I've yet to see him reject a movie for any actual trolling purpose. As an aside, I fail to see how him accepting a Mega Man movie that is a clear improvement over a published movie is a problem. Yes, the arrogant tone is silly, but, it isn't negatively impacting the site.

I'd love to see 'list all submissions by this player' inside the profile box, and, as a pipe dream, list all movies published.
Right now, if you click on a profile, the circulum vitae only gives minimal information.

the NTSC version has an existing run by Cpadolf using a nearly same route that already reached the completion time limit on the game clock there
'nuff said.
Good call on the fast reject. Nip this in the bud before it becomes a silly mess of ridiculous arguments.
It appears to me that Saturn tries to choose categories in which obsolescence is unlikely.
http://tasvideos.org/Subs-506up.html
"New Game+"
"100%"
"One track only"
"glitchless low%"
and 2 speed/entertainment trade-off versions of Street Fighter 2.

Dooty, I doubt that it would be acceptable, as it is not a very interesting goal choice. Having 2 characters controlled with 1 controller would make for a very boring TAS. Additionally there are multiple examples of single TASers creating a multiplayer TAS. You may want to use FatRatKnight's multitrack script, adapted for SNES.

Thanks for the Encode.
Given how the author talked about the movie, I was expecting it to be slow paced. It was actually lots of fast action. Yes vote.

I thought it was well done and watchable - I'm surprised that this game was so short in the # of levels. Perhaps they added all the lag to make it longer?
Anyway, I gave it a yes vote.

Well, the NES uses an 8 bit parallel in, serial shift out register. This means you get a pulse to latch the current state of the controller, and then the NES sends clock bits to shift out the data. However, its already been discussed that some games read the controller more than once per frame, and any variation of the # of lag frames will totally disrupt a TAS. Additionally, I'm pretty sure the NES starts in a semi-random state, so even RNG-less games like SMB will do start at random places within the 21-frame rule, before the TAS even starts.

This movie has only 854 rerecords. Where is Randil when we need a WIP that is X frames faster?

Few questions that I remember off the top of my head
There is some weird motion in 1-5 at the end, after the HB is dead, and you had 2 non-matching cards, I couldn't tell if it took time, it just looked weird.
In general, airship boss rooms - is it possible to get P-meter speed, to get inside the floor?
6Airship - I'm not fully sure how the floor push works. Do you lose push-forward gains if you do it too early? Or once you are past, it lets you keep that? If so, would this path work?
7-1 It looks like there is a large pause when you first run at the pipe?
Not that any of this matters, still voting yes.

The way the controller works, you know exactly when the console is polling for input... How are you currently doing this, without that feature? Did you just solder directly to the buttons?

I've started this run, and come across a very unfortunate emulator glitch. At this point, I'm not sure the run is doable, as the emulator freezes every time you load on a lag frame... A savestate will work 5 times, and then you load, and bam, game frozen.
Anyway, here is a WIP of the first 2.5 levels.

Yes vote. This game tortured me as a kid. A few moments of playing, after I had watched your run, reminded me of how horribly painful the control system is.
You made it look easy.

So, for some reason changes aren't propagating to the forum. If you'd like to see the full discussion, check the submission.

Apparently, it was only made for Quiz type games, and at best, the DBZ games are 'choose your own adventure' games, which aren't very suited for this site.
Best of luck finding your team, but I doubt you will find much support here.

There is no mention of the use of MATLAB in the submission! That is a travesty of epic proportions!

Unfortunately, as far as I know, there is no set-speed command in VBA's lua. So a fast-forward script would be impossible.
Thanks for watching, mklip!

I think you can beat QFG2 without having to leave the city even once. However, fighting at least once allows you to skip Dinarzad, as I'm not sure if there's another way to earn the money required to buy the puzzle items.
You'd have to earn quite a bit of money, as you have to buy bags, incense, powder, the lamp, levitate or a rope (if you go the wizard route, you must do the WIT training, which is a big time sink for a speedrun). I think the money changer ends up being much faster than picking a fight. You get 105 dinars from the money changer, and that gets close to enough.
To beat the game as a thief, you need to purchase:
Lamp (10 w/bargain)
Waterskin (.5 bargain)
Cloth Bag (.2, bargain)
Incense (.7, can't bargain)
Rope (115 w/ bargain)
Map (not required, but saves tons of time, 1)
5 dinars to Unganate (sp?, not sure this is required)
You only need 3 daggers, two for Ad Avis, and 1 for the cave trials, which is well below the starting 5.
With the 105 to start, plus one omar reading at 50, gives you enough for everything.
I'd start with a thief with magic, just for fetch for the bellows.

There can be more tool-assisted to the world than just TASVideos.
Came here to say this. This idea isn't a bad one, it just isn't really what TASVideos is about. I mean, the tagline is "When human skills are just not enough"; not "When human skills are just about right"
Sorry, I had to make that joke.
