Hum do you plan on having Slade on your team ? If so, you might want to be create his sword with instead death chance. It might be faster in the later battle if you can kill the enemies in one hit. You could keep the DarkSword for Lemon no ? Even if it's cursed, it might be usefull. You may want to take a look at the cursed weapon, if you can manipulate the fact that you will attack and not being stunt, if might be useful. I'm pretty sure you will keep Luke, even if he sucks hard, you need all the flying characters you can to go faster.
Do you know who you will get at Creed's house ? And I don't know if it's useful, but you can give a centaur a special item to promote them to flying character, maybe it could speed up the game. But the item is pretty far in the game. Are you planning on getting the Rumming Pimento item ?
My concern was more about the fact that you said "well he isn't even going to watch/enjoy the run so I don't care what he says" really detracts from your argument. You can't only listen to people who are going to be rooting for the run, or you will get a false positive.
Ultra in-depth discussions on windmill kicks to ninja faces.
should be translated to every language.
cute to see slade double atack and level up for max stats. seems like leveling is the theme here?
Unless it's luck manipulation, you moved Sarah over a character for no apparent reason on battle 5
I did watch your SF1 first submission, which I admittedly gave a 2 in entertainment. To be fair, I've only watched maybe 10 runs in the last year or so, mostly because I have been too busy to really watch anything that wasn't sloppily encoded in the Workbench/something of great interest to me. I'm not the hugest fan of the series, but I will still sit through the runs and give props where they are due. If you are creating runs for niche viewers, though, that's pretty silly. I would watch a 6 hour run of any game if it was entertaining. If you're going to start writing off the opinions of people who aren't just dying to see runs of games you like, I hope you don't take any opposition to heart. That being said, I think this debate has pretty much come to a stand still. The idea of using cheats to speed up games has been rejected in the past, but maybe there will be an exception for this. Let the judges decide how things will go from here.
This is dumb you're dumb.
I would gladly watch the run if it was interesting WITHOUT the need for speeding up cursor movement. If you can honestly say that the run would be good without changing anything, I don't see why you would need to implement the cheat in the first place. If you can't say that, I don't know why you would want the run up on the site.
That being said, don't assume. And don't ever bunch me together with Warp.
Nope. Otherwise, there would be argument to allow cheats that remove speed caps in games/unlock new weapons/etc. It's a slippery slope.
If someone takes someone else's movie and makes a very small change at the end which makes the movie a few frames faster, but otherwise completely identical to the previous, is it fair? He basically gets his name on a movie made by someone else. His only contribution was changing a few keystrokes at the end.
Lack of "print" console functionality in non-Gens emulators is probably the most annoying and debilitating difference I've noticed so far, though
saveme = savestate.create()
while memory.readwhatever ~= somevalue do
savestate.save(saveme)
emu.frameadvance()
end
savestate.load(saveme)
What are the license about these input files? I doubt that anyone would sue someone else for stealing his work by saying that they made the actual movie themself(even if this is a bit cheap)... so does it would be something around BSD, GPL or creative commons license? Some people are still asking if they have the right to post on youtube or wathever... and there some submision where the author doesn't seem to be around, so what they should do? Even if the input file is open-source his author may want add some restriction and I won't give example about this kind of tricky topic. Just adding something about this in FAQ and this may be clear some people mind.
However, there is a game where you put a ball under one of 3 cups allow someone to choose, then remove one which doesn't have the ball under it then ask them if they want to switch. I don't know the exact maths behind it but mathamatically it's always best switch because it doubles your chances for some reason.
I just want to add that even the really glitchy runs aren't as unrecognizably glitchy as some people are saying. For example, in the Sonic+Tails S3&K run, some people make it sound as if you're just watching walls fly by with Sonic nowhere in sight the entire time, when in fact over 80% of the movie length is totally normal (unusually fast, but otherwise normal) play.
