This is the real problem. We've got great coders working on this site - however, the majority of them are working on perfecting the TAS abilities of current tasable emulators.
The question isn't whether or not to add TASability, its "who has any friggin time these days?"

Hey, Upthorn - have you considered including a checksum of the bios with GMV files? It may solve some of these problems.

Great speed, fun glitches, everything a sonic video should be -
highlights- watching cc1 glitch for the first time.
watching sonic run past the camera in QQ3 for the first time.
Sonic bored and waiting for ______ _____.
Sonic bored with Amy Rose.
Best ending I've seen for a game, possibly ever.
Also, tidal tempest desync'd on V2 bios. V1 bios sync'd fine.

If that is the case, you might as well have let it a) die on its own via rejection, or b) simply told alden about it and had him add it despite it not being gruefood.
But whatever.
While a) goes against the entire idea of this submission - b) is a very viable option, and I wish I had thought of that first.
Additionally, the only thing this hurts is arbitrarily increasing the # of submissions on the site - it doesn't bog down the actual queue, because it left the queue extremely fast.
I also personally wanted to see this TAS, and others might too. Sorry if it offends anyone.

Because, it is an interesting movie to some, it will eventually be submitted, if not by me, than by someone else, and everyone will say the same thing - it's not that different from a real-time playthrough. Plus, since alden now maintains gruefood delight- I thought it would be the best place for it.
Additionally, since I don't believe it deserves publication - I didn't want everyone thinking I was trying to actually considering it would get published.

I hate how new games incorporate a 'training session' into every new game.
It's gonna be a bitch to TAS xbox, 360, ps2, and etc games someday, because the training missions CAN'T BE SKIPPED.
Does anyone else play a brand new game (GTA4, assasin's creed, etc) and think about the TAS?

Also, the rules saves 68.325 (approximate rounding) pages of arguments as to what difficulty a popular game should be played at. Granted, as the bossdude said, exceptions are made when it doesn't aid the video.
Having the rule set just makes judging a movie that is some # of frames faster than the hardest difficulty an easier decision.
Also, rule 76.

I've yet to see a 'realistic' depiction of Megaman that matches what I think the character looks like.
I mean, megaman's fist/gloves/boots/etc are all the exact same size as his torso. Stubby legs in big boots...

I've heard Chrono-Trigger enthusiasts refer to Chrono cross as something like the black plague. I haven't played either, but wondering why this is on the list, since Chrono Trigger is such a loved game.
Wait, is the question 'good' sequels, or 'better than the predecessor' sequels?
Plus NO ONE has mentioned Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi, or Revenge of the Sith (as a sequel to the prequel movies, to avoid the inevitable fight this will cause.)

Wouldn't it be easier to ask what is the *greatest* sequel you have ever seen? Because by default *all* sequels are bad, and only very few ones are even barely good. Every single sequel in the world has people who hate it (and usually the reason is because it didn't continue the original exactly in the way they wanted it to continue it).
Another alternative: Which generally liked and acclaimed sequel in fact sucks big time in your opinion?
If I had to answer to the latter question, it would undoubtedly be Evil Dead 2. Everyone praises it, yet IMO it's just a horrid caricature of the first Evil Dead. (A splatter movie which censors the splatter by panning it off-screen? WTF?) The whole movie is just a completely ridiculous alternate-universe-semi-remake-semi-notquite-sequel to Evil Dead. *blergh*
I didn't really enjoy either Evil Dead Movie, the 3rd of the trilogy is a complete departure, but one of my favorite movies of all time.

Looks really good. One last thing to try - in the red cave, you have to jump past the one door, to jump up - could you use the same punch glitch to get there faster?

Uh, why are you posting cryptic references that only some would get on a public message board? Are we playing some cypher-hacker net game? Or is this some sort of elitist way of communicating with your free-mason brothers?

I worked on it a bit... getting stuck on the current battle. It's getting more difficult - I think the first run won't be the final. The Power Water in the first temple is too valuable. Also hoping mithical will finish his real-time run, to help me along.

Oh, by the way: It takes 10 days to search for the sceptre, so ....
Clearly, you don't know much about ye olde government work. It takes at least 3 forms (scrolls in days of yonder) to get permission to search for the scepter, which you can clearly see sticking out of the bush. Once you 'search' the area, and by search, I mean point out the considerably obvious observation that it is, in fact, sticking out of said bush, you need to call the ye olde union.... God knows you can't let non-union workers do the job of card holding union member scepter carriers. However, since vacation days comprise at least 90% of all days of the year, you have to wait 4 days for the scepter carriers to get back to work. Then, you yourself need your vacation days, so that takes the remaining 3 before the scepter can be moved 100 feet in to the castle. This is how good gov't work gets done.
I really prefer the silly explanation to this movie then anything serious.

Your idea for avoiding explosive combination looks good, but I think you risk having the top 5 paths being small variations of the same route (instead of different paths with similar values), so there might be room for improvement hiding on this technically perfect run.
Unfortunately, they are all the exact same route.
After figuring out the 'optimal' route, I then replay the battle and record -
Character Agilities (or possible agilities)
Character position (start and end of round)
Character level gains
Who kills who
Who targets who
Rules (i.e. who must go before who)
Then, I put all of this into a big program that takes 10-20 minutes to run, (varies based on battle) and it spits out the fastest one.
This only optimizes the cursor movement, not the rules, or the character placement in battle. I can already tell you 12 frames could be saved in the General Elliot battle by placing Balbaroy 1 square up and 1 square left on his 2nd to last move.
Hence why this is only optimal luck for the placements and rules I chose, and I can guarantee that there are probably more mistakes in both. However, even saving 60 frames per battle won't bring this below 2 hours.
(The only battle I guarantee is fast as possible is battle 1)

For this run, I like to think of the King as being a forgetful, paranoid, senile old fart.
'Evil Wizards have stolen my scepter!'
'No, actually, you dropped it outside, on your last walk. Here you go.'
