I would like to do the SNES and GBA versions sometime, when I can "get my hands" on them. But the NES version is the one I know best, and it's my baby :) England at 870 frames: http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/2098/Allstars%201047%20England%20836.fcm Being able to hit the entire team with Sam's Blaster at the beginning helped a lot. edit: messed up frame count

http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/2095/All-Stars%20in%201047.fcm I optimized the All-Stars run for 1047 frames (a gain of 36 frames over my last run). The damndest thing is that, as I said, doing things any quicker in the opening causes the CPU to catch my attacks. What's more, Steve (the outside man) actually has to wait 4 frames to attack Tom, otherwise the attack, while doing the same amount of damage, won't kill him. :/ Using this current strategy, I believe 1047 frames is the best I'm going to get.

Thanks. :) http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/2094/SDB%20to%20India.fcm Getting Swami off the team was definitely worth it, as I beat India in 1354 frames (vs. totori's 4786). There's certainly room for possible improvement, particularly where Sam kills Rajiv. The actual run I'll present will be optimized as hell after I figure out the controls near-100%, but the thing is throwing balls as quickly as possible actually works against you, as it will either be caught or whiff entirely pretty much every time. All the apparent delays in the movie (such as Sam walking down at the beginning of the All-Stars match) are done in order to a) manipulate the CPU to not catch throws, and b) manipulate the target of Super Throws. edit: Optimizing this run is more involved than it first appears. For example, just now, I was able to kill Fred a full 7 frames earlier, however the ball bounced in such a way that Jack was still walking towards the stationary ball at the point where Jack had already thrown the ball in the run above. It's a pain.

Thanks, Dromiceius! :) Finished England in 950 frames, which is much better than totori's 1432. Next is India, which will probably be quicker since I can make sure Swami's not on the team.

I completed All-Stars in 1083 frames, which is a 50-frame improvement over totori's. I feel as though I could do better, probably under 1000 if I really tried; but it would take a long time of analyzing computer reactions to my moves and the All-Stars stage has the worst lag in the game. Should I accept my current score and gun for a better one next time, or should I try for the under-1000?

Hi guys! I've been watching your (amazing) speedruns for a very long time and I decided to do my own. I picked Super Dodge Ball because back when I was playing the NES it was my very best game (and I've written an FAQ on it). Then when I got on this site, I did a search and noticed a user by the name of "totoro" was doing one as well; I'm using his as a basis for comparison. It's not bad (even though he thinks it's terrible), but I'm gonna shoot for under 10 minutes. I see it as very doable. I'm taking it step by step as it is my first, and it's a WIP. Right now I've killed Fred (the first guy in the All-Stars team) at 350-ish (totoro killed him at 460-ish). Working on how to manipulate luck and such. Wish me luck ;)
