Sorry it took so long before I decided to post a WIP. I have other projects
you maybe know. Like Toki! Have much work to do with Highness! Anyway,
here is finally, a WIP:
http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/3012/FF3%20by%20Diman.smv
You probably think this is a better TAS, cause I will not only improve it in
time, but also, (hopefully), in entertainment as well!
I wrote somewhere in the topic I think, that I'm going to use both the
supercombo, and the specialcombo more often... At least I'm going to use
the specialcombo more often, that's for sure! ;)

Ok, thanks for the advice, Truncated! I haven't learn how to use TAS movie
splicer yet but I will practise every day to figure it out! Maybe you understand
it better, Highness?
I will be home at 23:15 or something like that.
Oops! Sorry, I didn't know that you worked so late! Ok we can discuss
tommorow then!

Ok. Fun that I discovered a way to handle the program then! =)
And some other good news is that I have figured out a way how I can look
out for the two spears, which is very aggressive if you don't manipulate
them very well!... I will wait with a new post of a WIP cause, I don't want
to post short WIP's all of the time... Is better that I try to play longer OR
even finish stages!...
I like the idea about take every other stage... Do you think it sound
nice? Do you want to play the bosses maybe and I finish the rest of the
stages? Do you want to play much or little? These
are important questions that needs answers.. But you don't have to rush
with any answer! Take your time!.. Of course, we can improvise if
you suddenly want to play or know a faster route you want to show!..
Edit: I will log in at msn tommorow after the gymnasium. Maybe we can
have a talk there about the game! My msn is a little wicked so maybe I
won't come in! If I'm not there about 15:00 log in at time 19:00 instead
please! =)
And my nickname is "Diman" there also!
Bravo! Nice perusal again!! You truly deserve the nickname "Highness"
cause you truly are the king, your majesty! ;)
I will add that to my RAM-watch! Thanks! =)
Take care!

Ok! I can add you in my msn address. The address is
Majsuggla_@hotmail.com (so you know who is adding ya address (I know the
name of the address is crazy! :P). That's ok.
You can check it out some other time! ;)
Yes, I liked the analysis! And I have good news!! ;)
Remember when you told me that the game is a bitch when it comes to
hexediting? Well, I have learn how to master one hexediting-program so we
can actually get rid of mistakes we do in the movie! =D
It did work fine for me at least. The program I have knowledge in is EME (Emulator movie editor) v1.

Nice review of the game my friend! Something tells me that this is going to be terrific! ;)
Yes, now when I'm aware of the ducking thing, I always will use that
technique to reach the exits faster! And it sounds wise to not miss any
shots either, it looks much, much better that way! Why did I miss shots in
my run in the end? Cause I did loose it! I did become bitter in other words!
I was sad cause I couldn't kill the last boss, like the good way you did!
So now, when we divide the work somehow, I suggest YOU kill
Membrane, so it looks nice! ;P
I have started to make a run! It's not long cause I want your help (if you
have any ideas how I can handle the situation). What situation am I talking
about then? Well, first everything goes right.. I don't have to stop for any
enemies so far... But THEN (before frame 1876) two spears attack me,
and I was wondering, if you had any ideas on how I could manipulate this,
so I don't have to stop for them... Maybe it isn't possible, but before I
continue with the run, I want some feedback from you! ;)
How about we take every other (varannan), stage?
Things you must know, very important info:
* Still use Toki - Going Ape Spit (UE) [c][!].bin rom.
* Recorded our TAS, in gens_movie_9Z.
Cheers! =)
The run:

I'm surprised too. But I can understand why, since the judges must have
much work to do, when new movies almost daily shows up..! I have to live
with the fact, that the movie with most yes-votes goes first, and then when it
gets many, many yes-votes, it gets published! But I'm glad that you liked it
Dromiceius, and I'm also glad that this movie is accepted! =)

Yes AngerFist, but what I meant with that was, when I was done with Toki!...
All done!.. But screw that! I don't want any disappointments or
missunderstandings here, so I will actually have two projects going on! This
and Final fight 3! My two other projects (rockin' kats and super C) can wait! =)

With 6 YESes, I guess the next submission should be automatically accepted by default haha.
Thanks for your enthusiasm over this run xoinx! =)
Yes, I did cancel the submission cause it had flaws anyway! ;/
I will start a new TAS with Highness (if he still thinks it's a good idea) and you see the progress here, and I will
post a WIP soon!

You should enter initials at the end of the movie so that it reaches the "THE END" screen.
Bummer! I have never watched the credits in Highness movie, so I didn't
know anything about the highscore list! That's why I did stop the movie a
long time before the credits shows up! Good thing you report this Nitsuja!
But I don't have to cancel this one- but I don't know? =/
Maybe I should do a TAS with Highness if he still think that's a good idea!
If so, I should cancel this submission, cause the movie wasn't perfect
played anyway! I miss the crawling thing to reach the exits a lot of times, and
I could improve the boss fight at Membrane also! =/
Stage 8 boss looked like it could have been done faster.
I know. I'm not happy about that either. I will fix that in the next run! =)

Well.. It's stop in the production I think, if not AnS is working with the run,
but haven't posted any new WIP's yet... Poor AnS is doing all the work cause
I have hard to understand values in the game... You can ask him cause I
really don't know! =/
By the way: sorry for the late reply! I have some other projects going on
also, which I'm trying to taking care of! That's why I haven't checked out this
topic for a while....

No, no! None of you have to apologize! :P
In fact I feel stupid, and I should have figured that out myself! I don't
know if it just me, or an illusion, but it looked like Toki was pulling his body
back as you duck! So it looked like it didn't matter if you walked or
crawled! I'm not mad at you guys, I don't
care cause, the movie is not perfect anyway as far as I'm concerned! =/
But if you find out timesavers- please let me now! :)
I can have a big usage of that info for the next TAS! =)
The movie was good otherwise, I especially liked using the
enemies for platforms.
Thanks Truncated! And why not Highness? I would love teamwork to
master this almost impossible game!! =)
Edit: I discovered that you mentioned the crawling in your submission your
Highness! Bah! Why didn't I discover that earlier??! =(
It wasn't your fault at all!
Well, well!.. The good news at least, is that the movie is finally done!
http://tasvideos.org/1350S.html
Edit: I did cancel the submission. First I thought it was dumb to cancel it,
but then I thought it might be pointless to try to get my submission
accepted, when we want to do a new TAS! =/

It does help to duck to reach the goal faster.
Uh oh!! Damn! =O
And I thought it didn't matter if you walked or ducked, when you are going to
reach a goal! =/
I'm not good to use Ram addresses, so I use a framecounter to see the
fastest route, and what I could see it wasn't a difference what so ever...
But I belive ya, but why, oh why, do I get this information NOW? :P
If I'm doing an improvement of this TAS AFTER this run, I will have a
partner (if I can catch one on this site) cause I don't have the power to fix
a NEW TAS by myself where I fix the things Truncated was dissatisfied
about, cause there's probably more people which has the same opinions!

Yes.
You truly are! :P
Edit: Bah! Who cares? So what? I have not gone crazy for nothing! The
minor flaws gets covered by all the positive moments and fantastic stunts
in this movie! But if I am planning to do a new movie then I will fix the
negative things as well! ;)

Ok, thanks for the tip! ;)
Ok! Thanks! I'm impressed myself! :P
I'm done with level 7!! =)
I'm starting to work fast with the TAS cause I want to finish this game now,
cause I'm starting to be tired of it! :P
Here's a WIP:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/i10p5e
Stop the movie at frame 62970, exactly when the text "Player 1 stage 7 clear!!" shows up! =)
Only two stages left! =D

Congratulations to a successful and brilliant TAS!! =)
I am feeling touched and honoured that you put me in the list of special
thanks! I would never thought my TASes would be any help, but I guess I am
wrong about that! I love when you spinning around it looks beautiful and
when you make "X"-patterns with the ship! I also like when you use "options"
and shot many enemies!
Only thing you can complain about is when you miss
a lot of enemies! It would look more nice if you almost never did miss any
enemies! Overall perfect movie of course!! How does it feel with your first
movie with a star? =D

Thanks a million!! =D

Good show, although I wish you'd beaten Black with a
super. Voted yes.
Thanks for another yes-vote, Dasrik!
Unfortunately, you can't. I also wish I could have used a supercombo at
Black, but.. You must grab your opponent to make a super, but Black
refuse to be beaten in that way! :P
As a matter of fact, I was thinking to beat every boss by a super at the
end, but... You can't kill every boss in that way because of Black, and
that's to bad! =(
"No damage" is specified. It seems like it should be "Takes damage
to save time":
"No damage taken except from the supercombo which takes a little from
your health"
At least, I would feel that taking damage, even if it's from using a super
attack, is still taking damage... But then again, opinions differ.
I am also confused what you should call it! =S
I don't know why it says: "Takes no damage"?
I would say: "take damage for entertainment".
Why? Cause I don't think you save time to use the super, cause
the dash attack is faster... And to claim that I "take no damage" is a lie!
So.. "Take damage for entertainment" is best in my opinion! =)

Thanks, S@G! In that case I could work on a full completition of Predator in
the furure. I will create a topic about it, and post WIP's cause I'm not sure if
people like this idea...

Hehe! Man, you got the same taste of games as I have! Unfortunately
the "skip-Bug" you used (I called it "warp"-glitch) is not allowed, and Bisqwit wrote that in my
topic and he thinked it sounded like a debug feature, and not a
glitch. The strange thing is that I had more negative comments than you
(I think so) even though I was faster, but...On the other hand, your run is
maybe more fun than mine, and that is much more important. I haven't
looked at my run in a long, long while, but I looked at your run, and
it was good! Good luck if you want to do a full run of this game! If ya don't
want to do it, let me know so I can do it, (it will be a project futher in the
future).
Rules wrote:
Cheat-keys and debugging codes are not allowed
Such as Konami's up+up+down+down+etc sequence.
If the key sequence is mentioned in the manual as a normal means of playing, it is (usually) allowed.
This rule is not strict, but its motive is the same as in the guideline that says you should play at the hardest difficulty.

I have killed Eyesore in a terrific way! Looks awesome! Here is a WIP:
http://www.sendspace.com/file/70l6q5
I stop the movie exactly when Toki isn't visible anymore (when Toki goes
offscreen after finish a stage), the frame number is at that time 32474.
See you in the next WIP! ;)

Yo man! Well.. I've been working on this *bitchin'* game very much, and I
have discovered ways, on how I can save time at some places at level 4. ; )
Ignore what I wrote on my previous message, cause I will post a WIP when I
fix Eyesore instead! ;)
