Bleh. The weird/stupid wording of the voting questions costs me a buck! Oh well. JXQ, if you want you can substitute that buck for any number of European moon sheckles. They might be tougher to send across the atlantic though, but I'm sure we can work something out. And Zurreco, most of the time I think in US currency anyway, even say when I'm at the store here in Sweden I'm like "uh huh so this thing costs $3.50, sounds reasonable". Because that's the currency I deal with most of the time, it's become a habit even when I should be thinking in SEK.

There hasn't been much talk about a star yet, but this is a super obvious star run, right? Considering the insane quality of play, how perfect it is for new people to watch and the game's popularity. Right?

Yoshi flight is weird. While flying, when you press <- (to catch air), Yoshi turns around so you're suddenly flying backwards (but still flying in -> that direction, only facing <-). This results in an uncontrollable situation on console, what you need to do is basically to catch air and right afterwards press the opposite direction, to turn Yoshi around again, so this process can be repeated. Pretty much impossible to do consistently without slowdown.

You may see Yoshi fly when my run is finished ;)

I predict a new record for yes votes without any No or Meh, by the way.

Dude, Kind of a long submission text don't you think?

I'm done with the special worlds and am currently at Donut Plains 2. Progress is generally slow, I'm not enjoying this very much at the moment. Let's hope it changes.

The much more important question is WHEN WILL THIS BE DONE!

How much faster was JXQ compared to Teri's run?

First of all, I traveled through Bålsta earlier tonight (I live in Västerås). Neat. Second of all, this (general) topic has been bugging me for some time. It surprises me that so many of you don't want this to be published. I'm not saying you're wrong or anything, I just would've thought more people would vote yes. If this run and Genisto's old run were encoded and ready for publishing at the same time, which one would you guys want to appear on the site? Why? If your reason for voting no here is because you don't want to take up the time of the encoders who have more significantly improved (compared to what's possible), or new, movies to encode, and we all know how long the ready for publishing que is etc, that's fine and reasonable. If it's because you think Genisto's version looks better, I guess that's fine and somewhat reasonable too. If it's because you like Genisto and tend to favor the old timers and their movies, that's not fine and unreasonable. If it's because you don't think the improvement is good enough (probably the case for most of you), I think it's hard to justify, encoder timesaving issues aside (which I addressed earlier). Edit: I guess the point I want to make is this: Given the choice, why would we not choose the slightly better run over the slightly worse one? Assuming even better runs are known to be possible, that is. Also, the existence or non-existence of a princess-only category is irrelevant and a seperate issue, so don't comment on that please.

Nope, nothing. I'm at home visiting parents + sister over easter, doing nothing but watching tv and playing piano. I was ranting about how much I wanted to learn a particular song in the irc channel earlier, and now that I got home, I have. So that's something, but no SMW stuff, no. I'll get back on saturday or so.

Awesome run, especially the Draygon fight! You seem to work on this around 20 hours a day otherwise I just can't explain how you can progress that fast man. :-)
JXQ is an absolute beast when it comes to speedrunning. We all knew this even before he started this run, and it's just becoming clearer and clearer :)

Update: I have just now changed back to my regular boring blue background. It was fun while it lasted though! SMW Update: I actually did a level today! How exciting! Tompa, I understood just fine. Thanks :)

I'm using 1.43 v9. When I go to Cheat -> Search for new cheats, every Address, Curr. Value and Prev. Value looks like this: ¨é| instead of what they should be looking like. I just tried it in an older version (1.43 v7 I think) and it was working fine, problem is of course there's no Watch function there. Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? Thanks.

JXQ, Not that impressive dude. Also, you work kinda slow.

I have a few alternative WIP sharing ideas I'd like to contribute. No seriously, it's no big deal either way.

I agree with Guybrush, painful as it is to say. I can't control myself when they're just a mouse click away, but I'd prefer not having seen too much already when it's submitted.

Update: I have now been using my new enchanced spiced-up background more than a day. I constantly forget about it though, so every time I close down all windows on one of my monitors and see it, I die a little inside. I will not be changing back for at least a few more days. SMW Update: Nothing.

Just watched the end. Like I've said several times already, this is very impressive. You made that last boss look quite easy :) In reality it's not, at least not for me. Voting yes of course.
