If you mean this ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ku6UP_w-hqw&t=35m48s ), then it is in every publication encode of Mega Man X.

This TAS (and probably the any% one) would greatly benefit from having a map encode. May be tricky to pull off though.

I watched this some time ago. Like everyone else would probably say, nice improvement. I did a side-by-side comparison, and the run pulls ahead of the older one for good (that's the 487 frames referenced in the submission text) when the new run enters the back again and the old one gets the card from the truck. Though I don't find Metal Gear as entertaining, I still think that this submission should inherit the tier of its predecessor, which happens to be Moon.

There's no rule that the MVP award can't be given to a member of the losing team. In fact, it happened once. But you're right. They just don't give Super Bowl MVPs to a member of the losing team. By the way, from Wikipedia: "The winner is chosen by a fan vote during the game and by a panel of 16 American football writers and broadcasters who vote after the game. The media panel's ballots count for 80 percent of the vote tally, while the viewers' ballots make up the other 20 percent."

This doesn't feel complete by any means. If it is only one level, then I think it should be rejected.

I'm more interested in why HappyLee chose to remove the text of that page. Did something happen on 2011-02-15 that caused him to do so? In any case, I'll remove the page soon. Edit: Strange. No sign of backlash or anything. Maybe he only decided not to maintain the page anymore.

I haven't played a lot of games other than those on Xbox/Xbox360. The games are not particularly difficult on default difficulties, but hardest difficulty is another matter entirely. The hardest I find are Halo 2 on Legendary difficulty, and Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare on Veteran difficulty. The former, because it is easy to die and the enemies are often very hard to kill; the latter, because it is even easier to die, the AI is unfair, and there are insanely low time limits on some levels.

This game is now way broken. If it wasn't already. Yoshi disappearing, or turning into Chuck, and other crazy stuff. Yoshi wings coming out of nowhere. I suppose the dragon coins have something to do with that glitch.

Although I hardly ever watch TASes of Legend of Zelda games, I watched this a while ago and it was very good. This TAS gives hope that games can be broken in ways never before imagined. Adding yet another yes vote.

Any thoughts about whether this submission could be accepted for Vault? Even though it is mostly board game, it does have a story mode and an ending.

Looks great. It is clear that a lot of effort has gone into this run, especially planning out everything. However, it might not be as entertaining to someone who doesn't have any idea of the planning that was involved.

I refrained from posting about it for the past year, but I'll delude myself no longer and be blunt about it. I am not working on any Mega Man X TAS. I will not continue the latest WIP. Rolanmen1 is not working on it either.

OK, I see what it is supposed to be. The blue electricity shows up using TAS Soft Graphics Plugin 0.2 (and possibly other graphics plugins). It seems possible to crop that part and overlay it into the encode that uses P.E.Op.S. Soft Driver 1.4.

Interesting TAS. Syncs with version 1.0 as antd described above. However, I noticed something weird. The part at about 27 minutes and 20 seconds is where the player appears to destroy the entire screen with a Windows Paint™ beam. Is it really supposed to look like that?

For me, it seems good at first, but it gets old quickly. Spikestuff, I have a couple questions. - Is it possible to choose a mode with less stages? - Is it possible to manipulate the stages to get the better (mostly shorter) minigames? Also, it might be a good idea to do two players. That might be more interesting.

I don't know if this solves anything, but someone mentioned on IRC that recording starting from savestate/now doesn't work. Only starting from reset works.

What makes me more puzzled is that this got a Moon tier. How?
Looking back at the discussion prior to publication, I see that only one person said anything suggesting that it was less than entertaining. In addition, 19 of 22 votes are for Yes. As it turns out, this publication is the lowest-rated current Moon publication on the site, at 4.6 . Its entertainment rating is 4.3 and its technical rating 5.5 . It is in a higher tier than publications like [2190] DS Metal Slug 7 by mtvf1 in 21:27.77 [1356] SNES Battletoads & Double Dragon: The Ultimate Team "2 players" by White Gastra in 17:50.27 [853] NES Ghosts 'n Goblins by Arc in 08:23.13 [984] NES Arkanoid "warps, demo glitch" by Baxter in 04:26.28 [1225] NES Karnov by adelikat in 08:58.50 which are all currently in Vault. This says something about how much we should trust the vote poll and the posts in submission threads.

The technical rating sort in the Movie Filter doesn't seem to order the movies correctly. http://tasvideos.org/Movies-Moons-RatingQ-NoScreenshot-NoTier-NoFlags.html According to what I see, [1836] 32X The Amazing Spider-Man: Web of Fire by Aqfaq & mmbossman in 06:45.48 is first with a tech rating of 7.5 . [2230] A2600 Phoenix by Lollorcaust in 00:18.15 is next with a tech rating of 5.5 . [2062] N64 Super Mario 64 "70 stars, no Backwards Long Jump" by Jesus, Kyman, MICKEY_Vis11189, MoltovM, Nahoc, snark, sonicpacker, ToT, CeeSammerZ, coin2884, Eru, Goronem, Mokkori, Nekuran, Nothing693 & pasta in 42:58.52 is somewhere in the middle with a tech rating of 9.5 . Edit: By the way, the rating sort options attempt to sort movies even if they have less than three votes (which means the rating is not shown).

If you mean a few edits being assigned a Unix time of 0, well, we don't know how it happened. But it hasn't happened any time recently, so no one cares.

I loaded BizHawk 1.4.0 with the movie from this Game Gear submission. It reports a SHA1 of D23A2A93. That does not look like SHA1 to me. It looks more like CRC32. This information is in the movie file's header. Just a report. Edit: BizHawk 1.4.0 also reports D23A2A93 as a correct checksum for "SHA1" for that submission and the ROM I have.

This is some really slow and long fetch quest. It has also been purged of just about every minigame, by selecting a menu option to skip them. Based on the reaction from the previous submission's thread, and the reaction (or lack thereof) here, there is no doubt that, if it were to be published, it would be in vault tier. The question is, should runs like this be accepted for publication?

But only in English. And only the spelling "Kaizo". In Japanese, 改造 means reform/remodel, or in the context of video games, game mod/ROM hack. It doesn't mean anything more specific than that.

The totem skip works pretty well. I have a question. Why do you change to Yammar Option through the menu instead of using weapon switch buttons?

.........OK. Wasted at least three hours trying to sync the movie (not counting the time needed to obtain an ISO three times). This run should have been accepted two weeks ago. It might have taken another week had I not thought of documenting the video plugin settings. You can thank the plugins' GUI designers for that. On another note, this run syncs well with Eternal SPU Plugin 1.41 despite being a 3D game (though that was without running kkapture, but I don't think it is any different with it), so encoders can use that for encoding.
