So you submit a movie without any intent to see it published. Established members can get away with a few joke submissions, but new members tend to get labeled as trolls. Why shouldn't we label this a troll submission?
Why? I don't understand. (The only thing not using frame advance causes is to make your life more difficult.)
Do you want any TAS you make to be published on this website?
We do not allow save-anchored movies.
The movie must be of an acceptable technical quality
Don't be lazy. We will try and beat your movie. We should hopefully not succeed. See the Guidelines on how to make a movie that meets site standards.
Sorry, but this doesn't meet the site rules. Voting NO and hoping your submission privileges are revoked.
we are busy either doing other games, making encodes, maintaining the site, coding emulators ect...
we arent looking for quantity, or you would see already a run for every game made, we look for quality
You are saying never post again if I don't use frame advance? I am against it. Some people like cheese on their burger some people don't. Some people like frame advance other don't.
I don't understand you, the whole purpose of this site is to complete games as quickly as possible, and choosing not to use a tool to complete a game quicker is idiotic.
Furthermore, using your refusal to use frame advance is a poor excuse for a badly optimised and slow run - the Mario Kart Wii TASers have produced excellent results without the use of frame advance, but with tireless work and extensive patience - something you don't seem to have.
Please carefully consider all of the above statements before making another TAS.
If you aren't using all the tools available to you, why bother at all? Frame advance is both a legitimate tool and a necessary one for producing optimised and entertaining TASes.
If you're also not willing to test everything you can within a game (indicative of the low rerecord count), then there's another reason why people are dismissive of you. TASing is not just a case of do things once, you need to take the time to test many things in order to improve the video towards the movie's goal - which doesn't necessarily have to be fastest time, but something clearly defined (look at SDR's UMK3 TAS for example, he doesn't go for fastest time there but attempts to demonstrate every character as well as the various glitches and combos in the game).
I do hope you take this post in the spirit it was intended - constructive criticism.
See what we have here boys and girls is someone that is not a complete dick. Here let me type this again so everyone can see it
THE FIRST SPEED RUN I POSTED WAS A MISTAKE I PUT THE WRONG MOVIE IN THE ZIP FILE. THE SECOND MOVIE I HAVE TO ADMIT WAS SLOPPY AND LAZY-ILY MADE.

Right off the bat your run's going to get rejected.
Re-record count: 809
*Ugh*
You've already submitted 3 runs to the site in a matter of days. I beg of you to do 2 things:
1) Watch some starred runs on the site. This way you'll understand the amount of work and dedication required to make a publishable TAS.
2) If you don't know what frame advance is, make it your best friend.
Ok let me say this the first TAS I put the UMK3 in 8 minutes I accidently put the wrong video in the zip file. The 11 minute UMK3 TAS was sloppy yes but once again that was my first TAS. And last I WILL NEVER USE FRAME ADVANCED
And if my NBA Jam run is sloppy or horribly (because I know the hint you are putting out) then why don't you make one? And yes 803 re-records are a little low I know but why don't you just watch the fucking the movie?
LETS ALL JUMP TO CONCLUSIONS!!!!
I read your guys post and looking back at my movie I do have to admit i was VERY lazy about this movie, not much to it, ect. ect. But I am just going to say fuck it and make a NBA Jam TAS. There is no NBA Jam TAS up so it will be good. Maybe take a few days to make it instead of an hour to make it :P
What is the point of TAS'ing this game anyway?! There's ~28 NBA teams to go after, so are you trying to aim for fastest time?! Based on everything vykan12 said, are you trying to throw in a lot of speed/entertainment tradeoffs anyway?!
Another thing that gets me is programming passwords. There is a good chance that everytime you enter initials, you have to enter the passwords that the game gives you. I don't think this will do that to you in T.E.
i trapped a dude in the corner for a while and kept pushing him while he is down and i started working on it and everytime the other team had the ball i would just steal it back god i feel like the seagulls from finding nemo... MINE!
EDIT: So should I just go with it and whatever comes out comes out?
Does anyone have any tips or tricks I used to play this game ALOT back in the day but do not remember much anymore about it...and being that there is no NBA Jam TAS I would like to do one.
