I usually don't find beat-em-up games to make interesting TAS's, but this breaks the mold enough to avoid repetition for me. Plus, beating the crap out of the other player always makes for an enjoyable time (see Battletoads) :D

I just meant that a submission that is obsoleted by 1 frame has the same impact on opinions / discussions about tiny obsoletions, regardless of whether it's been converted to AVI on this site or it hasn't. It's always been an irk of mine that, for example, we have Sonic the Hedgehog in 18:28, and it's "not obsolete", even though it really is obsolete if you look in the submission queue and find the improved version that hasn't yet been converted into an AVI file.

Submissions and publications are equally important in this type of discussion. Obsoletion is obsoletion whether or not there's an accompanying AVI file.

If he plans on obsoleting this movie, that wouldn't be a good idea.
Fair enough, but if he does, I'm quoting your post from Circus Charlie and pasting it in that thread. Phil, I just meant that adelikat is more than likely to redo the run if there is a legitimate mistake in it that is shown to him. You having good knowledge of the game puts you in a position where you could help improve the quality of the run (by finding and/or discussing those mistakes).

The previous movie was hex-edited some, and (I'm guessing) had an incorrect "number of frames" value at the beginning, which is what the site's submission system uses for the timing. It could be fixed by re-recording the last couple frames of that previous movie. FCEU would fix up whatever values weren't correct.

That might get tricky with the read-only toggle. Seems like it'd be easy to mean to go forward a few frames, but accidentally record over them. Bag of Magic Spam is annoying. I wish he'd shut up.

Though I've already told adelikat this: I do not think it is any more "mature" to uncancel Phil's submission, when he clearly doesn't want to do so himself, than for Phil to cancel this submission in the first place.

I love top 10 lists! Mystic Cave 1 on Nitsuja's Sonic the Hedgehog 2 run. The Big Boo Fight Flagitious & VIPer7's Super Mario World 11 exit run. Rash punting Zitz's corpse into the exit hole on the first screen of the snake pit in FODA's Battletoads run. Awesome on Fabian's Super Mario World 96 exit run. Parrot Chute Panic on Sami's Donkey Kong Country 2 run. The first non-town area played in Genisto's Bionic Commando run (the orange tower to climb). The SpeedMockSpringBall through the green Brinstar passage in my Super Metroid 100% run. The first Maverick level (I think) on parrot14green's Mega Man X2 run. The level 6 boss on adelikat's Gradius run. The last couple music tracks combining on Ash Wiliam's Contra 3 run.

Holy crap, I imagine this run would be a huge chore to TAS. I don't understand the rules of the game too well yet, but it's impressive to watch anyway.

Level 1 Bimmy: "Beating up all these women sure takes me back..." Weird-mask-guy: "OH NO, I'M DEAD (they don't know that I'm faking it! Soon I'll reappear very slowly, and then I will crush them! I'm so clever!)" Level 2 Bimmy: "Listen brother, we can do this! First, let's throw these guys off the roof. Then, we'll follow them down. I'm jump first, then you fall down this pit and die, and then..." Jimmy: "Why don't we just jump across to the next roof? Isn't that where we'll end up anyway?" Bimmy: "You have much to learn, brother. This is why I draw the blueprints." Level 3 Boss man: "We'll all escape in this other helicopter - the one without guns mounted to the front! Uh-oh, the Bimmy Bros. have jumped on board..." Flunkie: "I know, let's jump out of the cockpit and attack them in groups of two!" Big Dumb Guy: "I'll continually open and close the main door to help!" Level 4 Big Dumb Guy: "There's only one of me this time because my friend fell to his death in the room after this one. I'm not really sure why they designed that hallway to have conveyor belts above large pits. Seems like a safety issue to me. I've put in a suggestion to move Level 5's Danger! sign to that room. It would work better there, don't you agree? But, there's always a process to go through, and of course management is dragging their feet. Oops I'm dead." Level 5 Probably-not-heterosexual-green-shorts-guy: "I'll drive this train back and forth! No way to lose! And to top it off, I've got this really awesome music to listen to!" Really gay music: *plays* Probably-not-heterosexual-green-shorts-guy: "How did they beat the train strategy? Well, I guess we'll have to fight. Now remember, groups of 2! I heard it did wonders in the helicopter level." Level 6 Bimmy: "Um..is this like, inside the train?" Jimmy: "Feel the knee bitch!! This is for killing me back in Level 2!" Level 7 Weird-mask-guy: "Now's my chance to redeem myself. I need a snazzy quote for an introduction. Hmm.. How can you win when you have no ground to stand on? Yeah! Yeah, that's perfect! Ok, time to fight!" *walks into room* "How can you win when" Bimmy: *knee* Jimmy: *knee* Weird-mask-dude: "OH NO I'M DEAD" Level 8 Shadow Bimmy: "We never got to throw our fireballs :(" Shadow Jimmy: "Don't worry Shadow Bimmy. Maybe they'll show up in another game some day, along with the hurricane kick." Shadow Bimmy: "Here's hoping, big brother!" Level 9 Boss man: "You don't like my statue? .. Well, I'll just steal this arena from .....Super Dodge Ball....!"

Some of the levels are just boring to look at, while others are neat, like the bathroom, or the level walking by the NES :) The music is always horrible - it's got the instruments from Treasure Master, but it throws that into the gutter by constantly changing tempos and "instruments"...bleh. There is some stuff that makes this run cool, but overall I can't get past the game. My vote is meh.

Ventuz, Noscript behaves strangely, even for allowed sites. If you temporarily allow all sites under noscript's options, then the ads should appear. Edit: Also make sure that if you've donated to the site, that you log out.
