I wonder what would happen if someone ran SMAS+W, all five games?

I had one idea for improvement but it's looking like it's actually not faster. A WOO WOO

For the most part, this is played well. It could be done faster by not getting the power-ups, but we know this because this game was already done on NES. There are a couple minor differences, some faster on this game, some faster on the other game. Overall I vote no because it's too similar to the existing run. But you seem to have some potential in your TAS skills so I hope you give something else a shot! You may want to post ideas in the appropriate forum topic before starting to see what people would think of a particular game.

We have 4 Battletoads runs and 4 Metroid runs. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Added a few more. DKC - 101% Gimmick! - best ending Gradius 3 - 100% kills M.C. Kids - all levels SSF2 - Zangief version, Ken version Super Demo World - 120-exit Zelda ALttP - glitchy warps Zelda LA - glitchy warps The only ones I didn't know what to put for were the (3) Track & Field movies because I don't know how they're different - it wasn't obvious in the description and I don't feel like watching any of them to find out.

Lol I didn't even realize I left the framecounter on it. I guess that's why I don't do much of the editing around here. But I'll go ahead and replace it. If it's really that bad, it will just be re-replaced, my editing privileges will be revoked, my movies erased, and my firstborn burned alive. No biggie.

I wonder what the people who don't already know all the hidden jokes of the population here think of this thread.

I mean this with the utmost respect, but the screenshot could be much more interesting than it is.

Cardboard, I think that we should start a rally to replace the screenshot with that very image (except not cropped). It also may make a nice avatar for you if shrunk a bit. :) I'd vote on the poll if it had either option I mentioned earlier (SC2, or "all lose", or hell, even "other").

In all seriousness, Link from Soul Calibur 2 would probably kick the fresh eggs out of the other Links. Especially Wind Waker Link.

N64 child link would win, because he would creep up on them backwards, wielding his ocarina so cross-eyed that his enemies wouldn't know where he is looking. I'm just kidding, of course. Let's not be silly. They'd all lose, Link's a pansy.

I wonder why GMV isn't allowed at microstorage. Is this 14 frames from my version or from the version that nfq posted earlier on page 2 of this thread (which is said to be 20 frames faster than mine) ?

All I can think of is the negating of the colors when entering full screen, unless this was what you were referring to by palette corruption.

Yes, the one that immediately comes to mind is a Super Mario Bros. 3 run which was faster than the published one, but made nothing interesting during the auto-scrollers.
I don't think this was ever submitted, just talked about as proof-of-concept.

Mystic Cave 1 was awesome for racing with Tails. Several crazy glitch-shortcuts were very unexpected. I never would have thought this much improvement could be squeezed out of this game. I'm glad to see you finally got ninja rank. Overdue, in my opinion.

Thanks again for the comments everyone! :) I'm glad the lyrics were able to help people out. I can understand myself (obviously) and most rap pretty well, but I speak only English, and have been listening to rap for at least ten years. I know that a lot of people either don't listen to much rap, but something that didn't dawn on me until this thread was that some haven't had enough exposure to speaking English verbally to catch all the words.

Nach, try not to take it personally. I think there are still many people who don't know exactly how bittorrent works, so they aren't sure what to criticize or suggest for improvements.

Also, this site should be as far distanced from Myspace as possible.
I don't think it's possible for me to agree more with this statement. Even people who like Myspace should agree with this, if they understand this site. Here we have lots of organized data, intelligent discussion, and interesting movies. On the other hand, Myspace has the most disorganized layout possible, meaningless discussion, and nothing interesting, because no one gives a crap about anyone. Plus, this way, TASVideos will not end up a target on DateLine for hooking up 14-year-old skanks with men three times their age. And the funniest part is that I actually have a myspace account.

With a slow upload, everyone isn't fighting for the upload, they are instead sharing it with each other, so as soon as that upload is complete, all the people downloading get it at the same time, and immediately we have a finished torrent with many seeds.

If the person who published the AVI has a slow upload, how is sending you the AVI faster than just seeding it themselves?

Man I wish more people would complain when one movie goes a bit slow, even though the tools to watch it anyway are (for the most part) readily available.
