I was a little not motivated while watching, because the movie was running a little laggish here, but .. it sure has great moments, and I liked the final boss fight so much I decided to vote Yes right away... XD
Other parts that I really liked are .. Whip's screams, Athena's special, and that part where Leona walks back .. xP

Well, it didn't work completely for me ... when I started playing around with player 2 (on Double Dragon), the blue guy kept going on wrong directions like it holds buttons down, or locking, don't really know what's being done, I'm sure I configured all commands like usual.. x__x
But, the RAM search/watch is clearly a good feature, maybe I'll be using it for the next TASes or testing, .. even if not for Lua scripting, or 2 player games ... XD

Here it is, WIP
Runs on Dega 1.16 MAME
I think it's not hard to manipulate the results I want for each lesson/level, but ... it has to be manipulated at the very beginning before the screen stops being white ..... some levels will be much slower (especially level 9, which is why I made a stop..) XD
To be continued... =P
Notes:
1- I've already started a new version because of the new improvements I found ... it's not best to start with a lower blue ... upper blue is faster... @__@
2- Maybe getting 2 pairs of yellow on level 3 was pure luck, but .. I think I can do it again... XD
3- Level 5 is the best part, I think, it's so glitchy that I can fill in the screen, not take out any refugee, and still win... XD
4- I'm thinking of new solutions on level 7 because it has to be more vertical to be faster.... +_+
So .... is this appealing? o.o
EDIT 2012/jan/10
Already redid what I could and .... only 18 frames better for now x_x trying to get a good set for level 9, one that gets the solution in only 8 pairs.. +D
And lower blue was faster on level 1, the game take more time to drop it on the
right spot, so I could get 2 frames faster with better acceleration (yes, acceleration...) XD
5- Acceleration of beans: it works exactly like when we do a mistake while typing, we press left, and hold it, first, we go one letter left, and then, a little pause, and next, it's running.. =P
...and the pausing part can be completely skipped in the game, we can press left more than 15 frames before the pair come in .. =P

Wouldn't a puzzle mode TAS basically amount to a high-speed walkthrough?
I think it's a little more than a walkthrough, ... manipulating the beans and pairs to optimal results is playing with luck itself... and some level are meant to have unusual solutions in tool-assisting... some that people really can't rely on, like level 5 .. XD

I'm not getting this encode to work, can't we have another one?? @___@
Why separating male from female like this was a bathroom or something? =P I know I prefer female characters to play too, but ... XD .... why not showing the best TAS combos of the best characters in one video? o.o

Is it hard to come up with a Dega 1.16 MAME version that adds 2 player commands to the lower right side of the screen? (don't know how I didn't think of it before) +_+

DarkKobold
....Can I nominate DarkKobold so there IS a voting topic later? ..... O.o
(I swear I didn't see ANY Metal Slug TAS this year, as I was frustrated from that one with the encode that lost at the end.... and the Mercs TAS, 3 players... is good enough for a match) =P
(and I swear I have nothing against x2poet and really think he's gonna win anyway) XD
(....plus the movie I liked the most from x2poet wasn't published ¬¬)
