Upon watching, I have to say this is actually somewhat boring. It skipped WAY too much of the game. It had the "whoa" factor but man... I wasn't very entertained.
This game would be a boring TAS to watch. You can't exactly go fast. Wouldn't impress me much since it's the easiest thing ever at slow speed.
For the record, I cleared Phantasm stage with 3 lives left (would have been 4 but I died AS Yukari's death animation was going).
Wow .. this game is insane!
I don't speak or read japanese, but I'm pretty sure that all that scrolling text is totally unnecessary. What does it say, in general? Comments about what's going on, or simply the guy saying "I'm japanese and I put all this scrolling text because I can and it's really really annoying"?
Hi, thanks I didn't figure the link marked something was the file. I still find it difficult to believe it isn't in the GoodGen 3.00 db. There are 3 different Knuckles in Sonic 1 hacks but they aren't by the same person.
I think Stealth's is relatively new, compared to the others.
As far as I'm concerned, this entire debate is goofy.
Get 2-3 more encoders on the site, and then just encode videos on a first-come, first-serve basis; once a video is accepted (the only real subjective part of the step), it should be added in to the queue, and videos should be published in such an order. Popularity of a game simply shouldn't be a factor.
edit: I recommend a split from this thread by the way. This argument shouldn't be taking away from the quality of this run (which by the way, is very high. Excellent job.)
using Toad/Koopa for the 5 courses, because I am 95% certain that either of those two drivers will save a significant amount of time compared to Bowser, because of better turning (DP1) and much faster, and longer long boosts..
Is it proven that Koopa/Toad have better long boosts ? I just checked the NTSC World Records list, and the fastest laps are driven with Bowser/Donkey/Mario. F-laps in GP are usually a longboost fest, so you'd think players would use Koopa/Toad if there was a potential gain.
