Sounds awesome. Can't wait to see what you can come up with.

Doesn't check if you actually have that weapon yet
I haven't tested the script but you're basically saying you have all the weapons at all times? I don't know about other people but individual level runs are what I'm most interested in, and there you SHOULD have all the weapons for all the levels, so in that sense it's not a problem. EDIT: Ah, I tested the script and I see the problem..

...the amount of work required to make a Megaman TAS...
I don't really see why Megaman games should require any more work than other games of the same length. Also at least to me, these types of TASes wouldn't need to be made with frame precision to be entertaining, it's more just about finding cool and effective strategies. If you're talking about the difficulty of performing zipping glitches, I don't think I'd even want to see them in a run like this.

i love how the game doesn't count time when weapon select screen.
Yeah, me too. I talked about this at the IRC channel and people generally seemed to be against it because it slows down the game, but I love it because it allows for some really cool strategies and makes the game a lot more focused around tactics. I don't know anything about LUA scripting but I talked to qFox and he said it would be possible to insert a similar timer into the NES Megaman games. NES Megaman TASes done MM9 style would be so cool, just thinking about this already got me thinking about strategies for MM6 :)

So, if every life is equally valuable to you, this should be problematic then: You're given a choice to kill either a mass murderer who you know beyond any doubt has raped and murdered hundreds of innocent people or an innocent 12-year-old schoolgirl. Which do you choose? If you really have to think about it, I just don't know what to say.

lots of stuff
I never said there shouldn't be exceptions. Just because I didn't for example specify that 5-year-old kids and mentally handicapped people shouldn't always pay for their crimes in full doesn't mean I'd condone it. Common sense should always be the starting point. I also think incarceration should still be used to keep people like sex criminals off the streets. This eye-to-eye stuff was mainly sparked by the talk of the death penalty, where I think it is a fitting punishment. It is not to be extended to all punishments. I was trying to cover this by the "where applicable" in my post but I wasn't very clear, sorry.

I on the other hand find it hard to believe it really bothers people. It's a part of the game, and it's not even that loud or annoying a noise in this game, unlike in for example Metroid.

Just because YOU don't see the connections between my points doesn't mean they don't exist. You calling me ignorant is deliciously ironic.

And you've just implied you're stupid. Or at least that there's something wrong with your reading comprehension. Read the rest of my post before commenting on it, please. I'll just try to make this very clear: Punishments are there to stop people from committing and repeating crimes. In my opinion this is most effectively achieved by having strict eye-to-eye type punishments, and in my opinion this is fair, and is what is called justice. I've said nothing about revenge, so shut up and stop tearing my comments out of their proper context.

AKA: The whole point of my post was that it was incredibly harsh to convict someone who burned a church to 6,5 years in jail when child abusers get away with nothing. And no, the child abusers didn't have to go to a mental asylum and they didn't have any mental disorders. They simply walked free with conditional jailtime, which is bullshit. And the concept of justice is subjective, you cannot just say that "justice is harmony". The way I see justice is that if you do something bad, something bad gets done to you in return. It's not done because of the families of the victims (because what if they dont don't have families? The guilty person could just be let go, right?) but because there needs to be rules in a society, and there needs to be a punishment for the bad stuff you do. In my opinion, the best punishment is an eye-for-an-eye type of punishment where applicable.

The way I see it is that if you murder someone, you deserve to get the same treatment. It's not about revenge, it's about justice. Sidenote: Of course in Finland we've never heard of justice, so here a 19-year-old man who burned a church and turned himself in was sentenced to 6,5 years in prison and when 2 men sexually abused their stepchildren for several years one of them got 5 and the other 7 months of conditional jailtime, i.e. they didn't spend one day in prison.

I'd be very surprised if it's not Jesus. If it indeed isn't Jesus, then I would really like to know why.

Being inconsistent is the worst option of them all. IMO you need to have clear goals and rules in order for the run to be entertaining.

WTF dude, where's the .smv? You seriously think people here prefer YouTube over the .smv file or do you have some other reasoning?

Man, this game just kicks so much ass, this is what Metroid should've been like. Great job with the run.

So uh, I haven't followed this thread and have a question: are the ratings transferred to the publication if the submission is published?

Maybe someone who has a different opinion that you? Why is it so hard to understand?
