This is the 3rd time where a recent published run will be obsolete sooner starting by my Adventure Island IV then Crash Bandicoot 3 by lapogne36 and finally the Aladdin by arandomgameTASer. But yeah, this is the TAS the more you work, the more you win. I'm the first one voted yes by the way.

I didn't know that SmartFrame is Tremane himself, now I'm sure about that. Voted yes for this awesome run. Good job Tremane, holding the WR and the current TAS is something great.

First Super Metroid, then Kirby?! And not only one TASer who's doing that, a lot of TASers for the same run?! And for only a time that doesn't surpass 5 frames?! What's happening in the world of TAS?
Oh! Only one author who's doing that, ah I know now. Ok I vote yes.
(I said that blah blah in order to vote yes).

4.0.2 is probably your best bet, even though it's deprecated.

EDIT: Oh, 4.0.2 is just deprecated, not forbidden? I wouldn't recommend using it, but... eh. Maybe.
I was actually using 4.0.2 and still, and I was willing to do some TASes, but as soon as I heard that versions prior 4.0-3595 will no longer be supported for submission, I shocked and said good bye my work.

I have only a 32-bit Windows 7, I actually want to try some TASes of Wii, but unfortunately, version of Dolphin from 4.0-3595 (and some prior this version) are supported only for 64-bit version. There is no way to upgrade Windows to 64-bit unless formatting with that version but I can't do it due to some personal reasons.
My question is: Is there any 32-bit version of Dolphin that TASVideos can support? If not, then is there anyway to build a 32-bit copy of the current versions of Dolphin (for everyone who have the same case as me)?

I think that the objective of this category is to show more entertainment rather than saving time, which means playing around with everything you got in the game and make a lot of enjoyment. Probably, the comparison to the current run will be by how best is this run than the other one rather than how much time saved, you may lose a lot of time but you will show more best things that the current run don't and beat it. Take as an example, Mortal Kombat for SNES. That what I understood from what "Playaround" means, which is the goal of this branch.

What? Probably a bad start in 2017 for me and probably not. I really know now that 2016 was one of the best years in my life. I vote Yes for this run of course, you found something I missed. Thank you so much for this run

Ah I see. It slipped my mind that Zero has to end the fight to the right of where the health is before his mandatory walk to the left side of the room.
I take it the second Ryuenjin was replaced with a Kuuenzan as well?
Also, did you find out any explanation as to why SSDC is more effective than SDC against ugly face Sigma but not the doors in Sky Lagoon 1 and Magma Dragoon 1 despite having the same damage values for all 3 enemies?
Against ugly face, I search for a frame in which I have to attack with the sword and give 3 successive slash damage instead of 1 slash damage, that from the first slash, the seconde one will play the role of normal SDC because it gives only 1 slash damage so I have to cancel it with dash. The reason why this is effective is because canceling the first slash after 3 successive damages and then redo that slower than doing a seconde slash, cancel it and redo again. In addition, using SDC is the slowest way here.

Edit: I ask once again for replacing the movie file with this 33 frames faster version. http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/35984000086373327
Falling from invisible ladder after warping from Volcano (exactly after frame 34440) saves 33 frames. Thanks to sooi for this improvement.

Thank you Hetfield90 for your notes. Here is the new version version of the run: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/35974485264847622
it is 43 frames improvement. I would like to replace the existing movie file with it. I have couple of notes to be added:
-The energy refill cannot be avoided because even if it was avoided during the battle, Zero picks it up immediately after killing the Sigma robot form.
-Avoiding the energy refill cost much frames and probably a time loss.
-Dashing before beginning the battle and using Shippuga to pick up the energy refill is slower than beginning normaly. Thanks to Rolanmen1 for this note.
-Ryuenjin was replaced with a Kuuenzan and the lag subsequent avoided.
Since I improved the run, it becomes a recent one, which means it is now a run of 2016.

My personal preference would be to forego warp glitches in 100% runs such as this. Still, its an entertaining run. Good job McBobX.
I guess there will be no "warp glitch" category, probably because the difference between the Any% and the warp glitch runs is small, regardless of the glasses glitch since it is doable in both branches, same thing for 100%, and so, warp glitches only save a small time that doesn't even surpass 5 minutes to separate the categories, but they will be considered as improvement to the intended branch. This is what I think and the judge has his final decision about the categories.
