Most impressive run! Just a pity the score freezes so soon and so does the combo meter :( BUT I was most definitely entertained! Definite Yes!

I;'d vote, but Mupen absolutely refuses to play nice with my computer :( Mind you, I am also quite curious about AKA's comment on iRC..
[12:15] <AKA> Mukki's run is very improvable but I withdrew mentioning them in the workbench, I'll talk about my disagreements and improvements in the MM thread after publication.
[12:18] <AKA> Raiscan: I wouldn't want to give other more casual viewers the wrong impression about the run.
Because honestly, I can't see that as a totally acceptable reason. If I had a video that could be improved a lot, I would want to be told so a proper decision could be made and so I could get to fixing things... not be told afterwards that the video I just got published is a sham compared to what it could be. [Like making a 5:03 TAS SMB movie and being told it could be barely improved by 4 seconds... I'd want that 5:03 cancelled!] But then this is merely my opinion.

I know a lot of people are against racing games for TAS'ing.. but I think Hydro Thunder has some serious potential for entertainment. I mean the shortcuts are sick, and the crashes you can do with the boats would be totally fun ^_^ [Look Ma! That tour boat darn get in front of us... JACK KNIFE IT!]

why do you insist on padding your rerecord count to 100000?
[reply pending]
I completely concur... wasn't even plausible the first time.
Watch how the real count was only like a few thousand and he felt it wasn't big enough, so he inflated it to make it look like he's a god... [or a fraud more aptly]

Um.. no... if the game ended right there... then it'd be awesome... but it keeps going... concept demo or not... no.. just no..
To that, I want my 6.55 seconds back and the time it took to write this post explaining my no vote.

For a 100% run.. this was not only incredibly fast, despite the backtracking, and I actually kept awake the entire run.. even though I was almost a total zombie the entire time. The glitches were fantastic and the run was very well executed. Definitely a yes because I enjoyed it fully!

P.Dot's movie is unoptimized in highly visible ways to people who aren't even familiar with the game.
Guanobowl's is unoptimized in ways that are only visible to people who are highly familiar with the game.
Even though P.Dot's is much faster, it also looks much worse.
This is why I am against publishing it and even more against it obsoleting the currently published movie.
I gotta completely agree with this being my primary reason... I mean I am greatful for the AVI that was encoded [since Mupen HATES my pc], but the glaring errors.. ugh...
Guano's had a lot less, even if by this one, it's not as optimal. The question is, how long before Guano or someone else brings forth a "Best of Both Worlds" run, where these tricks are used and IT IS optimal? Can we live with people looking at this run and wondering why we're publishing something with so many glaring errors?
Guaranteed we accept this despite its sub-optimalness... there will be people pointing to stuff in the Grue Food forum and demanding they get that same kind of respect or if someone posts something new but it's painfully sub-optimal, they'll quote this as a published run as an excuse for their sub-optimal runs SHOULD be published.

Note, the game does loop over and over and goes till about 9,999,990 or so. [Can't recall if all 9's or just that] It took over 6 hours to do it... but a 1 loop tour may illicit SOME interest.

also, I wonder what % it would show if all votes are "meh". I'm sure it favors "no" then and is 0% (since none are yes!).
That does sound to be quite logical... and then 1 single no vote would encompass the 100%.. granted as you said, it'd favour the single No vote, unless someone voted Yes afterwards. Mind you, with 1 of each and a ton of Meh's, it'd be hard to ever figure if the movie was to be published due to so much fence sitting.

It would mean we'd have to make a full run on it then, otherwise that trick would be useless. And my point is that there's a lot of other issues that would slow the run down dramatically, be it executed on PAL version, that would nullify the potential gain from bypassing the gate.
As I am reading it.. it's more to be able to test and see if it's even possible to OCCUR on this PAL run, where then, we know it can be translated to an NTSC run... or at least, as I said, that's how I read it..

Chamale,
While the ending this time was MUCH improved, I do echo the sentiment of letting him die off with 1 self inflicted blow instead of 2... it would look MUCH better!
FURTHER TO THAT! You still end the movie TOO soon! When the Black screen comes up, THEN you can not enter input to stop things. Until that point, I could still hit Select during the death monologue and prolong the ending indefinitely.
If you can tweak the ending, and end the movie properly, I'd suggest to immediately cancel this movie and submit the new updated version so everyone can vote properly.

I am a complete fence sitter on this... while for the most part it WAS entertaining! [The Otis fight amused me the most] That ending.. um I could STILL push buttons to affect the input [Select], which could cause the movie to last wayyyyyyyyy longer.
NOW! The suiciding of the boss was awesome! I NEVER saw that coming! If there was a way you both commit suicide, but luck manip. him to die 2 and a half minutes faster... that would be totally awesome!
Other then that, the glitches were nice, the odd fight was boring, but the 3 min wait was what made it a Meh. Sorry... but it was damn good otherwise.

NOW THAT'S AN IMPROVEMENT!
I never figured I'd see another Lolo 2 run so soon... let alone one that improves so much! This is a definite YES vote on MANY accounts, including for entertainment!

Every time you post, you just get (or seem to get) more and more arrogant. Would you like to add something to the discussion instead of 'mine will be much better'?
I must admit, this is EXACTLY how I am seeing it... every post it's just pure and absolute arrogance... definitely not impressed by it. Thankfully everyone else is in such a reasonable mood ^_^ Watching the learning process is absolutely fascinating, even if I don't possess the skills myself.

Holy shit... this was just INSANE for an improvement! Now.. is there anyway the NES version can be improved with these new dizziness findings? Regardless, this is a Yes vote without hesitation!

I'm sorry... but this was NOT entertaining in the least.. coulda warned you about that if I knew you were going to do this.
It's extremely limited, insanely repetitive and VERY boring... I mean I hit the speed button for the majority of it due to sheer boredom.
And the LEVELS! I mean, wtf?! Most of them look so poorly built and put together... even I could've made something that looked more entertaining then "Let's repeat this jump another time and let it go on for a long stretch and add some more random trees."
The ONLY part that entertained me? The damned Caribou roaming about. Sorry... :( It's not you... it's this horrid game..

But if I use that trick that means I will be doing it a lot. Is that more boring than watching some one run from battle more? And is it feasible to reset the game a bunch in a run w/o desyncs?
IMHO, I do believe this'd be absolutely mindnumbingly boring... it'd almost, I dare say, come off like a segmented run from TAS with all the resets. :(

I'm sorry.. but regretfully I wasn't entertained :( The fact I've seen someone do the offroading trick on MAME far too many times to count.. well it's a nice touch on the Genesis version... but it's too blah. [That and I've watched wayyyyyyy too many games of Out Run in the past 2 months.]
Honestly, a points run done as fast as possible, without the offroading trick would be a bit more entertaining. Not by much, but far more then this. :(

Non-improvements that will be claimed as improvements
Killing of turtles to save animation time in the blimp cutscene after lv 4. The cutscene time is fixed. If a turtle is dead, a pause will be put in his place.
ACK! I can't believe I totally missed that when I was reading over everything.... my bad :(

I voted a solid yes for this one ^^
It's just a pity that dying takes up so much time, or I'd have suggested killing off the other 2 turtles as well, so all you have is the 1 turtle going onto the blimp... oh who am I kidding, the time is prolly negligible a best... and slower at worst...

JEEBUS MAN! QUIT BREAKING THIS FRAGILE GAME! ;)
[Goes to watch this insane improvement]
Um DAYUM?! That's a freaking YES with a bullet! Now if there was only a way to find out how to clip that one Orange Cube so you don't have to pace back and forth before it comes down again..
Btw, how plausible would you deem this new cut the corner of the spikes to bounce over them trick, to be done on a real console? Possible, but not worth the extreme effort it'd take to make happen..? Improbable?
