You can polish a turd all you want, but it will remain a turd. I could barely watch this abominable game... I mean I can quite clearly see the effort and work put into it, but... no. IMHO, this is an abysmal game and was not terribly entertaining at all. The work put into it made it a weak No... but unfortunately I feel this was a bad game choice. And this is coming from someone who enjoys Cheetahmen II. x.x; Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

Grincevent, this was a really well done run and I am glad you're willing to go back and improve this. Though I would love to know how you seemingly OHKO'd the first boss! That was intense! Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

So what's game end goal for this? Does this game permit hexing together nicely so that several people can TAS a different event and then splice EVERYTHING together to make one super event run? Or will there be shitloads of events done and then the videos all spliced together with a gap page mentioning the event and who the TAS'er is, and then the Time and the current known WR time beside it to show just how damn good the TAS is?

FINALLY! Thanks to AnS, I now have found a version of FCEUX that LETS ME record Swords and Serpents!@ ANYWAYS, First you will require FCEUX 2.16 Interim SVN 2620 which can be found here; http://fceux.com/zip And now for the concept run itself! http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1250321623/Swords%20%26%20Serpents%20-%20Don%27t%20Take%205%2C%20Take%20What%20You%20Want%20To%20Take.fm2 This was done as a concept run for Swords and Serpents for a future run to SDA on an actual console. I wanted to work out the most optimal pathway and luck to get an idea of roughly how fast insanely good luck would be and how to guage what a good run time would be. http://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/swords__serpents_not_your_parents_dd.html This is the thread stared on SDA by me, after being inspired by this very thread here. I hope this willl inspire someone to TAS this badboy and bring it to its knees. It's definitely going to be a challenge as it's RNG hell to say the least! Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

Well now I am REALLY confused! http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1907724773/SwordsAndSerpents-Take5.fm2 I ran this just a few mins ago... and was really happy with it. Just a proof of concept run with interesting twists. Then it strikes again.. the SAME DAMN ISSUE! No worries, so I think. I go, open it up, change all the 7's to 0's as Dacius did and save. I mean the fixed one worked.. so why not this? Yep... even changed to 0's, it STILL does this BS! Can someone figure why this is the case?! [And if someone can manage to get this fixed so it plays back in full, that'd be AWESOME!] Windows 7, FCEUX 2.15, Old PPU, no slowdowns... just re-records... and this time I had no spaces in the file name either, just in case. Swords and Serpents (U) Rom as usual. Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

So I have encountered a weird issue when I am trying to record Swords and Serpents. If I attempt to pre-roll... or soon after if I don't... it gives me an error message... Not FDS; Can not eject disk The thing is, I then went and remapped the 2 FDS buttons I saw for 2 entirely DIFFERENT keys far away... still happens. This definitely occurs with using the Start and Select button... but as well when I remapped those as well. I am using FCEUX 2.15, Old PPU with the Swords and Serpents (U) Rom Any idea why this is occuring? Edit: Sample of this occuring.. right before I roll characters no less... http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1856062484/Swords%20and%20Serpents%20-%20Test%20Run%204.fm2 Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

Wow, It'd been so long that I'd forgotten I even made this thread. xD Course I haven't exactly been very active on the forum for the last few years anyway. Feasel has a 1:11:10 on a speedrun of this game. I'm sure a TAS can do better.
Yeah, Feasel was a BEAST with the new path that has been devised. 3 Mages and a Warrior... though I am unsure if a Thief is better. Definitely 1 Mage, 3 Thieves may have potential... or 1 Mage, 1 Warrior and 2 Thieves. Thieves to crit hits a lot and Warrior can equip Ruby Sword for 3 hits. A TAS will manipulate enemies to get 2 or 3 +3 swords from enemies starting on Level 10, depending on how you wish to go about it. Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

http://forum.speeddemosarchive.com/post/swords__serpents_not_your_parents_dd.html I am planning on speedrunning this at some point in the future and apparently so is Feasel. I'm popping the link up for anyone who may consider a TAS of this title, so they can gain from our information findings. Edit: a LOT of new info is now available, and also at the aforementioned link is a 2 Part test route run by Feasel and later in the thread, my thoughts and my FM2. [Which desyncs?!] Definitely a treasure trove of info if this will ever be TAS'd. Would love to get a lua script for this game to figure out the more important stuff, like how to determine if something is going to be dropped from an enemy and more importantly, does AC do jackshit, or does awesome rolled chars do it all and it's a ruse. Well that and the more important question that's bothering us. Does holding a directional on the pad with the attack button actually WORK or was the manual lying to us? Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

I find myself agreeing with Nitrogenesis on this one... entirely. If I played it, this might be a different story... but alas.. it's a No Vote from me.. and a thin margined one at that. :( Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

Did you remember to read the comments in your previous run? http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13054 I guess not... seeing as this run is still 1:30 slower then the nico run.
And that run not only kills off all the lives, but then uses a Password! I personally feel that while the pw idea is faster, this TAS is much more genuinely awesome as it gets it done how a gamer who had God Like skills would do it, which is genuinely more in tune with what has been seen on this site for videos. [With certain exceptions... like Second Quest Zelda for instance] But this is my personal opinion. Granted.. another death could have been used now that I saw how well it worked in the Nico run... but still a Yes Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

I definitely enjoyed this run and the new route was a nice surprise as well. A very nice improvement. The only 2 things I see breaking this game open big time are higher jumping to save some time climbing certain ladders... and finding a way to drop off a ladder. But I am unsure if those will ever be possible. Yes vote for such a nice improvement though! Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

Outside of the endless suspending... [Hate that, even thought I know it's fastest], I absolutely loved this! Seeing even the Nest of Evil taken down brings a smile to my face. This was genuinely entertaining! Definite Yes vote from me! Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

Definitely worth a watch! :) The Trailer is available right on the website to whet your appetite! And quite possibly a TUGG near you! Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

Um... wtf? Seriously? Did I just watch 4 minutes of Bejeweled... with absolutely no point to it? Entertaining for maybe a minute then got old fast. x.x Definitely a No vote. Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

One of the few hacks of SMW that I truly can say I enjoy. Played very well and was entertaining. I can't wait for an All Exits run in the future! Yes Vote! Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

So that is what started all this BS? Ugh... that was absolutely horrible. Difficult for the point of being stupidly difficult. Even TAS'd, that bored me to death. Sigh... why must most hacks have to follow this unfortunate trend and not be like SDW? Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

http://www.gamefaqs.com/nes/587676-swords-and-serpents/faqs A decent FAQ that also has ASCII maps within which will definitely help. Enemy randomness sucks big time though.... but I am sure toying with RNG will allow some control. Not sure how much levelling you'd want to do to ensure you have HP to Manipulate enemy encounters. Not sure if it will be quicker to use Last Resort to shortcut back to a temple on levels 1, 5 or 10. Manipulating drops is going to probably be a total bitch, but at least drops are WAYYYYY better then what the armory will offer you, which means money is pointless. Not sure how exactly battles work.. I mean I used to use a turbo controller to go insane... hard to tell exactly what triggers the enemy to attack or remain dormant. Frame rule or something? I think a TAS will definitely make quick work of this.. probably 20 mins worst case.. maybe 15, since you need all 7 Ruby Treasures. Hope this little bit is of some meager assistance to anyone wanting to speedrun this undderated RPG. Edit: Just remembered that when you run from battle, you get ejected back one square. I think this definitely has its advantages.. but I wish I knew if you could go backwards into a scripted encounter and run and then go past the square, or if it ejects you back to the square you arrived from, regardless of the wrong direction.

I ould not stomach this run. I honestly kept looking at the time as it bored me to tears. The only reason it escapes a full No is because of your explanation of how movement worked and how the toy level was actually with its moments of obvious phenomenal controls. It just BARELY scrapes by with a Meh, though the music almost killed that... Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

So I reloaded this game to attempt a TAS on it ... and it's nightmarish. Manipulating luck in a way that actually gains time is a huge struggle (especially within battle), though I am just starting out. So let's necro a five-year-old one post thread and see if there's even any interest in seeing this game worked on! If anyone has any sort of progress on this particular beast, has interest in seeing it get done, or knows of any exploits/bugs/tricks that would be useful, I'd love to know and get involved. The game is one of my old favorites from when I was a kid.
I want to see this game beaten. I could never fully pull it off.. but it was fun! Definitely hoping someone picks this up. Mr. Kelly R. Flewin
