I was entertained, so I give a yes vote.
First, thanks for your vote, a frames-superman like you can feel entertained in this make me happy :D

-Did you tried to distribute the killings between the 2 players to minimize the loss at score calculations? (1 tank difference means costs 9 frames loss, so it's better if you can lower the number of tanks killed by 1 tank one of the players) I'm not sure is it possible to do it, but since most of the time one of the tanks does nothing, I think it is.
The main strategy is my worriest. Yes you right if I made kill 5-5-6 I'll have lower number tanks when calculator, but you forgot the freeze respawn timer. My english make me hard to say for you can understand. I want mean if have 5 tanks on battlefield, then when it born 6th tank, respawn timer will freeze a little whether you killed all enemies tanks before it born. That's why I alway must kill few tanks when it already have 4th tanks on battlefield

-Sometimes I see that you actually don't know where the item will spawn and you don't/can't pick up the item earlier. For example at stage 39, you could easily pick up the grenade earlier, kill all tanks you did as in the movie and spawn the next tanks 3 frames earlier (except the "next" one since he killed with a bullet not with grenade)
I can't know where it'll born. I just change it born if it not right items and not near my tanks, make random still I feel it ok
And you forgot I must control enemies. Example at the stage 39, if my yellow tank have move for take grenade, enemies will shoot my funny picture :(

And I would also like to see a list of how many frames you trade off for entertainment.
I think I can faster a little if I choice what tanks I'll shoot, but it'll make me impossible for create funny pictures :( (I can't calculator it)
I mean if only have a type tank got kill by my shoot, maybe it'll faster little

"Know enough is enough, wait for enough then when it have enough" by Laozi, at 5th–4th century BCE
Just kiding! :D
I have think it before, about what can I do when waiting delay resapwn timer. Shoot, shoot what?Move around? For what? Is it help funny more than? At that time, I don't know what can I do , now too
This TAS is a example: http://tasvideos.org/961M.html
Sometime it have freeze stay, because movement don't help anything (example in round 2)

We definitely don't want to be seen as invaders, but I think everyone in both communities is pretty aware by now that we are not enemies, and that shared knowledge has improved TASes and RTAs alike, so I would hope we can find a home there. If it eventually completely replaces our GameResources pages, I for one would see that as a massive improvement.

2) The IRC channel at #tasvideos is where people talk about TASes all the time. Also, like the RSS feeds, new submissions and publications are announced there. Regarding watching runs, links to WIPs and movie files can be posted in the chat too.
I don't think have many pepole know IRC, example me :D
Why not a little tool for easy all ? I don't think it's too hard for TAS make it

3) One of the main problems with paying people to TAS (from what I understand) is that usually only the TASer knows how optimized it is. A monetary reward for finishing a run will result in the runner doing low quality work or even hiding lots of possible optimizations within a run just to get the money quickly.
I tried invite my friends to TAS ago, gamers very professional and better me very much. But they asked me make TAS for what, I said it's for fun and for pride, they blew blew me :(
That's why I think if have good awards then pepole will want come to TAS more than. Like Academy/Oscar awards :D

I don't agree get paid for encodes, because first there is copyright of games + if they want money they could make tas which optimize every time 1 frame so more videos = max profit
About copyright I don't have ideas. But with awards, just give to good records, example year awards.

Hi! We knew TAS borned over 10 years ago, but I see TAS still have too little TASer and records. I think if TAS want more new pepole come then TAS must change or upgrade something. Maybe all you here have love classical, but that's limited new pepole want come to TAS
Here's my some ideas for TAS, hope it can make TAS have more pepole and more funny:
1/ Make social networking for TAS, facebook and google+ . Alway update info when have new record
2/ Make a little tool can track/view/chat/etc all about TAS
3/ Try earn money from Youtube or make donate for fund. If have fund then can make good award for good records, then its TASer will happy more than
4/ Make a new tier for newbie, maybe Novice Tier. There's free for all want make records, will not focus on optimizing
My english isn't good, I can't say all I want :(
p/s: please focus TASEditor on all Emulators, it's so powerfull, I love it >.<

Of course I saw it, but still not enough.
Suggest: Keep moving and shooting, and don't stop. Stop would reduce entertainment.
Are you mean I need don't use grenade, must shoot enemies ?
But it for speed up in fast time and free time for me shoot walls
You must understand shoot enemies very easy more than control luck and make funny pictures

for strategies, I have working hard rock in every stages.
When start a new stage, I have capture screenshot to Paint. Then I try modify image to anything I can found. Then I make list what movent I need do.
But life isn't easy, game too :D
While speed run, depend lucky control and enemies actions, my strategies alway must change
Example stage 54. I must protect my words in very hard. Maybe you think I have lucky because enemies didn't shoot them. No, they shoots like MP5. I must alway change their actions by my tanks actions (strategies too). That why sometimes you'll see I have some silly actions, it have its reason :)
Btw, I sacred this game, I have feel I'm playing chess game not action game. The big problem in this game: free actions.It don't have available routes. Then I don't know what need I do for best
My English isn't good, hope you can understand my mind. I lost alot time for this run. Don't look records count, because it didn't count my actions in real life :D

In fact, do you think there's any way to further speed up the playthrough?
Yes, at here have many magicans with powerful frames magic can do better me. And I have many lag frames and not sure my main strategy is best
someone like MESHUGGAH easy beat me in future
AnS wrote:
Not sure about Star material (since the game is fairly obscure in the West)
I'm a noob gamer only, I don't know make script, search Ram,etc. When I come to TAS, I just target to Vault only, because I know what can I do. With me, Moon is too happy for me :)
AnS wrote:
Too bad you've repeated a couple of antics more than once.
Yes, 35 differently ideas are big problems with me, my brain got hacked :(
But too late for change anything. This run can't edit anymore because lucky problems and dead frames. Just remake it

You completed it in less time, but in fact, yours is not more entertained than Takanawa's.
Didn't you see my funny pictures in maps? My god! I lost alot times for think about how to make pictures while speed run, but you didn't see it. Or is it not entertained? :(

I watched this, I thought it have something new for me can learn, but it don't have. All differents here must kill enemies then can do it, the things/ways I knew before but I didn't it because I want make a pacifish run. All you here knew, a pacifist never can faster with a any% run.
Ok, I'm agree here's faster my run. I'm a newbie in frames war, can't make best in each frame. I need learn more than. I just feel sad if my run will become to obsolete by this, it's not fair play, better if my run get beat by other pacifist run. Ok, I vote Meh

hmm then if any game can play with 2 players then we can make 2 TAS, 1 for 1 player, 2 for 2 players :D
I think why don't make "pacifist", maybe it'll look better. Is it right ? :D

Thanks!
I have play this game long time ago, but on J version only. After watch this video, I see my J version is different too much with this U version (J version have short way more than and don't have too much items like this). I think if this TAS can make in J version then it can faster more than because it have short way more than and have some bugs can make glitchs. Example: in stage 1, before meet the fat boss, throw a grenade can help skip fight both boss
I don't know how about in U version, I'll try J version later when I have free time. I'll vote Yes because I see this run is ok :D
I mean if only have a type tank got kill by my shoot, maybe it'll faster little
