i agree, it's before everything a entertainement event, what entertain peoples is that the runners go fast but at the risk of failing when they watch a TAS, they know that it's gonna be either "perfect" or desynching. there is no risk, no possible mistakes (due to our standards) no trickiness and that's the most common critics we get that lack of "runners interactivity" was kinda set of by either making the chat or the public participate in our Demos or simply mind blowing the public with things like heavy code injections that "looked cool" i think that one a small moon/star level run + a interactive event is a good formula but with every year, we need to include more and more the crowd, so they might come for "the bling" but stays for the technicity. i think that if there is a next year we should try something impressive where the result would be based on the crowd direct choices instead of just influenced like some kinda dragon's lair choices, exept that the TASbot would frame perfect the ensuing outcome

just watched the block and i think that the "lack of knowledge and interactivity" hurted the block pretty hard the mari0 glitchless for introducing linux Tasing was a good idea but the game being virtually unknown, it flopped especially hard on the custom maps also i think peoples tilted hard for the outrageous 100k incensitive for the scribblenauts extra AND having then to subscibe to be able to make use of it for a.... 4 choices 10 sec question where in the earlier years we did kinda bigger and more impressive for a lot less. maybe setting a grid with "safe adjectives" and letting peoples type those forcing the majority to make "valid object" for the bot to use in a level (and hence giving the possibility for the bot to fail because the crowd choosed poorly ) as a FREEby +convincing the staff to pass the chat in free mode during the event would "greatly apease" peoples last thing; VB__ did run aria of sorrow any % monday, maybe sticking that particular TAS just after and having the runner coexplain tricks would have made the run a bit more "public friendly"

well a much as i like the story,a "normal mode game" would simply skip the few cutscenes there (and that are not sequence breaked by the infinite drone jump) but there is a forgoten factor : speedrun mode have a unique common "seed" while normal mode have randomised "secret glitch world" and a unique randomied "strong weapon" since both are skipped and exept if we find a way to abuse cutscenes, there should not be a branching needed exept the classic any% & 100% (map + items)

easy yes vote, this run is entertaining as hell now, for the category i feel that a true 100% would be "all unique items, all DSS, 100% map, all "max up" and if one ever gets out, it should obselete this one ( if it's not being mooned) also as pointed earlier the problem with that suggestion is be that the map completion "feels" empty, maybe an inventive ziping through the map would help "freshen out" that point....

well, i did not expect that game to get tased so fast. axiom verge is for me one of the best (if not the best) metroid clone out, emulating almost perfectly the ambiance of the original one, (the author even made some metroit hacks before doing thing game),and seriously this run gives it justice, i'm surpised on how much the nova was used over the kilver the normal weapon used in speeduns) but math being maths i'm sure it's faster. easy yes vote, and can't wait to see a 100%... also little random trivia: the health bar beat to the BPM of the song played

this was surprisingly entertaining, easy yes vote also what would happen if you touch the last star as yoshi ? and also also : correct me if i'm wrong but there's no 150 category for this game, how's this possible ?

happy to see an improvement to the oldest game on this site especially on that day... also happy to see that the 99 lives™ still lives

great run, if somehow we manage to get a full run accepted to the vault i hope that the snes version would obselete this one, just because of the better sound effect (also skiding )

It might be worthwhile to point out that the actual ending (if one plays back the movie) doesn't contain this death at the ship and instead as usual advances to the credits, which was edited in the video.
oowwww and i seriously tought that the game would actually game over when you reach the ship just to screw even more with the poor dude that lost his mind actually trying to tackle the game i'm so sad :(

such high optimisation in goku's movment and such precises hitboxes from thoses bosses, we can clearly feel that it's a TAS and there was at least more than 70K rerecordings i think that a star wouldn't be enough for this run

Snoop Dogg sounds nothing like the real one I think this is a fake TAS
snoopy actually bullied a frog , then scared the girl to steal her buoy (?) then did gave a kite to another kid to make him trip to steal his keys... (i guess he got mugg'd) that dog is evil and the soundtrack of that game is awesome.

there are some very smart ideas in this hack; it would be fun if actual SM players would try to play this without being spoiled.....
