Are you sure that's true ? o_O
I don't know this site, I only uploaded my video over youtube, and 88k views in 4 days seams impossible...
Anyways, I put this in descision : canceled and will post new version when done.
It's true, anyone can see the view count. Nicovideo has a larger TAS watching community than youtube does, and I've seen entertaining enough TASes break 100k in a few days (for instance, TASeditor's lttp TAS broke 100k easily)
Of course nicovideo viewer count isn't a measure of TAS quality, just a novelty :)
Shaving frames off of an already contested, heavily optimized run is impressive. Even if it might not be a viewer-spectacular experience, it will improve your TASing skills a lot to do :)
Yes vote. I like how this arbitrary execution glitch is seemingly unlike any other in that it doesn't involve a single item or the inventory screen whatsoever.
IMO the timing used should be when 600k (or 500k) is hit, not when input ends, as that's what Sim City RTA uses. It also results in a wildly different strategy - wanting to make the perfect, fastest growing 600k (or 500k) city, not just the minimum required to eventually get 600k (or 500k). For example, what if you found an input that just baaaarely hits the population count and takes years to do so?
Sorry but i'll vote no. Stopped watching on first boss, even if the WR do any% and you 100% boss strategy MUST be the same.
Yours lose time between you and WR.

Hi, here is the real time world record for Attack of the Killer Tomatos:
Link to video
Make sure to steal its strats and beat it by at least 3 seconds :)
I just thought of something else, for TASes that have 60Hz vibrations of movement it would be good to see if the stream can be capable of displaying what's going on (e.g. is there a good deblinking filter that works in real time?)
I'm like "Dafuq happend" right now. Let me pick up my jaw and mind up from the floor!
One strong yes from me, now I hope to see a TAS of the new Zelda 3DS in the very near future, I'm sure it will be good as well, tho there's still a possibility to get Skyward Sword TAS.
There is currently no emulator for 3DS. But maybe in the future...
After looking at the console verified videos, I think Marble Madness, SMB2 (warpless if there's time, warped otherwise) and Tetris "fastest 999999" would also be strong choices. Of course, I also think that if you're bringing a bunch of TAS bots to an event where everyone is bringing a bunch of games to play and speedgame, you should use this great opportunity to attempt to console verify as many TASes as possible (probably mostly NES given not many SNES runs being Bizhawk yet, but hey), and maybe the options will change at the marathon itself. That would be sweet~
If you're going to be talking about TASing during the block, I think you should be sure to emphasize that TASers and speedrunners help each other out, by proving glitches and tricks and routes are possible to each other and discovering new stuff about the game, and both 'sides' improve the times of the 'other side', and that many speedrunners also TAS. It might also be worth talking about a different kind of TAS which I hear called a theory TAS, which is to demonstrate a mistake-free real time route, not to go for full speed, but to show how good an RTA speedrun route can get.
Very nice. :) Plenty of really tight play. Maybe some brief playaround moments were missed (e.g. with the lumpy Meat Boy clones in the Rapture), but since there's so little waiting time I hardly think it matters. Go on and submit it!
It cannot be submitted for two technical reasons to do with the current version of Hourglass:
1) It has 1 frame random variance on every loading screen that causes desyncs when playing back TASes. Thus, this TAS was segmented and video edited to look single segment.
2) It cannot playback any audio from the game without problems (Hourglass doesn't correctly support XAudio2 so keylie routed it to play nothing)
e.g. if you want to see this on tasvideos, help keylie figure out what on earth to do about these :)
Is Banjo-Tooie supported?
Will there be an easy way to convert to an input file style that only has input on input frames, because IIRC n64 TASBots need to supply input only when the console polls on input frames?
Everything I am seeing is yessssss. I am hyped for awesome N64 TASes now
