Arm Wrestling is the best punch out spinoff you never knew existed. No ports, it was only ever an arcade release. It loops forever, but after the second loop it never has new patterns (though it might keep getting harder in terms of timing, no one has tested). Both score and speed are interesting goals, since you can't milk anything indefinitely due to the time limit.
http://www.twitch.tv/macaw45 does score runs of this game.
Yeah, I'm not sure why tasvideos doesn't accept MAME-RR TASes...
Because right now, there's no proof it can be successfully TASed on. If someone finishes a high quality run, it's obviously such a proof, and as long as it can be used, there must appear a new movie parser.
The only question towards MAME is how complete its savestates are, and how deterministic they are. But actual testing automatically resolves that. Exact % of games with officially complete savestates is yet to be found out (not hard at all), but I'm damn sure it's high enough for us.
BTW, MAME-rr can be compiled with UI (in future).
So you are saying if, for example, £e Nécroyeur submits a MAME-RR TAS of Donkey Kong and one of the editors can get it to sync and make an encode, then tasvideos now accepts MAME-RR TASes?
This might be a misunderstanding of the mechanics, but at 0:44 instead of jumping from the high point, could you have dropped down, jumped such that you enter the wall at 0:46 at the peak of the jump (or as high as you can get without having to slow down - could jump earlier than 0:44 so you clear the high point with downward momentum for example, so you can jump again earlier) so that you enter the wall at the same time (because you never slowed down horizontally) but higher, so you save time?
Spoiler of the upcoming stage 1 WIP: 144 chains! (afaik nobody achieved more than 138 chains unassisted). I spent about 10 hours on the last bonus enemies :(
