Can you give an example of a GH3 song that is known to not be score-maxed in real time? I would have thought it would be 'trivial' (e.g. at worst a few frame perfect tricks per song) from my understanding.
EDIT: Hmm, that's right, you need to hit every hold at the first (frame? tick?) too. That could get tedious.
I think, apart from the repetitiveness which other people have mentioned, the problem from an entertainment perspective is demonstrated by the title of the Youtube encode: "Tekken 2 in 2:20.63 (35.98 in-game)". So three-quarters of the running-time of this TAS is not watching frame-perfect fights, it's watching loading screens. Ironically, the faster a TAS of this kind becomes, the greater the proportion of it in which nothing happens at all.
I agree with hegyak: it's a Vault movie, but it's a good Vault movie.
Doesn't in-game time pause whenever someone dies? But the fight is still ongoing. So your claim that 'three quarters of the TAS is loading screens' is wrong.
I just noticed the branch was changed from any% to newgame+. Was this done by Mothrayas?
It was me, why?
Ok, just curious. I think naming things that are 'has a clear file on cart/on memory card or has ever cleared the game before' newgame+ in addition to things that are 'beat the game, selected that save file explicitly and started a new game again' newgame+ is novel/in particular, not what the RTA community does with such games (SotN, DKR and DK64 are the three examples I can think of). It's worth discussing in a thread of its own.
Congrats, Forgonemoose!
Someone posted this glitch on reddit.com/r/speedrun. One of the ghosts didn't spawn for them, nor did the timer, so they could run through red - barrels at their leisure. Might save some time for a TAS.

Wow, very cool looking glitch! Perhaps you should try using a memory editor in saturn emulator to artificially make SOS possible to do, to see if it works the same as in PS1, and also look and see what stats and pointers are immediately after the inventory in saturn (for instance, is there an equivalent to the music pointer? I imagine the music works differently, but how much differently?) and if you can do anything cool with it, that should make you more motivated to find a way to set up SOS ;)
Oh, I was thinking of werster's version differences pastebin. http://pastebin.com/kBENQqJ4 But I guess this only applies to RTA. Maybe FractalFusion can talk about why he chose gold over silver, because he didn't say in his TAS notes.
(For those who don't know, Save corruption is not known to be possible on PSP, Saturn or XBLA atm, which means no SOS/Total Control on those versions for now)
I'm very glad to see this on the queue, but Bizhawk always runs really slowly for me when I try to watch stuff in the emulator. I don't know if that's just a sign my computer is a little old, or if I've misconfigured Bizhawk, but I'll probably need an encode to watch this.
