Dear Fabian, I did many timeattacks, I did encoded movies, uploaded .torrent at suprnova.org and some other sites, uploaded movies at internet archive.org, created some FAQs, edited some pages, published movies, active at the forum , the first to use x264 video codec which was revolutionary for this site and I did this all for this community. How can you say I am selfish when I did more than most guys for this community?

That is, I don't see you as the type of person who likes giving straight and honest answers to questions, especially not when they are difficult.
The irony is that many people thinks I am direct and probably too much. Why are you saying the opposite?

If we meet in America, I will give you permission to call me Fabby.
It reminds me of some discussions I got involved. For you, what is America, a country or the continent? And why? Do you like me? Do you think I should create a "Ask Phil" thread? What kind of person do you think I am. If possible i want you to describe me.

Super Mario World, Super Demo World, Super Metroid (and some of its hacks), Sonic 1, 2 and 3, Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, SMB 3. If it's not one of those games I'm probably not watching it, so either pick one of them or pick whatever :)
Will you make an exception with SMB2?

I do think banning people is generally a good choice to make a community start sucking less. I don't think there's much point in saying what my thoughts on possible bannings in this community are. Not looking for flamefests in this thread, I want to avoid that stuff.
If you want, you can pm.

Dear Fabian I feel sad that you couldn't answer all my questions due to lack of information. What game do you want me to TAS? You said to Bisqwit: "The important part of a community is its members and if they suck you're not left with many options as the admin." One of those options is to ban some troublemaker(s). Do you think it's a good solution? If yes, who do you think should be banned?

Dear Fabian, Why JXQ uses the word "hypocrite" and its derivals and synonims so often? And why do some people think it's my word when it's obvious it's JXQ's word when I only use his weapon against him? Who wrote: "there's only one player - controlling both characters! That's really hard to do." ? And why some people think it's me who wrote that? Why do I think JXQ and you are boyfriends(gay)?

Dear Fabian, What are your favorite TV series? Do you think marijuana should be legalized? What is your opinion about death sentences? How babies are made? Adelikat said: "and Phil is the last person that should be criticizing". What do you think of that? Is Fabian your real name? JXQ said: "Apparently Billy "won" because Phil's and immature power-abuser...". What do you think about that? What do you think of current JXQ's signature?

I do respect that you love them, and part of some gang, that's your life but why, particularly JXQ?

Did you like watching this movie?
adelikat wrote:
TMNT3 is so boring to me. But this movie is much less boring than the published 1 player movie. It is also well executed. I vote yes that this obsolete the 1 player movie.
I hope you didn't voted yes in the poll... because it doesn't look like that you like watching that movie.

Since we know that v19 is inaccurate and runs might not be as quick in v20, personally, I think you should go with v20. I'm currently doing SCV4 with Angerfist and encounters the same problem. However, the extra losing frames, from now on, seems to only happen during fadeout screen transition. To solve the problem, I am using, thanks to moozooh, an in-game timer memory address that stops during screen transition. So far it seems 100% reliable. There might be a similar trick for your game. Or you could do like JXQ and Cardboard did with their Bionic Commando run. They made a table that compares the U with J version.

I agree with BoltR. It's not because the poll is removed that people can't leave commentaries.

Well, you should mention which Snes9x version, OS , game and ROM you are using. Because now, no one can help you.

Ninja Gaiden is not even a Konami game and I suspect some others in your list too.

Personally my favorite NES Konami games was Contra, Super Contra, Blades of Steel, The Goonies, TMNT 2, Twinbee, CV3, Jackal. For Snes, it was SCV4, Sunset Riders, TMNT4, Contra 3. I didn't played much Genesis because I never really liked it but there was 2 games I found good. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Hyperstone Heist and Castlevania Bloodlines. On Playstation: Suikoden 1 and 2 CV SOTN Contra: Legacy of War There are many other games that looks cool that I didn't played such as Vandal Hearts. I didn't played Playstation 2 games but someday, I will try Suikoden 3 and others. I am going to play Akumajo Dracula X: Chi no Rondo to see why CV fans love it so much. I'm surpised that no one did mentioned Dance Dance Revolution :P Anyway today, I think the Contra series and TMNT4 deserves an award. I still continue to play them and I find them as good as before.

Personally, I won't write same things over and over again. There are already those xtricks page for that. If it doesn't exist, then create it yourself. Btw, it's so easy to understand the tricks yourself if you try YOURSELF.

Within the emu or with an editor. As for emu, it's explained in the FAQ.

I think if you have a 370 finishing 1-1 you definately get the fastest time. I thought it was added at the end of the level. The backwards jump does save time there.
What do you mean?

How can you jump through firebars? I think that's one of the only things I don't understand when watching smb speedruns.
I don't remember jump through firebars in every runs.

Imo, there is already too much movies of this genre. Seriously, they are so boring to watch that I don't know why they're on the site. Maybe cool to play but no cool to watch.

Much better than spoonshiro's in 15:19.37.
Indeed. I did voted yes because it was interesting. Though, I wonder if it would be possible to obtain an extra life at 1st bonus to use it later at elevator. It could maybe save some time.

From what I see, there are two main arguments here: People who believe the run is publish-worthy argue that due to the fact that this is such a mammoth improvement over Guano's run it deserves to be published, regardless of the lack of optimization and polish. People who believe the run should not be punished argue that despite the fact that this TAS is similar to Swordless Link and AKA's 1 star sm64 run in terms of innovation, it doesn't hold up to the standards set by other TAS's on this site. The run itself is an amazing demonstration of programming errors and sequence breaks. It's not an amazing TAS. Considering that this is a site for TAS's first and foremost, I'm voting no. I really enjoyed watching this run, but the lack of optimization doesn't hold up to the stringent standards of the other speedruns posted here. I would love to see a more optimized version of it, though >:3
I didn't watched it nor do I intend to but all I could say is that movies published with errors tend to be improved early or late since people noticing those obvious errors feel forced to improve those runs. In opposite, rejecting it, might even discourage people to work on it due to many reasons.

Imo, OpenDML supports would be better but splitting to 2Gb is not bad too. Just a little more work for encoding process :P
