If you don't save, it doesn't matter if you beat the game. Saving just creates the base file the game needs to append the CLEAR conditions to it when you do beat it.
ActRaiser is the same way. If you play the game with a blank SRAM file, then beat it, Professional! Mode won't be unlocked.
<s>I'm encoding this in 4K HD, but it will take a while... this means that nothing else on the workbench can be encoded in HD by me, either.
I hope this isn't published too fast, I won't be able to keep up.</s>
Unless someone wants to give me a Fiber Optic connection, I refuse to upload a 20 gigabyte or higher file to YouTube.
Sad thing is, I actually remember that commercial when it ORIGINALLY ran. Am I dating myself here?
BTW, I never remember getting 6 strategy guides. I swear they only did 4 and said "screw this" and started selling guides individually from the main subscription.
Awesome run. One question - are all the bosses required in order to reach the Abyss? Or is it just to improve stats?
How interesting of Konami to reuse Dracula's "true form" sprite from SotN for Soma's "true form". ^^;;
Odd, the Samus I knew uses the Power Beam on her right hand.
Just seeing all the distinct objects/characters takes some work. This appears to be a decent job.
While it's correct, it's intending to portray the original poster, which had Luke holding a blaster in his left hand.
The hack is kinda meh. The fact that the music constantly resets are you're going through is kinda obnoxious. It's not like the original where it changed for a room then changed back, it's just resetting for no apparent reason.
I would like to see the Wii version over the PSX, but I'll take whichever I can get.
Any particular reason why? Sure the Wii version looks better but then we'd have to sit through Klonoa's horrible English voice whenever the author double jumps.
You do realize that the Phantomile voicing is still in the Wii version, right?
The quality of the game is much higher, so seeing the remake would be cooler. Or as a compromise, do a low% run on one version and 100% on the other.
This is like the Maxim run, only it's beyond the ridiculous level. It might be a bit more entertaining to have a Lv 1 run, but at Lv 255, it's kinda dull. Are we watching Order of Ecclesia, or Superman?
Notes about flash man:
1. You stopped while killing the first enemy.
2. You didn't jump off of all ledges, which if you jump off it speeds you up.
3. Your flash man fight was not optimal. You started attacking too late and you were very high up at the end, which costs frames.
The majority of it wasn't too bad though for a first TAS.
Personally, I don't care for this hack. The only things I liked about it:
1. Use of Kirby's Adventure for Crash Man's level.
2. Fixing the Item 1 & 2 flipping error.
3. Wily 4 boss.
Voting NO on game choice.
