Current Genesis: [1140] Genesis Sunset Riders "2 players" by zggzdydp in 10:00.47 Available SNES Submission: #2323: arykado's SNES Sunset Riders in 18:55.52 It appears to be more detailed compared to the SNES counterpart. Also this video would be more appropriate as it compares SNES to Gens not SNES to Arcade: Link to video SNES is apparently more in-line to a true Arcade port whereas the Genesis version apparently isn't. Genesis has cut levels in its version.

Oh God someone's has gone and actually done it. AND IT ISN'T EVEN APRIL FOOLS Here's an entire section about this in BootlegGames. Unfortunately for you this game has 5 stages if I'm not mistaken. And there could be arguments to never get this published due to what could be the controversial image. I also want to point out this was done on the snes9x core not the recommended BSNES core. And for anyone about to ask about language selection (and giving an explanation). Selecting Chinese is faster at loading the intro compared to Japanese/English. Speaking of which your input isn't optimal. You can switch between X/B/A/Y whilst you stuck on A after every lag frame instead of changing it to advance quicker. This is just a heavy No vote. --- Edit: Done. 2117 frames. (No one provide an encode) Relevant Addresses: 0x000ED4 and 0x000ED4: Tracker for 30 required kills. (one's a total the other is a tracker that resets) 0x000701: Deng Xiaoping's health. There's also an invincibility item (syringe) that shows up in the game probably with appropriate timing and such you can probably bang it down further, but I'd rather just deal out this somewhat sloppy optimal TAS instead. Deng Xiaoping is taken down in 164 frames (00:02.73 seconds) compared to your 7.15. --- Edit 2: Just realized I could've just dumped the submission from 2012 here instead of working on one: #3457: mlw7's SNES Hong Kong 97 in 00:38.98.

Well that method of (not) attack(ing) would be useful in the more dire situations for a pacifist TAS. Nice one N?K.

The author has changed the branch and a few words to "no killing" from "pacifist/m". There has been points added in for 4-1 (seems to be a typo for 4-3) and 5-1, also known as feos' points. The point you made for 5-1 can be disagreed with as you're scaling with no enemies present at that point, it doesn't clear up the up-ahead aspect. For 4-3 on the other hand. It's something that can be looked into with health management. I do want something cleared up and that's how you set out to fight the bosses compared to Aglar's TAS.

I do have a temp encode coming in if the author has no encode. This is a well executed superhuman TAS that unfortunately I watched back at double the speed due to how slow the game is. I want to give you congrats on doing this and playing so well through this entire game but unfortunately for entertainment I'm giving this a Meh. Link to video

Despite that, the comments in my own YouTube channel for Castlevania are largely positive.
Your YouTube channel might be fine with how the Castlevania run was presented but on TASVideos or on GDQ you need to see what they're talking about to round it off. You cannot stay in a single circle when there's another 2 waiting for you to see them and to reflect on their comments as well. Your own channel will usually be more supportive to you and that's a given and that's usually a positive to keep on persevering but as people have pointed out in both the forums and mainly the GDQ upload it's not best to wrap around yourself around that. Yes, you can have the one or two comments going about the commentary compared to the vast majority but on the official hub for GDQ they can and do have a different story to your own account. This is the importance of compare and contrast. If you're only listening to a single hub, it's not the best indicator. Even Reddit won't be the perfect round off as even there is split to different sections.

Please avoid using preformatted text on your next edit. I've cleaned it up from having it and formatted to what looked to how it was intended by you.
Edit: I wanted to include a 2nd movie file that performs these couple of inputs as well, but could only upload one file.
You can upload your input here and post it back here: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/my#uploadfile There's a bit of an issue because of this now. We're currently comparing early input end to the full movie with all input. I am curious on how much time is saved when the full input is provided to the party, for reference here's the previous: [2893] GBA Golden Sun by kien_ in 3:12:47.59 But I believe you clock in about 10 minutes faster if I'm not mistaken compared to the previous movie. --- The author being a runner of Golden Sun does have a YouTube and Twitch account so an encode might be provided from them down the line so just wait on the author for their encode and even the possibility of commentary due to being a talkative runner.

I'm curious on how people would react to this as the definition of "pacifist" is that "war and violence isn't justified" and here we have Batman punching thugs at certain points. The only TAS that has shown us pacifism is Contra and that's strictly not dealing any damage to an enemy unless it's a boss. Mainly due to regular enemies being struck down in one shot. Also I believe this TAS is comparable to the non-pacifist TAS at certain points from what I've watched. And there are errors within your TAS that someone might just make a table of unfortunately. --- This is an interesting run for a newcomer to provide and it's well executed but it is questionable with the branch choice as it is dealing damage. And mainly just for fixing input enjoy a cleaner movie file in regards to the odd input being pressed on Player 2's controller which is meant to be ignored by the game.

stares at the capitalization of the second "s" If anyone wants the full-list on what I wrote. PokemonRGBY, PokemonGSC, PokemonRSE, PokemonFRLG, PokemonDPP, PokemonHGSS, PokemonBW, PokemonXY, PokemonORAS, PokemonSM, PokemonLGPE. There was and argument against how Platinum is a different mechanics to Diamond and Pearl so I wrote: PokemonDP, PokemonPlatinum Which is an odd point since well... Red and Green is different to Red and Blue and by extension Yellow and Crystal is different to Gold and Silver. On the "How it should be approached" side, maybe something towards how many Pokemon are within each generation and implemented into the game (Basically the list). Due to the older titles receiving remakes and having a different amount of obtainable Pokemon to the generation which the engine is based on.

I'm a tad confused by directions chosen in this TAS. In the Long Jump you decided to get record then fail the other two times but in Archery you get the record but instead of shot wasting you repeated the record score. This might be due to lack of knowledge of how the game operates but it's an oddity to me that I want explained if the shots can't be wasted if they always go to the backboard. We also have the "World Record" animation presented 3 times in Archery due to this. In High Jump you hit record but is it the highest possible score as I'm going off the assumption everything else was highest possible but you went straight for the qualified height in High Jump. I'm also curious if you can select the height you can jump over in this event. The TAS feels like a blend of mixmatching a few elements that have been done in other Olympic/Track & Field TASes. I don't know how to feel about it so I'm just abstaining my vote.

One of these issues seems to be partially resolved and the other one only affects me (unless someone does the same thing I do). Any video that was uploaded and publicized between 12pm-UTC to about 2am-UTC will only appear on the subscription feed and not the user's Uploaded Section. To clarify, it would appear for a brief moment within the upload section for a few hours before somehow disappearing. The recent publication of Violent Storm was fortunate to dodge this bullet being published before this error occoured. This might not classify as an "error report" but I do want to remind people of the great "fun" back here where videos were up and deleted on YouTube's end and there is a possibility it can come back around to that. To give some context if you want to see an example later down the line if it gets completely fixed. YouTube channel DigitalFoundry uploaded a video showcasing performance of Resident Evil 2 (2019) on all platforms. They're planning 3 videos for the game's release and currently 2 parts are out. However, only one can be selectable if you're not subscribed to them and using the uploads tab. Update: That's been fixed: https://twitter.com/TeamYouTube/status/1089305583314849792 And for the one that only affects me (unless someone does the same thing I do): 1/2 weeks ago, 4k videos had a brief moment where it wouldn't process out correctly until YouTube fixed that issue on their end. Unfortunately in the same period where 4k broke, 8k has been broken and is still currently broken and videos will not process past this point (I've had this "joy" since the 17th). Edit: Turns out if you're above 4k it's just going to fail. So anything above 4k will just fail. --- Actually since I did mention it I actually want to wrap around back to that since I just rechecked on them.

Edit: Welp, I did infact wait. YouTube nuked 'em.
The videos have been un-nuked and they all get the nice presence of being classified as "[Deleted Video]". YouTube's such a great platform.

Sorry, I can't write a decent apology for the life of me but I'll at least try to. I want to apologize on the TVC Incident. It was inappropriate. I'm sorry to the other site members. It was petty and it got our of hand. I'm sorry to HappyLee & Mars608 for undermining your TAS with this stunt.

A user has provided me with screenshots of a conversation with spikestuff in a private message on discord in which he essentially bragged about intentionally flooding TASVideos Channel with re-encodes after Super Mario Bros. was published: https://imgur.com/a/fHTf4XM.
The album is backwards as a note. These comments came from last week and it was basically going through the breakdown of what occurred. A blacked out comment it says "There's another reason Lee hates me." before showing TVC with Lee's TAS being shadowed. In leaving that comment out it probably comes out as bragging for the TVC side. My position on HappyLee's TAS was well known and the attitude he was presenting during the entire time. The TVC subscribers is basically learning the fact people weren't like/used to a GDQ upload style on TVC. You've also taken the side of reflection on the incident as "bragging" as the full context isn't looked into. "Noticing filters." One of my older encodes for one my own account which unfortunately is deleted had comments hating how there's a filter on it. So some people would notice and others won't that's an up in the air one on how a person perceives it.

Let's also just quickly go down the line of sites, about my activity. Deviantart. I'm not even active on the site, the last thing I did on that site was back in 2015. So that one's quite a stretch. The tweet mocking is when I want to easily join in on a conversation that I've missed on, it's not the only ones I make. By extension this comment was noticing how the likes/dislikes are coming in something I haven't seen in some time. Spikestuff wasn't the only one that was involved on that date of TVC. Crash: Warped was what you're just going to end up writing as a "coincidence" cause that's what it is. My method of looking at Crash/Spyro/Tekken TASes is every week/fortnight. I search in YouTube and go "by week" and conveniently that TAS showed up. I want to see new progress (and sometimes I hit clone TVC accounts). The8bitbeast and I are on normal terms to one another. --- Seeing as you also like to provide images well. Here's an entire album dedicated to BrunoVisnadi and everything he directed to me from the start of this entire thing. I've done nothing but exist in both October and now and apparently existing is a more than enough reason for him to continue to pursue in this behaviour. I'll leave the site if you want to go to the extreme. But I honestly got nothing on this as I've done nothing in the involvement department about the YouTube part. I'm not going to continue repeating myself. I'll say "I did it" or "X did it" to shut you up, but then that'd be a lie coming out from me when I don't know about this. --- Edit: Only doing this one as a note.

Yeah? What about this comment where you literally put between 2 asterisks "Going through the other accounts"? You literally admitted you were using multiple accounts the DAY the sockpuppets were created. Will you argue it was a coincidence?
This one is being misinterpreted that's kinda what I deserve for not chain tweeting this. It was in referral to the person who switched accounts which lead to this happening. This is a whole other can of worms. Just so you know.

Just a question. Since you do bring it up in your submission text. FCEUX brings this up: comment author by zyr2288 Is this TAS combing Soig's input at level 3 to zyr's all round and you're cleaning it all up meaning that the authors are yourself, zyr and Soig? --- Great job mashing up the input if that's the case and for a newcomer it's well done.

Original: Link to video Simple 1500 Series version "Plus": Link to video They're both treated as a fighter TAS where getting it to the lowest required score is selected in the menu. Both are played on hardest, further info in the description.

Memory was more or less asking the difference between how the characters are. This information came from strategywiki. Wade: Balanced/All Rounder. Boris: High Attack. Kyle: High Speed, Low Attack.

Deliberately dropping the vote after the light being shone on your behavior and then keeping up the persistence Arc well that is a dick move for you to do. I mean I've heard it's possible to have your Ratings on Published movies revoked, but that was for extreme cases. Edit: It's been restored. GG.

It was to. Blanked that one out of memory somehow. Yeah Shovel Knight would've been a better bet in that case since people still know that game. Actually that would've been a good bid war. "Which mode would you like to see?"
