Well, the movie is technically ok, but the game just doesn't have anything to offer.
There isn't much variation in the moves and the enemies have the same amount of personality as your common brick. The graphics were quite nice for a SNES game, but that doesn't warrant the publishing of this movie.
No, because the game is just not good for timeattacking.

Nice to see this one being done too. :)
I don't have advice or anything, because I have never played this one. I'm posting just to say I'm watching your progress. ;)

I tried to watch it, but ran into some serious desynch-problems. I tried to different (U) -roms, but no luck. Could you please paste the info about the rom you're using?

... wow.
Careful planning has definetly paid off. There were so many cool tricks done it almost seems surreal. Entertainment value off the scale. A definite yes.
....
Did I already say "wow"?

I liked it and I would very much like to see the Super Star Wars done as well.
Side-scrolling stages were fun to watch and first-person shooter -stages were well done too. Only the 'driving' stages were a bit boring, but when the movie is this short that doesn't matter.
It would have been funny to see a 'bad' ending to the game though, if you didn't save your comrades from the fray. 'You fool, did you forget something? The rebels are doomed and you are at fault!'
Anyway, a clear yes.

i dont think it would be a problem to distribute the movies in that format, i mean, there are rom sites, right, what happens to them? nothing, why?
Because the copyright holders don't care. But even if the holders don't care, it doesn't make distributing said material legal. You could get sued with copyright infringement, but most likely the company that hosts this page gets a mail from a legal firm asking to the page be shut down.
Anyway, I don't see the point. The current system works just fine and the files aren't THAT big. Or if you don't want the AVI-files you can still get the emulator movies. Getting them to work isn't a very big feat.
And the seeding problem; Some files have already been uploaded to archive.org and you can get them there. For other files, dunno, bother people on IRC or just wait.

if/when GBA movies are allowed:
Final Fantasy Tactics Advance - can be beaten very quickly, especially with abusing luck
Megaman Battle Network (whichever one is shortest) - maybe worthwhile
I would love to see these, but they are going to be LONG. Well maybe you could shorten MMBN significantly if evading random battles is possible. You can manipulate luck to get good chips to battles you need to fight so those wouldn't take so long.
I doubt FFTA could be done very quickly, but then again, I haven't played too much of it. Anyway, looking forward to any run of this game too.
Apart from these I'd like to see Castlevania games on GBA. Played all of them once and I think they would be make awesome time attacks and the shortest routes aren't that long.

I don't see the point in using emulated 'overclocking' to get rid of lag. These videos would then lose their touch with reality, as there most like aren't too many 'clocked NES-consoles around.
I think some of the appeal of these videos come from the fact that they could be theoretically done with a stock console. It would be the equivalent of allowing people in the speedrunning scene to use overclocked consoles to get their games running faster.

Heh, that was quite funny, at least compared to other flash productions seen in the past. And while being funny it has some good points.
EDIT: Forgot to mention that I was impressed with the overall production quiality and voice-acting.
I don't think Lezard wanted to make fun of this board and/or it's users. Maybe he just provided a funny link?

I'll hijack the thread for a bit to remind people of VG Music remixers, two largest(?) sites are VGMix and OverClocked ReMix.
And before anyone has the chance to ask, no, I don't do any remixes, I'm just an avid fan and listener. ;)

Ogre Battle was wonderful. Nicely done, though it might be too slow for people who have never played it.
Anyway, looking forward to seeing completed version. :)

That was so bad it isn't even funny. There's nothing wrong with the actual playing though.
That game is bad that it's entertainment value is far below zero and it isn't too impressive. I don't think it should be accepted because this game hasn't got anything to offer. A link to this thread from the guidelines page might be fitting maybe.
And does the game continue looping the same stage or what?
EDIT: And at least the [o2] version matched the checksum perfectly.

Overall I liked the run, especially the shorcuts gained by using beacon glitch. Skipping the whole door puzzle was nice.
I'm with Blublu on the final battle. The first half of the battle looked good, until you hit the ship once without getting the missile stuck in ground. Couldn't it be manipulated so that you can get all the required hits without waiting for missiles to reignite? Especially the last hit took quite much longer than the rest of them.
Anyway, whilst I feel the final battle could be improved somewhat, the other parts of the run are quite well played and provide solid entertainment. Yes.

Very nice, it's amazing you could shave off 8 minutes of the time.
Carefully planned and well executed, I especially liked the parts with speed scrolls (who doesn't?). A clear yes-vote.

I don't think think you can get the full experience out of a game (especially true with RPGs) if you only watch it being played at uber-speed.
I would vouch for english versions if the games were played to 100% completion and there were longer pauses for the texts. Anyway, I don't feel the point of those videos are the story, but the feat of going through with them incredibly fast using every trick possible.
The audience for 4+ runs is quite small too and most of them are people who have played the game through before. So I don't really care which version the game is run on, I wouldn't watch run of an RPG I have never played.
EDIT: Oh wait, I forgot to vote. I'll go with 'Meh'. ;)

I liked this one very much. It played fine after correcting the settings to those suggested in the submission notes.
The overall speed combined the huge number of explosions (if they are chain ed explosions even better) and skillful planning make this a very entertaining movie. Especially the last boss was very nicely done.
You got it improved by quite a lot and it seems good in terms of time and excellent in entertainment.
A clear yes-vote.

This game looks like it's pain to play on a real console, let alone without maps or faqs.
Anyway, great planning, good execution. Especially good when you stack those speed scrolls, but interesting watch anyway.
Yes.

As with the previews, very good work.
Nice that they had a slightly different version of the dungeon theme music for the last stages, it was getting a bit boring. ;)

4. 600 AD - (bridge) I dont think you need to kill skeleton (not boss) to move on, kill Ozzy first will destroy skeletons also (I could be wrong - forgot to check this one out)
This can indeed be done, Ozzie's loses control of the deceased if you attack him a few times. However, if I'm correct that doesn't work on the second instance you fight Ozzie & deceased.
Still looking nice, but I wonder would using fire whirl be faster against Zombor than fire punch (or something)? Also Volt Bite works wonders against Nizbel, but maybe that would take too many battles to obtain.

I'm with TNSe here. Good run, but the game is a bit on the boring side. There's simply too much autoscrolling stages and superman isn't exactly Gradius.
Anyway, I'll go with meh. I can't decide what to vote, the run is good and the game is boring.
