This thread is the VH1 of TASVideos.
You come expecting beautiful art, and leave having watched Flavor Flav kick a skank out of his house.
Stop the flame wars. Stay on topic.
What projects are even being worked on currently, anyway?
symbolic X: I don't know much about the game, but can you explain why you changed classes briefly?
Also, it really looks like the room transitions are unoptimized, as far as screen position when entering/exiting rooms.
Can you also explain why you fought Pandarm once?
Voted no before even reading the thread. I will point out though, if you needed to input your name in Super Mario Bros, I'd bet the farm that you guys would fight over the frames saved in it and it'd be a much more controversial topic.
I was thoroughly impressed with your Guile exhibition. I especially liked the counter-breaking combo during SFTM. Just have one question, though: During the last CvS2 fight (where you were using N-Groove), how were you able to use Sonic Hurricane with only one sphere stocked?
In N-Groove, to use a Level 3 super, you need to 'activate' before using the super. He activates at 12:05.
I notice when you first go to the church to get your Aspirant title for death warping, you need to watch him say the whole message, but later on in Branch and one other place you don't need to wait for his message.
Is that first title text skippable?
Also, is this the only game where religion is NOT evil?
It's been a while since I've played the game -- but what are you going to do with the Change Rod that you picked up in the Village of Mist? Does it have a special power, or just a high attack? The Lilith Rod has a higher attack, but I can see that it would probably be difficult to find it, although it is possible to get on Mt. Ordeals.
He did switch Tellah into it briefly for the Dark Elf fight, but that may have just been to kill time.
Great job, inichi! Couple questions:
1) How exactly do you perform the de-equip glitch? I saw your first demo of this and still wasn't sure what was going on.
2) Why reset before Guardian (and Masamune), is it to reset the critical hit tables?
It actually looks like you create a bit of lag when first waiting for Mother Brain to rise up, just before the mini-platform goes away you throw out some bombs, lagging for a frame or two.
I'd still be way entertained by a sub-20 run of Faxanadu. Can you do the pause trick in two frames (one to pause, one to unpause) or is there a delay on it? If for every 64 frames you had to be paused for 10 of them, I'm not sure the tradeoff would be worth it.
I watched a non-TAS speedrun of this on Youtube, it was painfully boring and not very entertaining at all. Get weapon, use it, kick a lot, get weapon, etc.
Can't this thread discuss anything besides the fucking credit ladder for each frame saved in this game? What a waste of time.
I've been lurking in the thread for quite a while. A month ago, the trolling and flamewars really got tiresome. But in the past week, people have actually been posting new tricks and techniques.
Try to see past the crap. Whatever's being said, it's getting people to post things.
Im attempting to beat the current record of the game, but it most likely wont happen lol. Anyways, can any of you guys see why this run is 1 minute behind the current record? (I can't get the fcm file to run on my Rom).

Well, first off the music/timing is a bit off, it sounds like you are using PAL vs NTSC or something. You actually lag in 8-1 at points.
Your pipe handling in 1-2 and 8-1 is a bit worse than perfect, but I just stopped watching when you got 6 fireworks in 8-1.
Good stuff. I almost thought Palom was going to get killed right before the boss dies for more XP then finish it off with Cecil.... if what Bob A asked is true, it would make sense.
Why would you do that? Cecil's about to become level 1. :)
