While there are some mistakes, usually only strictly speed-oriented runs can go to Vault. Non-speed oriented goals are TASed for the sake of entertainment, right? And if they fail to entertain, their existence isn't justified. Otherwise unlimited amount of boring esoteric goals could flood the site.
The benefit is that when overwriting a save file the game gives an extra prompt asking if you want to overwrite it. Coping the memory card right after formatting it, and then copying it back after each save would avoid this. This is useful where save warps are used, and once a file is loaded it's never needed again. Since memory cards can be removed and files can be copied using freely available methods, this could even easily be done during a real time speedrun.
Now, for my own opinions: - If something can be physically done to the console without opening it nor damaging it, it should be acceptable.
I'm all caught up now.
They should give them mustaches and armpit hairs. Humanization ftw
I'm saying that it doesn't belong in the Vault, since movies in the Vault can only be any% or 100% (fastest time). The only other place the run could be published would be Moons.
Besides, a few people found it really entertaining, so that sounds like the best place for it anyway.
Finding the Movie Class Guidelines page is quite difficult.
1. Since this is a playaround, it should be moved to the Moons tier since runs that don't aim for fastest time (as the author originally said it didn't) are ineligible for the Vault.
Holy crap they have ears
actually, the S stands for Superplay for quite a while
1. Everyone who says [random technique] abuses [platform] not the game: it's part of the gameplay, deal with it. 2. Anyone who says it's not the part of the gameplay: it's part of the gameplay, carry on. 3. Resetting the game with various buttons, using "unexpected" ( there's no such thing the game thinks unexpected, there are "checks" and there are "routines" that do things depending on the conditions), buttons (famicom keyboard), the reset button, the power on/off button, resetting mid-frame, corrupting memory, corrupting save games, using 4 players for 1 player games, disc swapping, remove batteries/power supply, it's part of the gameplay, move on. If you have any questions, feel free to read step 1 or 2 or 3.
People can use their own websites and youtube channels for content they find appealing but is unsuitable to the site's purpose.We're TASpeedruns after all,and i'm glad changes were made for the pure speed entertainmentless runs(like mtvf1's work with Battle Chip Challenge),but it would just be uncharacteristic to do the complete opposite.
Does "intended route" also account for "intended gameplay"?
However, if I started such a run, I'd also add all possible glitches due to personal preference. Playaround is better when it also showcases the glitches a normal speedrun wouldn't.
Why don't you make your own run with all your tastes applied finally?
I find there to be a significant practical difference between cutting the power supply and resetting, especially in the case of handheld consoles: left, right, B, A and whatever other buttons are simply buttons on the device. So is the reset button. They're pretty much next to each other. On what (subjective) basis do you make the distinction between e.g. the Start button and the reset button?
About resets: Speedrunners reset all the time, for savewarping but also for so called "heavy glitching".
That's why I see no point in voicing the opinion that is NOT INFRINGED UPON ALREADY. This opinion is given a free road to contribute. Why act like it isn't? If a country has officially allowed religion A, this doesn't mean officially allowed religion B is automatically hurt by that fact.
In any case, I was wondering what your various personal opinions are about whether the following should be allowed in a TAS: ... - Resetting during a save operation
