You are right, but the main purpose of this site is not to get up strats for normal speedruns, it is just to provide entertainment, and to show how quickly a game can be beaten theoretically.
If you want to see human playing skill, get to SDA ( www.speeddemosarchive.com ).
Again, if you do not like what you see, nobody's forcing you to watch these videos.
Well, I know the Genesis version is slightly inferior, but I'd really prefer a run with (almost) proper sound. Was just pointing out this alternative, it's up to the runner.
Hm if you don't mind redoing what you did so far, I'd recommend using the Genesis version. Gens only seems to have problems with 2 songs (the Beethoven pieces :( ), and it's just that there's one track (right hand playing on piano, as I know these songs myself) missing on these songs, not that it's all messed up.
I think messed up sound takes quite some entertainment value.
But it's up to you what to choose.
I love pretty much all music in this game, really liked the usage of the 1st and 3rd movement of Beethoven's Sonata Quasi Una Fantasia :)
Some may say it's cheaply stolen and they couldn't come up with some own music, but I thought they did a good job :)
ditto, it was awesome when you hit the clock just in time :)
I was always fascinated by the level ISO 9000, just like I was with the End Of Time in Chrono Trigger.
Ok, I watched it. Looked very good :)
Uhm, my sound was fucked up though, I hope this was just because of my settings and not because you needed to do something with it for desyncworkarounds or something.
I'm highly awaiting more, have been interested in this for long, just always thought the puppy love levels would kill a movie of it, awaiting to see how you handle it.
Well, and for things like the quiz show; I'd say skip them as good as possible. If one wants to enjoy the game as a whole he should just play it, we are here to rush the games ;)
Well, but it's up to you how you do it.
I'm listening to all (well not all, I hardly like any black, death and grind) kind of metal genres for the most part, but open for very much.
For metal: I only like the music, I can't stand the culture around it.
:P
Weekly top artists from my last.fm ( http://www.last.fm/user/ExistenZer0/) :
Sonata Arctica, Georg Friedrich Händel, Michael Jackson, Opeth, Zonata, Symphony X, Ludwig van Beethoven, Metallica, Frédéric Chopin, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
You see, pretty mixed up; classical, pop, metal - all there.
My prediction for the future: I'll be listening to less metal, but much more jazz and classical.
I've only heard the 20 minutes long "I" so far, but it's fuckin' awesome. I'll be sure to check out more of their stuff soon.
Also, I really like piano rock, like Tori Amos, Elton John, The Dresden Dolls.
Define "real music" ;)
Tastes are different.
And; different music at different moods, sometimes I want to listen to easy pop, sometimes I want to listen to complex Progressive Metal, Jazz or classical music.
I don't define one genre or band as "the real deal".
Edit: heh yeah noticed afterwards, alright ;)
I don't think they do require this, not everyone has a camcorder. I think you just need a plain VHS recording.
They've had some discussions over this on TwinGalaxies, and the judges said they have their bunch of tricks to test the legitimaty of the videos, if it was recorded on the real thing or an emulator.
Yupp, that's the problem with this, you can't just count on the player's honesty.
For fun and competitions in little circles it's nice, but for real competition it fails due to lack of real evidence. I think the speedrun competitions forum here is quite the right thing.
"Looked slow and entertaining" heh
Weird game huh, voting yes, looked entertaining even though the main character walks like a snail.
I'm not sure I want to try this game, looked damn hard :P
