Giving it a Meh. The OoB was a cool discovery and all, but it wears thin extremely quickly, especially since the camera isn't following what they're doing.

Not bad for a Lynx game. I'll give it a Yes.

A question, would this run be a separate branch of Sonic 2, or obsolete the current one? After all, it's faster by a few seconds. Yes vote to whatever run comes out of this and WST's collab.

Not a huge fan of Mario, but this run was really entertaining. Yes vote.

This run was an improvement over the run previous to this run. I am now voting Yes because it entertained me.

Nah it was just a coincidence.

Followed this from the start. Poor game didn't stand a chance. Yes vote of course.

Also, were you able to stop the hands while doing the spin? Is that what I was seeing?
Actually I'm just tapping them to keep them stunlocked.

Why would you want to play the game without hearing one specific track? Like, what's the point? Just mute the game when you go in the minigame or something.

Not unless you buy a specialized keyboard. You can only hold 3 or 4 keys with a normal one.

Unless the palette glitch saves time, I personally don't like it very much.
Hate to be a dissenting opinion, but it brings some much needed variety to this godforsaken game. The game actually looks like a proper TAS now. It has glitches, rng manipulation, and a ton of optimization put into it. Sucks it's still a slow stroll, but eh can't have it both ways. Quoting myself:

I say wait on this run for a little while. Spoilers are still a thing, after all.

Oh, you finished it already? Nice (You also don't need to coauthor me, as you didn't use any of my input, after all). Giving it a Meh. Would usually give it a No, but the improvements to the old run bumped it up quite a bit.

Making a quick encode. Will give thoughts when its done. Edit: Link to video This game is horrible. The visuals, gameplay, and audio are all bad. But that doesn't mean the TAS itself is bad. In fact, it appears to be well optimized. Giving it a No for entertainment, and recommending it for the Vault.

[1390] NES The Blues Brothers by J.Y in 03:39.77 Older one, but it's very entertaining. [2966] GB Trip World by MUGG in 05:10.91 To be honest, I wasn't expecting this run to be as good as it is. It sort of creeps up on you, I guess. But this is easily one of the best GB TASes this year. [1760] DS Ivy the Kiwi? "100%" by Ryuto in 15:23.86 Blindingly fast? Blindingly fast.

Oh boy glad the topic went off topic in the off topic forum for off topic things that are still on topic off topically. I'm happy for Narcissa, and I'm glad that she's figured stuff out.

http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/26771306643312378 Up to 1-3. Optimization is the main time saver so far, but also a new trick was discovered in 1-2 that allowed me to skip a fight trigger by using a jump glitch to go over it. Think I'm about 17 seconds ahead so far.

That's overly complicated. With your logic there's like 2 Star tiers. The purpose of Vault tier is to accept movies that are still TASes, but not entertaining enough to be Moon tier. Which is how you keep out boring Vault 'entertainment' TASes.
