Please elaborate on why this TAS uses certain glitches but does not use certain other glitches?
As in no game end glitches or x-ray scope glitches. Giving this a Meh. The new movement was neat, but Ridley and MB are extremely boring.

Having to get all the keys would mean more of this amazing game gets shown off and it also of course better fits the defined 100% specification in the Op too (all dances, all collectables, and all items).
Ah, sorry for the confusion. 100% is all dances, all collectables, and all SHOP items. It's the same general definition used for http://www.speedrun.com/Shantae_and_the_Pirates_Curse#100.

Link to video This has been done for a while, but the clip I need to do to break Shocker is taking forever. So, hey, here you go. In case you're wondering why they keep spawning in clumps like that, going up the building with enough speed sometimes makes them do that. My guess is the game can't properly keep track of Gob's location, and thus can't decide where to spawn them, so it just spawns them right next to him.

Aside from that, it would help to have a greater diversity:
  • 5 out of 15 recommendations are Mario games, whereas no other franchise has more than one game.
  • 11 out of 15 recommendations are of the platform or Metroidvania genres. Genres like beat-em-up or RTS are absent entirely.
  • 8 out of 15 recommendations are NES and SNES. I can understand not having any A2600 or VirtualBoy games here, but the list should arguably include e.g. Arcade, DOS, Playstation, and Wii.
Agree on all points.

this is excellent great amazing improvement,tas of the year for sure!!!_! Meh vote.
seconded. Like most of the Mega Man X submissions that Hetfield and co. have been making, this is very technically impressive, and I can appreciate the effort put into them. But at the same time, I'm sick of seeing Mega Man. It's boring to me now. This gets a Meh from me.

Curious; based on advancements to RTA strategies, is there a TAS run category that would / could still use them?
How do you mean?

Ok, so....actual comment time. This category doesn't really make sense. I would assume it's like 100%, except it's with battle animations. It would be like doing a Kingdom Hearts run, but only staying in one area and grinding until you can show every possible battle animation. Once you do that, you stop playing and just end the TAS. Sounds pretty dumb, huh? Giving this a No. Not only is this not a legitimate category, Battle Chess is also a really boring game. If you do another Chess TAS, stick to any% and do it on a game that doesn't put me to sleep.

Won't it result in a Pulseman game situation, where fastest speed is barely watchable, and there is a run that avoids that movement glitch and is way more enjoyable?
You're implying that this throw glitch is not entertaining. Besides, this game is about the bosses, not the levels.

Well a 0x A button for the second Bowser needs to be found first before anyone did a serious TAS of it.

Might be, since my Wii is pretty old, but I was still able to save time INSIDE THE LEVEL.
This is on an emulator? As for the timesave, the best course of action for comparisons sakes is to upload the dtm or do like a side-by-side vid.

Do we really need a max coins TAS? As a youtube video, it sounds fine. But as a TAS that would go on for 3 hours, it sounds boring and horrible.

Dude, nobody's going to email you for some videos you may or may not have on your spambot-lookin' email. Either post those videos or buzz off.

Hello raxmo! Glad to have you on the site. Just as a quick reminder, LOTADs are perfectly fine to make in the corresponding topics for said games that receive one, but please don't submit any runs unless they are optimized (but I'm sure you're aware of this). Cheerio.

Hourglass isn't capable of playing most games with any degree of capability. It was initially built to just TAS Cave Story, so any other games it can run are just a bonus.

If it makes the run sufficiently more entertaining then it should also be fine.

If New Game + has enough differences to warrant a separate category in normal speedruns then it's fine to do that.
