The goal is to beat the game as fast as possible yes, but, in games like resident evil you also need to take in consideration the fact that there is different endings, now, im not saying you had to forcably saving them
For guns i was thinking the magnum, but i recall now its just for chris lol, btw, why you didnt played chris ?!? he SOOOOO much more awesome (geek jk)
My main reason to choose chris would have be the difficulty is sayd "harder" with him
Edit: but of course Jill also deserve a movie
Does it take realy "that" long to save chris/barry ?
And your sure you dont have any "good" gun on your way to tyran ? you dont even use your handgun.... i would have tought it save at least a few knife hits
Are you realy sure you can 180 turn around ? ... from what i remember this appear in re3 psx for the first time (hopefully im wrong and they implemented this for ds too... i realy didnt payed attention if there was quick turn in the movie)
There was a few passages i felt like the movements was not perfect, but tbh, without testing its impossible to realy tell, on re3 i had some ackward outcome like running in a wall was going faster than anything else, so well i will not give bad points for something i cant be sure
The big trouble i have with this is : knife only and bad ending ...
Why just knife ? surely it goes slower that way... so its not good... try re3 with nicolai if you realy want to knife some ;)
Bad ending ... its too cheap to me... i mean to me its obvious you need to play on hard diffuculty and reach all possible "goals" to unsure making a good movie, time wise im not even sure anybody would have argue since theres not much difference by saving chris/barry
Im not sure what to vote yet so ill abstain for now and choose later, hopefully there will be some comments from Fladdermus that can weight in the balance

IIRC, those accounted for a third(?) of the length of the PSX RE3 run.
Thats correct, and i also agree this is a good game choice for the same reason, maybe no movie is not fun, but no door cutscene is obviously more important :p
Somebody even tryed to cancel its animation ? to me the sword is faster simply because you can glitch the animation and cancel it rapidly (soooo fast you can even cancel before hitting your foe)
Theres one reason i could see to beat richter, if he give tonnes of exp it might be a good deal, remember even a high output or high stat weapon will do shit if your too low (see final sword failure)
So what can happen is the TASer takes a big hit to his ego and may give up, and others mayn't even try because they fear likewise denial.

Exactly. Nico hit the nail on the head here. I'm not sure if has, but it feels like it's gotten to the point where a lot of TASers who make precise, entertaining, and skillful runs aren't even submitting here.
lmao so you do what of your movies? you starve at em ? youtube or whatever... who cares... when i want to watch TAS'es i go to tasvideos.org, i dont go to youtube and all alike, even tought if im redirected by tasvideos.org to those site, who cares, man thats statement was bs and everyone know TAS'ers do post here... now you can call me and all others here bad TAS'er if that make you feel better... i guess
As for baxter post, wow, that was long couldnt make it to the end, but anyway, i think its based on those biased comments around so its not like very important i assume
Movie was ok, ill trow yes, it was fun, i wouldnt take on a hour long of it, would be boring imo, the ending pretty bad too :p (just to be picky on something lol)
doesnt the VK is weaker than holy claymore or the final sword ?
What would be great is if you find a new glitch so we can drain dracula HP faster, or get the greatest five spell, or whatever that is realy fast
So if i understand well, you could beat brawner without meeting richter? to me it seem if its not required, then skip it (like you probably already do for some other stuffs)
Something pretty amazing been found on that game recently
If you watch this :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUZgYB4If0E
At some point near end, says "Richter Special Mode", then shows few awesome passage where richter get trough floors litteraly
For years nobody knew how to "activate" this stuff, had a savestate but who knows how to trigger the memory bug... well now it seem to be uncover
While in alucard game, turn into a mist or bat (and dont turn it off) then soft reset (L1/L2/R1/R2/Select/Start) and load a richter save, should be able to perform the tricks in the video, tought, i dont know yet if it work on usa release, was just tested on jap original release
This may (or not...) enable nasty strategys for alucard or richter speedrun, and would require to have dirty sram in order to achieve it
Its not easy to define goals for a "longer" movie, to me the most obvious choice would be good ending (require ~195% map), and surely would abuse glitches... a lot
One of the thing very boring is the inability to skip dialogues unless you are in the "second" quest (like choosing richter)
The duplicator item require dirty sram too (let you do nasty things with heart refresh... mainly for % gathering)
Would be quite a fun movie anyway, with or without duplicator, as you can still abuse the map quite a bunch just with some silly tricks :p
For reference the max map without using heart refresh is ~300%
With heart refresh theres no real "max", you can cover whole map with white
The game total of "blue" rooms is 200.6% - 1890 rooms
Not me then, it was no brainer to put speed metal imo, goes much better than creepy techno posted above
Im not sure what prevent people to do theyr own montage, then adelikat is free to upload some if he like em on the official channel eventually
By the way, it seems like the video on Dailymotion pauses after the boss is beaten (thanks to adelikat for the upload there!).
This is an issue from begin, my first message does mention it :p , it seem to be only on pcejin, i have no idea whats going on or whats the problem about it tought, the movie does NOT contain a start press after the fight, it just suddenly pause for no reasons, this is probably minor issue alltought
Ah, so you want me to say that the release of pcejin is the same day than this movie ? (or maybe 1/2 days decal)
You can check, im not saying bs
I dont need to take anything away, i realy think this game have nothing superb to offert and is quite average, i still think that why people voted no, because they didnt like the game much, i still think on technical side its good (the movie...) and no human would do such a performance
If you accept a game such as donkey kong on nes, this one is fine too i guess
As for you been busy, yeah i cant help with that, you didnt used that argument at first tought
Sorry bossman, your saying you couldnt see that movie because you dont have internet since a week, this sat in the bench since more than 50 days now
Also, personnally like i sayd i dont think its shit, but its a 8bit game you know, you wont be amazed by its graphics or sound.... they are rather "poor" since its pretty old game... so its not surprising me people think its bad, thats all (obviously 20 years old game are not amazing nowaday)
Edit: the movie is not borderline, i was meaning the game actually
Let me laught, your wrong and you cant admit it, so rather put it on me yeah... good spirit
I did submit that one because you asshole didnt recorded a single frame for 3 months, still waiting for you super skills but nothing came out, and dont worry, ill do my own movie to obsolete this one, or shall i cancel it actually ? (thats fine to me)
Personally, i think this is the perfect choice to go *against* people choice, the tas is good, technically, the game is a bit suxy, thats true, but theres TONNES of worst NES games here on tasvideos.org, so first of all the shityness of the game shall not been taken into consideration, and again, to me it looked like good tas, definitly not doable by human at least
The Final Sword is epic fail !
So theres a nice lua script made by gocha, working great, beat the Final Guard ~3:30, beat death in ~2:00 (28dmg per hit) then.... True Dracula got more defense... he take only 11dmg ... over 600hits needed, i tested a bit and its over 5min to beat him at this rate without even counting wings attack
I was level6, i killed everything that was on my way, the nearest boss would be the magical pot near the suspend glitch, i have a huge feeling it will not do any good tought
Ah, and also, droping the sword waste about 150 frames, so its realy fast to manipulate it and doesnt make loose much time on the run itself
GAME OVER
The ammount of money you gonna generate will be so ridiculous nobody will care to catch you up, and if they do, its to get so little... surely cost more on lawyers than the real money from ads
I never saw OoT tas before, alltought, i understood direcly the bomb give a gaps under link boosting him higher than "normal", doesnt even matter where this happen (for one i didnt knew it was dodongo...), if you have just a little imagination you can understand its a major breaktrought for places requiring to climp ect...
Even with no knowledge on the glitch you can get it, its not like theres something complicated, it just raise height, do you need to fully know a game to understand such a basic concept... ?
This part did realy entertain me, because, i never saw it before, precisly!
^ this is right
I can only mention that in this run, up to the fleaman... so for the whole normal castle... any extra kill ruin it totaly... ANY
for instance, start-boss1 = lvl2 , boss1-library = lvl3 , library-clock tower = lvl4
If you raise any of this, you void run
For boss1 you need to be lvl2, because thats the only way to get invulnerability with Summon Spirit spell
Book in library give 13 damage (under poison) so the max HP is 26 (lvl2)
Flying skull in clock tower give 14 damage, so the max HP is 28 (lvl3)
(those damage are at 0 DEF, 10 CON = 1DEF, just saying for reference)
Whe get lvl4 in clock tower, mainly because whe need the sword (to fly with wolf later) and to adjust ourself so next kill = level up when whe face flea rider
Killing any boss also void the run, youll notice life max up does spawn after we kill em, but, whe dont get any level up from them
Actually, after masamune, everything get much more clean, have good stack of exp from medusa, so i can kill anybody on the way, and no more (geek) restrictions on hp
Ah, i will mention here also that getting a potion in the prologue sound bad, it need you to get pwned by dracula and make maria summon manimals (loose many time)
I'm surprised that the Alucard Shield isn't faster than...
Compared to alucard shield, casting 3 times medusa is in fact slower, yes, im hoping pirate will come with 2 cast, wich should then be equal
edit: still no word from pirate on that matter...
When you cast spell the game is frozen, you cant input until the spell animation is complete, the only spell that can be canceled is the dark shield, if you have wolf/mist and playing jap version, all the rest cant be canceled at all
The movie end at the input starting the third spell (given pirate say it can be done in 2 spell, maybe the movie will be updated if it happen to be true)
The "rate of fire" of 5 lasers probably void any sword swing, i think
I trow an axe at the begin but yeah, its useless, he got 10'000 HP btw, and whe deal 13 damage
Every single gaming magazine in the world asks permission from every single game company and distributor? I don't think so.
It falls under fair use (and for a good reason too).
I honnestly think, back in the days where magazines was ruling the info on gaming, they did ask permission yes, rather i would say, to get the screenshoot... you need to ask them coz you probably cant produce it yourself
Same for preview (instead reviews), there wasnt internet back then, or not like whe know it nowaday, without asking the company, it was probably near impossible to get something to display in the magazine
I dont claim they always asked for everything, thats pretty obviously not the case, most reviews you just get the cartdrige by buying it... but preview and such, without internet, mean a direct communication between magazine and the game editor
Getting the game before it hit the store surely mean they asked for it
