I have to agree with others here. There are too many times where enemies are killed that don't need to be. You can't save time by zipping through the spikes if it kills enemies that wouldn't be killed if you did it more slowly. I love pacifist runs, so I really hope you try again. If you do, 2-2B would be perfect to synchronize your moves to the music!

More rerecords aren't enough. We need a lot of detail and fastest possible in games time to complete.
I agree with the detail part of that comment, but not necessarily with the speed. In a game like bowling, fastest possible is not always best. For something like this, try to find the craziest and weirdest ways of getting all strikes. Is it possible to bounce the ball off the gutter and still get a strike? How about bouncing it off both gutters? How long can you have the last pin wobble before it goes down for a strike? Can you throw the ball into another lane and still get a strike? Can you bounce the ball down the lane and still get a strike? Getting the game to do things it wasn't meant to can make for a much more entertaining TAS than just speed.

I went into this expecting to vote Meh, as I'm not a big fan of brawler TASses, but I was pleasantly surprised. It was short enough that it didn't get repetitive, and was entertaining enough for me to want to watch it 'till the end. Yes vote.

Although the sound is horrible, the run is short enough that I wasn't too bothered by it. I enjoyed the boss fights, especially #4 which was over as soon as it began. I'm still not quite sure how you pulled that one off. Those fights, and the exploitation of glitches make this a yes vote for me.

I see no reason for not voting yes. It's short enough that the poor gameplay doesn't drag on too long, and the glitch is interesting enough.

Spent the first half of the run thinking, "What the heck? Collecting cuccos?!? Now spends time getting a bug? Wait, now you let the bug go just to get it again! How in the world could this be optimal???" Then, the fun begins! Awesome run, yes vote for sure!

But HERE there is no excuse. There is nowhere near enough text to warrant such a catastrophic hit to entertainment value. The story is already difficult enough to understand with this glitch, but you are going to give us another insurmountable hurdle by making the text UTTERLY UNINTELLIGIBLE?
That's quite a western-centric opinion. There are many here for whom an English version is "unintelligible", and a fair number who have no trouble reading the Japanese.

Although the dual screens were annoy to watch and follow, I can't fault the TAS itself for anything. Very well done.

It'd be really cool if Samus showed up at that boss fight!

Nicely done. A yes vote, not only for this TAS, but for MP TASses in general!

Seems more like Suicide Spyman. Yes vote for all the right reasons.

Unfortunately, fighting games are not good candidates for speed running, and this is no exception. I think you did a good job, but it's just not a good game choice. Voting 'no'.

It looks like a lot of work was put into this. Unfortunately, it's just too repetitive. If it were less than ten minutes, I might vote yes, but over 20 minutes of the same thing over and over again got very tedious. I won't vote no, as I do like all games to be represented if possible, but I can't vote yes either. Therefore, meh...

Because it's frame specific, it's something that can't be done without tool assistance, so I think it applies. It's entertaining and short too, so a yes vote from me.

I really appreciated that you tried to vary the moves outside the ring, but unfortunately they weren't interesting enough to keep it enjoyable for me. I found myself eagerly looking forward to the end of the TAS cause I knew each new round consisted of the same thing: Throws opponent / is thrown out of the ring, beats up / is beaten up outside of the ring, hops in the ring at the 22 second mark of the match. Technically I think it's sound and you did a good job, so I can't vote no, but entertainment-wise, it's just too repetitive, so I can't vote yes. Thus, I split the difference and voted 'meh'.

Definite yes vote. I think the 8-2 improvement really shows off the potential for the 'minimum presses' category.

I think there should be a category for bot movies, kinda like there's one for playarounds. It's neat to see how much a bot can actually do. Yes vote!

Well, I really enjoyed that. Too bad I missed out on all the controversy. But at least I can do some word-bolding for fun! WHEEEEEEEE!

Unless you want me to wait 5 seconds for it to move away, yes. Taking damage from the monkey before that instead of waiting would not have gotten me there fast enough to get through either.
I see now, I thought you could jump over the snake, but that black thing is actually in the foreground, and you have to duck under it. Yes vote!

Even though link goes through the trouble of obtaining all eight instruments, the flying whale still leaves our poor hero in the middle of the ocean, where he soon dies from lack of food and fresh water. Stupid evil orca... (and that's another yes vote, btw...)
