Just consider the amount of time and heart it took me to finish the published run, expecting at least some nice feedback... but no. And the comment I did... it was literal. I legitimately wanted to see what actual kids, fans of Club Penguin, that remember the PSA missions reacted like. Not actual grown up adults making fun of my 15 month TAS. I was pissed, so that comment was indeed misinterpretaded.
But FluffyMoth and grassini are right, I shouldn't complain this much... so my apologies to Tangent, derula and Samsa. my english is fucking terrible D;
H-hello guys... I was trying some routes if whatever I find new glitches for a v2 run, until... I found one. A BIG one... I feel like a fucking dumbass.
Basically it's a massive route improvement in Mission 9. I overlooked this and I want to apologize.
Remember that long search for Herbert's balloon in the Island before going to the Wilderness? I can skip all that crap. How? Well... by just going to the Wilderness right away... I don't know why this works, but it does. Potentially saves 30 seconds, not kidding, so sub 28 is now possible.
Um... new submission hype..? yay... T_T
I don't mind the category as long as it's distinguishable, entertaining and optimal. From what I read, there's some unoptimized portions in it, and since this is Super Metroid we're talking about, it's questionable.
(the category confuses me so much pls hlp me...)
Lemme help a little bit, the game runs well on hhugboy, so here's all the ROM info I could find:

Hope it helps...
Note that this is the first truly 3D TASing I've encountered.
What about Glover?
Anyways, I'm glad that you're TASing something that isn't a crappy game on an obscure platform or some weird accessory. Hoping to see more!
So I have a question... I've made a verification movie already, but is a Training Missions TAS or a Main Campaign TAS publishable here? I was planning to make one.
Don't count yourself out just yet - your run is being judged by Mothrayas and while he's asked you do do a few things (which you've already made progress on) I think you'll find that he is a fair judge. I say this in the context that I've had a couple of runs judged by Mothrayas and some of them have even been rejected but he's always been a fair judge. I would say more than anything that this submission suffered from a series of miscommunications at the beginning but let some cooler heads prevail.
I have not yet completed watching the run but I'll try to provide feedback once I find time to do that. Keep your chin up, and know that we aren't a *bad* community, just... different. :)
Some people here are though... not all of us, just some from my experience. (and admins know who I'm talking about...)
I don't know if this is a bug or not but... the CP TAS has been published for 3 days now (tnx so much BTW), and it seems it hasn't been registered in my player stats How was it called again..?
Once you submit it, one of the encoders can use their linux machine that'll fix audio syncing
I didn't plan on submitting though :/ there's a cutscene skip near the beginning of the run that I didn't use that saves a lot of time (1-2 minutes I think). It wasn't discovered until later on, when I was way past that point.
EDIT: I made the video unlisted just because there are so many issues with it and it doesn't look good at all.
You can try submitting. You never know what could happen.
EDIT 2: I'd like to know what speed-entertainment tradeoffs the run actually has. The submission goals mention speed-entertainment tradeoffs but I didn't see any other mention of specific tradeoffs in the submission text.
The run sacrifices frames when moving the cursor, moving it all over the place with the touch screen actually lags the game, and this happens also when the cursor changes sprites.
