Strider Rank is largly based on score. To get a high one you need to collect a buch of items. I should have said the game encorages you rather then reward. The powerup I get at the start makes your attacks deal more damage and have a longer range but goes away if you get hit. Notice how I stop having a purple aura when I get hit. The game also encorages you to die. When you die it resawns you in basicly the same place unless your in mid air. If you are in mid air at the top of a large fall it will respawn you on the ground posably saveing a buch of time ( I have a place in mind ). Also respawning gives you a boost powerup, witch temporaly increases damage, causes you to shoot homeing projectiles, and causes lag.

I decided to give this a try This is my first time TASing so I did a test of stage one to get the feel of the game. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t35uk8v_2B8 The one big obvious mistake is not jumping on the moving platform so it would move me during the cutscene but there are a few frames I could save in other places. You only need to play three stages to beat the game. 1, 2, or 3 and then 4 and 5. So right now I am just testing witch of the first three is quickest.

Anyone thinking about doing a strider 2 run? It seems ideal for speed running. Many forms of movement, very short even if played normally, rewards both for not being hit and for dieing, and graphics that have aged well. I may give it a shot eventually.

I have always had an unreasonable hate for prerendered 3d graphics but got a kick out of the 2.5d levels. I liked the unusual death shotcuts.

I can't think of any TLAs that are only ever pronounced as a word. I have heard people pronounce FAQ as a word and it just sounds wrong. In any case I think it's a matter of game choice. I would do one but all the games I played in my childhood are ether done better then I ever could ( A boy and his blob ) or not appropriate for Tasing ( NES Wheel of Fortune ). However if there was a NGPC emu with recording I would start tasing card fighters right now.

Holy crap Crashman and Woodman stages where insane The game just became an orgy of zipping and death The old rockman 2 run was one of my favorites but that was crazy 9.9/10

Boring game but very nicely done. It's a shame it doesn't have co-op.
