Coin is the natural resources in it.

That is my post about. Using coins is NORMAL for Arcade, but TAS must be ABOVE normal ("with some exceptions").

I see using only INTITAL COINS NEEDED TO START THE GAME as a sort of hard difficulty for Arcade, because in real life it is more probable that the player have some additional money, but nut using it he seems to handle more skilly, which is harder. So, using coins is a NORMAL gameplay for Arcade. But while Superplay is summoned to be ABOVE normal, the continue using shall be a result of discussion in unobvious cases (though I don't know what one would be obvious here). Also, if continues look namely more WTF than avoiding them (requires skill for making unique entertainment), if they are funny played up, they must be allowed. Then, the comunity needs to see WIPs before submitting. If we see a no-death Metal Slug by X2poet, we could compare easily. The things obvious for one may become obvious for all. And if "all" prefer no-death actually, then the decision was found!

I haven't watched this movie yet, but I think I can contribute to the resolution of this dispute. I'll quote some comments from #3025: x2poet's Arcade Metal Slug in 12:23.17 as well as those on this thread.

You mentioned the same thread twice. Also, we meant that coins are VIRTUALLY unlimited (as they ARE virtual for we use emulators)

RingRush as i can undertand your idea, the developers have made a protection against ACTUAL USING this code (just like common protection against whatever, avoided by TASers, i.e. breaking the collision detection & entering walls), but didn't put one on entering the room as a ball (like they didn't expect that from the real-time player). Then it would be "entering a code + abusing programming errors".

As it was said, a TASer is a super-human, so he obviously has unlimited money :D

For my connection isn't as stable as I wish, I sometimes need the filesize to be less, but keep it still lossless, of course. I need some additions to the main encoding command for x264, taking into account YouTube's reencoding peculiarity.

moozooh wrote:

feos: you won't be able to shrink it much further, but try including --subme 9 (or 10), --me umh --merange 32. also, --ref 6 or more should help.

My current command looks like that:

x264 --qp 0 -b 0 --threads 2 --keyint 60 --fullrange on

I think, if X2poet resubmit a syncable run, & if we work out finally, shall he use Countinues or not (is there a poll?), it would be acceptable.

Umm...You know, there is a difference between a game over screen and a continue screen. If it was truly a game over, then the run would be at the first stage.

In NES TMNT 3 we see "Game Over" multiple times, but then 1 life gets borrowed from another player. Also in Arcade TMNT DarkKobold USES coins to get lives, which at the begining numbered 0 for all turtles. So lifes ARE actually infinite in this run.
