By the way, I contest the idea that NES is tapped dry. There are a bunch of games that have not been done and there is the possibility for 100%/low-glitch type runs for a whole bunch more.
Point me to where he warped. Warping does not automatically mean it's tas exclusive. He pressed 90-95% right during the whole movie. There is nothing impressive in that. As a viewer, I did not feel a bit the author faced troublesome challenges to use superhuman skills to overcome them. The game also looks awful and the run was unfortunately not entertaining at all. I am doing my best to be objective as possible but I truly do not understand how 5 people have given this run yes vote.
Also, when you say "takes no damage", do you mean it would have been faster to take damage but you decided not to?
Fast encode is processing.
I'm workin on POWER BLAZER! *shameless post to garner input for my wips*
There's a song on the game's music ! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QFtYRKy8T8 Another GCCX featured game gets killed, can't wait to watch an encode!
Good job cancelling your old submission. If you have any further improvements you'd like to submit, please post the movie file in this thread instead of making a new submission; the movie file can be updated without having to resubmit.
Will encode this.
On another note, for a while I've been thinking that votes should be separated into votes of people that have played the game before versus people that haven't. I've seen videos on the site that are voted low, but I still have gotten a lot of enjoyment out of them since I'm familiar with the game. Also, It'd be nice to know what videos are entertaining to watch even if you haven't played the game. There are some high scoring videos on the site that I just don't enjoy because I'm not familiar enough with the game, but some are really great regardless.
1. Ratings could factor in the mean values of each voter's personal rating history and the amount of movies watched (you can see these bits of statistics right now in our forum profiles under the "How this user rates movies"). User A who watches and rates a lot of movies and assigns to them the full spectrum of votes from 0 to 10 is expected to have a better idea of a movie's merits than user B who only votes on a few selected movies and tends towards giving out 10/10 indiscriminately. This doesn't mean that user B's 10/10 vote will drag the rating down as if it were, say, 5/5, but it does mean this vote will be more easily offset by a lower vote when calculating the average. This measure alone will rather efficiently deal with lurkers registered to namevote a handful of familiar games or TASers, as well as diminish other kinds of abuse, since one would have to involve themself with the community and acquire themself with different kinds of movies in order to give more substance to their votes. 2. Authors' votes for their own movies, at least on the entertainment side, should have considerably lower weight due to the heavy bias involved. This bias is normal and expected; usually players have a lot of fun working on a TAS, which translates into the vote if they decide to cast it, but this entertainment is largely based on the process of TASing and not purely the result as would be expected from the rest of the viewers. 3. Instead of assigning the highest weight to staff members by default, it would seem fairer to do that to highly experienced players, as defined by player points (perhaps 1000 and above?). People with expertise in backend coding or publishing can't be expected to have the same, let alone higher, expertise in TASes as players actively making them. Besides, most of the high-rank players are judges anyway.
Sadly, I think the NES library is pretty tapped out of good titles worthy of publication.
Just to let you know, both the high score run and the physical challenge run desync for me. I'm using FCEUX 2.1.6 svn0 and I tried both Old PPU and New PPU.
I'm voting Yes, but I imagine a lot of that vote is nostalgia.
Started a 2-player run. Saved 39 frames at the 2nd level start. Nothing special to look at though, just fighting lag and doing optimisation. As for the pause trick, I hope you can pause before every boss move to make him make a different one, unpausing at different frames. This promises the bosses making the same (fastest) move all the way :D I don't feel like redoing my run, but you can take all my levels and just edit bosses, adding me as a co-author. Just fix the flaws I mentioned. And yes, make a smaller jump to finish the ball room faster. Try different options. Be sure to use taseditor branches.
First, there are NO boss patterns in ROM. All their moves are tied to timer (0x2D) and selected during the fight. The timer keeps ticking during Pause, so we may try to affect the bosses not (only) by changing the frame of entrance, but by pausing too. Second, the game contains more lost balls and stones, but all of them aren't accessible in 1-payer run. And only 1 (besides the ball in boss 1) can be picked with 2 players. Black circles mark balls, red ones mark stones. Thanks to Lomax for all this info!
