I voted yes.
The game is played blisteringly fast
The puzzles are solved in surprising ways totally different from those intended
Many of the solutions are possible only due to the high speed used here
The author spends downtime well, providing entertainment with the cursor
The game is fun to play, and this TAS is fun to watch
Isn't this exactly what we look for in a TAS?
I am a bit dismayed at all the no votes here. Most are from people who have not played the game, and I understand if the action here is too quick for them to see all the glitching, breakage and smart solutions going on here. But the primary audience of a TAS is people who have played the game, and not publishing this TAS will be a disservice to them, as they will be stuck wondering what an optimized completion of this game looks like. And remember, the question is "Should this movie be published?", not "Should this movie be starred?".
Ps. A better encode would be nice, though: By the end of the current one, the A/V desync was 7.5 seconds or so, which is very irritating. Perhaps a simple timecode rescaling using mkvmerge will work?

Damn Shinryuu! You are one messed up fella. LSD and mushrooms will do that... It'll mess you up bad so will big black c*cks.
I, sadly, have no Halloween pics, for the occasion. Maybe next year, kids.

This run is "grandiosso?!" Hope to see it published. I find the in time more important, in this game. I always try and break my record. When i do, i don't check how many frames i have...
Edit: Oh! so it is accepted. Well then congratulations Saturn!

I must say, this hack looks very cool. Probably the only one i liked, so far. I just watched the tube but it seems very well done. Nice work Hoandjzj!! Yes vote!

Watched the first CD and i love it, so far. I'm pretty sure it will get even better so i will put my yes. The Diablo fight was a big surprise for me. I always had so much trouble beating that mofo. The door glitch skipping the Renoa scene was also unexpected. If i remember you usually need to go talk to her first right? Anyways... I am pretty confident that this will get accepted. The game is epic! How long did it take to do this run?
Good job, so far. I'll watch the rest later.

1. I checked in that room to the right and there is no bomb. There is only the last water-tank and it is a useless waste of time to go there. One improvable is the last 3 rings, on the boss. I'm pretty sure i can blow them up, sooner.
2. I checked for that lag... I'm pretty sure you mean around frame 55200. I did not see any lag, at all. Maybe you mean, at some other point. There is when i start this level... A bunch of fish charge right at me. It creates lag but i tried to reduce it as much as possible, by killing some. The thing is, when i blow up anything, i need to wait for it to have stopped exploding before being able to shoot again. That is why i just crashed into them.
There is a couple of things, that i would like to improve. Either point, entertainment or time wise. Thank you very much for all the ideas and for contributing in the progress of the run, btw :)

I remember this game being so long. At first i thought it would be hellish to watch but it turned out to be pleasant enough. I love how you play with the glove. It's crazy, how big this thing is, next to Bugs. Anyways, i found this was very well planned so yes vote. Nice going, on your first run, Brandon.
I have the same problem here. What i do is take background #3 off. It does not solve the problem but let's just say it helps.

Heye man, nice to see progress going on, but I got a question...
Based on the last encode by Brandom, at 9:50 you grab a huge ruby, it makes your lifebar orange, as well IF I'm right it increase your firepower as well, because you need 2 shots to kill normal enemys and after you grab da ruby you just kill in one shot, so MAYBE the damage increase can be used on the boss as well, even being around 8 shots if I remember well but it can already save some time right?
Also at 8:03-8:05 you make a jump but hits the wall a bit, maybe you can jump on the last enemy plataform without touching the enemy to make a jump? if its possible of course.
It seems to go orange but i do not see this on the emulator. It's really weird but i checked it out anyways. Even without taking the ruby, those three guys die with one shot. Although being exactly like the others, these have lower HP. Take for example, the two guys in front of the mini-boss sentinel. They have much more HP then all the rest.
Edit: I checked on another screen and it does turn orange. So all that is left to see is if i can reach the sentinel while orange. Thanks for the heads up.
Edit 2: Just checked and i can't. Even if i grab it at the last second.
For the part around 8:05, i knew the question would pop up. I checked and double checked for a better way. Don't think i haven't noticed. It really is horrible, to put something like this in a game.

Meh.. I liked playing this, as a child and I think it should be published for the sake of having it in archive but i would not watch this back to back, to see the other ending.

Wow a lot better now, stages are fast paced, nice web trick to get a speed boost, also on spidey 2nd stage the wind was well used, not touching any column, I'M Just not sure about the first boss battle, the range was a bit mid-like, you can shot 4 shot if I'm right, but to shot others the shot must hit or go off screen, so maybe getting face to face to the boss might help?
Thats a very good idea you got but sadly, by the time i get to his face, he does two things that refrain me from doing so. First he shoots fireballs then he swings towards me. So what i did his, got close enough to then used the "Backward Webshot" wich is simply shooting one frame, at the opposite direction i am holding, while in mid-air. When doing this while on a ledge, i can perform the BW without jumping so this helped me a-lot in not missing a chance to shoot.

I had started a run of this a while ago and stopped because i could not find anything to make Cyclops and Storm levels go faster or be more entertaining.
Take a look if you want

By the way, i would love to see something good come out of this game. I love it!
