hey, i just saw this post, and since i had tas prehistorik man i was wondering witch game will be the next one ! i used to play z too and i think it's a tasable game, but it will be hard to obtimise time ( really not intelligent robots, logn way to go.. ) i'll serach for trategy tasing games, but i'm pretty sure i'll need your help and experience to try this. other point do you think it will be watchable? this kind of strategy game are not reaaly impressive.. and sorry for the english as well..

hi ! as you may know i just finish to tas prehistorik man and i'm thinking about tasing an other game on snes. something quick (10-15 mins), but more impressive or funny, using glitches/bugs.. i briefly search in this forum for 'how to' and i've find this http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/CommonTricks.html but my question is how to find glitches? example, my game never been tas before, internet speak about it a little but there is no well known glitches, maby one but not interesting, some others may exist, and i want to find them.. is there soft for that? guides? do i need to have a good level in programation? ( i know how to make little prog on my scientific calc. >< ), ram search / lua scripting is needed? or maybe someone used to find them will help me? i haven't made my game choice yet..

In Crystal Caverns 2, is not faster to abuse death after pushing the first ice block down the shaft? Also was it not faster to ride a bat up the short shaft on the way to the last ice block? And abuse death after that, too? Overall, looks great! Excellent effort!
1 i'm not shue i'll check 2 it seems not to be possible, i tryed but i was stuck... to resume i loose time on crytals cavern 1 with the bat waiting, and maybe on crystals caverns 2 taking damage and not killing the two dragons after the 1st ice bloc?

i think if i have to re-made a level it's this one yes. i'll let the run like this for now and calculate how many frames i loose. i'm pretty shure this run is not 'the best' but for a fisrt try i'm proud of myself :D in a other hand if i loose too much frames with this f****g crystal cavern, i'll remade them. i just hope the cpoy/paste will work wthout desync ( i have fix point speaking to the old man ) .. for tooday, i'm victorious and i let it like that. what do you think about the run in general? [ edit ] have you succed in speedrunnig it under 40'?

i agree but my main proble here was the time needed to kill the guy on the way, and if i do like that i cant get the heart, i'm with 0 health and i die by tanking damage from the mob on the way, or on the spikes at the end. i think my way is the shortest with 3 hearts, can take the 4 one in stage 6 but i dont know about the time loose whant i take the damage on the way... it's about 50 frames between the two cases.. i made one mistake in crytal cavern 2 tanking one heart not really needed but i thought i need 2 heart for a big jump, i finish with one heart, but i'll need them in stage 21, so for me it worth it ! i'll continue like this, i'm used tu tasmovieeditor, so if a stage is reaaly not good i have the posibility to remade-copy/paste it. working on stage 20..
