Great job with this. At first, I was sort of iffy about using a mode that makes the vacuum inflict damage faster, but it really allows you to make more ghost captures without the ghosts flying out of the room. That, and the combos you pulled off (especially that one five-combo or something like that) were quite impressive. I feel like if you're already getting most of the Boos, it wouldn't be that much out of your way to have a 100% run instead of any%. This is great in the meantime, though.

Is there any way to get an encode for this movie? I tried running this in Bizhawk, but somehow the program crashed on me trying to deal with the SNES core. (Also, my computer thought that Bizhawk was malware...) Thanks!

I must have misremembered your previous strategy for level 2 (I didn't rewatch the movie). Glad to see that other posts have led to improvements though.

Nice run. I don't recall the previous run all that clearly, but this will still impressive, and it's always great to have a multi-minute improvement to a long game. I'm surprised it saved time to have as many double battles as you did.

Right. I saw you couldn't shoot through the green layer. It looked as though you only went through one layer of green before you turned left and then went up through the second layer. Why not drive up through both layers right away?

Wow, great job! The run looks quite smooth, especially in some of the longer horizontal stages like 2-2. The new damage boosts in the big fire level (3-2, I think) were also especially noticeable. How does that Heli fight work in the first place? I've always been confused by seeing some little helicopters survive, but then the fight ends anyway. Lastly, I really appreciate your first paragraph in the movie description about going after an improvement even with little TASing experience. I'm still somebody who hasn't gotten their feet wet with TAS tools, and among other things, I've been wary of anti-newcomer bias (implicit or otherwise). It's really refreshing to see you honestly mention your relative lack of experience and still put out a very polished product. Great job!

I've never heard of this system before, but I actually found this game fairly amusing for a short run. It helped that things got more complicated after the first level. Strategy question: in Level 2, can you save any time by shooting up at some of the white targets before heading left? It seems like you waste a little bit of time to face upwards to fire at them in your current route. At the start of the route, however, you're already facing upwards, so you wouldn't waste any frames to turn and shoot them.

This sounds like a good improvement. Before I watch this, though, I'm a little confused by the submission text. It seems like it's mostly a copy of the previous run's text, though there are other odd edits (like copying FractalFusion's description of how to manipulate luck). Could you make it a little more clear what the actual changes are between this submission and the previous run?

Nice run. It's pretty funny to see how you make two guys commit suicide in the first phase, and then the second phase feels like an early version of Doom. However, I'm curious about two things. 1) Is this game publishable with just one mission completed? If there's a different ending obtained by completing all the missions, then that may disqualify a single-mission run. 2) What does the part mean at the end about "Disaster!!"? Does that mean the game isn't actually done?

Nice to see an improvement to this on the workbench. I did not expect Neofix's run was as solid as you say it is; that probably says more about the general crappiness of the game and its ability to produce lag. Then again, it is more similar to other Strider games than that exception for the NES. Unfortunately, I can't actually watch this in the emulator right now; I don't know how this happened, but somehow my Genesis and Megadrive core is messed up. Other systems seem to play fine.

Nice job with this too. I never enjoyed the Grolla run as much as the Tia run, since you don't get weapon variety, but it's impressive to see the tricks used to minimize hits on bosses. The abuse of the Luste fight (and Schwer, to a lesser extent) was hilarious. As a side note, it's impressive how much a TAS trivializes the fights with Spiritia. I remember watching an RTA run of the game which had to go through energy tanks to be able to deal with unlucky patterns fighting Spiritia. (Maybe the strategies have really changed since then, though.)

Nice improvement to the game that the creator himself hates. It's surprising there was that much improvement in the karaoke area. It's also a little funny to see the character sing at a wall. Does the old man in the karaoke area only start to come out when the ladies are defeated? I thought he always took the same amount of time to enter the screen from when you start the song. was0x, do you have any interest in improving the low-glitch run on this game that goofydylan8 did?

Wow, nobody else has commented on this? Admittedly, I didn't check this out until now either, but that's still sort of sad. I'm guessing that since this is a puzzle mode, the pieces are not random. In this case, there's not much work to do to get the fastest solution. A TAS can only get a slightly faster time than a realtime player can, so this is a situation sort of like Myst. I didn't finish watching this, so I probably shouldn't vote. However, my vote is No for entertainment. The puzzle game moves along fairly well, but it gets old. My favorite bit of the entertainment was hearing tunes from the Dragon Warrior games in the music when you start.

Great improvement. The play just gets more and more fluid each time I see a run of this game. I really liked the old run, and this is just that bit better. It's hard to appreciate just how much faster Stage 5 is now.

Has there been any progress on publishing this movie? The last post is from a month ago, and this movie has been on the workbench since September. I know this can't be as easy to encode as many NES runs, but I would think this should now take priority over a few recent publications that got published within a few days of submission.

Good job further breaking a fairly generic adventure game, but since the gameplay is now almost completely OoB, there's nothing really entertaining to watch now. I voted No.

I liked this enough. Honestly, it didn't even really register to me that the previous run was pacifist; there didn't seem to be a whole lot of difference between the runs apart from a few occasional cops getting shot with batarangs and the major changes of the last boss fight. However, it's an entertaining short platformer. Yes.

I feel like the English translator for the game should be fired: "Liquid Kids" just feels very wrong as a title. That being said, the game is not bad. It reminds me of a more entertaining version of Kiwi Kraze, with some bits of Bubble Bobble in there (especially the warp zones). The graphics are pretty bad in some spots though, especially those fire circles that spawn enemies. Boss fights looked good, and you deal with crowds of enemies well. I feel like it should be able to be improved a little more, but I can't say how exactly. I vote Yes.

Ok, I get it. Also, I misread earlier; it was Spikestuff who goofed, not the judge. Thanks for the response. It's another dose of fast minigaming. The announcer always amuses me when they're this excited about the games. The only one that looked particularly impressive to me is the fourth one (Race or Fall); that seems like a more nontrivial optimization challenge. I'd say it's short enough to earn a Meh instead of a No from me.

Wait a second. You say the judge goofed... how? Because a couple things were slower in the old submission compared to the older one? It seems like this is an overall improvement anyway (with Race Or Fall and Totem Shrinker), so earlier judging issues don't seem relevant to me.

Great improvement! I was surprised at how different this run felt from the previous versions. My favorite route change was probably seeing 5-1 with the fast crouch hopping to get the Music Box. Though I am disappointed we don't see the crazy flying tail strategies in 6-5 anymore... This is probably a record for lowest number of live in a warpless run, but I'm not complaining. The 1up glitch with the Bob-omb makes up for it. And nice job with the crazy 7-Fortress1 strat, even if it does only save 8 frames.

This is a pretty mediocre Megaman game among the GB collection, but you play pretty solidly. Boss fights look pretty good, and there's good weapon energy and health management. The new wrapping glitch with the Hard Knuckle makes this a lot more interesting than it was before. Nice find!

Nice job. You take an extremely clunky game and manage to abuse its clunkiness more. Also, improving a run by adelikat generally is a major technical feat. Your submission comments still say WIP in them, by the way, unless you were planning on doing more edits. Nice job including that one Welsh city name in the intro stuff. Any interest in seeing if El Viento can be improved? It seems like it's less glitchy and generally faster-paced, though lag would still be a bitch. The weapon powers seem cool too.

Nice! This seems like a fun little game with ridiculously cheesy boss explosions. I'm glad to see this get improved after that canceled submission went away. It's good to see you found out about it and hopefully use it to measure improvements. I'd be curious to get some more details about this. What are the game mechanics you're talking about to get high DPS out of the guns? Why do some bosses get knee-dropped instead of blasted with the guns? (The miniboss in the first stage with hostages comes to mind.) I don't think most people would be able to read comments from the old run about the strategy choices, so a little detail here would be great. Nice thought to get Destro to fly horizontally. That's just unintuitive enough to be a clever timesaver. Good ammo management too at the end of the game.
