I think I agree with oneeighthundred, where a run with a slightly more consistent goal would work well here. I do think, though, that this is still a fairly good amount of variety for all the quick victories, including a couple fights where you actually do drain the opponent's life. Hopefully this makes a nice gift for your friend, but this probably isn't the right SC2 run to get published.

I'm very glad to see this on the queue, but Bizhawk always runs really slowly for me when I try to watch stuff in the emulator. I don't know if that's just a sign my computer is a little old, or if I've misconfigured Bizhawk, but I'll probably need an encode to watch this. EDIT: Thanks to zallard1 for making the encode and to Patashu for posting it!

I can't watch this now, but it's great to see there are more improvements! The generator of Area 7 sounds utterly genius. nEilfox, when you describe position, are you talking about subpixels? Or is this a game that changes position in some unusual way to avoid using subpixels (sort of like Super Mario Land 2)? EDIT: I got to watch the run, and it was great. I mostly like your entertainment choices after destroying generators, and the new boss strategy in Area 7 is brilliant.

This is a great first TAS! I'm glad to see some really novel approaches in this one. I also appreciate the in-depth submission text. It's a shame this won't be movie 1786 when it's published, but it still definitely deserves publication.

Yay! Unfortunately, I'm somewhere without my emulators, so I'll have to check this out later, but thanks for updating this run! I am also amused to see you must have been in progress with this run when I commented on the Tails run. EDIT: Saw it in emulator. The new zips make the run more repetitive, but the run is still quite fun. I didn't like seeing as long of a pause as you guys made in the Final Zone, but I understand your reasoning. Yes vote.

Tub: The RNG is still dependent on user input, so technically the manner in which you enter the answers would affect the next questions, if I understand the description correctly. Controlling the blocked words is important, but there's also an input-dependent factor. I completely understand your opinion though.

Nice zipping glitch! drakorg23, perhaps you should comment in the thread for this game, at http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=11491 However, it seems like that thread has also been pretty quiet.

Personman: By "it demonstrates something unique", I should've said that "it" refers to the run, not to the game. Sorry about that. I figure that a strictly-fastest TAS run will hopefully show a level of skill that is beyond an RTA, which would be novel enough to merit publication. So yep, I would publish a TAS which is only a second faster than the fastest RTA as long as it was optimized enough to meet the main standards of the site.

I figure I'm in good company when I say that I was more impressed by the effort than by the final product. The game isn't that interesting, I think, if you just look at it from the perspective of a regular game player, except that somehow the player knows the answer right away. When I see the comments about how EUCLID was picked for a puzzle, though, then I appreciate how quickly the cursor can select every letter other than U. Given this, I voted Meh. This could be an interesting publication with the right description provided. I'm also in favor of allowing any game type to be Vault-eligible as long as it demonstrates something unique compared to regular timeattacking. (I mean, Myst made it into the Vault, and not just because of the slight playaround at the end. That run is exactly the same route and tricks as the RTA.)

Echoing a few others in this thread, I don't really have a problem with the consistency of the goals. The only glitch that I have some issue with is the reuse of Guts blocks in the Elecman and Wily 3 fights. The two big optimization issues that stood out for me were: * Getting stage bonuses above 5000 points * The Wily 3 fight is also noticeably suboptimal more so than others, I find. That being said, I like the way this run looks. I would want to see a slightly more polished version later, but this is good enough for now, and I'd say it can belong in Moons. By publishing this, it may also encourage other people to improve it more than if it is rejected.

Somehow, this movie is both published and still in the front page's submission list.

Highness: Good point. I guess the relevant question is really "Is this run missing its goal to the point of being sloppy?" Another relevant factor is how much work it would take to redo or make changes. In this case, the game is not that long, the strategies are generally repetitive when aiming for fastest time, and the mistake of ending with flawless victories is pretty obvious. All of these point to rejection. In contrast, nearly none of the flaws the FFIII run were largely noticeable at the time of the run's publication, and they were hard to go back and fix in a run that couldn't be hexed easily.

Spikestuff: I'm not sure that SDR's tournament mode run applies here. First of all, that run is still a playaround. Second, I'm not sure that fastest-time runs can be obsoleted by a run in a different category (though Todd's Adventures in Slime World seems to be a recent example to the contrary...) Anyway, I can't check this out yet, but I'm curious to see this. If it's technically well-done, I think it's still eligible for Vault.

I was a little confused watching this as to why you didn't use blue ninja more often, but then I saw your comment that you can only use the blue ninja 5 times. This was pretty good for a run-right-for-justice game. The bosses get obliterated. The weapon variety also helps, and I give this a (weak) Yes vote.

Nice job! Do you have any interest in improving the Knuckles hack? JXQ's run is really outdated by this point.

There isn't a lot of content in this run, but I found it pretty interesting, and I liked seeing the AI slowly kill itself in the end out of stupidity. I also agree with what SmashManiac was saying about how this situation isn't like a WIP. It's also definitely a short enough run to avoid getting real boring. I'm in favor of having this put up as a Moons run in just this mode. If an all-modes run comes out later, then we can discuss whether that would obsolete this run.

I'm sorry I didn't follow up with this run more, but my lack of actual TASing skill generally leads me to be less help in WIP threads. I will say I've been a fan of the goals, and I like how you went for the extra items here. (Even if you did skip the White Sword upgrade and the first boomerang, but I have no problems with that when you get better items...) I think the goal choice is pretty funny, like Link is so afraid of his quest that he overprepares and gets all the really expensive useless gear hoping it helps. He then goes to fight Ganon all suited up with his fancy red armor and big shield, and then he proceeds to use none of it. Alternately, think of the guys at Home Depot who buy the absolute fanciest tools but have no clue how to actually build anything. I like to think of Link as being that clueless and also OCD when he goes and gets all the maps and compasses. On top of that, after Link goes and buys all the expensive junk, he ends the game flat broke! I'd say this certainly qualifies as a 100% category in that it collects the best possible items that can appear in the status. It doesn't open every single hidden rupee cave, but that goal doesn't change permanent status of the character. I mean, he bought the Bait twice so that the Bait would end up in his inventory at the end of the game, which shows careful consideration of the goal. He couldn't hold onto the Note because Medicine replaces it, but I think the right choice was made. All in all, this is a great example of manipulation, with some good usage of glitches thrown in too. I'm voting Yes.

It's a good runthrough of the game. However, the game wasn't that interesting to me. It has movement patterns like Metal Gear but without all the item usage and other things that make Metal Gear interesting. The last boss was cool, but everything else dies too fast to do anything particularly captivating. Nice job on creaming your (unassisted) WR time, but I have to suggest this as Vault material for TASing.

Wow! I would not have expected a slower character to produce this fun a run. Runs of Sonic games tend to get repetitive to me when Sonic just blurs by, but Amy's slower overall speed actually made more of the strategies watchable in real time, and her variety of animation is pretty fun. Egg Rocket 1 was especially interesting given her vertical tricks like the high jump with the hammer. This would go really well with the other runs we already have for this game. Thanks for making it (especially you, GoddessMaria)! Yes vote.

Thanks for the preliminary encode! That was an amusing little run. It's definitely way simpler than X2 Wolverine's Revenge (which I think is a much better game), but it's also shorter and less laggy. Wolverine's pose upon finishing each stage is priceless. The rage attack is pretty cool. The platforming is pretty repetitive, but the game is short enough to not get old. I think all of the music is pretty bad, but it works. It's a shame the bosses don't put up more interesting challenges. I decided on Yes, but this is a pretty close vote to Meh.

Great screenshot choice! And congrats on the publication.
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically. Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.)

I was pleasantly surprised by how much variety this platformer is, and it's short enough to avoid getting repetitive. It would probably be better with actual boss fights, but the game looks pretty good even without them. And the run looks good too.

You've been really prolific in running Mega Man lately, Mothrayas. Great job again! I'm surprised that the improvement was as small as it was, though the cutscene skip was a cool change. It's pretty tough to tell this run apart from the currently published run. I guess the only Mega Man game for GB that's missing now is MM4.

Sorry I didn't check this out sooner, but I wanted specifically to watch this via emulator as opposed to YouTube... when I'm on vacation, I don't have my emulators, and I knew I'd want to use the fast-forward feature of the emulator. This still isn't a really interesting RPG, I think. However, it's not often you see 24 minutes of improvement, or about 1/7th of the whole run! It was really funny to see how you beat bosses more quickly by letting them attack you real hard and using AtkBack. Basically, the final boss punches himself to death at the end. I still don't think this is entertaining enough for a Yes vote, but I'm giving it a high-valued Meh. Great improvement anyway!

I liked this. The autoscroller in Louie 2 is a letdown, but the rest of the action is fluid, the boss fights look difficult and entertaining, and there are plenty of precise maneuvers. I loved seeing the massive abuse of damage boosts for high bounces. This may make this my favorite of the Jungle Book runs. Yes vote.
