If this doesn't get published, then I like p4wn3r's idea of having a link provided in the current publication's text that points to this submission. I mean, no matter which way this decision is judged, I think we all acknowledge that (a) there are no new strategies here, and (b) Masterjun did put in the proper work for this movie, rather than just copy-pasting. It really just comes down to establishing careful precedent of how to treat more accurate emulators. The discussion of whether resyncing can be done automatically is just largely academic at this point. Sorry... I just figured a little summary post was appropriate given the long posts put in this thread recently.

Spectacular. I like the garbled ending :-) Yes vote. Now, is there any interest in updating the less-glitched run by JXQ? A new all-stages run is always tricky to plan, since no matter what you do, it feels some power will just get abused all the time.

Wow, I'd forgotten I played this game as a kid. I was disappointed at the time with how little it resembled DKC, but now it's cool to see the game differences. I'd say this game was definitely harder too. I was worried the game would feel sort of slow, clunky, and repetitive, since you couldn't get speed boosts from rolling. However, I'm glad I was wrong. You made some incredible bounces and tricky jumps. While you didn't get much of a chance to show off some of the new stuff in the game (like the nautilus that chases you, the bouncy tornadoes, the buttons that rotate barrels, and the KONG-crazy level near the start of World 4), I'm very happy with how this looks. Yes vote.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one in this thread who thought of [2058M|Poko-Nyan] when I watched this. While simplistic, it is quite amusing and also very Japanese. The end gets more interesting too. It was too hard for me to watch this all in one sitting though. I'm going with Meh leaning towards Yes. Nevertheless, I applaud your goal of getting masterpieces into the submission queue... maybe you and Aqfaq should work together on this ;-) NitroGenesis: "Mr."?

Thank you! This was pretty funny. I guess stealth isn't a high priority here. I especially like the repeated jumps through the air (they're very peaceful) and the incredibly bad voice acting. Seriously, the acting is on the level of pornography quality, and Lord Mei-Oh looks like he is the hero of Demon Sword :-) Good job!

I'm thrilled to see a run of Tenchu in the Workbench! However, I can't run PSXjin on my machine. Is there any video encode around?

My first reaction upon seeing the submission text was "Wait, lsnes runs Game Boy games??" I know I'm out of the loop on this, but the name of the emulator just seems badly-fitted for being the preferred emulator for GB/GBC. Anyway, good job with the improvement in technique.

This seems to be a standard GBA platformer. However, I'm glad to see one of these games which doesn't lag all the time. The art style amuses me too. I found this pretty enjoyable, especially since you can launch attacks without stopping or slowing down. Most importantly, you get to punch a t-rex IN THE FACE :-) FractalFusion: Thank you for the encode! Also, you asked about the deaths by the swinging ropes. After the deaths, the rope is now in the correct position. (It seems it was faster to die than to wait for the rope to swing to the left.) Qwerty6000: Good job! The run seems fairly solid and simple. This seems like a fairly simple game to run, so I have a couple questions: 1) Where are you manipulating luck? 2) How do you think the run can be improved? It seems to me that Stage 7 is the most improvable: * There's lag when you shoot rockets from far away. * Rather than take damage on the ropes, it looks like you should instead shoot the black robot enemies beforehand. Stage 15 (where you play the gorilla) seems a little slow too; it's not consistent whether you punch an enemy or jump. It also seems you make some jumps too soon, causing you to grab edges you don't need to grab.

Mothrayas: Wouldn't this still qualify as an any% run? I think it's trying to be as fast as possible with some minor speed-entertainment tradeoffs. I'd say this should be Vault-eligible as the first movie of the game, but a later any% movie which ignores the no-damage or pacifist roles could obsolete it.

Funny, but too repetitive for a Yes vote for me. My reasoning is the same as in the other thread. Good job with the optimization, though.

Alright, that looks fairly good. The wall glitch is pretty hilarious. I still am not sure this movie deserves a higher tier than Vault, but it looks like a pretty good solid movie. I'm giving a Meh in entertainment.

xxNKxx... maybe slow down a bit. When you make your runs, make a forum thread and post WIPs. If you can get people to comment while you're making the run, it will be a better product instead of making hasty submissions.

I haven't watched this yet, but I have an important question. There have been several submissions of this game already: Yunshui had a run slightly longer than 6 minutes, for instance. This suggests that a no-damage run is around TWICE as long as one taking damage. Is the no-damage restriction really worth all that extra time?

Alright, I saw the changes on the conveyors. I feel it could still be a little better, but it's hard to say exactly where.

I'm glad to see this fixed up. However, I'm a little concerned. You made this really quickly, and with a pretty low rerecord count. Based on what MURPHAGATOR said, it seems this game is fairly complex to optimize... EDIT: Ok, I watched this. You definitely do a much better job with path planning... the routes look tighter, and you skip more parts of the course. (I especially liked the jungle stages now.) However, it looks like you could still do better in the final stage: 1) At the beginning of the conveyor belt area, you may want to jump earlier, so that you land on the conveyor sooner and ride it more. I'm sure there are one or two more areas where you can ride forward conveyor belts for longer. 2) For the final boss, you can probably end input earlier if you end with a punisher flip instead of with a jump kick. If you want to just make small changes, you should be able to just ask a judge to replace the submission file instead of canceling and making a new submission.

Very nice! I don't like the look of all the jumping, but it's very much worth when the lag is reduced by this much. Skipping the sword powerups was quite surprising. Yes vote.

I found this game a little too long to be worth a Yes vote; the action didn't have a whole lot of variety for me. However, this is definitely well-played, and the stages at the end are definitely more interesting than the beginning stages. Good job! I have one question: does the game intend for you to get an extra jump by throwing enemies downward, or is that a glitch?

Heehee, I never knew this game existed, but I like it. It's basic platforming, but the premise is ridiculous. For instance, in the stage when you dodge barrels from the truck, how did the truck get there? Wasn't the road broken before that part? :-) Spikestuff: It doesn't look like you lose speed when changing direction, so it doesn't matter too much how you do turns. However, it does look like some turns went too far from the walls to be optimal. I would like to also see more diagonal jumping to save path time. xxNKxx: Could you explain a little more in the submission text? I'd like to know (a) if the team choice makes any difference, and (b) how the backflip kicks work (it seems you have a limited number of them). This looks like a fairly simply game, but I found it entertaining (the music rocks), and I voted Yes. However, I wonder how much optimization is possible.

I'm not sure I knew of this game's existence until I saw this submission, and I've played Super Adventure Island. This game is... rather different. It's sort of like what Adventure Island IV did for the NES games, but it feels less professional and even less connected to the game series. Higgins talks in the cutscenes?! However, this was a pretty good watch. The game has too many powerups for its own good, especially once you just start using the Light Sword or the Shovel for almost everything. There was good health management, and some of the boss fights are cool. I'll give this a weak Yes.

Wonderful job! The double-jump looks great. The 2D stages are usually the most interesting, when you zip on the spikes and jump like crazy. I also really like the visualizer on your video, pirohiko. When this gets published, we should make a link to that video in the publication. I just have a few questions: 1) How much time do you think is saved because of the shorter box messages in the J version? I would guess at least half the improvement is because of this... first of all, you can jump more when you're not required to break boxes, and secondly you don't have to die in the stages. 2) Would you be interested in doing some kind of 100% run for the second Crash Bandicoot game? You did a great job with the glitched run, so a 100% run would be a good complement to that run (and I think it could obsolete Mukki's run).

Congrats, laranja! May I recommend using a different screenshot? This screenshot makes it look like Riddick Bowe is in charge and more aggressive. If you get a spot right around 0:49 in the encode, then the player's character has just finished an uppercut and has a really silly look on his face. I think that should be the screenshot :-)

It's a repetitive run, but each course is really impressively fast. I liked seeing occasional mode changes to spice things up (and to see how cheesy the character models are). It was a good choice to use the push-button code before the races, and 1-lap races are definitely preferred. I'm somewhere between Meh (for the cutscenes) and Yes (for the zip of the run) for my vote. I guess I'll say I'm voting for Moons+.

I'm glad to see this back. Admittedly, it does get repetitive if you don't know the game, and I really don't. However, the submission text is great at showing just how incredibly unlikely this fight is. It's also funny if you imagine Riddick Bowe getting more and more frustrated as the fight goes on. I wouldn't call this a playaround, since it does have one clear goal in mind and then plays it as fast as possible (with one or two tradeoffs). I have no problem with the worst character fighting the best; that actually makes the run a whole lot better. The problematic part of the goal is that it only features one bout, making it comparable to the really old single-track Top Gear and F-Zero runs. I would be inclined to accept it for Vault as a demonstration of superhuman ability, but I don't know where the rules of the Vault allow for that :/ Could we publish this to the Vault with the provision that a full-game run (whatever that may be) has the ability to obsolete it?
