Krocketneo's run also used the second selection of weapons. Thus, this run is not a separate category from that run.

Nice! By the way, will the short run of SMB3 be updated to include a quicker Bowser death? It seems like that shouldn't be too hard to change, since the change occurs at the end of the movie.

Oops, I meant FF6. The point is, I think the discussion in this thread suggested NOT obsoleting erokky's run.

Wicked: The previous submission of this game aimed for fastest input time, but the game continued for a while with no input until the computer player lost. This time, the computer player loses sooner, and better combos are made. I'm not sure what this becomes for a goal: maybe this is a playaround? NitroGenesis: Interesting change from your last attempt at this game. However, it seems that this game doesn't really offer anything as a platformer that the site doesn't already have: for instance, there's less action and speed than Snood or Paneru de Pon. The game is about as bad as Columns. By the way, you punched the enemy Sonic 4 times, not 3. I'm going to have to vote No for game choice. However, the run seems alright from a technical standpoint.

Ok, that's a pretty silly game... why does it need to have Sonic in it? ;-) The game is not particularly interesting, but it's a passable puzzle game (slightly better than Columns). It seems like you rotate your pieces fairly late, after they've already landed; is this for luck manipulation? I'm not sure how I feel about the ending though. Sure, the game is beaten, but I was hoping for some big combo to appear, and it never did. In fact, you got hit by an enemy attack during the time when the input was stopped. So although this does beat the game, it looks a little sloppy, and it's not as cool as the Monopoly turns that happen after input is stopped. Not voting yet. PS: I think that "shortest input time" doesn't need to be explicitly put in the category name. You can just make one of your goals "Aims for shortest input time", as opposed to "Ingame time" or "Real time".

Wait, why does this obsolete the FF7 run? The only reason this run is faster on FF7 is because the Japanese ROM is used, which seems to have shorter texts and the one bug with the Moogle Charm. I think neo_omegon has even said that he feels his run is a little worse than erokky's.

It's too bad this run doesn't give as many opportunities for 1up bouncing. However, there's still plenty of entertainment (except for the airship stages, mostly). I was amused by standing still at the beginning of the first World 8 tank stage; I presume that's a reference to Tiananmen Square.

When I click the link for the fm2 file, I get transferred to a text thing that says "gruu" rather than actually downloading a zip file. Is this an issue with the publication? (I just upgraded Firefox, so I don't know if I screwed something up there that causes this behavior...)

Ok, that explains it. Thanks! As another screenshot suggestion, 27737 (or something in that vicinity). That clap on the third boss cracked me up!

No vote for having less entertainment than JXQ in the submission text and in the vertical shaft from Area F. Seriously, one of my favorite parts of that run was the dancing to the music with the robot helper. Joking aside, nice job with lag management. 13 seconds of lag removed from Area C is utterly ridiculous. Thank you for giving us a good run of an underappreciated game. Two questions, though. In Area C, how do you manage to take all that damage in the last stretch and still retain the brown suit? And in the last region, why pick up the Beta powerup? EDIT: My vote was actually Yes.

Interesting! SDA recently published a run for this on the Genesis. That run used the Sonic Clap a lot more often, especially on that one miniboss (I think he's Abomination?). After seeing that run, it was refreshing to watch this TAS completely bash the hell out of every boss in no time. By the way, in the first stage, there seem to be two pills in the sewer. You pass up the one near the ladder and get the one in the secret passage. Why not just use the one in the ladder? In any case, nice job, Dooty!

This run is alright. This seems like a difficult game to make really fast. Unfortunately, the game is also very repetitive. Since the enemy dodging looked good sometimes, I think this earns a weak Meh vote.

I finally watched the run. Much thanks to sgrunt and mike89 for clarifying the intent of the run and explaining some points. I can confirm that no spindashes appeared in the run (the spin sound occurs sometimes as a result of rolling). Comments on the goals: The goals seem reasonable when described as "Sonic 1 style". (I would even propose that as a category name.) Some stages really benefit from seeing more of their scenery without spindashing, especially Mystic Caves. On the other hand, some parts suffer from not having spindash or Tails (the worst case of this is probably the Aquatic Ruin and Metropolis boss fights). Comments on the run quality: The technical quality seems fairly good, especially for a first run with these goals. There's probably more tweaking that can be done, but Sonic games seem to be really hard to optimize, and games like Sonic 1 have undergone many revisions over time. Some of the tricks are also awesome at slow speed: the Metropolis stages were a giant bucket of WTF. All in all, I can see this category being acceptable. I give a weak Yes for this movie, and it would be nice to see some competition for this category of a run for Sonic 2. (However, let's NOT make a "Sonic 1 style" run for Sonic 3, because that game is way too long.)

Pretty nice! The game lags a lot, but the action is quite entertaining. I was amused by dancing with Destro as well. The only part that seems suspicious to me is the final Cobra Commander fight: you seem to fire a lot more during the first couple jumps at the beginning of the fight, and you shoot rather late on the last jump when you end input. Other miscellaneous comments: 1. A snowboard wouldn't help much for Route 6, given that you're going uphill ;-) 2. Should BoltR get co-author credit?

I was not familiar with this game before watching the run. Now that I've seen it, I don't like the game. The pace is slow, even for running away from battles. I find the HP drain for magic spells a really annoying gameplay mechanic. The music is not particularly good. It's also really hard to tell what any of the plot is or what the items are supposed to be (though I'm sure someone more familiar with the game would enjoy this run more). However, the technical quality seems pretty darn good. There were a whole lot of battles won with very little health left. I liked how bosses were generally manipulated. I'm not sure what to vote yet, since it seems to be a really good run of a really annoying RPG.

If you hate this game so much, then I presume you don't want to try out Simpsons: Bart vs. The World... ;-) The control scheme in that game is pretty similar, though there is more platforming and fewer random objectives. Anyway, this looks nice. I'm surprised you couldn't die more times in the last level to save time, but this looks a lot better with more visits by Marge. Also, good playaround while waiting for the disappearing blocks in Stage 4.

The run looks incredible so far, especially the weapon-energy drops. Nice job!

I managed to get this movie to sync all the way through with FCEU 0.98.12, but nothing else caused Hole 60 to work. This is surprising, since Hole 40 worked on every emulator I tried, and those two holes use the same mysterious glitch. That's still an amazing glitch. Has anyone figured out what causes it?

I'm not sure why the game is back on the US version, but that's only a minor concern. Very nice run! I like your style, such as with the T. Rex in Slash Man and the Gutsman fight in Wily 1. It's also interesting to see Shade Man fought with the regular weapon for once. Yes vote.

Nice going Toothache! This looks pretty good so far. I'm glad to see some fist usage. The bosses were pretty awesome too. It's been a while since I've seen last year's submission, so I'm curious: where did the huge savings on World 5 come from? That looked like an especially simple stage. Are your comparisons against last year's run, by the way? If so, how does this compare against the published run?

There are improvements, but this looks pretty solid for now. The tricks and the wipeouts make this more interesting than Rad Racer, and it's nice to see some close calls here and there. Also, it's a fun carefree attitude to see a dude bouncing over and over with the Up+B+C jump ignoring traffic. This gets a mild Yes vote.

I still think this is the best game that TASVideos has for speedrunning; the results of the TAS are so beautiful compared to normal play by many gamers. This is magnificent. There are bombs everywhere. I swear that if the 100% run is anywhere this cool, I will donate money to TASVideos in honor of these runs. It's the least I can do for you guys making my month, maybe even year.

I was worried that this was going to be more boring than the first game, since it's longer and you fight less. But I was pleasantly surprised. Almost everything is better about this game: the pacing, the music, the layout of the levels, the attempt at a storyline (which helps keep a long movie watchable). I liked seeing the bosses take some time, so that you have to actually dodge attacks. Also, you have ninjas :-) All this adds up to a Yes vote. As a suggestion, perhaps a Lua script should be provided that fast-forwards through cutscenes like boss text, if such a script is possible?

Hi there Olivebates! I was able to successfully watch this run with Dega v1.15, so the choice of emulator is not a problem. However, I don't think this is a good choice of game. For instance, if you have to sit back and not do anything in the first training round, just to avoid making lag, that's not a good sign for entertainment. The third training round was sorta funny at first, but that was also really repetitive. It looks like you played well, but the game looks pretty bad, and the training periods between the fights make it less fun. As a result, I feel I have to vote No. However, I think that you could do well with TASing another game. Your SMW hack videos look pretty good; maybe you'd want to play around with the Super Demo World run we have? (I'm not sure if other SMW hacks would be well accepted by this community...)

Wow, I wasn't expecting your last run to be improved this soon. Nice job with it! The zippings are especially cool. A couple questions, though. In 3-2, is it worth getting into the ceiling so early? (It seems like you spend a lot of time setting up the glitch, when you get onto the ceiling pretty soon later in the stage anyway.) Second, for the world 3 boss, why don't you use the same strategy as in worlds 4 through 6 of moving the pump left and keeping the boss still with Wicky?
