Wow, I remember this being really hard (though I would often try to find all the bonuses), and you completely obliterated this. Very nice job!

It desynced for me right at the very end... I guess the nunchaku throw didn't go off? I was using Gens v11a. I found this fairly amusing, but I don't really know the game, and a number of parts seem like they're impressive mainly when you know the game. I like how you handled the practice rounds though, and some of the enemy baiting was pretty funny. I'll come up with a vote when the run works for me.

Alright, that makes sense. I do remember the submarine being very clunky when I played the game, but I didn't know its hitbox was THAT bad. Also, I get what you're saying about taking damage. Where are you going to die to save time? After picking up the hard hat in the snorkeling area? Hopefully that actually respawns you at the beginning of the water section... I don't know how the game decides where to respawn you. Just as an FYI, in case you didn't already know, life doesn't refill between levels. That's really unfortunate.

Good luck Toothache! For what it's worth, I liked the rejected run from last year, and I'd love to see an improvement!

Sorry about the late response, but I only just discovered this thread and saw this run in the works. Very nice! I never would've expected to see the flying bats used for experience :-) Good luck, TheAxeMan! I'm also looking forward to this. I'm not sure how I can help, but I'd love to review WIPs.

Looks pretty good to me, Brushy! I'm impressed with how quickly that part of the game goes without kicking more enemies. That's also a lot of health to lose for that early in the game though... Also, I might be seeing things, but could the start of your submarine movement be more optimized? It seems like you wait longer than you should before you start rising when you dodge the first obstacle (whereas once you've cleared the obstacle, you hug the ceiling immediately afterward). I could be wrong though.

I'm amused to see this submission so soon after the last publication. It looks good though. I can actually see the improvement in 6-1, where the wallgrabs in the first section are made earlier to land on the bouncy platforms sooner. Yes vote.

One question: Does spitting nothing (air) at a boss damage it?
Not usually. All bosses only take damage from spitting enemies back at them, with one exception. That exception is Kaboola, the blimp boss of Stage 3. In fact, in that fight, the Mint Leaf picked up beforehand gives infinite flying and air puffs until the fight is over (usually a Mint Leaf lasts only a short time, as seen in Stage 4 after the miniboss). Also, in case anyone was wondering, this game doesn't have the ability to shoot double-stars when two enemies are inhaled.

Oh my god, you completely made my day. The fights against Kracko and King Dedede were totally the highlights; I never thought it was possible to effectively jump over Dedede to use both stars from his bouncing attack. Yes vote of awesomeness!

The filename used for the movie file in the publication should probably be changed to mention "all stages" in it somewhere. Currently the movie name is "rolanmen1-megamanzero", whereas the Any% run is "megamanzero-rolanmen1" ;-)

This game plays more like Smash TV than Shining Force. This got fairly repetitive, but it was also quite impressive. Bosses are a little anticlimactic, and they talk to much. This still gets a Yes vote though.

As far as WarioWare games go, I think this was done right. Some of the games were pretty amusing when you have time to mess around (such as the shooter boss battle). Recently, Salary Man Champ got published, and it's a similar sort of game style. However, that game has a run which is 10 min shorter, and you can actually see more TASing skill going into the games. Here, there's not as much playaround potential, but there is some. I was able to get through this run. All in all, Meh.

Nice, I was wondering what happened to this run! I can't watch this yet, but I look forward to this, and I'll edit my comments in when I've watched the run. By the way, you mention this game is a ripoff of Psycho Fox. Some research on Wikipedia says that this game, Decap Attack, and Psycho Fox are all made by the company Vic Tokai (and they all have similar styles of play). It seems that Vic Tokai was big on reskinning games for other countries... Decap Attack was a reskin of the Japanese "Magical Hat Flying Turbo Adventure", for instance. EDIT: Good work! I finally saw the run. I like the use of Wicky (the name of the red furball), especially with bosses. It feels like bosses should still be faster, but the game is weird like that. This is worth a Yes.

Thanks for the encode, fsvgm777. However, I couldn't make it 10 minutes through this movie. When the games are solved too quickly, there's nothing worth watching but cutscenes. Sorry, but this is not a TASable game at this rate.

Finally got a chance to watch this. I've played this game a lot years ago (mostly because of a dare), so it's certainly no easy feat to kick all these enemies without taking damage. However, as people have mentioned, this run needs to be a lot more precise. I have some quibbles as well with the route. I don't know if the game has any large glitches, but the route can still be changed a bit. If you're also willing to take damage to save time (death doesn't take very long in this game), this could probably save a lot of time in a few spots. Stage 1: There's no need to ride the donut/UFO vehicle. In the last room, take the left set of platforms instead of the right. Stage 2: What does the teleporter do after the first key? That might be useful. Stage 3: Do you actually need to collect all the machine parts? If it's possible to jump through the ship blocking that area and take some damage, it's well worth the time saved. Stage 4: The 1up is completely unnecessary, as is going into that one cave that you immediately exit. Given all that, this run is a start, but it needs to be better for this site. If you end up reworking this and want to post WIPs, I'm happy to help how I can though.

The password is needed to access the true last stage of the game. If I recall, MTV released this password a few months after the game's release, and then people who beat the true last stage could be entered in a sweepstakes with the info in the game's credits.

Man, this game looks like it should've been called Little Fat Riding Hood. This moves fairly slowly. There are some difficult jumps, and the boss skipping is pretty cool (pink golem), but the play ends up feeling pretty bland. Meh vote, leaning towards Yes.

Very nice! The stage where you slash the invincible enemies a lot looks silly, but the leveling clearly pays off. Yes vote.

Hi there Tuplanolla, There have been prior submissions of this game, actually. The fastest one I see from a simple search on this site is at http://tasvideos.org/700S.html which gets a time of 4:36.40 on Level 2. (This may be faster because it ends input early, so I don't know... your submission might have a faster in-game time.) It was rejected for being a bad game choice. I haven't watched this yet, so I don't know whether I agree with this being a bad game choice. However, maybe you should see what this other submitter did in order to beat their time. Good luck!

Thanks for posting this! It's ridiculous how much more of the game you've been able to skip. Unfortunately, this comes at the cost of some entertainment (for instance, you didn't get to eat a bomb). I guess the tradeoff is worth it though.

More so than the frictionless movie, this movie takes my childhood plight with this game and laughs in its face. Simply incredible.

I'm not sure what to say about this run. At some points, Hard mode was more impressive, but at other points, it just made the game a lot slower. There was less zipping possible. To avoid damage in a number of spots (especially in the Wily stages), there would be weapon switches to a stronger weapon to kill an enemy, immediately followed by a switch back to something like Item-1. Those switches broke the pace a bit. The quality of the run seems a little inconsistent. For instance, the first fights against Crashman and Airman look better than the refights. There's more precision in the first parts of the run than the last parts (some of it is due to Shinryuu, but not entirely). The underflow glitch for weapon ammo was pretty cool though. I like this run, but I'm not sure I like it better than the Normal run. However, the early parts of this run do show that the Normal run could be improved some.

Wow! First of all, this game's plot is absolutely ridiculous. (Seriously, if you watch the opening demo and the end credits, could they have possibly used more "quotation marks"?) On the other hand, the game is awesome, and you absolutely dominated it. This was great! EDIT: I'm not sure the game needs to be tagged as "Glitched Run". Yes, there are glitches, but I don't think it would be worth seeing a separate run which doesn't use those glitches. That tag makes the most sense when we would want runs both with and without the glitch, for the sake of entertainment (like the Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance runs with Maxim, for instance).

Umm... wow. Leave it to Aqfaq to go and break another game! Out of curiosity, do only the sword-swinging guys give you that much momentum when they damage you? Anyway, well done. The glitching managed to cut out pretty much all the parts that were boring in the previous run. Also, we have yet another run with more rerecords than frames.

At this point, the (J) vs. (U) debate is entirely a non-issue for me. This is Mega Man, after all. There is more ignorable dialogue in a 100% run (because of Blues / Protoman primarily), but I don't really think it's worth a big debate, especially not one with racial accusations. Since this run has been compared to the Any% anyway, using (J) seems appropriate. Thank you, sparky, for updating the submission comments with extra comparisons to the Any% run! I now am very confident in the technical ability of this run, even if a couple little glitches were omitted (like parrot14green has shown). It's nice to also see how this run does better than the Any% run in some places. The main question, I think, concerning publication of this movie is: is it worth having a separate run for 100%? spweasel makes some good points that a 100% run of this game offers comparatively little extra action for getting all the items. However, I think there's enough that's unique in this run to warrant an extra run. First of all, the boss order needs to be different to efficiently get all the items (Freeze Man first to get Rush Search, then Turbo Man first to get Blues and to get Beat in Slash Man). This lets us see different tactics against some of the bosses, which I found to be pretty entertaining. Second, the little bit of extra action is fairly good: getting Auto's Bolt was awesome, and there was decent entertainment while waiting for Rush to dig stuff up.
