I'm not sure I understand your explanation Shinryuu, but that's because I'm not really familiar with all the technical parts of the game.
Would it be safe to say that although you can keep zipping in Woodman's stage, you eventually need to scroll the screen to the correct position in the stage, and dying is the fastest way to do it? Essentially, what we see on the screen doesn't correspond at all with what the game thinks is your map location at the time, and the death fixes this issue very quickly.

What exactly happened in 8-4 with the shaded/dark ground? Was that an encoding issue or a graphical glitch?
I don't remember what you're talking about but I did increase the bottom view by 7 pixels to allow the video to be encoded in h263 (height multiple of 8). So if you're talking about the bottom 7 pixels, that's just nes garbage that isn't supposed to appear on the tv.
When I watch this movie in FCEUX, the shaded/dark ground doesn't appear. It must be because of the encoding.

I would think this DOES make you a good TASer, just not one with a lot of variety. The best TASes are frequently made by people who learn a game really well to figure out all its tricky details. For example, the Super Metroid no-boss run requires deep technical knowledge of the game to pull it off.

This game really doesn't look that fun in this run. The graphics hurt my eyes. The music got old pretty fast. Also, although the game seems to be difficult, it seems like you never had a problem taking damage, and you always had plenty of health to take more hits (this was more the case for Jerry than for Tom).
As for the run itself, it's alright. It feels unoptimized, especially when you're jumping your way up staircases. The gameplay wasn't particularly entertaining when you could take damage all the time and never get into any close calls. I don't think this is bad, per se, but it doesn't look great either. Meh leaning towards No.

Thanks for the YouTube encode, FODA!
I'm still not a big fan of the amount of times that backwards running is used, but I think this run looks quite good stylistically. Also, I'm amazed by your technical understanding of the game, HappyLee. 6-2 was absolutely incredible.
MUGG, if I recall correctly, there's no flagpole glitch in 8-3 because there isn't any way to get down to the bottom of the flag without losing a lot of running speed, too much to be able to pull off the flagpole glitch (or, at least, you don't save time doing this). The run with warps hits the flag in 8-3 as well.
I just have one question: can the screen-scrolling glitch that was found for the walkathon save any time? I wasn't sure if it was needed when you're able to run.

Very nice job! I liked seeing the details in your submission comments about the new improvements. I would've never suspected that Excitebike could get this technical. Also, the style choices were clever; my favorite was probably track 5, since I would probably want to be that bouncy and carefree if I could ride with TAS power.

I would be interested in having this run obsolete the Kirby's Avalanche published run. Having Kirby characters present really isn't that important, and it certainly has no impact on the game. This is also the shorter game, with no essential loss of gameplay between this movie and the other Kirby's Avalanche run.
However, having both games with runs would also be fine. I'd like to mention the example of Baxter's runs for Tetris Attack and Panel de Pon, though those were both accepted for having radically different strategies. I don't know these games well enough to have any better inputs, sorry.

Hey, I apologize if this is rude to ask, but how's encoding going for this movie? I know there's all kinds of good movies being encoded, but this has been sitting for probably a month or two.

Given the judging decision for this movie, will this obsolete the published Kirby's Avalanche run? After all, the rejected run was faster than the published run.

I love seeing the Chain Rod in action. It's not quite as pretty as the Shield Boomerang, but it really made the difference in this run. I'd suggest any good picture with it as a screenshot, like in the miniboss fight somewhere around frame 104500 (I didn't get a precise number in that area, sorry).
Did you lose time in the Forest of Notus because of the EX Skill you didn't need to open, or was there another reason?

The game is just really darn long. I actually liked seeing damage being taken... it makes B.O.B. charge more like Rambo and it makes the car-riding stages much faster. I would really like to see an improved plan of ammo usage, and it would've been fun to see more weapons used without losing time. The fist is always fun, for instance.

Holy goodness. I like that this run is mostly similar to the previous one, because the previous was already such a treat to watch. I don't enjoy the new Woodman route as much, maybe because I have a special fondness for the random Item-2 you used to use in the area with the bamboo-swinging apes, but this new route still has an amazing WOW factor. I also liked the new playaround with the Wily 2 boss, and the spastic movement before the Wily 1 dragon seemed appropriate.
Hell yes.

If this isn't going to be a big change to the original movie (like the last update was with the Thunder magic bug), then you should just PM the new file with changes rather than making a new submission. As it stands, this sounds more major.
If/when you resubmit, do you think you could have a short blurb at the top of the submission describing the improvements? It's tricky to tell what was improved by reading through all of the comments. Similarly, when a submission gets canceled, it's nice to see a short bit at the top saying why it was canceled.

Glad to see the improvements! With the Thunder spell being used in addition to sword-stabbing, the level grinding was slightly less monotonous to watch. There's still tons of walking to do... can death abuse be helpful anywhere else in the game to get back out of caves?
I had to watch a fair bit of this on fast-forward, because many of the screens look quite similar and repetitive, but the boss fights are awesome and the route planning with the health and magic seems quite good. The game now has a TAS feel to it.

This seems more like it's a run that should be discussed in the game forums as a WIP before being submitted to the Workbench.

Man, watching this game makes me want to see more of Psycho Fox and Decap Attack as well! They're all pretty goofy games. I mean, what in the world are you even pumping up when you kill these bosses? Maybe there are remote-control explosives in their bellies? Also, the ending is hilarious.
This was enjoyable, and it looks good to me. Yes vote.

Nice job! The improvements around the claws in Stage 7 are really noticeable compared to the old run.
I'm curious about a few things, if you could explain:
1. You sometimes have stray shots with the regular weapon. How does that help?
2. Why is in that in Stage 5, you can get past the first tank dying once, but you need to die twice on the second tank?

Found the right ROM, and watched this. Very nice! The shortcuts were awesome (especially this one wall you just walked through in the second stage near the end), and the boss fights looked a lot better. Definitely a yes vote.

I went to the provided link to get dega 1.16, but no matter which of the builds I tried for Windows, the game desynced. With the doze core build, the game desynced at the title menu. With the mame core, it desynced while fighting the first tree boss. Any suggestions for playing this back?

Oh man, I love watching this game. Nice job again! Out of curiosity, it looks like you use a fireball or bomb before you've finished scrolling onto the boss screen (such as in the third-to-last fight of Level 6)... what is that for?

Thanks for the encode Alden! I found this game pretty funny at first (the animations are amusing), but it dragged on. As Derakon points out, the game doesn't look like it's played as smoothly later on, though you can tell that the game is pretty hard. I don't know what the game designers were thinking with Stage 5. Meh vote leaning towards yes.

At first I was skeptical about enjoying a run that aims to go through 100% of the rooms, since that usually means annoying things like entering and leaving rooms quickly or repeating the same entry areas a lot. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much variety the game has and how much those earlier annoyances didn't come up much. It was also fun to see the run use other powers, like UFO and Smash.
Very nice exploration through this very colorful game.
Also, I still love watching Missile get used. It's clear that a TASer has so much more control over it than the average player.

Is it possible to hex-edit a small delay in motion so that the glitched flames go away? This might make a redo of that section necessary, since the section will be less laggy, but I'd hope that the rest of the movie syncs just fine.
Either way, I still find this a pretty impressive run, and the glitched flames actually amuse me quite a bit.

FODA, in this game, Big Blarg (or Blag, I don't know which) is a level-ending boss, so I'm not sure if the trick applies. I would like to know, though, where this trick comes in handy, because I think this movie only features it occasionally in stage 6.

Very nice improvements! The route is definitely more interesting, since there's no water to swim through. The only thing I would suggest is that in 5-1, when you fall down the long shaft and you wobble left and right a lot, wobbling usually looks bad. Instead, I would suggest maybe turning with the rhythm of the music.
Oh, and you probably mean "level selection" instead of "line select" in your submission comments. Once again, good job!

I could swear I saw a few missed shots in the ice level, for instance where you fire a shot before firing a small shot to take out the skater on the top part of the stage. If it were the charged Bomb weapon (that's what that weapon is translated to in the GB version), the explosion would have been bigger.
Still, good run! I guess I'm just being picky.
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.)
Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html)
Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature!
Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run. From the submission comments:
Shoutouts and thanks to mklip2001 for arguably being the nicest and most supportive person on the forums.
