It could have been a yes vote if not for the bonus stages which I absolutely had to fastforward through. But then again, it would have been a very weak yes even without them… But it's not that bad, so I voted meh.

Is it impossible to hexedit it?

This scene is one of my all-time favorites. I saw it for the first time in the age of about 5, and remember it since then. Script:
Matrix: [holds Sully upside-down over a cliff by his leg] Listen, loyalty is very touching. But it is not the most important thing in your life right now! But what IS important is gravity! I have to remind you Sully, this is my weak arm! Sully: You can't kill me Matrix! You need me to find your daughter! Matrix: Where is she? Sully: I don't know. But Cooke knows, I'll take you to where I meet him! Matrix: But you won't. Sully: Why is this? Matrix: [holds the hotel key he stole from Sully that Cooke is staying at] Because I already know. Hey, Sully, remember when I said I would kill you last? Sully: That's right, Matrix! You did! Matrix: I lied.
But then again, Commando is very rich on such things. Arnie at his best. %)

How very consistent of you. Unless you were going to reserve them for yourself to paste.

My WIP here.
Very interesting. Somehow you were able to gain a frame on Yrr's new WIP in the first room. Then you lost it before the Grave Keeper soul, but immediately regained later in that room, and were already 7 frames faster in the axe armor room, 21 (!) frames faster after Creaking Skull fight, 31 frames faster after the blue crow shaft, and 38 frames faster after the skeleton knight room. That's a lot for some ~100 seconds of gameplay, especially considering it's Yrr's 3rd attempt at this game. I really think you should work together on this run. First of all, that would help reduce the strain on motivation and free some time for both of you. In the end, instead of two fast movies (at best), we will get one even faster movie, which is good for everyone.

Slightly off-topic, but… does that mean you'll be back at TASing once SMS rerecording comes around?

I'm the only one lame enough to notice the somewhat funny scene at the end of stage 15?
Nope, "a hundred in the crotch" amused me as well.

Mugg the vote is "Did you enjoy watching this movie?" and from what I can see, you didn't watch the whole thing.
Ironically, the poll asks "did you enjoy watching this movie", not "did you enjoy watching the whole thing".

Is there a way to know what should I do in order to get a certain item dropped by enemy?
No certain way yet. You have to manipulate randomness and hope for desirable outcome. pirate_sephiroth has listed all things that affect randomness somewhere in this or some other AoS-related thread. They include attacking, making the game generate flames or dust clouds, killing enemies, etc.

Since this game has very little text when you glitch through it, you really don't have a whole lot of extra work on your plate.
What about turboing for dashing/sliding? zggzdydp: Each time you put a button on turbo, it's being pressed once every two frames. Every time you actually need to press a button, you only need to press it for one frame. Using turbo, you can't be sure if the button is pressed on the right frame each time. That means you have about 50% chance of losing a frame each time you turbo through such moments. That means the luck for later events might change considerably, too (who knows, if you had those frames you lost on turboing you could have had much better luck as well). Thankfully, it's easy to determine the right frame to press a button, because the game usually ignores the input right until that frame. So you just save a state while the input is being ignored and press the button you would have turboed otherwise. If it doesn't work as intended, load a state and press it one frame later, etc. It may become tedious with text boxes, but for movement (sliding/dashing), you only need to memorize Juste's sprite position or the amount of frames spent from another such movement (like slide, which always has fixed duration).

Brilliant work, the amount of planning involved is obvious and makes it especially suited for a star. And I always suspected that you could skip that platform cycle in stage 10, thanks for proving me right. ;)

- In certain rooms a mixture of dashing and sliding is used, my only guess is that switching into sliding was to avoid taking hits from enemies or to get past certain obtacles
Sliding is slower on slanted surfaces. Also, regarding podium: don't forget that 26 second run uses Maxim, who has about twice the movement speed.

The run is fast paced and ends before it even has a chance of becoming boring. That's a yes.

Watched this run, very good improvement. Voting yes. [EDIT] Forgot to mention: the run gets 0.59% more map coverage now (that's whole 3 rooms)! :P

Yeah, if you know how to do it and, more importantly, are willing to, then by all means, don't wait for anyone.

Even though wikipedia can be edited by anyone, it doesn't generally mean it's mostly edited by ignorant morons and other dummies. There is a lot of competent people who make good input and protect articles from bad input. Our site is also a wiki, and there are 52 editors — doesn't mean it's any less reliable the way it is.

What do you mean by that? Can you post a snippet of text that gets garbled, or a screenshot?

Or in a better browser. The one that doesn't erase the form contents if you go on another page.

Consider that you can always submit an improvement later if you want.

You do know why I kill the enemies Off-screen, right? when enemies appear, the scrolling goes slower. It may even stop scrolling if too many enemies are on screen (3 I think). So killing enemies as soon as it's possible to kill them is the biggest time saver in TASing this game.
Right. Hence, it's a sacrifice of entertainment for speed, just like in Golden Axe.

Not YouTube, but still awesome: Singing Tesla Coil. They play music with a Tesla coil. Moreover, one of the tunes is the sewer theme from SMB!

Personally I think that the movie would be better if you actually got to see some of the monsters getting crushed instead of killing them off-screen.
That I agree with, as stated somewhere close to the first page. I had similar sentiment regarding the last two Golden Axe runs which sacrificed entertainment for speed in a similar fashion. >_>
