In the profile section, can we change the Board Style?
There's only one option there, so… no?

Well, there are also other search options there. It all depends on the search query.

The "display results as posts" radio button is there for a reason.

Good Jaffar battle. It's nice you're still thinking of improving this game. Voting yes.

But aren't the games just being played from the ISOs, although I've played CD based emulation games on my computer with the actual games themselves and there does seem to be a slight improvement in playing speed over using a downloaded ISO.
Well, this shouldn't really happen unless your HDD was accessed for read+write cycles all the time, since usual CD reading speed is about 15-20 times slower than usual HDD reading speed.

Hi, would you please explain what is interesting about doing a "speedrun" without, um, speed? For me, that was the essence of boredom. Also, 45 second "intro" to the actual movie can be shortened to about 5, to everyone's benefit.

To those [un]interested, I've managed to complete House #10 in 12.1 seconds: • AVI; • YouTube. Can anyone make it under 12?

Despite it ending too abruptly, I like this run. It's a good show of tool-assistance in low amount of time.

What I didn't like: - camera work on "Li'l penguin lost" course and sideview cameras on Bowser stages (esp. Dark World and Fire Sea, but not the fights themselves). What I did like: - inclusion of double lavafall jump; - everything else. Waiting for a sub-15 run now. Oh, almost forgot:

Not sure how well that would go, but Metroid: Zero Mission and Metroid Fusion, maybe? I'm guessing that the linearity of the latter might work against a birun of these for some.
Won't really work because of near 1:2 run length ratio, not to mention the absense of dominant movement direction (which is right for most sidescrolling games). :\

Hmm, for the record, sound effects didn't bother me. Having the stages go by too quickly so that I could watch the transitions did. Hence, the meh. Maybe you should play around a bit more, like drawing pictures or silhouettes or something like that, while dodging the enemies? A rough time estimate shows that your in-level time would be multi[lied by about three, making a total time of the movie… about 7 minutes. Big deal. I think I'd enjoy such a movie more.

Yes, from what I understand, Ishmayl wants to make an unassisted run on an emulator.

Umm, I believe he's talking about an unassisted run.

It takes two frozen enemies in the right position to get stuck into an out cropping wall. I've done this in metroid.
There are less enemies in MII, especially near reappearing blocks… Two freezable enemies that would chase you to a wall I don't remember seeing, either. I'm not sure there is such a place anywhere in the game, but if there is, it might be worth a shot.

What about blocks that can apear around you, or can you freeze enemies?
Blocks won't work because they damage and eject Samus, but freezing enemies might do, although they will still try to eject Samus out of their hitbox.

Not quite like that.
Ok, let me present it to you in a more elaborate fashion.
comicalflop wrote:
I'm against a list of published runs listed showing the "worts" of the site. It's the principle of a 'wall of shame', not whether or not the author is or is not insulted.
You've confused the cause and the effect. Listing the lowest results isn't made to construct a wall of shame, while a wall of shame always lists the lowest result. It's a logical fallacy to think that listing should lead to or is made for constructing a wall of shame.
comicalflop wrote:
A wall of shame is made to make fun of and insult people that are on it.
In continuation of your fallacy, you give the statistics page a certain negative connotation and immediately attack it, therefore implying a certain "normal" (=expected) way of behavior that would occur, while it most likely wouldn't if you didn't bring it up.
comicalflop wrote:
By creating such a list, we are publicly saying "here's a list of TASes that the audience rates as sucks."
Again, bringing up your own connotations, thereby doing the opposite of what you've wanted — you're insulting the runs and covering it with public.
comicalflop wrote:
I'd believe the overall aims of the site to not stoop to such childish displays of "let's display, point and laugh at these bad movies!"
Another implied pattern of behavior. While no-one did what you described, you were the one to bring it up as if it's a phenomenon observable here. While analyzing the mistakes and trying to improve the content would be mature, what you just did was an example of what was childish.
comicalflop wrote:
I'm not against rejecting submissions. I have one of those myself.
On a bit unrelated note, but let's debunk this as well. I'm not sure how bringing up the fact that you have a rejected submission helps proving you're not against rejecting. Or did you want to say you were agreed with rejecting it? I don't remember it to be so.

Man, you can't be serious. Your argument goes like this: "you are selling knives — knives are used to kill people — you're selling means to kill people; I thought you weren't supposed to".

"worst rated movies" page showing who has the statistically poorest TASes to me sounds like a wall of shame.
You wouldn't perceive it as offending if the authorship didn't concern you that much. It's not the author who is rated, it's the run. If its author can't accept the rating, then it's his fault. People rate the runs, anyway, statistics are here to gather and arrange the results.
comicalflop wrote:
The only thing destructive here is downplaying TASes that may be sloppy and not widely liked by the audience, but which the authors did put time and effort into.
I fail to see how statistics can downplay anything.
comicalflop wrote:
this addition is insulting to the efforts of the TASers who have their work displayed as "Failure" for having low technical/entertainment quality.
No-one promised to like anything, I thought Guidelines had it covered pretty well. I like how Tub has put it above.

Oh great, a 'wall of shame', just what we need.
This attitude is destructive. The statistics are there to build a better site, to fill it with better content, and what are you doing, calling it a wall of shame? Awesome.
