Same with me. It's still a nice boost of adrenaline, whatever any of you may say.

I didn't really appreciate his run, either. The only Gradius run I have really appreciated so far is Bisqwit's unfinished attempt at Gradius/Lifeforce bigame movie. On the other hand, even if someone makes an enormously aesthetic run of an autoscroller, chances are it will get rejected just because most people don't like autoscroller TASes (just because of their autoscrolling nature). It's just that Morimoto's movie has already been published here at the moment of introducing voting system, but if it would've been submitted recently, I'd also vote meh on it without a single doubt.

Hey, I can't agree with that! Morimoto's movie is something that differs from all those "aimed on fastest time", its aestetic value consists not only from tool-assistance handling, but more from player's creativity and sense of harmony.
Well, I have nothing to object. On the other hand, it doesn't guarantee the entertainment value of the run cause there's not much really enjoyable action, at least for me. Anyway, I'm not saying that Morimoto's movie particularly is boring. I, however, think Gradius itself is. Of all the sidescrollers available, it's one of the most boring and slow-paced ones (and the music gets really annoying near the end).

I especially appreciate the systematics of Morimoto's actions - it's not like he was doing everything to entertain the public, looks like he just played the game as he felt its spirit. These systematics make the movie look similar to music patterns - sometimes it's just not appropriate to show everything you can show. And like in music, there's no need to rush if whole tempo is defined at the beginning. If you decide to change the tempo, then you should preserve this mood in every action you perform, or else you'll produce cacophony - that's why this movie is hard to obsolete.
Heh, I can understand what you're talking about. Not that it helped me enjoy any of the Gradius runs, though… :)

Whoa, my memory seems really rusty. I can't remember the original Doom being this good. :D

Aren't there already tool-assisted runs from the PC version of Doom? It may be unnecessary to run the game on a version with such large hardware handicaps.
I don't remember the SNES version being severely handicapped. Remember that Doom has come out at about the time PC hadn't gaming capabilities much better than SNES.

Actually, I think Morimoto's Gradius is here mostly for historical reasons rather than to show something really meaningful (aside, maybe, being a proof of the concept — but we already have plenty of movies like that). It's more like "look, this is a mother/father/predecessor of the tool-assisted runs, made by Morimoto himself, yay!" The problem is, even if you outperform Morimoto on every account, there wouldn't be anything really worth publishing here anyway, cause Gradius itself is dead boring. But I agree that making really good Gradius movie is something many of us (including myself) wanted to do, just to obsolete the dust-covered Famtasia playthrough.

Well, I think, technically it's possible to capture the camhack output to AVI, but VBM file will show the same anyways. I'd prefer a "full" video, too.

Well, Bag makes meaningful posts quite often, they just seem to be constantly ignored.

Wait, could anyone remind me the names of those two who've planned to do this run? Oh wait, don't tell me — apparently, I'm too lazy to read your answer. I'm also against redundancy in forum topics. I'm also against redundancy in forum topics.

Uh… Just what was that? Has Mega Man run just lost his crown of being the fastest wall-zipper on the site? :D Pure excellence, Nitsuja.

Aww… Sad to hear that. :\ Either way, you are going to continue the run eventually, aren't you?

Damn you! I was planning to do this run myself. :D Still, very professionally done (especially in the waiting sequences). Easy yes vote.

Very nice Maridia video, I'm thoroughly impressed. That glass tube boost was really cool.

Well, I've found (suprisingly) enough strength to watch it… And the run's not bad at all! Voting yes.

I have another idea. IMDb has a nice feature for raising movies' rating confidence: the rating is not displayed until there are 5 or more votes on the movie; therefore, the subjectivity factor decreases. I find that a wise desision (hint). Is it possible to implement such a feature here?

The game itself is pretty nice (for a generic GBA action), and the run looks good, too. Voting yes.

Is this an any% run? Something I'd like to see sometime is a lowest% rbo run.
Since killing Ridley and escaping lower Norfair afterwards requires quite a mandatory amount of items to reach and survive the whole mess (and you won't really need anything afterwards, because within the given constraints, there's hardly anything worse than lower Norfair), the fastest RBO run would be any% and low% at the same time. Or at least similar to. Or at least I think so.

I promise this run 8/9 from me, once it gets published. It was fast and interesting, and the Atari ST style music was really appealing.

It's strange, the SNES ROM has a lot of lag and loading times (I didn't know ROMs even had loading times!) while the Genesis ROM does not.
The lag issue may occur because SNES has a lower performance CPU but more complex graphics (not sure if it's the case with this particular game, though) compared to Genesis.

Actually, that wasn't my main point. The question is: do you seriously think that beating a movie that got rejected mainly because the game itself is really uninteresting (and the run is still unwanted, mind you!) would do any good? I think not. If you don't want to continue your Rockin' Kats, you could try to improve one of currently published (and at least somewhat appreciated — say, have a rating of 6.0 and higher) movies.
