Yea, that's happened to me before, and I have no idea where else it might be useful. It's probably triggered by the height difference shunting you to the right side of the block: I've died once when I got that particular mask, simply because I was too high up.

Yeah, it depends on the game. If I can get away with mapping the c-buttons to right-analog I will, and Z will either go on L1 (zelda) or R1 (mario). It gets harder when I need all six face buttons, though. To date I can't play a six-button fighter on the PC.

*I* liked it, but then I have the dubious honor of having actually played the game (and am of the opinion it alternates between stupid and hard). Therefore I enjoy seeing the game crushed in such a manner.

Street Fighter 2 and Mortal Kombat 2 (or pretty much any two fighting games). This would work best if the characters are actaully synchronized (as opposed to the pseudo-synchronization of most games) Two of: Flashback, Prince of Persia, Out of this World.

Topic-bumping madness! I remember seeing a run that was basically "cursed-sword trick, get your rings stolen, get ALL of them back (despite never having them in the first place), go to final boss". It was both spiffy and short. Alas, my search-fu is too weak to find it again.

In case anyone ever wants to even try, here's what I've gathered about the game so far: Randomness is semi-deterministic; in order to generate a new random outcome, the one "in queue" has to be used. Things that generate new randoms: Random encounters are rolled for every ~15 seconds of play, even if random encounters can never happen (i.e. inside a bar). Firing a gun (regardless) casting a spell (regardless of success or target), using a medkit changing areas Equivalent NPC actions Skill checks, such as asking a Johnson for a job (result varies by character) Things that do NOT generate new randoms: grenades out of battle swinging a fist at air pausing Random notes: The value of a given datafile is determined when you find it. It can be manipulated by going into the menu and back out (sometimes it generates an alert). This basically means that, unless there's a magic-user in the party a lot of ammo is going towards the "luck-manipulation" fund. Fast cash means grabbing Phantom, a nearby easily-accessed datastore (preferably one with no barriers/blackice in the way), raiding it only for good stuff, rinsing and repeating. If you're good about planning you can get by solely with upgrading Sleaze and/or Deception. Depending on how much money you want to sink making the manipulation go faster, max out Masking as well. Fast Karma means luck-manipulating a ton of Gunderson Jump House <-> Jackal's Lantern runs.

I dunno... (there's a set of 4). Offensively, sure, Mewtwo's got some good qualities, particularly in his kill moves. Defensively, well, he's big, light, and fluffy. Twice the size of Jigglypuff but half as maneuverable. But before I get into another tier list argument; how about dem bowserz?

They are ok. The Fox does not seem to be good. And the Marth is above average using some advanced tatics. I've seen better fights / players.
You realize that's Ken, right? This Ken?

Ooo, shiny and fast. I can dig it. The speed definitely helps.

Castlevania Bloodlines, using Spear Guy, getting up to level 5-3 before dying my final horrible eye-inflicted death. Highlights include the level 2 boss and most of level 4. Lowlights include just about everything else, particularly the first seven minutes of remembering how to play. Two attempts at a Whip Dude run were attempted, but failed due to me being fed up with swinging myself into a pit on the two autoscrollers on Level 2.

Zoooom. I would say more, but I feel that's an accurate summation of the run.

Having just discovered this topic today, I'm really impressed. It flows exceedingly well. Funk move, bizarre wall climbing, and some panic button put in for good measure.

Wow, this beats the snot out of my pitiful 1P run in pretty much all categories. Excellent.

Do a test run of *just* the first battle of both, and pick whichever one you like more. Battle speed is one consideration, but if luck is easier to manipulate in one, it makes the process go a lot easier.

Did you, by chance, read the thread to see why it was rejected? You make the same "mistake".

Um, I do use that shortcut. You sure you weren't watching the SDA run instead?

VICE is OSS and has recording capabilities. I'd have to play with it some more to figure out its capabilities, but it will probably need tweaking to make it as useful as our other emulators.

http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3136 You mean that one? It's still in a sort of limbo. I mean, there are only so many times you can watch Fox shine somebody until it gets old.
