I'm so glad to see this finally on the workbench! After messing around with this for a while in real time I'm glad to see TASers tackle this. It was a thing of beauty and a definite yes vote from me! I'm sure some will challenge the entertainment value of this run but I think the variety and hilarity in the glitchiness is enough to keep people interested. Good job!
This is what TASvideos is all about. Incredibly fast gameplay and awesome glitches. The uniqueness of the game is just the icing on the cake. I think this is a good representation of what newcomers should watch to get a grasp of what is possible in a tool assisted speedrun. Great job Samsara! A great improvement and an extremely easy yes vote!
It was an interesting concept that was kind of entertaining and then you took a warp zone. meh.
I ended up in this camp as well. Most of the movie is a highly technical and stylistically varied playthrough that is probably as entertaining as an SMB run can get, showcasing basically every trick in the book. But the loops... Honestly, I think they have no place in this category. You take every coin there is anyway, no point repeating the same stuff over and over just to make some arbitrary counter (that resets at 100 anyway!) go up.
If it is at all possible, I would kindly ask the authors to submit a version without loops instead. I don't believe anybody would miss them.
Voting meh so far.
This, except I think I will abstain from voting for the time being until a change is made.
Awesome display of platforming, enemy despawning and skipping. Gotta love how mode 7 makes the Death Star look like it is made out of legos. Yes vote! Can't wait for ESB!
I had a lot of fun watching you demolish this game! I'm just curious what advantages Haggar will bring to the run besides greater damage? Does he have his own set of glitches?
This site has been a daily ritual for me since 2005 and it baffles me how people keep discovering new ways to destroy games! Congrats to all involved! Yes vote!
It's too bad Camilla doesn't get close enough to the ground to do a one hit kill with the holy water (i'm guessing this is a requirement for the glitch to work as I have not found any really detailed information on how it works. There is a post in one of the threads here in which someone said one of the requirements was where the holy water hits the ground). It would be awesome to find a way to one hit kill with one of the daggers/knives or possibly the holy flame (i don't think it would be too far out of your way). I enjoyed watching your WIPs and wish things would've worked out better for you.
I am not 100% on the validity of this video (i am always a little suspicious when people disable comments on their videos) and for all I know this has been seen by many since it was published over 8 months ago. According to the author this works on the US version only when you use the stair glitch on Blk 4-01. If it is indeed valid it could be a ridiculous timesaver when optimized.

This run flat out cracked me up! You absolutely fly through the levels using glitches/zips and completely annihilate all mini and regular bosses (except for the final boss but I have no problem with you using the fastest possible end input). You would think SNK would have actually hired a real voice actor and polished up their translations of the cutscenes considering this was a pack-in game for the Neo Geo. I am glad they didn't though. I nearly shat my pants every time the main bad guy had something to say. Great game choice! Yes vote!
Definite yes vote! I am probably biased because I like Zelda II but I was thoroughly entertained for the whole run. Its always fun watching runs take the unintended route. Unfortunately now I am having nightmares of Mayor McCheese but otherwise great job!
Voted No. I would much rather watch a playaround style video that shows off insane combos and glitches. There just isn't enough variety for me to hold my interest.
Hey Randil, I was just curious why you didn't kill any of the reapettes in 1-1? It looked like some flew into your path of travel so it wouldn't waste time to kill them. Is the lag the same no matter how many are on screen at one time?
