I never said I know nothing about 2D TASing, and if I did, it was blatant sarcasm to prove a point that I am not clueless about 2D stuff.
Then you don't have enough experience to fully understand it's complexity.
Watch out guys, he managed to get inside my thoughts and knows what I know about 2D TASing! Even I want this BS split now.

Wait, is that actually true? Holy hell, it kinda sounded like a joke but if that's true then that's actually some bullshit worth dragging out for 3 pages and over 2 hours!
lol so if someone else holds out money, it's the end of the world. but mindnomad doing the same thing with zero involvement means nothing to you (had it been true). hahaha, this is for sure my last post mentioning Samsara

I never said that. I asked how 3D optimizations are harder than 2D optimizations. You kept disagreeing with it, you assumed 2D TASing is easy. I have some 3D TASing experience and understand the concepts of 3D optimizations. Both of them require different knowlegde. I'd say that both are hard, just on different perspectives.

a bigger lol. I see you have no idea what you're talking about (case of Dunning-Kruger-Effect). Just because the game is simple when played normally doesn't mean it simple when TASing.
And 2D tasing is easy in comparison. it isn't easy to make any optimized movie 2d or 3d, but to say 2d compares is a joke imo.

Well yeah, when the person writing books for posts taking up a whole thread that aren't true and completely dramatized, then tells me to not reply admits hes straight up trolling (as if it wasn't obvious), flaming is probably gonna have taken place.

I was talking about going in a straight line in a 3D room.
I know I'd definitely use the most simple example that doesn't even happen in a TAS of good quality. Edit for your edit:
TASeditor wrote:
With analog inputs you would go from right to less right to even more less right and so on, when you want to optimize a 2D position. With only 2 buttons it can look like this right-nothing-left-right-right-right-nothing-left, to get a optimal position.
more things that should be entirely obvious to anyone with tasing experience...thanks for trying to teach me l0l and fyi, that happens in sm64 side bljs where a coordinates won't work and you have to go way back to reset your position. people need to stop saying so much false crap in these threads..

as long as you have memory watch, you can TAS any 3d game and optimize it well
See any difference? I just want to say, although SM64 might be an hard game to TAS, I'm saying back that it took 7 years to get awesome TAS. :P Oh, and also, If I was hesitating posting my Rayman 3 TAS, I've found improvement. So yeah, do it yourself, beat my TAS, I'm pretty sure if you'll do it, I'll come back and improve it more, there's actually no problem about this, I'm pretty sure you won't do it, as I know you're just saying this as an argue :D, everyone has its own TAS game skills. Also, back to subject (if only :( ), I have to watch SMG2 TAS, I've seen one star it looks awesome O_o
it only took 7 years for sm64 because rikku and swordlesslink were lazy tasers with 2d tasing mentality. once you optimize 3d, you never go back, and that's why SMG2 is the way that it is: because people like myself, silentslayers, and snark have pushed its 1996 counterpart to its limits. making a sm64 2006 type tas on smg2 in 2014 would be appalling after the standards set in sm64. if all the legendary sm64 tasers randomly died off, smg2 would be looking like sm64 did back in the day, hands down. want another example? SA2B, Dennis and Rene basically made non tas runs with savestates calling them tases. now itspersonnal, tales, and myself have made it look borderline insane

lol. How's angle and speed optimization with analog inputs harder than things like subpixel optimization, which you probaply never heard? Old consoles don't have analog input with 65k possibilities, which makes deciding optimal inputs more complex.
LOL. That's the dumbest post I've read on this entire site. Congrats, that's a HUUUUUUGE accomplishment.
a bigger lol. I see you have no idea what you're talking about (case of Dunning-Kruger-Effect). Just because the game is simple when played normally doesn't mean it simple when TASing. I don't even know how I should describe it to you ... . Or why do you think NES TASes aren't finished in one day, damn, look at MESHUGGAH for example. When doing subpixel optimizations you don't just rewind one frame and change one input for some angle or whatever, you go back up to 10+ frames and test a shitload of possibilities with 2 (Sometimes with other buttons) directional buttons, it get's even harder with cycling speed. You can't predict the subpixel value after these 10 frames according to the inputs you make, for 3D angle optimizations you can make a prediction according to your inputs.
go tie 1 sm64 wr that isn't under 10 seconds (or even one of those) and tell me 3d isn't 100000000x more complex. this shouldnt even be an argument. optimizing in 3d is obviously more difficult and time consuming. 4 directions vs a range of 128 to -128 in both directions. please. stahp. as long as you have memory watch, you can TAS any 2d game and optimize it well. that simply isn't true with 3d. and i do know what im talking about. i have been tasing 5 years, you think i haven't spent time messing with gba snes and nes? just because you don't agree with my opinion (which tbh, is more fact than opinion) doesn't mean i know nothing about the situation also, it seems you don't know what YOU'RE talking about. because "for 3D angle optimizations you can make a prediction according to your inputs" isn't true at all. try optimizing a wall kick dive in sm64 for example. it isn't the "max angle" that's the best the whole time. just like in SMB1 how you don't just hold >.....but i didn't know that because i know nothing about tasing 2d games!

You literally could have ended this entire thing with "Sorry, I overreacted." That's all it would've taken. Anyone who continues to call you out after that can safely be ignored as they are clearly intentionally starting shit.

No. It's your overreaction and bitching attitude which cannot be taken seriously. You're overdoing this too much and trying to play the victim card yet again.
So because something wasn't noticed before it should stay that way? You probably think weed should still be illegal too, rofl. Doing something wrong more than once doesn't make it right. And good, that attitude isn't about to stop while having to defend myself over nothing. For your edits, this would have been over yesterday if you guys would quit flaming me for nothing. "victim card yet again" just like with our little debacle awhile back, I'm not playing victim. I've only stated facts and explained my reasoning behind why I questioned mindnomad. I am however a victim from all the "you are an asshole" crap that isn't true. I'm going to act like an asshole if people act like one towards me. Deal with it.

I have never seen anyone give him permission to upload those, and if he was given it, the Japanese person in question would have had no idea of the other implications; just that it was "being put on YouTube for people to see." "shouldn't matter if you profit off it" lol.....I can't even take you guys seriously.

Okay, I'll make sure to download the most popular TASes people have made on this site and go ahead and upload them (aside from the fact I already took part in multiple ones). Then we'll see what people think of stealing videos to promote with after that. I'm coming off how I am because I was treated badly first. So that's fine with me, since my goal is currently to come off as an asshole. Edit: Unrelated to the above dramatization: I have mentioned an alternate channel, but even making the WIPs unlisted as their current upload shows SOME class.

You "in your own perspective" white knights are hilarious. You yourself said all you can resort to is insults. My opinion isn't a bad one, and I guess that makes SoulCal an asshole too? That's funny considering I think it's the asshole stealing other peoples' content and hard work. I already said I'm fine with it being uploaded in a way that doesn't promote his (mindnomad) own channel. And I also made it known that the whole section you quoted was only said because of how you fuckheads keep pointlessly drilling me.

Okay, all you offended 12 year olds can quit whining. I literally did nothing but be direct about a question. I didn't take 6 years to answer properly like mindnomad (or flame anyone). The intention of the information I was asking for was more than clear regardless of little semantics that narrow minded people on this site cling to so they can "be right."

Can you stop following me everywhere? I don't like you or your dumb posts towards me lately (both situations having nothing to do with you). And your first post this time is basically spam and doesn't even provide an opinion of the argument at hand. You guys are just being assholes for me potentially calling someone out. And I could go on and on about how wrong you are with revenue, but people here don't read explanations after getting an idea in their head. Guess I'll try anyway.

It is criminal. Don't pretend it's not. I don't even agree with his uploading of the clips at all on YouTube, though I'm not his boss or mom or whatever. I'm not going to tell him not to. But seeing ads on a known partner channel on something they had no involvement in is infuriating (had he truly been profiting), and as I've said, it's happened to myself over the years. It would be much better to make a new account to exclusively upload stuff like that. Because even without money from that video, he gains viewers and potential subscribers that he doesn't deserve. If he wants 3D Mario followers, he shouldn't have chosen the game that only goes left to right. That's my opinion on it being reuploaded at all, though it wouldn't even be in a post had you just stayed out of it like any good lurker. *cough* TASEditor *cough*

actually anywhere near substantial
Your ignorance is massive. I got almost $2.5k from my Dwight Howard video going viral last February with nearly 2 million views. That's only 1 example. My partnership is literally helping me with bills and basically paying my rent. I have gotten over 400,000 views/month for 3 months now (after working my ass off with SMG2 and bro strats), and each of those months, I've gotten/am getting over $400 (because of holidays having higher ad buys than other seasons). That's just me recently. When MKDasher first became a partner in 2012 (before me), his views were ridiculous at the time and was making equal to US minimum wage for MONTHS due to massive views from his SM64DS TAS. In case that doesn't register right in your brain, he was making about $850 - $900 a month for uploading next to no content. Other note: People don't understand that you don't only get paid out for certain videos if you are a true partner. Your views accumulate over time on ALL monetized videos, and all the cents ad up. So what, one of my videos has only 300 views over 2 months; It still contributed to the overall total, which like I said, has led to over $400 3 times (with December looking even better than the previous 2). I guess the last 3 months isn't a fair sample size, so here's another stat: Since becoming a partner in September 2012, I've brought in less than $200/month a total of ONE time (never have had under 220k views for a pay period).

I just don't see what monetizing and ad revenue have to do with TASing
As if it's not obvious in my last paragraph, it clearly has to do with TASing, along with everything else in the universe that can be uploaded to YouTube. There isn't some rule vlogger ads are better, lmao. Before someone tries to pull anymore crap: And even then, at least I am an author in the video.

This is completely serious: Who would enter a TAS competition run by me for this game? I'm thinking 7 tasks, come 2015, in the vein of the old SM64.org comps. I have zero interest if there will be low turnouts in terms of participants. Do not say you're interested if you don't plan on submitting, say, at least 5 out of 7 tasks. Every recent competition has a strong task 1, then a huge drop off for the 2nd. I want none of that this time around. This is the best comparison for what I want: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL13EA1448B8B022C2

It matched third party content, there was no content id claim because nobody else has the video on youtube, smartass.
It is all the same. Yes, a strike is usually from a video that gets removed, but in essence (and when talking to networks), it means THE SAME THING. If they appear here, that's all you had to say: https://www.youtube.com/my_videos_copyright Now stop publicly insulting me for doing nothing wrong. It's against the rules anyway (and trust me, if it wasn't I'd be fucking ripping on you for acting like a douche about uploading others work).

Did you even read my previous post? I can't reply to what you said since I basically just did. You answered wrong. Had you said there was a content ID claim (ie a strike), this would have been over many posts ago. And this had nothing to do with my ego, I have had people try and profit from my work and it's fucking frustrating. I was going to call you on it if it was taking place (not that it was my work this time). Period. And I'm too tall to get my head anywhere near my ass. Get a new insult if you're gonna start flaming me for asking you a question.

I can't make a profit out of it because I can't enable ads on the video due to Google detecting third-party content on the videos anyway. I had never intended to put ads there and the reason there are anyway is because there's third-party content in the video. This has always been a thing on YouTube. Get your head out of your ass.
No need to be a dick for your own fault not replying properly

I have no copyright strikes
If you have no strikes or content ID matches, then you're making money off the videos from what I can see. Feel free to go to your "creator studio" on YouTube, then to Analytics. Search in the little bar for those video parts, and if the estimated earnings is anything BUT $0.00, you're profiting.
Only reason I persisted after that was because you said you had none. Strike is synonymous with content ID match when talking about channel status. I'm completely aware that Google puts an ad for the third party (Nintendo in this case), and had you said that from the beginning, there would have been no more questions or accusations. Cya! ^^

Dude, you need to calm down. Youtube is designed to display ads first, ask questions next. Moreover, wips aren't watched by a lot of people, even if you track and upload every japanese wips on youtube that would be a poor use of your time.
Calm down because I'm sooo hyper.. YouTube has never just put ads on videos (that has literally NEVER been a thing and I have no clue where you got that idea), and as a partner, I can remove mine. I noticed mindnomad didn't reply after I pointed out how to view profit. If he can confirm he's making $0.00, I personally apologize for being "out of line" (lol you guys on this site...). If not, I stand by everything I said. And Zarma, all it takes is a single clip to be shared by a single decent blog to make a little extra cash. $50 for 10 mins of work reuploading stuff? I'm sure plenty others would like to make [theoretically] $300/hr, so you call it a poor use if you want. Edit: Protip to avoid all this crap: Make a channel that isn't your personal one (that you obviously treat as a business with views and subscribers) for uploading things like these WIPs that are supposedly a "public service."

Then you might want to check your account for copyright strikes.
