somewhere over the 4+ years ive been watching tas from here, the consensus of what viewers want to see is the player take something really difficult and humiliate it in a visually pleasing fashion
you could do this with those extra stages but didnt
if you had, i probably wouldve gone meh to yes
as is, i vote no
edit: i just misclicked and voted yes... that was pro
so one of those yes should be a no, except i feel like it wont matter the way the voting is heading
so i guess maybe this tas should go to "takes damage to save time"
if you can save time at the villa that would be great since that part was really boring despite everything else being entertaining
yeah turns out this is unoptimized
there is quite a bit of unnecessary red jewel collecting when progress can be made in the game although he does collect when he cant progress also
there were a few other things that seemed strange to me and i have beaten the cornell path of this game three times
for example (on red jewels), he collects 10 jewels more than he needs for dracula ultimate even though these jewels are excursions from progressing forward on the walkway to dracula phase 1
if someone makes a tas that beats groobo's run i think that would push it to 80% yes even if it doesnt beat the theoretical optimal tas (and i would vote yes instead of no)
then that would allow a judge to dart in, accept, and then dart back out since in the hazy area of 70%-90% the judge gains despotic powers
and it seems the judges are all treating this like the "hot potato" from when we were kids with none of them really wanting to be the one who has to uphold either side and deal with the blowback
also i think if in a few months we see another sizeable improvement and continue to hear how we should hold off for the theoretical optimal run we will probably ignore the pleas that time around
finally, if that improvement was made by an "experienced person" that would also probably boost credibility
also sprach zarathustra
someone wrote in small text that they enjoy the currently published movie which i think triggers a similar reaction in me
i remember the currently published movie from way back when and it was really fun to watch
this previous run, like the mario 64 120 stars run, is entertaining the whole way and does not become drawn out and boring eventually unlike many runs where everyone vastly prefers a shorter version because they get bored at some point
see also: majora's mask and glover (must be something about these 3d platformer/adventure games being a blast to watch)
so i am going with "no"
also, can someone point me to an explanation as to why mupen was adapted for capturing tas? i would think there are at least a few better emulators and bugs in mupen are being blamed for the lack of current progress on an optimal run
i will vote after someone tells me if this theoretical optimal zelda ocarina of time run will ever be done or if this is just a dream perpetuated every time someone submits an improved non optimal run
According to my knowledge, this exact game does not exist for SNES. There is a SNES game called "Madou Monogatari: Hanamaru Daiyouchi Enji", but it seems like a very different game. Correct me, if I'm wrong.
i see
screenshots made it seem like a multi-platform title
The text in this run isn't so important and even though I haven't played the game it can be accurately be interpretted
"Link, get out of bed someone is causing trouble better equip yourself"
"You got a sword"
"names of places in pause screen"
"Well done Link thank you for saving the kingdom"
well he got 2 out of 4 right
though this is a pretty good game, you not big into zelda?
on the one hand, the trend recently of doing everything in japanese to save more time in a non-skillful method at the expense of entertainment is alarming
on the other hand, there is minimal text during this 3:45 of gameplay
thus, meh
oh description is nice and spiffy now
except i think a lot of what it calls "anachronisms" and other weirdness are readily explained by turok taking place in some alternate world called "the lost land" and the campaigner added the cyborgs and robots and crap to take it over but then why does anyone care because there are no people living there in turok 1?
now THAT is something to think about
although there are village huts and shelters and whatnot
i think whatever else can be explained by a trip to wikipedia and looking up the turok comic, although ive never looked it up there myself it probably exists
