Im working on the verification movie again. Should be easier now that i found out its better to not have the dpad configured to the arrow keys :P also, im tasing some parts of it that will be almost EXACTLY the same in my real run (the places i dont use squidward), and also to see if it could help with the frame limit problem. So when im done with the movie, i can just stick those parts in my run, make any necessesary edits, work on the rest. Also, i checked out the submit Movie page, and in the game select, there was no atlantis squarepantis. How will i mark that when the time comes?

Are you saying the run lost sync at that frame? Just continue recording from the frame it desynced on so you can finish your verification movie without having to restart.
No it didnt lose sync it said finished a stopped recording after 144960 frames. AND I WAS ON THE LEVEL RIGHT BEFORE ATLANTIS! I honestly would prefer a desync over this the movie recording frame counter was there but beside it said finished and the total frame count was ... Ok, you know the frame count, ive said it already It was my verification movie too, i cant start the real tas till its done :(

Hey, i want to work on my other tas for a while. Im holding off my part of the kssu until im done with the one i started first, by myself. Dont worry, ill continue the kssu run when im done, but i want to see if I can earn the rookie of the year award possibly. And since it has to be for the first publication, i want to finish first. Btw i dont expect to win the award, but worth a try

http://www.mediafire.com/?7i1gizcdyrlr23f My work in progress. ignore Dyna Blade and gourmet race and spring breeze (unless you notice a part I did faster that will actually benefit, I think that might be the case for Krcko jr, BTW) and just look at Great Cave Offensive. THATS WHEN I GOT SERIOUS! eh heh, fun fact about spring breeze, meta knightmare ultra, and revenge of the king and meta knight, apparently by pressing left or right on the continue button, you could go to a certain level without having to pass the whole thing again in new game. that wouldve been good to know when i had beaten the game 100% before I lost it on my real ds -.-

I was going to give you credit for those. I thought I explained that supermillion times? anyways, I can't get your runs cause the links dont work for me, unfortunatley. how am I gonna get them? and i said my own runs are gonna be for my youtube account, having nothing to do with the submission (im long overdue on making a kssu video -.-) you probably read wrong, it said for the runs of the levels that I did but you already had done, Ill post MY runs. sorry if i wasnt clear enough heres one of the parts from my run, AN ABSOLUTELY PERFECT RUN OF DYNA BLADE! (which is for my own purposes, unless you want it to be in the run.) youll have to wait for it to be done processing though ... -.-' http://youtu.be/WjwG-bHmCm4

Hey, just so you know, i didnt put AS much effort into perfecting spring breeze, gourmet race, and dyna blade (i did somewhat superhuman skill-it, but we'll be using your runs, so not instant perfetcion), but now im at great cave offensive, and im taking extra precaution to male sure i can perfect it as much as i can. Like i said, the other three runs of those three subgame ill upload to youtube for my own business. ... Well i definetly think style will be popular for those youtube runs :)

Anyways, for my runs of the levels that you guys did, ill just post em to youtube on my account for my own purposes, not for the submission. The levels i do that you guys didnt, ill put in the submission. The levels you guys do, ill put in the submission too, of course. I got tired of editing the same post so many times in under an hour -.-'

Hey ive already started the tas and ive passed spring breeze, gourment race and half of dyna blade. Im passing the game myself so its easier to copy/paste edit later, since we'll have the whole thing, and you're play will also be included (speaking of which, you need to provide me with movies of your best run on spring breeze, gourmet race, dyna blade [not 100%], and meta knight mare ultra so i can put em in later. Also, could you ask waddledx to send his movie file for helper to hero using burning leo? I think his runs would make him a good co author for the project, too :) ) ill do the metaknightmare ultra (minus springbreeze), revenge of the king, milky way wishes, revenge of meta knight, arena, and true arena, but could you find someone to do great cave offensive? If not, ill do that too (i think ill be doing the most work in this -.-), but itll be great if you or someone else can find someone for the job.
A couple things - If you play through the game yourself now, why do you need my input files? - If you play through the game that fast that it didn't even take you a day, that makes me think the gameplay quality is really bad. You may want to show a video or input file of your progress - My latest movie file is on the previous page as said - What category are you even doing if you want any% Dynablade? - Helper to hero isn't fastest done with Burning leo, but with stone http://nicoplayer.blog60.fc2.com/?id=sm7896735&w=640&h=480
it's cause the hurricane got me/my electricity/home/state/livelihood.
What the hell D: Best of luck that doesn't happen, then
Im playing through myself but your runs are faster so i want to add them and, combined with my runs of the levels you didnt do, it'll be a super fast run. Im only passing it myself so that its easier to edit later on (also ... I just feel like playing through the game again myself in the process. Its one of my favorite games) does that make sense? I need your runs cause itll be faster, and this WAS your idea, so you should be recognized as a member of the project (i just like giving everyone who contributes credit, even if its small). Also, i wont beat the game THAT fast, especially while tasing. Also, when i ask you to provide the movie, i mean please find another file upload service and send me the link cause these links dont work STONE IS FASTER!? ... Uhhhhhh, how do i watch that run? Wait, best of luck doesnt happen? Oh sorry didnt notice that, so you dont have the runs? On your computer anyways? Ill check the previous page ... ... Oh vanillacoke said that --' i really gotta get a habit of reading the whole thing before i post ... Sorry ...

No, that's not efficient TASing. What you should do instead is grab my WIP and Lua script from the previous forum page and use said lua script when TASing. To get speed addresses working, slide leftward , pause the game midslide and click on the square. Then just continue TASing on the WIP for yourself, or wait for Vanillacoke (who pmed me) to give word on whether he will try / has tried to fix the dsm or not. Or TAS single modes. As for me, I'm not going to TAS this game anytime soon. I'm on Mario + Luigi.
Alright but since you contributed you'll still be a co author, k?

So jlun2, hows your run goin?
Got stuck trying to figure out how to get the NPC Patrick to stop being dumb cooperate, so I decided to finish off this TAS which is almost done.
|:/ ... Nice ... blame the star, *starts acting sarcastic* its not like you have TOOLS to fix that! *shocked face* Just teasin Btw against the clock work guardian, sandys combo move is the most effective. (i could use that in conjunction with squidwards kick attack for super fast boss defeat >:) ) ... Oh, im sorry, did you say something?

Well, you should probably face robo patrick at least before you face spongebot steelpants, because then you can beat spongebot super fast with the cruise bubble and be able to pass the part with the brain holes much more easily. You can skip it if you know how to get enough spatulas to get into the chum bucket, but then you should probably face robo pat so that its easier. Just a thought.
Unless if the brain holes are really that slow, than it's probably faster to glitch to them rather than fight robo-patrick. In fact, for the first part of the battle, glitching it is much faster. First part. Second part. All done without cruise bubble. Edit: Do you know of any glitches/timesavers? The only one I found is the "beat robo-spongebob early" glitch. :P
Sorry i had this game once but i accidently saved a new game over my ALMOST COMPLETED FILE |:'( i didnt find any glitches or timesavers, at least not that i can remember (from my gameplay, anyways. I know afew timesavers from the forums and videos, but youve most likely seen em)

Things I noticed from playing on the emulator in frame advance, the jump/flick thing that you can do, you can do it in the air as long as you send Kirby into a wall first.
You actually dont need to hit a wall, but it might be faster anyway so that kirby's status can reset to where you can jump again instantly rather than having to wait. Also, its faster in the beginning where it teaches you how to carry kirby's to instead flick the one kirby you have twice; once on the ground, then again in the air. Also, get the rainbow medals the first time you get through levels (unless you need to go through the other path in split path levels first) seeing as how they're required to beat the game (not just with a good ending, but at all)

So jlun2, hows your run goin? Hey, im gonna help someone else with their kssu run. Since you're working on atlantis squarepantis normally, when your done can i use that as my verification movie so i can actually start on the real run with squidward? Me working on helping vanillacoke to finish his kssu tas will give you time to finish your run. Well?

Skip Robot Patrick! This one is great! This should definitely save time since there are many faster spatulas in the game and that battle takes a long time.

It will not work because they are two different games. Different lag behavior, different physics, different hitboxes, different everything

I mean you could copy parts by having both emulators open, snes playing the movie, desmume recording, and you could copy button inputs frame for frame, unless you find a faster way, and make sure the snes run wasnt using the 2p wheel trick at the part you want to use.
If that works, wouldn't it be the same as editing the input file?
Not exactly, since the ds version actually changed the button commands (x summons the helper in ds but serves different purpose is snes). So maybe it is, but it'd be better to copy frame for frame so that you dont accidently end up with kirby messing up over and over again :P

No, two different games Also, I haven't looked into editing my movie file yet, maybe I never will. I'm not interested in TASing this game anymore, the emulator gets outdated more and more as newer versions come out, the hard-resets make it an illegitimate TAS and I have doubts I can make it sync with soft resets (I or someone else* should try it sometime though). ___ *PM me if you want to try

Heres afew tips from an experienced sonic rush player :) when in altitude limit 1, jump off the rail before you hit the speed boost to save time. You can also go over the loop this way. Its possible as sonic, but super easy as blaze. (if you jump at the right time, youll land on the rail behind the booster then imediately jump off the END of the rail allowing you to perform tricks, making it easier to do this, as well as saving time). Also in act 2, the needles on the rails in the beginning actually dont harm you if you boost and (the best part, possibly) they even give you boost energy, so you dont need to jump until you have to jump to another rail :) these are from real time, btw. Also, I was the original founder of the backwards jump dash (im sure youve seen it somewhere, like in my sonic rush boss run or that sonic colors tas), and its good for the entertainment factor during bosses. I can post more if you want. I really wanna see this. Also, if you could do them all AND the last story in One run, thatd be great :) but you cant skip the credits in the characters stories the first time ... Oh right! Soft reset, of course! So yeah :) Hey i remembered another trick. During the sonic vs blaze fight, there is a way to trap the boss in the right corner and keep jumping so that they will take damage when they arent invincible, cancelling out the bosses ai until the final hit (or when you stop jumping). So far as i remember, ive only done this glitch as sonic against blaze (though it may be possible the other way around), and im a actually not so sure how to do it -.- but it is the fastest way to defeat them till the final hit. Sorry, i wish i could tell you how, but thats the only helpful glitch ive found that i dont know HOW to perform. Its probably random as long as they are in the far right corner

Maybe you could reconfigure some kirby superstar snes movie files to work for this (i.e. the parts that aren't wheel abused since you cant emulate 2 player ds gameplay yet)

Just in case you didn't know, if you were ever to TAS any Snes game, don't use ZNES. It's deprecated here.
I know, i read. I basically just got that since i already knew how to use it and ill mainly only use it just for play. Not tas. Also, YAY! I finally have megaman the power battle! *ahem* so anyways, ive made it to the volcano now on atlantis squarepantis, but im gonna hold of for a bit. Dont worry, i wont completely forget the project or anything Eh heh, actually i am optimizing it a bit, but not for speedrunning, just to get rid of ... Embarrassing moments. :P hey, a guy needs to protect his reputation for being a master at the game, and the emulator lag plus the error of not mapping controls sometimes, makes it difficult. Also, i can also get the hang of the tools this way. But its mainly to get rid of the ... 'bloopers' |:|
