This is impressive, but I gave it a no vote because I'm tired of all the one star runs. Sorry. Super Mario 64 TAS'es just need something more, y'know, new.
Edit: I just noticed someone say this run is ancient. My point is blunt now *facepalm* -.-'
Ugh, when are you gonna star thinking about how to do it without keys? (ive already been explained that its not possible, but think, guys. You're TASers. You will find a way, and I'm 0-star-ed out on watching the 0-star runs. -.- )
THIS RUN IS AWESOME I DONT KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS ARE TALKIN ABOUT SAYING ITS BAD! >:(
And dont try to give me the "but its not optimized enough" or "its a bad game choice" because you're WRONG!
Alright, when I record the verification movie again, I'll record the bosses without Squidward. then you'll see how I deal with the bosses WITH Squidward (at least the bosses I can take them into) when I make the actual run.
The only thing thats bad is that it needs to be encoded without the frame counter and etc. However, seeing as how thats NOT something the actual TASer is in charge of (its the encoders job), everything else is nice. The whole game quickly without damage? Ya, thats a yes vote on my part.
Experience. 'nuff said. ... Whaaaaat? I'm good at this game! >:/
Edit: I already know how powerful Patrick's combo attack is. I'll use it for Grouper Snot, but for Sandy, the crates are MUCH easier and quicker. And I'll be using either Sandy's combo move or Squid's jump kick on the other bosses. You'll see.
Another Edit: hey, uh just wondering, but I started watching your test run, and so far it is syncing well, but either it somehow is working while still playing very badly, or you need to optimize ALOT. Which version of the emulator are you using? ... Oh you said casual play, my bad. Then i guess i do have the right emulator. ^^' unfortunately, i can't use your run as a verification movie since you collected treasures --' darn
Wasn't there a new 0 Star TAS supposed to come around within the last months? If I remember correctly, the bowser 1 battle could be improved, just like BitFS.
Snark uploaded a few (pretty sure, it's a few) improved 0 Star TASes on his channel, in which he (and some others) massively improved BitS and also BitFS. Not 100% sure, if BitFS included the improvements found by the people from here. Neither did it include the improved Bowser Battle, which confused me the most.
So did Snark already include all the new strategies without me realizing it or is there still room for further improvement? If so, are we going to see a new run within the next time?
Just wait till you guys figure out how to do no star, no key runs. It will be going in the CerAZINESS playlist of my youtube channel. XD
For those of you who dont want to bother with the downloading of both movies at this moment: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=H4W4ctd8X9o

Coolkirby is working on his part now, and he'll update it when we make a bit more progress.
EDIT: forgot, we're using Visual Boy Advance 24-M.
ANOTHER EDIT: AW SHOOT I FORGOT THE VERIFICATION MOVIE D: well, here it is -.-' http://www.mediafire.com/?zz3o9j0e3jozpw2 just in case, wait until the credits start before you reset, I'm not sure if it'll sync or not (Coolkirby made the verification movie, maybe I should have it record a few more empty frames before we finish the run.)
Ive started a WIP of it with Coolkirby. We'll be using Dylan. i'll post a link to the input file as soon as I can, but I am unable to right now, it might have to wait a week or two, whenever my grounding stops.
Hey, this has nothing to do with the tas, but in the zero series, if I fail to get an ex skill from a boss the first time i beat it, how do i get it then? Or is it lost forever during that gamesave?
Yes, you lost it forever. This Rank system is a little harsh on newbie players of the serie to be honest.
Alright, SOMEONE MAKE A HACK OR A PATCH OR SOMETHING TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR ME TO GET WITHOUT USING CYBER ELVES BEFORE I GO CRAZY!!!!!! T.T
