I think you can get some more falling speed by bouncing on walls. Not verified.

Hi everyone ! I'm new on this website and after watching many runs, I'd like to realise runs on my own. So, for my first TAS, I chose "On The Ball" on SNES. So I would like to know your opinion on the beginning of this TAS, if you like it or not, if you have some advices of course, and if you think that there are mistakes in it. I'll up this topic 'til the end of this TAS. link : I didn't know how i had to upload it, so i chose to zip the .smv file and to upload it on zshare, if you think it's better in an other way, please tell me =). http://www.zshare.net/download/755646858442f03c/ PS : I'm French, so i'm really sorry if sometimes my english isn't correct. =) Friendly, Naykor.

That was a fairly good attempt. One thing though is that you can use Microstorage to store your movies rather than Megaupload. Clickie here Your TAS is a good step in the right direction! I cant really suggest anything other than Looking at this rejected movie:#937 I should also say that it is reccomended if you use the U ROM. Although I can kinda understand since that is your native zone. Good luck to you!

Yes, it is understandable that you would use the European version given where you live, but nevertheless your movie probably won't be accepted unless you use the US version. It would be a good idea to read the rules at http://tasvideos.org/Rules.html if you haven't already. Anyway, I also wish you good luck. I think it would be really nice to see an optimized TAS of this game. EDIT: it would also be a good idea to read the thread with responses to the rejected submission. There is an example in that thread with improvements to the first level over the submission.

First of all, thank you for those comments. For the (E) version of the ROM, in fact, I didn't really know what rom I should use, so I thought it wasn't a big deal if I chose the European version, but if I must take the U version there is no problem. =) I have seen the nitsuja's run for the first level, and hell yeah there is a difference ><. I think it's better if I redo all the entire run.

Nice run. MY head was a little funny throughout all the rapid movements in the world.

I am starting work on an all worlds tas of this game, which will go through all 16 courses/100 levels, and not use the glitch to skip through walls, and so far I am complete through beginner 3. Definitely planning on improving these levels(training 5 in particular feels like it can be faster). My current progress is available on http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/75448111883795937 . I am also planning on using the japanese version, Cameltry, instead of the US version, as you can press start to skip the intros after beating courses, and there is also a different final level that I am pretty sure is shorter.

have the first 39 levels done now, and also worked on improvements on some of the earlier levels. Main improvements were due to bouncing out of bricks after breaking them to regain speed more quickly. One glitch that I'm not sure if I should include is clipping through the pegs, as it's technically possible rta, but seems to work kind of similarly to the oob and is fairly inconsistent generally, aside from the special 6 clip which I am able to get most of the time in rta. I'm using it for now but may drop it depending on feedback, I'll make a youtube upload after completing 2nd plane which is 53 levels in. I do have an old upload on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iC4o7gECqY0 although it's fairly out of date. Latest movie file is available at http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/75535296223371973 .

Have the first 8 courses/53 levels done now; went back afterwards and redid a lot of the levels as I learned how to use tasstudio's button holding patterns to optimize some of the levels more efficiently. I've decided to not allow clipping through any unintended walls or pegs or such, even if its a case which is normally possible in rta, as later on doing that makes a lot of levels much shorter and not as fun.

Have completed all of the levels now!!! I still want to go back and see if there are more optimizations before submitting, however. This completes the game in 37:03, but resets after completing courses earlier than the current rta wr does, so accounting for that, this run is roughly 16 minutes faster than the all worlds rta wr so far. My userfile is available at http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/75680176956246947 . An encode is available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPFtTztV-D4 . I still need to cut out some extra frames that are in the movie file.

as an update, I am still working on this. I took a pretty long break due to computer issues, but after getting that fixed I am working on this again, and have managed to save about 3 seconds so far, and made an earlier cycle on Expert 1 on the 2nd plane.

Was able to improve a lot of the early levels quite a bit, and have submitted the TAS at https://tasvideos.org/Forum/Topics/23072 .
