This topic is for the purpose of discussing #3298: hellfire's NES Super Mario Bros. in 05:13.90

You failed to beat even the real time world record. I don't think you understand what this site is about.

Please contact me if you can think of ways I can improve. Shortest time possible All I did was went for the quickest time possible

http://tasvideos.org/1715M.html Not the quickest time possible.

I just checked the rerecord count. It's 0. Did you even use any tools for this "TAS"?

It looks like you accidentally submitted this movie three times. The duplicates have been removed. Anyway, as people have shown, this is not the quickest time possible. Even with PAL timing, we have [url link=http://tasvideos.org/2753S.html]this cancelled submission[/url], which is faster than 5 minutes. Welcome to the site, but I recommend that you do some research to see what other movies are out there. You won't usually make your best run on your first try.

om, nom, nom... blech, bitter!

Welcome to TASVideos! It's great to see a new TASer join our community. However, unfortunately your submission doesn't meet our rules and regulations. Specifically, * Fails to beat existing records.

I don't know about others, but ... I cared to watch the video, and ... not sure why you do those double jumps at the beginning of every stage, if you're not gaining any speed from them o_o do you know why the current published video of SMB do that? If you don't, perhaps this page will be useful: http://tasvideos.org/TASTutorial.html These videos brought me to a whole new level of TASing, before them, I was just a frame advancing player using save states, and now, I can really bring a game to new discoveries, new RAM data that can be used to gain more and more frames, ... Hm... did you edit the rerecord count? I think some parts of your video were rerecorded, ... there is nothing wrong about that, you can let the number of rerecord tell you how you did improvements, that's why video in this site are so perfect, they're made perfect by the authors... +D Well, good luck with your game choice, because SMB has way too much info to be studied before starting a new run, and the first one is how to raise his speed to maximum in the minimum amount of frames.... o.o I actually voted now, after watching.. there is something weird with the video speed too, is it 50hz? +_+

Yeah, the run uses PAL rom.

I have a last question .. o.o Does that trick with the end flag of levels ... loses frames? If not, that should be used on a next run (if this game is still being improved, I liked to see that Mario can get stuck on the flag block, and the castle flag appears behind him) =P

It's usually faster, but there's a frame rule involved that can cause it to be slower.
