Speedy TAS of 2015
I absolutely love Heisanevilgenius's Family Feud TAS, and have wanted to do one like it for a while. Turns out that Jeopardy can be abused exactly the same way. :) I've TASsed the first round, and I want get some feedback before I go any further. Link to video Some questions I have are: - Are the questions and answers readable? Do they stay on the screen long enough? - Do you find it entertaining? - There are actually three matches in the game (Quarter-Final, Semi-Final and Final). Should I TAS through all three, or just the first one? (I started with the quarter-finals because you need a password to access the latter two) Any other suggestions would be very welcome!

The questions and answers are readable atm. I found it funny. Try to do all three matches! ^^

I don't think the generic host for this game is supposed to be Trebek.

I laughed hardest at the "narration" at the beginning. The absurd answers later on are somewhat amusing, but at that point it starts to feel like a slower version of the Family Feud TAS. If you want to do all three rounds, I think you should try to do a similar "story" to better differentiate this from that run. I also think doing only one match would work best; nine straight rounds just like this one would get boring unless you came up with something extraordinarily creative. On another note, I love this game's ridiculous facial expressions. Your character just looks so smug every time he gets the answer "right."

The narration is the best part of the game. Keep that. I would recommend keeping the narration going as long as you can.
When TAS does Quake 1, SDA will declare war. The Prince doth arrive he doth please.

Wow! And here I was afraid the narration might fall flat. So, do you think all narration works, or mix it up, some narration some silly answers?

I thought this was pretty funny too, but as Supper said, the main part of the run just looks like a slower version of the Family Feud TAS. Is there another mode that you can use that still abuses the response entry system?

I just saw this... it was looking pretty awesome.
Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.

It's cute, but it loses something from the Family Feud TAS because you don't see what the real answers were.

THe answer is... your'e right, people need to see what the answer is first. Besides, regular jeopardy has no animated characters. Also, i reccomend the snes version. Survery says...a BRAND NEW CAR

I always knew Ken Jennings was just TASing Jeopardy. I wonder what he was actually saying when we heard all those right answers...

It's not quite as funny, because it doesn't show you the actual answer like the Family Feud TAS does. If you submit this, I'd include subtitles in the .fm2 to indicate what they are.
