I haven't watched this yet, but I have an important question. There have been several submissions of this game already: Yunshui had a run slightly longer than 6 minutes, for instance. This suggests that a no-damage run is around TWICE as long as one taking damage. Is the no-damage restriction really worth all that extra time?
Used to be a frequent submissions commenter. My new computer has had some issues running emulators, so I've been here more sporadically. Still haven't gotten around to actually TASing yet... I was going to improve Kid Dracula for GB. It seems I was beaten to it, though, with a recent awesome run by Hetfield90 and StarvinStruthers. (http://tasvideos.org/2928M.html.) Thanks to goofydylan8 for running Gargoyle's Quest 2 because I mentioned the game! (http://tasvideos.org/2001M.html) Thanks to feos and MESHUGGAH for taking up runs of Duck Tales 2 because of my old signature! Thanks also to Samsara for finishing a Treasure Master run.

xxNKxx... maybe slow down a bit. When you make your runs, make a forum thread and post WIPs. If you can get people to comment while you're making the run, it will be a better product instead of making hasty submissions.

Imho for this game "pacifist" mode can be more interesting than no-damage. Like Contra. [1926] NES Contra (Japan) "pacifist" by Soig & zyr2288 in 09:29.08
I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Current projects: NES: Tetris "fastest 999999" (improvement, with r57shell) Genesis: Adventures of Batman & Robin (with Truncated); Pocahontas; Comix Zone (improvement); Mickey Mania (improvement); RoboCop versus The Terminator (improvement); Gargoyles (with feos)

So you only worked 3 days on this project. This is the time an experienced TASer would spend on planning and research of a TAS of this lenght. And then they work at least two weaks on their run. It also takes some time until someone post an answer to the forums.

Alright, that looks fairly good. The wall glitch is pretty hilarious. I still am not sure this movie deserves a higher tier than Vault, but it looks like a pretty good solid movie. I'm giving a Meh in entertainment.

I think that given the significant differences between that run and this submission, it's probably better to make a new submission instead.

Yes, cancel this submission. Replacing submissions is generally only to be done for minor improvements of some parts, not for entirely new runs.
