This topic is for the purpose of discussing #4206: mamuuuut's Arcade Neo Turf Masters "maximum score" in 13:06.05

Golf TASes! \o/ I'm interested in an encode.

Can anyone or the author can verify if they can manage to get the movie to sync. It desyncs on Hole 4 where Robert Randolf misses a lot of shots on this course and the ones after. Eventually losing all his chances and going back to the attract mode for the rest of the movie.

you are running the japan bios? it don't desync here,,,

you are running the japan bios? it don't desync here,,,

Ah thanks i set it to MVS Japan Ver. 6 in the dipswitches and it syncs now.

Several holes in question: Couldn't the ball just roll in, instead of getting backspin or was it too much speed? - Through the Movie you are skipping Hole previews but at #4,8 & 12 you don't. Is this due to input lag?

Uh.....I haven't watched it yet but what does the "Tricky" branch even mean? :o

Going over water I assume and bouncing of rocks so not a branch IMO. Edit: Derp, it's actually the course. Australia - Tricky. So this basically is the "Hardest Difficulty" tag. But yea, ditch that branch in the water.

Overall seems like a decent vault choice btw author you can end the movie earlier on the last input. You don't need to input your initials if the game will do it anyways.

in certain circumstance backspin is better for get the ball inside the hole (and for entertainment) for the non skip for hole12, it is due to luck manipulation for the wind. the two other can't be skipped during speech cooljay : ok it's save

So a few questions.. Why the Japanese BIOS? Almost everything is in English anyway and it doesn't seem to save much time as it is. Why choose "The Shot Maker"? Could you not have made an equally impressive run with a sub-optimal character? I presume the difficulty levels, as configured in the BIOS, do nothing for this title? Mr. Kelly R. Flewin

A good variety of unexpected and TAS-skilled shots.

This TAS is good, I don't think branch is necessary. I'll give it a Yes Vote towards the Moons, it isn't Star quality and defiantly not a contender for the Vault. It's entertaining at it's own level is where I'm getting at.

Looks like Moon material to me.

sorry dudes but i really don't get the word "branch" ^^' ...branch of a tree lol(in french), and i take 30min to understand what "moon" is about haha, my english is very bad mr. kelly : the bios is because i prefer the japanese name for the game i choose him because he is THE man, he can drive longdistance like the brazilian, have strong variety of clubs...and the shot jauge is very friendly i think you can make it with the brazilian but i will be very hard for each second shot to get in the hole....and i think the parcours-course is "generate-drawn" for this german golfer, i mean only him (and the brazilian) can win distance contest for sure and reach uncommon place like rock or road, but unlike the brazilian he got skills on the fairway, not just power

Tu peux traduire "branch" par catégorie si ça t'aide à comprendre (bien que TASVideos a aussi des catégories en plus de la branche). Ici on parle de la branche de ton run, car les vidéos sont classées selon le but de la vidéo. Généralement c'est "finir le plus vite possible", donc ça tombe dans la catégorie par défaut. Il y a aussi "100%", "meilleur ending", "pacifiste" si le but est d'éviter au maximum d'utiliser ses armes, etc (on peut même en inventer). Un run en Vault est un run bof, mais peu de branches sont éligibles. Un run en Moon est un run intéressant à regarder, et toutes les branches sont autorisées. Un run en Star, c'est le Saint Graal, le top du top, la crème de la crème. Apparemment, le but que tu t'es fixé est incompatible avec le Vault, donc tu dois être éligible en Moon pour que ton run soit publié. _____________________ "Branch" has a meaning close to "category" (although there are Categories also on TASVideos) and means the goal of your video. Here we are talking about the branch of your TAS, as [insert content from feos's link]. A Vault run is kinda meh, only a few branches are allowed for Vault. A Moon run is an entertaining one, every branch are allowed in it. A Star run, well that's the Holy Grail, the creme de la creme. Looks like your goal is incompatible with Vault, so you have to succeed in Moon for your run to be published.

In short, a "branch" in this context means the same as "alternative category". It's alternative to the default category, which is the fastest "world record" completion of the game (and which according to recent policy is an unnamed "branch".) (Note that not every game can have a default "fastest completion" main category, if the game is such that speed completion makes no sense. In that case it's ok to have named branches only.) "Moon" is one of the three publication tiers. "Vault" is where every submission (that doesn't break site rules) of "fastest completion" and "fastest 100% completion" go regardless of quality or entertainment (unless they are deemed "moon-worthy".) "Moon" is the tier for alternative branches that are deemed good enough for publication. Also well-received "fastest completion" and "fastest 100% completion" submissions can go there. "Star" is a limited collection of representative Moon runs that showcase the art of tool-assisted speedrunning. (Every starred run doesn't necessarily have to be a top-rated run, although many of them tend to be.)

what kind of name should i give this branch?

If this is just intended as fastest completion, remove the branch name entierely.

nop, this is some show off fest completion

En quoi est-ce un but ? Je pose une pluie de questions pour t'aider à y répondre : Peut-on faire plus rapide en utilisant plus de coups ? Ou bien c'est de toute façon la façon la plus rapide ? Ou alors tu as fait plus de niveaux que nécessaires pour atteindre la fin du jeu ? Tu aurais pu atteindre les crédits plus vite en choisissant une autre coupe ? Peut-on résumer ton but en "utiliser le moins de coups possible" pour les néophytes du golf ? ________ How it is a goal? Here a lot of questions to help you redefine your goal: could you have been faster while using more hits? Your "get strikes or 2 or 3 hits under the estimate" was the fastest way anyway? Did you do more levels than required to get to the credits? another cup was faster? Could we resume your goal as "use as less hits as possible" for newbies of golf?

Spectacular. I don't usually like golf much, but I found this really entertaining. I loved every time the shot looks like it goes over the water and then bounces off a little rock to stay on the fairway. Some of the backspin is also really funny. I was amused to see that Baxter was the second-place finisher. Yes vote and a recommendation for Moons.
