This is a 2 players movie of Altered Beast, 28.26 seconds (1696 frames) faster than Dan's 1 player version.
It abuses a programming error so that you only need to see the transformation once per level (normally, you need to see it twice on 2 players). Without this alone, a 2 player run would be about 15 seconds slower (not counting other improvements) compared to a 1 player run, because of having to see both players transform.

Bosses memory addresses (HP):

  • 00FFE365 = 1st, 4th and 5th boss
  • 00FFE3A5 = 2nd boss
  • 00FFE377 = 3rd boss

adelikat: The verdict is "accepted for publication". The movie should have used the hardest difficulty setting by using B+Start at the title screen. An improved movie that does not use this will be rejected. As a result, an "improved" movie will be longer than this submission.
Also, I am encoding this movie.

For the children that watch it, it might actually have educational value :D

Again, I never approved 2 players run beating a 1 player movie. So I don't consider it an "improvement" since it's the 1st 2 players movie.
So even though its faster than the 1p movie, you don't consider it an improvement because it uses 2p. Okay, so Sonic 3 & Knuckles wasn't an improvement either. Or Sonic 2. They both use 2p and they are much faster. In that case, can we expect you to be voting no on the next Gunstar Heroes run because it uses both hard mode and 2p?

There are not only NES games here... Btw, there are still many children that play NES games. And here, it's Genesis which is a little more modern. I don't want our children watching homosexual scenes. Maybe you are gay, it's your choice but don't contaminate others. :P Here, in Quebec, we have enough of the "La Parade de la fierté gay" at Montreal. I don't want these kind of things in TASes. Create your own site and put your gayness there but not here. :P Btw,

Sorry but you put tasvideos.org at beginning of the video like if the movie was sponsorised by this site. Raiscan: Exactly. I did that for other movies such as Contra.

Since when did TASvideos start sponsoring each movie? In that case I demand a high fee for "sponsoring" my next run, you of all people should know thats purely a disclaimer.

If by modern, you mean 1988-1990 (I should note that this is before today's kids were born), then yes the Genesis is a very modern machine.

So you're homophobic, scared for potential children viewers (you say we can't claim there aren't; likewise, I doubt there's as many children viewers as you imply), and against 2 player runs despite them legitimately beating 1 player records with the increased effort that goes into making them. Alrighty then, I learn something new everyday it seems. As for the run, I vote meh. The game was not appealing to me at all, but you made it not a waste of my time.

I've made an AVI , sadly none of the programs I have including VDUB would allow me to compress it, but it could be made into a publication worthy AVI.

DRAGONS ARE HUMPING! WILL SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!?! Bisqwit: I accept that some people will find the scenes of bears making out to be somewhat revolting. However, at what point do you draw the line for "immature" or "tasteless" scenes to be depicted in a submitted run? Would a Tales of Phantasia submission get a No vote from you because of that ferry scene where the witch girl gets drunk, passes out, and starts having a vocally sexual dream? What about the one million billion other possibilities where people will find content immature, tasteless, or downright not reflective of the general mood at this site? Where do you draw the line?

NES is older than Genesis. Btw, it's more like 1988 to 2xxx since some people still play it, children included.

Sorry to interupt... Why are you all argueing. Once again, this is a matter of opinion that has everyone pointing fingers. This is a submission as any other. It is faster than the previous movie of this game. It adds so called enterainment in a strange way. Honestly, I do not find this offensive. It just beats a game fast. But, we also accept the opinions of the site administrator.

I would think that the MKII run is way less suitable for children than some harmless, merely implied animal-fucking. I mean, in MKII you can slice a person in half, vertically (and through genetalia, I'm sure). Here all you see is bears humping. Whether it's the player's or the game's fault "explicit" content is displayed is irrelevant; it's still there. This kept my attention, so yes vote.

Funny, I was just playing this last night and wouldn't you know it... I found it to be entertaining, to say the least. The animal sex was an interesting choice of action, I didn't like it nor did I hate it. Honestly, this game now has an interesting run but at the same time I can see why others do not want it. I vote yes.

It's nothing a kid can't turn on the National Geographic channel and see. Hell last night I was watching the discovery channel and it was a show about animals that came before humans. And i'll be damned if they didn't show one mount the other in order to inpregnate it. Digital animals mind you. And I know they've shown lions having sex. So...whats the problem? For this, it's IMPLIED, that the bears are having sex. It's just 2d images placed in front of the other.

Don't interpret that as meaning 2300, last night meaning times between 1900-2100. When children are still awake

*shakes his head and Fist* Wow... just wow. Im speechless. First of all, when I was watching FODA's whole run once, I honestly did not think of sex during the waiting periods when our brazilian entertainer "wobbled". Secondly, congratulations TASVideos, you have reached rock bottom with this discussion. Oh and the word bottom was not implied as a sexist remark.

Yes, it is true, the actions are subtle and probably won't even be noticed by all watchers. I wouldn't have reacted if the author didn't explicitly indicate it was his intention for the scenes to be interpreted in a certain way. It is this intention that made me vote "no", and the consequent discussion that made me react. I don't wish it to become a fad that soon all movies have similar scenes and everyone is praising them. Because that reception is immature in my opinion.

Phil's argument is pretty weak and isn't doing anything for me but Bisqwit's is. I can see your point of view.
