The current movie of this game has pretty poor reviews, with half being no votes, yet it's been up for more than two years. I think it's time that it gets obsoleted by a damage taking, more optimized run. I might be able make the movie with other people's input... Let me know if I'm alone in my views or not?

Yeah, if you know how to do it and, more importantly, are willing to, then by all means, don't wait for anyone.

I know no one is stopping me, it was more of a question if anyone would give me a leg up on my conviction.... Anyway, the published run used the E version. I tried the U! and found the intro was several seconds longer. I don't know about the the level transitions, but they could be longer as well. Can I get an official ruling on which rom I should use?

Hm, i'd love to see a redone version of this game. However, don't rush for it unless you are able to do a proper route planning. It has been some time, that I played B.O.B. and I can't remember the Items laying on the way, pickable without time loss. So plan both, health and items several levels in advance. Don't get me wrong, I really like to see a new movie, am glad you want to do it and encourage you to achieve this. I just want to avoid the situation, that you are stuck in level XX, because you would have needed that one more spring from the 10th level before. Unfortunately I can't give you any advise, but wish you good luck! PS: I don't know the exact rom rules. But if there starts a discussion about which rom to use, count in a (U)-vote from me.

Thanks, I probably would have gone on playing with the mentality of "I'm using less remos than the other run, so I should be fine." I've started testing, and I'm about 50 frames ahead for the first level with no damage taken yet, just from jumping to start moving or change directions (thanks Nitsuja), and better timed jumps everywhere. I plan on using all of the guns about equally, and using the smaller ones for the things in my way, e.g. less tri-gun.

I haven't made any physical progress on this run, just watching the old one in FA and taking note of items in the way, as I'm still unsure on what version I should be using. I know that usually we're supposed to keep the same version when obsoleting, but there doesn't seem much reason to use the (E) version other than that. We're also supposed to try to use the (U) version wherever possible out of standard protocol. Can any of the Judges let me know what I should do?

>Can any of the Judges let me know what I should do? I'm in favor of using the U version whenever it is available. As longer as you're faster in the game segments (disregarding cutscenes) in frames, it's okay. Does the U version play faster because of 60 Hz or did the programmers take that into consideration?

I recommend that you use the (J) version - if only because of the name: "Space Funky B.O.B."

I guess I'll start work with the U version, sorry Viewer. I'll post what I can in a few days.

Just curious if there has been any progress in obsoleting the pimple on the face of TASvideos that is B.O.B.?

No, I let it go. I could use the excuse that my work was trashed when I spilled something on my laptop and had to get a new one, but I was only through one stage. It's mostly because I lost interest... College is heavy too. I might pick it up again, or I'd help someone else with WIPs if needed.
