This is a glitchfest run, meant to show off how you can abuse the word recognition program.
I used Snes9x v1.43+ v9.
  • Is a demonstration
  • Exploits glitches
  • Manipulates Luck
WARNING: THIS TAS CONTAINS COARSE LANGUAGE
The first bit of luck manipulation was to force the game to pick the shortest family name for my opponent. "Hall" is the shortest name, which means less time was used during the name-typing process. The fact that they appear as the most dumbfounded and shocked family when you beat them is an unintentional and hilarious side-effect.
Each round, luck was manipulated to ensure there were as many answers as possible, to abuse word recognition as often as possible. Round 1 has twelve answers, round 2 and 3 each have six.
While answers were carefully chosen to be as ridiculous and elaborate as possible and still count as correct, all other factors were chosen with speed in mind. The bullseye round is skipped and all answers are typed as fast as possible.

adelikat: Hilarious. Gladly accepting for publication.

Samsara: The publication file has been replaced with a resynced version on BizHawk 2.8, courtesy of DrD2k9. This was done primarily to replace one piece of outdated language used in the original run, but also has the added benefit of more accurate sound emulation.

This run proves that an hilarious run can come from the most unexpected games. Loved the faces from the Hall Family and hoped you had more time on the last phase to read the questions. Yai!

Hah. I know it's cheesy. I had to use the C in "cya" because there's a C in telescope.

This has to be the most lol-worthy TAS I've ever seen. A few points taken off for the last round's speed, but still, a slight blemish on an excellent giant iron dildo. 9.4/abstained.

Definitely, TASVideos needs more TASes like this. Thank you so much!

I gave this a 10 in entertainment. I never thought this game would/could be TASed.

My standard reply to movies like this:
what is this i don't even
10 for entertainment, 9 for technical. Cursor movement looked very well optimized.

Certain parts get more interesting if you watch in something like media player classic and slow it down to 1/4 speed. The cursor movement is indeed optimal. I actually did miss the fun of the bonus round the first time I watched. I now realize the fun irony in the first half of it that 5 totally plausible and/or true answers all scored 0.

Yeah, maybe this movie should be redone so that the input is not as fast in the bonus round. It's a bit unnecesary in this kind of run, and it would be more watchable. : /

I'm open to that. What does everyone think? Should I quickly redo the last round to create something more easily readable?

Ok, this more than made up for how boring SOTN was. Good job, you are an evil genius. :)

I noticed a slight error on the description. It said that the Halls get a chance to answer in the last round, which is incorrect. You have two family members who can participate in the fast question round. Between the two family members you need to get 200 points. For the first member, I picked answers that sounded correct but aren't on the list, getting zero points. For the second, I picked ridiculous answers, got all the number one answers and got all 200 points with the one person alone.
