Welcome to FractalFusion's homepage.
About FractalFusion
I discovered the site back in April, 2005 after I found and watched sleepz’s TAS of Super Mario 2 on archive.org. I signed up to the forum on June 15, 2005 (June 16 by GMT+2 time), interested in helping others with TASes. My interest in TASing began when I found a few glitches in Mega Man X2, most notably this trick which beats Wheel Gator quickly.
My first published run was Mega Man X2 in 32:23, on October 1, 2005. The submission is also notable because it was the one thing that started my now permanent transition to the username "FractalFusion" (I was previously known as "82-35-43"). Since the first publication, I TASed many other games, mostly Mega Man games.
I became a Wiki editor on February 10, 2006 (Feb. 11 by GMT+2).
Most recently, I became a judge on April 5, 2010. The main motivation was to clear the queue of April Fools submissions that were still there.
TAS Interests
I prefer to TAS Mega Man games because of the variety of weapons that the player can use. Bonus points if the game has a grappling hook or a platform maker.
I may also like to TAS some RPGs, randomized strategy games, games with fast actions, and games which are related to my favorites.

Site encodes
I'm not a site encoder, although I have some encodes on the site. I mostly encode out of temporary interest. Movies that I make myself have the highest priority.
