=( I wish I could play mack vids without losing sync, I'll have to wait for the vid
Archived M2K2 Forum
Well, seeing as how I don't have the emulator loaded on my comp, mind telling what the final in-game time was? Total movie time was about 1:13, so I'm guessing it's going to beat Scarlet's 0:55. And, of course, a TAS'er wouldn't bother releasing a vid unless it shattered the console record anyway.
...
And, over 100 thousand re-records?? :? Now that's some skill right there.

Skill is measured in re-records now?
Yep. Fewer the better. Ideal would be zero, but even console runners attempt segments multiple times - so that's a kind of "re-record" depending on how you look at it.
Quote from Ryan Ferneau:
Well, if you want to know what the final time was, just watch the movie, yo.
Never mind, then. I'm not planning on watching the movie anyway, as:
(a) I'm quite happy playing SM on my SNES console. The one time I tried to play via ROM/ZSNES felt completely unnatural using a keyboard.
(b) Scarlet's 0:55 is 100x more awesome than any TAS run could ever be.
(c) Note that (b) is just my opinion, but I'm not about to change my mind anytime soon.

Yeah, well, I got into games like Apogee's old shareware series, so I think a lot of controllers feel unnatural compared to the keyboard!

No it's not! My opinion! Ha ha!
I think AngerFist made this topic to let people, who want to see it, know that it is available... and not to start a tas vs regular speedrun thread.
The amount of rerecords doesn't measure skill, since a tas and a regular speedrun aren't compairable anyway. Using as less as possible rerecords for a tas is just stupid, since a movie which is 1 frame faster and has 100 times more rerecords can be considered better. Besides; you can get your rerecord count as low as you want...

Me too, I don't know why it keeps desyncing, any special buttons I need to check off?
I used the following:
Full Screen Mode
Mode 7 Smoothing
Transparency Effects
OpenGL - Super 2xSal
Sync to Vertical Blank
Stretch Image in Full Screen Mode (Full Stretch)
32-Bit Color
Try deleting your preference file and use that. The rest I left at their defaults.

Did Sigfriedxx let the game run for ten or more seconds before playing the movie?
I didn't.
I'm not trying to start a "console vs TAS" fight again. Everyone has their opinion on the topic, which is fine with me. I prefer console runs, for reasons I've stated before, and others prefer TAS runs. Again, that's fine with me. I'm sure that, as far as TAS runs go, that this one is top-notch. They're just not my cup of tea.

The thing that was a bit annoying was that although I'm not planning on watching the movie, I would like to know (out of sheer curiosity) what the final in-game time was. I asked this, and a couple of different people basically said, "Not gonna tell you, it would ruin the surprise." Sheesh. I suppose I should have made it clear in my first post that I wasn't going to watch the movie... but too late now.
...
If someone who knows the clock time is willing to tell me, but doesn't want to spoil it for everyone else, just send me a PM.

What places were those? We need to improve them!
The oly one that sticks out in my head is going into Red Brinstar after the Brinstar cleanup. He could have done a speedballand and broken through the bomb blocks in the middle section of platform, which is definitely faster, because not only would he not lose his speed, he also would only have to go about halfway across the platform. Also, I kinda wish he had been going for best time by the game's timer instead of overall run time, although seeing an MB fight again was interesting. Speaking of MB, I have never seen anyone not waste missiles or supers on phase one. The most efficient way is 9 missiles followed by 9 supers.

You're welcome, I guess.

If the run is ever released as a downloadable movie (.avi, .mpg, etc), I'll probably give it a watch just for giggles. But, it will be useless to me, as I would have zero chance to incorporate any of these tricks into any run I could do on my SNES.
