Same here. Especially when I saw that you can inhale a bunch of enemies and shoot out a giant star. Everything about this game seems great. It's that game that was going to be released on the GameCube, but got cancelled, and years later, it's finally here!
It looks like it would make a good TAS too, especially with 4 players.
Judging by the comments, it seems to fix the savestate problem completely. That's awesome! It might completely fix the read-only savestate problem too (which would be GREAT).

I can't see how fairly you concluded that with negative votes fewer than positive ones.
Maybe he meant the people who voted No and commented felt more strongly this should be rejected than the Yes voters who commented and felt this should be published. I thought Yes/No/Meh votes didn't matter anyway.
Nothing against DarkKobold, but his response seemed overly dismissive to me. It's like he said, "I'm tired. I'm going to bed. Rejecting."

This is so true. When I work on a game and find a new glitch or shortcut, it makes me so happy, because I'm jumping boundaries that held me back playing the game in realtime. Knowing that you're pushing the game to its limits and that you hold the WORLD RECORD for this game is really exciting. This is especially true for me if I'm trying to improve a real-time speedrun (on SDA), because after every level I'm so motivated by the huge amount of frames I've saved that I keep wanting to TAS more, and to play more. Making a tool-assisted speedrun really is one of the most fun activities I can think of.

Oh, and there was a continuous war between speedrunners and TASers because they felt it was cheating (willing to bet that's still going on to a lesser extent).
Actually, now most speedrunners are very accepting of TASes and enjoy watching them. Some speedrunners even use the tricks and strategies from TASes in their own speedruns (like the SM64 speedrunners, who even thanked the TASers for their runs).
Also, welcome back!

The 3:56 was a single segment, but the 3:09 does have a lot of new stuff in it.
Yeah, I think the author said that for one of the glitches, resetting at a precise time is necessary to pull it off. A TAS could always do that, but it wouldn't need near as many segments.

Thanks for the encode, feos. This run looks great. A really big improvement over the published movie! I'm voting Yes, and awaiting the other team's improved run.
