This topic is for the purpose of discussing #1775: Pekopon's GB Looney Tunes in 09:44.05

I think this would make a nice run to add to our under appreciated gameboy section. The downward swimming looked somehow inoptimal, but I have no proof of this, and no suggestions on how to improve it... it just looks kinda slow. Other than that, I think you did a fine job. Since you are new to the whole TASing thing I have a few comments to hopefully help you along: First, although I didn't feel this run suffered from it as much as other games could, the amount of autoscrolling levels is rather high, which usually leads to boring to watch levels. You did a good job with the Porky level, but I think you might have been able to work with the road runner level a little bit and maybe get him to dance to the music or something. Just a thought, overall the stylistic choices were pretty good, and the Taz level only started to get extremely dull the last 30 seconds, which I would say is a pretty good accomplishment for a level as boring as that one. Second, a game this "simple" (and I mean simple in that it's for the gameboy, and probably has very little, if any RNGs or multiple boss patterns) really should be worked with until you have accomplished all levels at least as fast as your previous attempts. You say you lost some frames in the road runner stage which probably shouldn't have happened due to the simple AI. If you were able to do a level in a certain number of frames before, I almost guarantee you should be able to achieve that time again. It's not a super big deal for right now with this run, but something to keep in the front of you mind from here on out. Anyway, like I said, I liked it, and it had a surprising amount of variety for a gameboy game, which helped a lot. I give it a solid yes for a good first *third* attempt.

Thanks! Well, yeah, I was thinking I could try to run this again, but I'll wait and see what happens with this one. Wile E. Coyote does do different moves each time, so it's difficult to make it better. The Daffy stage does look a little messy, but swimming is as fast as walking underwater. If I do a new run sometime, I'll try to make that look better. The biggest problem with doing a new run would be getting the Bugs Bunny level as good as it was this time. The mini boss section was perfect if you ask me. (or Poifect as Bugs would say) The Tweety Level would probably also be hard to beat. The Taz level could probably be improved by hitting less bricks, but that's boring. Overall, I think it was pretty good. *edit* You'd be surprised at the boss patterns part. It has different boss patterns for some bosses/mini bosses (specifically Elmer Fudd and the frog guy) and there's this thing in the speedy Gonzalies level where a certain ghost's position isn't in the right spot to avoid until a certain frame in that level, resulting in me having to stop for a few frames (as I've experienced in my newest attempt I'm working on) before I can proceed. So the Speedy level can't really be improved. (Though I managed to tie it)

I really enjoyed this run :) The porky pig auto-scroller was a drag as well as the blocks in speedy's level but the rest was awesome. Good entertainment and good quality. I vote yes.

The game's just eccentric enough to be interesting, and the run is well played. I have to wonder about what to do with the Taz stage; your point about the lag from playing it normally is understood but I think with some thought a valid alternate goal can be formulated for there. Nevertheless, yes vote.

The most part was ok, I enjoyed Bugs' level. Well made tool-assisted tho. Yes vote.

Yes, the Bugs Level was the most impressive. If I were to ever make another run of this, I think this level would be the hardest to improve, or even tie time wise.

I'm not sure...... it might be worth looking into. Though I suspect that with all of the extra lag, and all of the extra waiting time at the end of the level, it would all balance out. None the less, I shall look into it. *darn it, darn it, darn it.* *EDIT* Fortunately (at least for me) even if you get all of the meat, you have to wait for time to run out. So it'd be illogical to get them all. (illogical is the nice way of saying pointless. It's a word that should be used in these situations since it's a clever disguise) But I may still end up redoing this run someday. As I look back on it, I see that the daffy stage is really messy looking swimming wise. Though it's just as fast, it sort of bugs me a bit. Too bad the video quality of the avi is so bad. It's impossible to see what's going on in Tweety.

Wow, what a terrible level. Fortunately it's only a minute long. I thought you did a good job of handling it as best as you could.

It doesn't help that Tweety's sprite is all of 10 pixels high, either...

Turns out it was only hard to see since it didn't like the full screen mode. It actually works fine.
