Donkey Kong 3 by sergio89 TAS
I have improved the movie of mat89, but Diman has completed only 3 levels which would be incomplete. But I hope this improvement is good

Game Description
In this game there is a donkey kong where he'll have to shoot until you reach the top to move forward
Stage by stage comments
  • Level 1: Just quickly. When I got into the open button to automatically (which makes the capture time). At the end quickly grab the heat gun (which makes it go faster).
  • Level 2: When you do start the journey back to fast activate automatic
  • Level 3: This level is like the first that has more bees in the hive
  • Level 4: This level is a little, but there bees and insects, but I miss the part that had the air gun (which will be a little slower then the game ends
enjoy
Baxter: Rejecting for being slower than a rejected submission.

An improvement doesn't make the game any more entertaining, or any more likely to be published, especially after the two movies you mentioned were rejected for the same reason: Bad game choice.

Both submissions you linked were not rejected because they were too slow or because they did not finish 4 levels, but because the game was considered to be not suitable for making an entertaining TAS (poor game choice). When looking at the gameplay, this movie looks just like the other submissions... what do you think makes this submission significantly different from the other two submissions (in entertainment)? On another note, using autofire is probably not the best/fastest way. At every shot, you have a 50% chance that you lose a frame.

I can't tell whether this run has been cancelled or not; on the forums it hasn't and on the queue it has. In case it hasn't, I'll voice my agreement that no run of this game can possibly be entertaining, and vote no.

It seems to me that this run wasn't actually improved. I have 3864 frames on mat89's run and 3893 frames on this run.
