I enjoyed it but It didn't look like anything you did really made the game end faster

I've uploaded the video to YouTube in two parts: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exuPqoe3VyY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PIWDOvYF79c

It didn't look like anything you did really made the game end faster

Most stages have individual times where one can easily compare. And, in most minigames, the computer players act faster or slower depending on how fast you are, so that's the most important factor for making the game end faster. Thanks for the comment, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

See if you can find this bug!

While drinking milk ? Also, you could have input tasvideos.org as your name at the end for style :p

Those wacky Japanese, even parodying themself. It's a fun game, so yes vote here.

Yes for the part where they have to escape the okama kisses. And for all the other Japanese gay jokes.

Wow... that's really all I have to say. I wish I knew a little bit of what was actually going on, but this was pretty funny. This reminds me of the WarioWare submission from a ways back... that submission didn't get accepted, but then again, that game was a lot longer than this one and a bit more repetitive. For what it's worth, Yes vote. Oh, at first, I thought this game was going to be Incredible Crisis. mz, you might like making a run for that ridiculous game :-) There's even an American version, though Wikipedia says a couple games were removed from it.

Wow. This game is amazing. A. For its "Japanese are crazy" factor. B. Because it quite well reflects the mindset one gets after being tired at work. The stage that started at 2:30 spoke words. C. There's a Finnish flag there! D. Does the サラリーマンチャンプ title have a part of the Mandelbrot fractal on its background? Maybe not, it may just be a regular lightning art...

This game is so weird... ._.; I loved every second of it! xD Yes vote!

Hahaha! What an interesting and funny game. Good game choice mz, superduper yessy vote.

I chose yes, it is a good movie. However, an improved movie would use at least two players, as many of the mini-games end when 2 out of the 3 finish. 3 players could lead to funny antics, as well.

This movie was bizarre, but mostly entertaining. So I'm inclined to vote yes! I also agree with DarkKobold, 2 or 3 player run would probably be more entertaining.

Three players wouldn't leave room enough to watch the AI get creamed. I think that individual in-game times for the player are a better measure of speed in games like this but I'd be happy to see a two player run for possible play-around opportunities.

This game gives some odd first-glance interpretations of what the Japenese are meant to accept/avoid. Otherwise, while I don't think that the level of gameplay is staggering or anything, the entertainment factor is usually fairly high. I couldn't care less about how fast you can mash during an eating test or something, but watching the results of victory for you versus failure for others is always great. I'm giving this a really weak Yes vote. I feel like a lot of the greatness of this run only comes from the fact that a lot of people haven't seen what this game can offer (content wise) due to its obscurity. Oh well.

This is extremely difficult to follow. Normally I'd think this is a good thing, but as far as I can tell the entire point of this game is to win at a series of largely trivial minigames. To me, this is not at all impressive to watch if not downright confusing (and not in a "what the heck just happened?" fashion so much as a "why am I watching this?" fashion). I vote no.

I couldn't even sit through half the first youtube video. Gotta vote no.

I'm almost certain I saw this in an arcade while I was in Japan... A weak yes. Mini-game collections don't really make great TASs, but this one amused me nonetheless.

I felt sometimes a bit lost while watching this run, but I admit I had fun watching it. It seems a good and fresh addition to the site. And I agree with DarkKobold, a 2-player run would IMO offer more opportunities.

I too think that two-player mode would be faster.

It was very weird, but not in an entertaining way for me. It was basically a WarioWare game with humor that I didn't understand. Voting no.

I'm voting no. I just don't understand the point to TASing this. You complete all your tasks super-fast but the computer opponents slow everything down. I know that you manipulated them into going faster but it still doesn't make it entertaining for me.

OK, thank you for reading my mind and posting it here.

I enjoyed it, description should describe what each minigame is supposed to represent, there are a couple I didn't get. Or a link to a FAQ, that would help.

I'm going to have to vote no on this. With a game like this, there are two things you need to understand. First, you need to understand what exactly is going on in each minigame. For some of them, that's pretty easy. But you also need to understand the culture/humor behind it as well. Not understanding the latter can really hamper the understanding of the former. For example, I can understand in that one minigame that you're running away from a "woman" and you need to move to avoid the kisses. But what I don't understand is why the woman looks like that. Is that actually a man? If so, why is a man dressed as a woman trying to kiss these 3 men? If not, why does that woman look like a man dressed as a woman? Is there supposed to be some joke that all the Japanese would understand in this? I don't know and that really makes the run overall less enjoyable to watch. Another example is the minigame where you have to work when the boss is looking, and play around when the other "thing" looks in on you. First of all, what is that other "thing" looking in on you? Is it supposed to be funny? I don't get it! All the culture and humor aside, there are still some minigames I just don't understand. Like the one with the guy and the 3 buttons. Even if the movie description explained what was being said during this game, it still wouldn't make the minigame any more fun to watch.

Going for a YES-vote on this one. Weird game, and I found it entertaining.
