Thanks

I referred to parrot14green and FractalFusion's submission and forum to make this run. Especially, I got a lot of advices from parrot14green. Thank you very much!
sgrunt: Replaced the submission file with one that is three frames faster.
klmz: Claimed for judging.
sgrunt: Replaced the submission file again with a 30 frame improvement.
GabCM: Added Dailymotion module (encoded from that 30 frame improvement)
klmz: Good quality and positive audience feedback. I think we can have this submission under a traditional "character_choice" + "any%" category alongside the two currently published movies of the same game.
GabCM: Waiting for mmarks' HD encode, then I'll publish.

Mister Epic, I noticed some strange blue objects at certain points in your encode (mp4 and 512kb mp4). [URL=http://img403.imageshack.us/i/groundblue.jpg/][/URL] [URL=http://img257.imageshack.us/i/magicblue.jpg/][/URL] I'm also fairly certain these spots shouldn't be in the game. Comparison to the Forte run. [URL=http://img535.imageshack.us/i/magicfortecomparison.jpg/][/URL]

That happens in the game itself because sparky messes up the graphics using the Tengu Blade.

I was going to explain that it's an emulation problem or a game glitch, due to the fact these blue squares are present in mmarks' HD encode, but Sonikkustar explained it.

The player, sparky, uses a specific weapon, the Tengu Blade, which causes that graphical glitch.

Yes, I got that much, but my confusion is regarding why Tengu Blade does that?

And also, new animated logo + fading subtitles ftw.
Making it harder to catch the "TASvideos.org" part is not good, imo.

Don't worry, this logo died fast. Now the TASVideos.org part is static.
