Submission Text Full Submission Page
I decided to do this game because I like it a lot and I think I know enough to do a TAS on my favourite GameboyAdvance game.
And, I choose to do the second game of the cartridge but maybe later I will do the first game too.

Game objectives / info

  • Emulator used: vba-v24m-svn-r422
  • Aims for fastest time
  • Take damage to save time
  • Use hard difficult
  • One player

About the game

  • This game is an associations of two Astérix games : "Astérix et Cléopatre" and "Astérix et Obélix" (FR name).
  • There are only two jump in this game, small jump and big jump.
  • Running is more faster than walking.
  • When you are hit by an enemy, you are pushed back but if you jump you just take the damage without animations.
  • The hitbox are very strange, you can be touched from very far.

Tricks used

  • It is faster to fall from a ladder than to descend with the hands
  • Auto-fire ( B ) has been used for the mini-games.
  • The big punches requires 18 frames pressing B to become active
  • The second jump requires 6 frames pressing A to become a big jump.
  • I try to take as few stars as possible to avoid losing time on screen at the end of each level.

Other comments

I think in the second level of "Hispania" I lost a few frames when climbing up the stairs.

I think you should keep this here and let people vote on it. I'm not a judge but it seems that the reception for this movie is good so I hope it will be published. When you'll submit the new version, people will vote on that too. If it's good, then a judge or an admin will decide if there can be two branches alongside (this one + the pacifist) or, if the other run is more entertaining, it can obsolete this one. Just my opinion.

I think I found a possible improvement: In the tower, could you somehow manipulate the last prisoner to be in the first cell possible? I never played this version, so I don't know if the location is fixed. It's random on the GBC though, so this would mean a bit of RNG-Fun (which I absolutely can't do)
Current project: Gex 3 any% Paused: Gex 64 any% There are no N64 emulators. Just SM64 emulators with hacky support for all the other games.

I disagree. The votes and the comments tell different stories here. While the votes are somewhat positive, this run has received poorer feedback in the thread than one would desire for a published run. The feedback suggests that many, if not most, viewers found this game too boring. Therefore, TimmyAkmed, if you honestly believe that you can improve the entertainment value of this run it would be wise to do so and cancel this submission (though it should be noted that I am not familiar with this game and so I cannot comment on whether a pacifist goal would be more entertaining (or entertaining enough, for that matter)). Also, you mentioned that you have "found some tricks." If these happen to be time saving tricks then, yes, you should definitely cancel and submit a new run.

The positions of the prisoners is fixed so it's impossible to manipulate the luck here.

I think my new race is more entertaining than the first (It is subjective) but this game is pretty hard to make it interesting. I found a way to win probably more than 10 seconds in all the race. So I think i will finish and see if it's more interesting to watch. So I'm not sure it will be more entertaining for you, should I cancel it in this case?
