Well ;P I kinda did the same things as Snail cus he seems to be a good player and he also seems to know this game better then noone. So I would (I think) have got an end time of 17:something, just like snail. This means I saved 4-5 minutes.

The best thing about this game is that it spawned the knights of the old coding comic strip: http://kotoc.keenspace.com/ or http://comics.captainn.net/~kingauthor/ Totally hillarious. Watch Kuros rescue the maidens and have Link get all the credit. The ultimate space invaders show down. How Simon Belmont creatively time attacks this game using the map!

Pretty funny. Wish my Mozilla didn't crash randomly when browsing that one...

It didn't crash for me :P Start reading from the beginning, take a few hours off your day, it's really good.

I don't understand how someone could possibly say the last levels of the game are boring, let alone the statement "Seeing something I've already seen is less boring than seeing something new." I just can't fathom how someone would think the warp to the beginning and beat the first 3 levels over again glitch makes for an entertaining time attack. I'm quite sure everyone's going to just stop the video halfway through. That factor alone should convince you to make a timeattack without the glitch.

In my opinion this glitch was cool and seeing the first levels played twice wasn't boring. A nice creative way to cut the time for completion. But you are entitled to your opinion. :)

Wow. I would take you seriously if you didn't make up quotes.

I agree on those who said it was boring. I was really looking forward to see all the levels again. When it started over again I thought it was some bug with me having the wrong rom version. Would really like to see a complete version instead. Anyway would also like to say that I think there is perhaps one or two games that I enjoyed watching of the games I haven't played before. They are just not really interesting. Perhaps most of you feel the same way? Thank god I have played alot of games anyway. :)

Well.. at the moment im drunk as hell but that doe´stn concern you except my huge spelling errores.. I think the glictch is much cooler then completing the game as is should be. And the fact s that this tiem attack/speed run tries to make it as fast as possible.. If I would have finished the game properly I would have ended with a time around 17:something.. maybe 16:closeto17something. So this is vcool and fast.

Hmmm, well, I tried two different ROMs but in both he dies during the lava level. And on BitTorrent there is no one with more than 85.1% online. Any ideas?

Well.. imo that´s a cool glitch. I doubt I will do a full time attack at this.. Why don´t you do it? Can be nice to see all levels, but it also takes 4-6 minutes longer.

Well, I just watched this movie and I have to say I love it. You waste practically no time and the glitch is great. Sure, the first few levels aren't as interesting a second time, but I don't find them boring either. I hadn't read anything in this thread before watching it, so I was totally amazed when you were suddenly back in level one. Great movie. :-D

Yeah glitch is cool and i haven't seen it until now. I liked subtitles also, helped to understand quicker glitch was made by purpose and not an accident :-) However i'd hope Bisq would add a supplement video (if someone does it) which play all levels through.

As discussed here, I cannot watch Walker's new, full Wizards & Warriors time attack. I have tried different ROMS but they always desync in the blue caves. I'm wondering if it might be an emulator difference. I have watched the AVI but I prefer to retain the smaller FMV files instead. So I'd appreciate any ideas on fixing this problem.

I've got that one, plus the [o1] that someone else used, and another from someone else. I've got three different Wizards & Warriors ROMs but none of them seem to do it. Did I miss a Famtasia update?

i always watch the runs on the original famtasia (because when i change speed it slows down too much on the 60fps ver) and i never had any kind of problems...

I solved my own problem. I think it was speed-changing issue. Somehow when I changed speeds (in an attempt to hurry the fuck up) I crashed the emulator and it would act erratically for a while. Starting cold, without touching speed controls, I am able to watch the play. So I shall close this topic and I apologize for wasting everyone's time. D'oh.

I think this game has gone too long without a new video being put in it's place. Poor ol' Kuros has been forgotten about. =P I'm currently on the planning stages for level 1, and I'm still working on getting used to using the frame tools, but I think I can do it, it's just gonna take me a while. My question is, would an all-levels run be preferred, or should I use the glitch to warp me back to the first level in the fifth level? I wanna see what would be the preference before I get started on things.
