Sorry didn't see post about asking to use this topic yeah its fine, best place to do it.
I couldn't watch the whole thing because VLC kept crashing, this is the only video i've had the problem with. I don't know if its my fault or its though. Anyways keep up the good work! Are you going to submit when you are finished?
It's encoded with H.264 for minimal file size. I was sure I used the settings least likely to crash, but I might not have. See the Codec Problems page for possible resolutions.
And yes, I am going to submit it when I'm done. Then you'll all get the SMV to watch them yourself.
But first, I need sleep. :)
I'm not aiming for time, really. I'm aiming for success without "cheating". Where cheating would be pausing one game and playing the other exclusively. I have to play both at once. I'll play in speedrun mode when only one game is actively accepting player input.
Time for another status update. This AVI starts where the last one left off. Roughly. Two bosss in each game beaten (depending on your definition of a boss). File is about 26 MB large, H264, blah blah blah.

Edit: Replaced with an updated movie. If you havn't seen the "five-down" movie, I suggest you scroll up and get that one first; this is a continuation from there.
Edit 2: Encoding screwup. URL won't work until I fix it.
Edit 3: Ready now

My only criticism is that I think it would have been much better to have gotten the Hadoken. It would've taken about 2 more minutes and it's similar enough to the Ryuken that the same input will trigger both moves. But you've long past the point where it would be timely to grab it, so it's kind of a moot point.
I also love how you "buffer" the two games, like grabbing a capsule in one game so you can concentrate on a boss in the other, or something. It's really cool.
And I absolutely loved watching Magna Centipede and Boomer Kuanger die at the same time. (I think it was those two, anyway. I can't get the video to behave itself right now.)

? You need everything else to get it and there's been no opportunities to reenter any stages to get everything yet.
someone is out there who will like you. take off your mask so they can find you faster.
I support the new Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-kun.
I've skipped some heart tanks that required nothing to reach (or very minimal upgrades, like the Dash to get Storm Eagle's). Backtracking would be involved anyways for Penguin's and Mandrill's.
I'm about a level and a half "behind" in X2 compared to X1, and I have a short backtrack to accomplish in X2, not to mention one more X-Hunter who wants to be owned in 16 seconds. Finishing both games at once would be very nice, but unless the Shouryuken turns out to be the miracle I hope it is, there's going to be trouble.
I've tested, and the X-Hunters will wait around for me as long as I don't kill the boss of the level they're in. Zero's parts won't be a problem.

Well, DeHackEd has already answered that for me, but I was thinking of the heart tanks in Storm Eagle's and Flame Mammoth's stages (which he could have grabbed his first trek through but chose not to) when I said that. So if he changed his mind now and decided to grab the Hadoken, he'd either have a lot of re-recording/hex-editing or a lot of backtracking to do.
Make sense now?
The hadoken is too much effort. Besides getting everything, I have to commit suicide 4 times which means I need enough lives to pull this stunt off. Some heart tanks are REALLY out of the way (Launch Octopus' comes to mind). Long segments of pressing LEFT tend to do bad things to the other game.
Finally, WIP update. It's in OGM format this time. A player capable of supporting OGM (mplayer and VLC should do nicely) or a OGG/Vorbis plugin (this is the typical one) are necessary.

I think you guys have just found a way to make speedruns of fighting games worth watching. Most fighting games use similar button combinations. If you can beat up two guys at the same time, I'll watch it.
TASing or playing back a DOS game? Make sure your files match the archive at RGB Classic Games.
I'm hoping someone tries games of different genres... say, Legend of Zelda and Super Metroid. Maybe bad examples since they have extremely wide expected time to completions, but you get the idea.
