This topic is for the purpose of discussing #7816: Alyosha's NES Konami Wai Wai World "1 player" in 30:17.31

Temp Encode UPD: removed because the TAS has been published.

Thanks for the encode Dimon12321. Glad to see an improvement for 1 player category. Nice job finding out about the instant death command and reviving characters through a different method rather than the slot machine minigame seen on the current 2 players category. I wonder how much time you could improve that run by implementing both finds. At the end of this encode, seems you forgot (again) to add some extra "A" presses to get to the credits. Meanwhile, yes vote and goodbye all remaining 2004 runs.

Oh yeah thanks for pointing that out, new file: https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638043767938618519 You can't kill player 2 with the command, as player 2 has no select button on the famicom and pressing the combination twice for player 1 doesn't kill player 2. So it wouldn't save that much time in 2 player, about 10 seconds looking over the current run. In 2 players you can use death abuse + dice game in essentially the same way, so at least another 10 seconds can be saved there. EDIT: actually you would need to test first if rescuing a character automatically assigns them to player 2, if o not as much time can be saved since you would need to climb the stairs to kill off player 2. 2 player routing is more complicated though, maybe a different route could lead to even more savings.

It looks like the submitted movie doesn't actually reach the credits like the currently published 1 player run. This one does, though I'm not sure if movie will have to be replaced. https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638048456560262145

Yeah the movie that reaches the credits, which was intended for replacement, is linked in the post directly above yours.

This movie has been published. The posts before this message apply to the submission, and posts after this message apply to the published movie. ---- [4940] NES Konami Wai Wai World "1 player" by Alyosha in 30:17.31

Glad to see new tricks. I didn't know the dice game for characters resurrection, any explanation？ I just found the suicide trick works for player 2 as well, using 1p select + 2p up + A +B. For 2 player run, it's very useful to keep only 1 player in final stage for lag reduction. I also know another trick of using same character for 2 players, but it looks not useful for any% 2 player run, just add some entertainment.

Great TAS, i was been looking my messages history on tasvideos discord server and i found one like: Then i noticed it finally been obsoleted after like 1.5 to 2 decades for aproximately 4 minutes, yes vote on submission and 10/10 rating on publication. and yes, i watched the entire improved TAS for rating.
