I don't know whether this is related to my movies, but what you said doesn't make sense to me. We do not just aim for the fastest time on TASes, we preform, and we create entertainment. Sorry if you don't find backwards jumping entertaining, you can watch regular runs instead to avoid "crazy" things only seen in TASes.
I wasn't referring to anyone's run in particular, but of all of the runs I've seen, most of them employ this is one way or another. It wouldn't bother me if done a few times, but any more than 10% of the entire run doing that just bothers me.

Do you refer to Genisto's SNES Super Mario All-stars: Super Mario Bros 3 glitchfest run, by any chance? The SNES and GBA version of Super Mario Bros 3 allow you to run at hyper speed by holding left+right - it's faster so it wouldn't make sense not to do it. I think there's a ton of glitches that could be showcased in an NES run now, however, so hopefully we get a glitchfest run without backwards running someday.
Okay, that I didn't know, and make a bit more sense now. In the event that it does actually save time, of course. Thanks for the info!

I'm sorry if this has been asked millions of times before. I searched and couldn't find anything, so don't bite my head off if that's the case. Now, almost all of the 2D side-scrolling Mario runs I've seen feature Mario running backwards either for the entire run, or for most of the run. I can't for the life of me figure out why. I'm assuming it's one of those "it doesn't slow down the run, so why not?" things, but I can't be the only person in existence that finds it incredibly annoying. I wouldn't mind it if it's only for a few minutes, but the whole frakking run? Really? Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should. If, God forbid, there was a button that let you change colours of the character, would you press that five billion times during a few frames as well? I don't expect there to be a good reason for this, but I'm all ears if there really is one. I really don't expect anyone to say that it's actually faster, because that just wouldn't make any sense to me. Granted, I've never done a TAS before, but I know the fundamentals and it just doesn't look like that's the case. Any info is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Ok, now I have a problem. It just finished getting A Boy and his Blob, but when I clicked on it (in the folder) and clicked "open in media player" (windows media player), it started going as only an audio file which is the reason I got the torrent crap to stop this from happening because it's really pissing me off...

Ah, nevermind that, I just skipped it; others are going smoother. I don't know if this comp has a router or not, it's not my comp and I'm not very tech-wise either...

Ok, I started downloading a couple, but they're going unbearably slow, not even at .5% yet...

I went to the official BitTorrent download page and DL'd the Windows installer. When it was finished downloading, I clicked it and it gave a prompt saying "BitTorrent was successfully installed! To use it, go to a website that uses BitTorrent and click on the appropriate links." or something like that. BUT, when I proceed to get some .torrent files, it didn't work, and the FAQ on the site didn't help much. Can anybody help me with this oh so devastating problem I have please?
