I'd heard of this game before but it's the first time I've ever seen in played, now I'm noticing huge similarities to Earthworm Jim and wondering if there's any relation or if the same people worked on both games?
Hmmm... On that, I would assume that they are referring to "second playthrough" as it would be impossible to complete every stage by the 2nd round. Scenario 2, alone, takes multiple rounds to finish as its victory condition depends upon an A.I.-controlled Riana to race to the top of the map. No commander deaths sounds feasible, though.
Yes, it's second playthrough, not second turn. The same term (2周目) is used for games that have a loop, i.e. after completing the last stage restart from the first stage with higher difficulty. Either way, the conditions are such that I wouldn't worry about ?4 in a TAS, looking forward to seeing how your run goes :)
A ton of characters can learn it in Der Langrisser and its various incarnations, but not until being promoted to their 4th or 5th level class. Edit: Ok, re-read, yeah only Agent class gets Teleport in Langrisser II, and only Liana and Lana can reach it. I've never seen a summon spawn with Teleport.
Voted yes after watching but didn't post about it until now. This run was amazing, seeing the luck manipulation involved and the AI abused into walking into their own destruction by underlevelled characters. Loved how the last scenario went down. Thanks for the detailed commentary!
What are the technical limitations preventing a run that syncs on hardware?

There will never be a console accurate emulator (and thus never a console-verified TAS) for pokemon rby/gsc due to how insanely hardware-implementation-defined the RNG in those games is.
Yes, I read that, I was looking for something more specific. What are the actual details regarding the RNG and the different GB/GBC hardware revisions? What is stopping there from being an emulator that emulates a particular hardware version correctly enough that a run produced on that emulator would sync on that Gameboy? Or am I misunderstanding the problem entirely? Links would be appreciated, thanks.
If it won't be submitted, I'd love to see an encode of Rayas & Kilaye's run made, polished or not it's fun to see this game get busted open.
FatRatKnight that sounds amazing, I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with it.
Oh, are autoscrollers fair game for running now? I would have thought they'd only be acceptable as playarounds. Would be cool to see something more complex like Battle Garegga (esp. Harder or Extended) get picked apart.
Stage 1 - .o(this game has great music)
Stage 5 - .o(why didn't they have budget for more than 1 song)
You aren't funny. Please, just leave and stop filling topics with random spam.
Amen.

This run is a playaround but I think the branch should be changed. To me, "Total Control Hack" is misleading, but I can't think of another name for it at the moment. "Hacking" is fine, but not "Hack".
