This is the craziest Pokémon TAS I have ever seen. It started out with the gameplay more or less intact, until it reached a point where it started to go more and more insane every minute. This TAS managed to become my favorite Pokémon TAS (together with the Ruby any%) instantly, and I have seen many of them. Strong yes vote from me!

You're absolutely right, adelikat, this game is crap and the TAS is boring ^^ But of course this still should be published, just lock it up in the vault.

Ok, as the Gex guy, I have to clarify some things here: Gex: Enter the Gecko is not a good example of a game, where you deliberately TAS a version with less levels. The amount of regular levels (bonus levels are irrelevant for any%) is exactly the same, it's just that the two versions each have one exclusive level. The reason the N64-version is used for speedruns and TASes (besides the option to disable the time-wasting quotes), is that the exclusive level lets you have more remotes earlier on, which allows you to skip a boss. For 100%, I would prefer the Playstation version, because it has more content overall. This is my opinion for all games btw, don't try to save time with a version that has less content.

Let's bump this, because I think my stream should now be worth of getting listed here. Twitch Username: andypanther Link to stream page: http://www.twitch.tv/andypanther Do you stream Speedruns?: Yes, my best games are Mario Kart 64 and Beetle Adventure Racing. - TAS work?: Yep, I occasionally stream my work on the Gex 64 TAS - Races from SpeedRunsLive?: Yes, mostly Mario Kart 64, but also Super Mario 64, Gex 64, Diddy Kong Racing or 102 Dalmatians (lol). What else do you stream?: Maybe a first playthrough of a random Indiegame. Other info: I sometimes stream in German.

I personally don't care too much what version ends up being published. I love the cheap cutscenes of this game and thought that ending the input that early was pretty clever. Publishing both would also work for me, but in that case, this movie could only go to moons. And it would be pretty arbitrary for a separate category.

I'm through the first two rooms of Smellraiser and my lead is now over 3000 frames. And I found a cool little trick! When you finish a climb from a wall, you have to watch a long animation and your speed drops to 1. However, there's a single frame to jump from the wall, where you still make it to the platform and also keep your speed. This saves quite some frames and also looks really funny, because Gex looks like he gets teleported into the air.

Looking good! And much more entertaining than Mukki's TAS.
Thank you! One of my goals is to get this published to moons instead of vault.

It's finally here, the first WIP! Link to video My apologies for the loooong time it took me to finish this level. TASing this game is not easy at all due to the movement, and the first level is actually pretty tough to optimize. This killed my motivation for months because I never TASed a 3D game before. I saved a ton of time compared to Mukkis TAS, literally everything is faster, even menus and level transitions. 2933 frames ahead when starting Smellraiser.

This game needs to have a publication just because of the cutscenes.

I hate football. So. Fucking. Close! But I still have to say that the Swiss played an incredible match. They brought Argentina to their limit and eventually got unlucky at the very end. It's so sad to lose like this :(

While I don't find this run particularly interesting, I know that this is due to my lack of understanding of the game mechanics, and the TAS is in fact very impressive on a technical level. There definitely is an audience that finds this more entertaining than I do, so I think this should be published to replace a worse hack of the same game.

The Swiss will get their last chance to stay in the tournament now, this match will be very intense. While a draw (and in some cases even a loss), could be enough, they just have to win today. If they don't, they wont have the slightest chance against Argentina, that's just basic psychology. HOPP SCHWIIZ!

YEEEEEEES! What a historic accomplishment for Greece! I nearly died at the end, but it was worth it.

That goal was so obviously not offside, it's ridiculous.

Greece really fought for this draw, 10 players, almost no ball possession and constantly under attack - and yet they still succeed getting that point. Reminded me a lot of the good ol' times back in 2004 ^^ And if they defeat Ivory Coast, they can even make it to the next round (if Japan doesn't win of course, and I doubt they will).

Yes, after the group stage it's a K.O. system. Only the losers of the semifinals get to play another match, the unpopular match for 3rd place.

Switzerland defeats Ecuador with a goal in the 93. minute! Behramis one-man show that lead into this was the best part: First he manages to stop an attack of Ecuador, he falls down but gets up and still keeps the ball. Then he runs toward the middle, where he gets attacked and goes down again. But again, he quickly gets up and keeps the ball. Finally, after running across half of the field, he passes and Switzerlands attack leading to the goal begins. Now France is next. They are very strong this time, so this won't be easy. But I know from previous years that the Swiss can do very good against France, so I'll be optimistic.
