comicalflop, unfortunately we'd also need to find a very fast scrolling autoscroller, like the one in SCW. That might be a problem.
that it would. It still is a great TAS tactic for SCW.
My post was kind of a jib at SMW/SDW, where running underwater is impossible (or if it is, please contradict me)...
The game forces you to run because the screen rolls at over 123 speed (where-as mario's max running/flying speed is around 49-51(not so sure about this)).
So basically, you are pinned against the left-most wall, and all you can do is swim up and down. The game forces you into a running state for reasons unbeknownst (there's your word of the day bitches!) to me.
That level was quite refreshing to play. It was so uncontrollable, that I had to slow the game down to 25% speed, and even then it was like you were at running speed. It will look very impressive in real-time, if TASed properly (or at all).
I made a little demo of the high speed:

During this state of high speed, it is fun to shoot fireballs, because you can shoot 1 every 3 or 4 frames, and it will look like mario is frozen, and riding a trail of fire.
That's right and TSRP2 doesn't do that. That's why it is clearly the better hack!
DUDE, Mario Runs Backwards all the way up the mountain during "Big Bob-Omb On The Summit" in Bob-Omb Battlefield?! That was insane! I vote Yes! Come on everyone! Let's bake a delicious cake...for FODA!
You have to understand that Acmlm's board is all about MAKING hacks while TASVideos are all about SPEEDRUNNING games. That's two very different things.
Besides, right now the Second Reality thread in Acmlm is all about "how do you patch this" "where's the right ROM" "how do I do this and this". You've bought up the TAS question, but it was pretty much shot down anyway. And they also suggested that YOU do the TAS. Even here and on Acmlm's board, nobody has developed any interest in doing the TAS other than, oh, you know... YOU.
Doesn't that tell you that Second Reality isn't even worth speedrunning at all? If you want to see a speedrun of Second Reality so bad, do it yourself. Nobody else is going to.
Also, FPI, the creator of the hack, clearly stated in the thread that he needs some more work updating the game. And Bisqwit has stated several times that the hacked game has to be 100% complete (as in, everything is flawless and does not need further testing) before it can even be considered. There's a chance that the hack will be better after the update and people are more willing to run the hack. Who knows? Just wait it out 'till it's confirmed from FPI that it is indeed the last version.
You pretty much have only one option available: do the TAS yourself. That's all.
But this hack is popular if you dony't belive me( And you'd better belive it if you don't!) Check out the thread at ACMLM's board and then talk to me about unworthy!

Why quit when it's not worth it when this hack is quite popular? Just finish it and post it here and I'll see just how good it is.
I quit because
A. I am not very good at Mario, as you could see in the run i did.
B. I saw mrz's run, that was very well played and still didnt think it was worth TASing.
Why dont you ask Bossman, since he's the smart one:P
He doesn't even like Mario! As punishment YOU have to do it!
Do i have to?? Didnt think so... I started a TAS of this game so did mrz but stopped when i realized it wasnt (in my opinion) TASable... Or interessting to watch.
1st of all, Of course I Didn't make the hacks!
2nd of all, I think they are TAS worthy because the 2 games completely overhual Dragon Warrior for the 1st hack and Final Fantsy for the 2nd hack so the rules in the official games would not apply>
I know this was probably mentioned in that *previous* post that sounded like recess on the 2nd grade playground, but why don't you want to TAS this yourself? You seem to have a genuine interest in it, and learning to TAS really isn't hard, it just takes a little time and patience. So how about you give it a shot first by yourself and ask everyone for help along the way, instead of asking other people to do it? It will be much more personally fulfilling, I'm sure.
I lost all intrest to TAS it after I got mad due to my ban.

That's right, I'm new and improved too! But remember:ONLY USE THIS THREAD FOR TSRP2 DISSCUSSION! PEOPLE STRAYING THIER INTREST TO SUPER CHALLENGE WORLD IN THE OLD THREAD IS WHAT LED TO THE ARGUMENT!
