[4547] NES Tetris 2 by nymx in 37:35.82
For two years I got to see how the proverbial sausage was made for this one. Starts, stops, restarts, battling motorcycle riding ninjas trying to move into the drug trade in Orlando with our terrible musician friends, new computer, and the almighty BOT.
I think the motorcycle thing may have been the movie Miami Connection, a lot went on in during those two years but either way this is a groundbreaking TAS in my opinion.
[4373] Wii Super Smash Bros. Brawl "The Subspace Emissary, 1 player" by DyllonStej in 1:10:05.60
As a fighting game fan since the original arcade release of Street Fighter required you to literally hurt yourself to play it (Seriously, look it up) I have always had a passing interest with Smash Brawl. Mostly I would pass it by. Then I saw this TAS on a whim and you know what? It's got me trying it out even though what I see here is flat out impossible for any human to do... yet. Give me a couple more Red Bulls and I swear I can do everything shown, just stop flicking the lights off and on!
Wait, that's just my eyes blinking. Okay, never mind. This TAS still got me interested in giving Smash a try, so I nominate it too.
