A improved version for my previous run: https://tasvideos.org/2398M

Sorry my English isn't good, I can't say too much.

What's new

  • Use RNG for better results
  • Improved some actions
  • Take damage for saved time

More exaplains

  • Helicopter and Truck bosses will run away when it runs out of ammo. With RNG I tried let them alway fire as much as possible
  • Most enemies can dodge my attacks, RNG can make them get hits
  • Waterfall's animation can make delay a little by pause button

Darkman425: Claiming for judging.
Darkman425: Nice improvements with the RNG manipulations. Accepting as an improvement to [2398] NES RollerGames by NhatNM in 13:30.47.
fsvgm777: Processing.

Here's my quick review. * Sync: Yes. Tested on BizHawk 2.9 (Core: NesHawk) * Previous Work: NhatNM's previous own movie [https://tasvideos.org/2398M|2398M] played on FCEUX 2.2.1. This movie improves it by 10 seconds. * Boot/Menu Optimization: I could not improve it. * Routing: The player chooses the pink girl character who seems to be the fastest in movement and attack. This seems to be the optimal routing choice, given The game mixes beat'em up stages (can only advances after you defeat the active enemies) with get-to-the-end-as-fast-as-possible stages. Some other stages include autoscollers and boss fights. Perhaps boss fights might benefit from a stronger fighter, but of course this would lose time in the running stages. * Gameplay Optimization: I took succinct look at the inputs and their seem very optimized. I played around with it and found that, if you're not careful enough, some lag frames will creep in when some objects (e.g., barrels, dogs) are not dealt with and they start to accumulate. So I can tell special attention to lag management was done in this movie. * Last Input Optimization: I attempted to improve in the last input but did not succeed. * Entertainment: The author inserted some cool moves whenever waiting was necessary, which is always nice. I vote yes.

For those not familiar with this game, this is based on a very popular but short lived TV series of the same name which basically gave roller derby the professional wrestling treatment. You play as a member of one of the "face" (to use the professional wrestling term) teams - T-Birds, Rockers or Hot Flash - to rescue the league owner who's been abducted by the "heel" teams - Bad Attitude, Violators and Maniacs. The basic gameplay is "a beat-em-up/platforming hybrid on roller skates" and it's an idea that's long overdue to reappear on modern indie games (or a remaster that leans heavily on the slice of late 80s cheesy goodness the TV series represented). Yes vote for me!

A little advice, if you can't write much about the submission in English, try writing instead in your native language. #8367: longbao's NES Megankreuzstilette in 30:22.55 is one such example.

Truly to say, I have no ideas what things I should write. What main prev techs I'm already wrote, now must write again? Or I should write about game story or some basic guides how to play this game. Hell no, TAS isn't game advertise But it's ok, next time I'll try write more and more what I can come up thinks
