Hello! This is a 00:16.77 second improvement over my previous submission

About the Run

This was supposed to be a practice run for me to get better at TASing. I then managed to improve it by 2 frames. I wasn't sure if I wanted to submit this because I was afraid it might have been too small of an improvement to warrant another publication. But some people have encouraged me to submit this, so I might as well.
The improvement over my previous submission came from a pausing trick that was found by Hotarubi. This allowed me to shorten the waiting lengths of transitions.
I thank Vatchern for his run! Also Hotarubi for his trick! Enjoy!
EDIT: The file got corrupt because of the terrible reset bug in FCEUX v2.1.4a. I fixed this and now I'm awaiting a judge to replace the submission.
sgrunt: Replaced the submission file with this one which does not suffer from the FCEUX reset glitch.
FractalFusion: Accepting as an improvement to the published run.

I redid the final zone so that it wouldnt reset. This is the same fm2. that Mister Epic used in his encode. Im hoping that a judge could replace the movie file soon. Fixed fm2.

Voting yes. (Out of curiosity, do you pronounce 1th, 2th, and 3th as firth, seconth, and thirth?)
I am a figment of my imagination.

Sage advice from a friend of Jim: So put your tinfoil hat back in the closet, open your eyes to the truth, and realize that the government is in fact causing austismal cancer with it's 9/11 fluoride vaccinations of your water supply.

Hotarubi is female? :O I better fix that! Also, There have been some people that told me that since Hotarubi did a major improvement to the run, she should be listed as a co-author. I want to check if her first before doing so.

Ive decided to add Hotarubi as a co-author as her trick consists of a large portion of this run.

It's a good thing we use softsubs for HD encoding.

I believe you are mistaken. Are you sure you didn't confuse Hotarubi with all the females who named their username after a manga/anime character?

Statistically speaking, yes. That said, if you were female, would you want anyone else to know? Women deal with enough harassment online as it is, even (especially?) from well-meaning geeks, which we have plenty of here.

For some reason, the main character reminds me of a South Park Canadian. I couldn't help but think "What is this aboot?" the entire time I was watching. Hahaha.

Voting yes because it is a silly game and an (big) improvement to an already published run.
