Amazing job. You fought the good fight. Did you fumenize the whole game by hand? That's equally as amazing Enjoy your day of infinite happiness!
Thanks! I was so excited that I had trouble sleeping last night. I actually have a tool that automatically transcribes piece placements from a modified version of MAME. The fumen link is made using fumen.py from steadshot's fumenizer. I still need to: 1: get it to work with TGM1 in addition to TAP. 2: get it to work on Windows. 3: do a code cleanup. It's hacked together right now. 4: implement comment support in fumen.py so level/section time data can be transcribed as well. I kind of got sidetracked trying to make this work with Texmaster, but messing with assembly was too much for me. I'm also a bit apprehensive about working/playing on emulator so much...
Sounds like the kind of thing that gets me excited about Replaycentral.tv again. Nah, let's finish TC3 leaderboards and tournaments first. Oh, and the wiki...
Congratulations. That was some impressive speed the entire way through and some seriously clever overhangs to set up your mistakes into spins.
Yes, I would say that you are in advance with your level of technic compared with your brute speed. This gives an interesting result : On my first GM I was only at 6:31, and I remember my speed was a little bit more agressive than yours, but my technic a little bit less smart than your current. And you have made it 14sec faster at the end.
Ugh! I don't know if this record counts. I had a huge stutter about 2 minutes in and the game froze for a few seconds. If it does then I'm really happy to have broken 400.. if not, well it shows my potential I guess.. Video is here: https://ia601300.us.archive.org/3/items/ta-death/death-474.mp4
372 @ 3:22. Phone was on low battery and wouldn't let me take a picture. code was 4fep3ch6hdxwec4p (initials are ARK)
Alright, it's finally time for a Death submission. I am going to break 400 soon, I think. I'm not scared anymore.
I finally managed to break into the 400's with a 419 @ 3:12:45 (sorry for the horribly out of sync audio).
