Re: T13 - Introduction, general rules, dates, discussion

New day, new eyes and new refreshed brain. I may delete the rule "All recordings made by a player must beat their own personal high score for the tournament." because, rather than a rule, it should be common sense. Same for the e-mail requirement, it may be an excess. For now I can delete ...

Re: T13 - Introduction, general rules, dates, discussion

Ah right. Judges thing. I am a confirmer, and know how to look at the inputs to find out use of autofire and other tricks. When I nominated myself for the tourneys, I imagined I would have had the entire responsability about checking and validating scores... I don't know well how the judges thing wo...

T13 - Introduction, general rules, dates, discussion

Personal introduction I'm new to the experience of a tournament organization, though I'm not new to joining in/following some of them, and I examined the development of most of the previous tournaments in here. It's my intention to give out my best in organizing this tournament, in making it enjoya...

Re: TimeTrial 2013 - R2 - Pitfall II (game completed) [pitfa

Here is my INP. For now.
I will retry later, because I'm always at a step to end. As I was at a step to end even in OutZone. Bets are open on me being at a step to end in all TT rounds :?
Approximately 31.500 frames, 3 stages completed.

Re: TimeTrial 2013 - R2 - Pitfall II (game completed) [pitfa

AAAAH I'm hopeless. Did not have so much time to try (130 games only) and always lost the first life at first two stages. *sob*
I guess I'll send a something-less-perfect-than-I-wanted to get some points.

Golden era, platform, SEGA. I feel like I'll suck a lot in this round 8O

(small typo in the discussion title... pitfall is missing a T)

Re: TimeTrial 2013 - R1 - Out Zone (1 loop) [outzone]

Kudos to TRB for his INP. I'm feeling beated by anxiety typical of my "last day of a round" occasions, and I'm not able even to arrive to stage 5 completed today.

never done speedruns before. if i don't shoot most of them, they turn around and shoot me!!
Diagonally is slower than straight. Like it should be in reality :wink:

6th mission completed, though not that fast, about 54600 frames :( Hey man, are you sure the ZIP you loaded is correct? 22 bytes only it says, it's exactly the byte dimension on an empty ZIP :( Kudos for beating the sixth stage :D you can be of company to me there, with nii-san.

Re: TimeTrial 2013 - R1 - Out Zone (1 loop) [outzone]

The method I use to calculate the framecount is from appearance of the character (blinking yellow from under the mothership) to the beginning of the explosion of the last defeated boss. Okay then, I was extending it a bit :) I'll use it eventually in a future uploading. I calculated from appearance...

Re: TimeTrial 2013 - R1 - Out Zone (1 loop) [outzone]

Made over 300 tries (after two days of pattern study), still didn't come up with something satisfying my desires.
I'm going through another big session, if I don't get stage 4 completed or better I'll have to upload stage 3.

Re: Time Trial 2013 - Announcement and Rules

Count me in Image no matter if I will be so able to come out with great performances, but I really liked last time trial I tried, and I like more the score system of yours (same importance given to any round).
