Just noticed that these embeds had been broken for a minute -- sorry about that! Made a quick change to make sure all these embeds worked properly again.

Apparently Twitch changed how their video embeds worked at some point last year, breaking the video links in the "Notes" section. https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/h0oc2r/twitch_embeds_completely_broken_big_sideeffects

Also the Youtube video was automatically set to "Private" from "Unlisted", again due to changes made by YouTube in July of this year with how they handle unlisted videos -- https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9230970?hl=en

Just saw your new PB, congrats!!

Sorry I haven’t been too active, but I’ll try to answer things in order:

-While I think it’s allowed to submit someone else’s run, I think the mods generally prefer you to submit your own when possible. I also didn’t know what the rules were for YouTube vs a livestream (Twitch), but it looks like that wasn’t an issue. Generally, the mods are kind enough to re-time the VOD if there’s an inaccuracy (I know Toad22484 did for me, which I was quite grateful for). Glad to see you got verified 🙂

-I suspect actual NES is probably considerably advantageous. I also use an 8bitdo (NES30 Pro) but there is most certainly some input delay compared to real controller/console. I have the opposite problem: my old NES works just fine but I lost my TSB cartridge some years back (still have Tecmo Bowl classic though)😂.

-If I might ask, what emulator (/version) did you use for your run?

Yes -- I've found that safeties have the shortest animation time (the fewest frames), so while it could be faster I'd consider it even less reliable than going for an onside kick. A worthwhile option for SingleGame%, but it would require you to kick it deep and get a sack on the first (or maaaybe 2nd) play in order to save any time in an optimal run. Whereas with the onside, you can just reset as soon as you fail to recover.

Totally agree on TSB's viability as a speedgame, it's pretty intense. Would love to see some more runners join the ranks, for sure.

In any event, glad to see you're taking on the challenge! Hope to see you post some times ;)
