I suggest watching with VLC media player, or Windows Media Player, those 2 worked fine for me (mplayer had problems).

Here is youtube upload:

Here are all of the runs used:

Thanks goes to TheRealOne, mohamedraif, Izzy (for the top and bottom borders), ska (for inspiring me with Best of N 1), #n-highscoring irc channel for support, M&R for creating this awesome game.

Music: The Prodigy - Stand up, Paul Oakenfold - Ready Steady Go

Programs: SnagIT 9 for capturing screen, Sony Vegas Pro 8 for video editing

If anyone wants videos of all runs (i mean captured screen), just ask.

Totally awesome video :O

Sure.. I think you've done well overall. Obviously a lot of your runs showcase a lot more of the technical tricks you can do while playing N, while my video and the soon to be released sequel demonstrate more consistency, rather than pure trickery... I didn't really have a problem with the music, but there were some minor things I wish you'd have eradicated whilst capturing, mainly the ghosting (which apparently is a drawback from your capture software), and at the completion of some of the runs, the ninja loops the completion animation sequences like in debug mode which looks unpolished in the video. Nevertheless, it was enjoyable, although I will say at this point that I will be using some of the runs you used in my video...

Oh, also the effects at times were awesome where it showed an imprint of the ninja at the time of peril (If you get what I mean) but sometimes the effects felt more glitchy then helpful.

I'm not really familiar with large scale of music, I chose what I like / what fits. I didn't want some metal like System of a Down put there, it just doesn't feel right.
I get that imprint thing :). I overall didn't use much effects, like 3-4. If you count slowdowns as effects, then yes, i could have used them better and less. At the end of the vid i think they are used fine.
Also I slowed down a lot so that less skilled players can catch what's going on, the tricks aren't really known across whole community.

Yea i have almost no runs which shows consistency from humans, none of them just look so great as speedruns :) Yea it's mostly about tricks and their combinations. It's a good thing that your vid will show something different, looking forward to it.
As i said to you like 100 times, the ghosting isn't problem of capturing software but the method i used for capturing.
I'm not aware of ninja looping the completion animation :O I'm 99% sure I always cut the video before ninja even get to the exit. Can you tell me in which runs you've seen it?
Yea and I know we will have some duplicate runs, I don't think it's a problem.

Thx for all feedback :P

sorry, yeah I forgot you slowed down the runs to record them :S
kryX's 127-2 run @ 1:02 and moh's MBD on 88-4 (5:25) were a couple I spotted, there might be more but yeah. :P

Wow, its a great vid dude ;)

I like the video, and had a good time watching it. But personally, I would have liked to have seen a higher percentage of the runs showcased be realtime (or even underclocked) as opposed to mbd'd. Maybe that's because I've already seen and been wowed by moh's and TRO's mbd runs.
