"C:\MAME\INP\Tmp\gemmy.inp MOST LIKELY IS USING AUTOFIRE or SLOWDOWN!!!" is a pretty good indicator. :)

Same goes for his Ninja Commando inp too.

for what's it worth... from a gameplay standpoint, I was very impressed with his recording. He uses great patterns for getting Perfects on the stages, a lot of which I never knew about. The only thing I would question slowdown being used for would be punching the fireballs... he had great timing with that... (although he did get hit once on King)

He was definitely not using autofire on the bonus stages, the bar is definitely rising as it would if someone was tapping buttons, not holding down a button putting button presses in at rapid-fire. He coulda used slowdown to make it easier though...

just remember that analinp is not 100% accurate all the time... I still don't know why I was DQ'ed for Magic Sword when I know I recorded that with 100% speed. I actually used autofire on the bonus stages of an old Fatal Fury 1 recording, nobody caught it. I checked it with analinp and it didn't catch it either. (that recording has since been replaced with a more honest attempt). So...

"most likely" is the keyword here, but i'm going to look at bbh's recordings to see if there's anything that can be done to analinp to detect these known recordings as well.

Yeah the gameplay was impressive, but i think from the recent uplaods which do not have any autofire detection triggers set means he was using autofire for something. I had thought it was the bonus stages because i couldn't really tell what moves required what buttons.

all in all i think this was a good catch by analinp, but as bbh says analinp is definitly not 100% acurate for all future recordings/autofire mechanisms it hasn't seen yet.
