This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see https://tasvideos.org/3189M
TAS originally published on 2016-07-30

The Combatribes is a side-scrolling fighter without much side-scrolling, but all the more fighting. Mostly jumping on poor defenseless bad guys and repeatedly polishing the sidewalk with their faces.

Alyosha ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/A... ) and Dooty ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/D... ) here obsolete the longest non-obsoleted movie (at the time of publication) by over two and a half minutes. Many optimizations were achieved with improved modern tools and careful testing of enemy movement patterns. For more information, see the authors' comments ( https://tasvideos.org/5178S ).

The movie this one beats is somewhat legendary due to the fact that it was a result of power abuse: it was submitted, accepted and published by the same person within a couple of minutes. That run took 12 years to get beaten due to the nature of the game and common absence of interest; probably if it was judged properly in the first place, it would've had no chance to get published at all.
