That's the whole point. If you only submitted good runs the whole time here, you can't win this award.

Looking at Nitsuja's runs (except MMX3) seem to be very good, so I nominate him too.

"Posted: 2005-04-10 00:27:17 Post subject: #619: Neofix's Genesis Strider in 07:57" Not eligible to use that movie as evidence of a player's improvement. But I see 3 of his earlier submissions had ~60% ratings, while later on before April 1, he got a 92% and 100% rating.

We've had quite a few people try to submit movies that were skilled based, but slowly realized to use the features of the emulators to make a better movie. Vatchern was one of them, but he's not elligible for this year's competition. Who did we have like this past year?

Make sure to make the fight against Wily 2 look very cool, stand as close as possible :) Some moving to the left when he's not firing would also improve the cool factor, as when you do that, you become unprotected.

BoltR: Of course, I'm just arguing my viewpoint. Which others will probably take into account when they vote.

Okay, so I only saw the last one. I wasn't very impressed by the movie, so unless the first was pretty bad, I don't think he can compete with other improved players we've seen on the site.

Unless I'm mistaken Frenom only did one Super Metroid run.

Zoizite: thanks for finding the link to it, how did you find it? The best I could come up with was the torrent to the movie.

Morimoto's Gradius deserves nomination, this is unbelieveable, certainly if you didn't know at first slow down was used. Figure 8 around everybody, incredable. When I first heard about this on the Snes9x site, I didn't believe it for a second - till I saw it that is. http://tasvideos.org/movies.cgi?id=19

you are supposed to slow down to a bit more than normal speed when in ball-form.
How do you know you're supposed to slow down? It seems to me it was made that way intentially.

You can't vote yet, right now for a week or 10 days depending on how things go, we're only nominating.

When nominating a movie, please mention the # or link to the movie so we know exactly which one you're talking about. When nominating a person or movie, please also try to give some information on why you think they deserve nomination. If you have already posted without enough info, please edit your post. If you agreed with a nomination already in a thread, please mention that you do, as it will be easier to determine which nominations deserve to be in the final vote. If you disagree, say so as well along with your reason why.

BoltR: Best signal to noise ratio sounds like a good way to put it. Also someone with a few runs under their belt. If you just play one or two games, there's not much to vote on, to be objective, you really have to see how that player handles very different situations in a manner that suggests whatever future movies this person makes you can expect quality.

Bisqwit: Perhaps ToP then should get an award? There is also the point Highness made. "For example my movie wasn't bad. But not many people watched it and voted. It didn't qualify to get published even though it wasn't bad or broke any rules. It just didn't get the attention needed to get published." Could that have happened? It's understandable that the people handling submissions can't always review every movie, and not every movie gets too many votes because it's of an unheard of game.

Bag: It applies to anyone, but only nominate them for accomplishments prior to April 1st. Helping out others before then. Modifying an emulator before then. Updating the site docs before then. Encoding movies before then. Giving good advice before then, etc...

Bisqwit: yes, although we have quite a few SNES games with the abused programming errors in the game tag.

Dan_: but were those movies he made more difficult than your average movie? Did they require more calculations to do that good?
