To get a bit technical here, when choosing someone for this award, only base your judgement on things they did that helped prior to April 1st. For example, while Nitusja did excellent work upgrading blip's movie support in Snes9x along with other things, his work on VBA should be an accomplishment reserved for next years awards, since AGB runs were not accepted as of April 1st. Along the same lines, don't nominate me for work on ZSNES, or my efforts in arranging the awards this year. Next year though... ;)

I think this award is more intended for those that submitted a movie but the movie was rejected. Not because the movie was bad quality, but because it broke a rule. An example perhaps could be where someone did the run on a translated game. I'm not sure of what movies that fall into this category were submitted prior to April 1st. But for next year, I could see the Super Demo World run being a contender. Bisqwit, if you disagree with my logic, then I'll agree to drop this award.

Super Metroid (any %) by Terimakasih I've been waiting for a Super Metroid movie this good since blip added movie support to Snes9x.

SMW 96-exit by VIPer7 This one just had my mouth open for a lot of it. I did not know you could do have the things done. And I already thought I new this game quite well. Mega Man X 2 The speed and creative use here left me speechless as well.

The link: http://tasvideos.org/movies.cgi?id=308 I'd have to nominate the Zelda run done in a few minutes, I didn't see that one coming. http://tasvideos.org/movies.cgi?id=301

What Morimoto originally did with Super Mario Bros. 3 I don't think was expected by anyone. And of course Genisto improved upon it. http://tasvideos.org/movies.cgi?id=14 Edit: I'd nominate for a runner up Genisto's Bionic Command run. http://tasvideos.org/movies.cgi?id=268 I never thought the game could be glitched out like that and didn't think we'd see the old run time be beaten by so much.

Super Mario Bros. 3, need I say more? I think this is the movie that started it all. http://tasvideos.org/movies.cgi?id=14

I'd have to say Battletoads by FODA. Quite good, and one person controlled both players. http://tasvideos.org/movies.cgi?id=291

Well, the Legend of Zelda had some crazy planning behind it to get the route used. Both SleepZ and Phil played it. SleepZ also played Super Mario Bros. 2 frame by frame. Phil and Genisto played Super Castlevania 4 which was insane to do right and needed loads and loads of rerecording. They also did the Battletoads run on Famtasia which was a nightmare with Famtasia going nuts all the time.

My list is: Phil Genisto Bisqwit Morimoto SleepZ I'd vote for Terimakasih, but he's only done runs for one game. No offense if I left you out, I haven't seen every movie here.

I'd have to say the long Super Metroid by Terimakasih, this is as good as it gets. All the creative use of using the speed booster even while using the morph ball gets my vote. http://tasvideos.org/movies.cgi?id=311 Edit, I'd also like to add the Mega Man X 2 movie. The creative use of weapons made it very entertaining for me. Also the speed of some areas kept my mouth open. http://tasvideos.org/movies.cgi?id=160

I'd have to nominate Castlevania by Phil and Genisto, this is an extremely entertaining movie, one that other movies should be measured by. http://tasvideos.org/movies.cgi?id=3 Edit: I'm also going to have to add River City Ransom by SleepZ. Not the best run, but "Beware of the trashcan" had me rolling. http://tasvideos.org/movies.cgi?id=37 Edit: Totally forgot about Bionic Commando. Extremely entertaining movie, I don't think it gets boring for a second. http://tasvideos.org/movies.cgi?id=268

I'd have to agree, Vice Project Doom was excellent.

I would have to say it was this one: Mega Man 2 by Morimoto. Or perhaps a long time ago people were dying for this movie: http://tracker.tasvideos.org/zelda-timeattack-sleepzteam.avi.torrent Although I can't seem to find the movie # for it.

I'm going to nominate Genisto. I don't know how many people were here long enough to remember Genisto's first runs, but they weren't that great. Contra anyone? But if you look at all the games he did since then, Castlevania, Battletoads, Arkanoid and more, you see he's one of our best movie makers now.

I got a few nominations here. I'll nominate both Megaman and Megaman 2 (Rockman). Those games where really taken advantage out of by using the devices in them to go through walls, among other things. Super Mario Bros. 2, have you seen what Sleep Z did to this? Combing two glitches into one to warp a section. We've also probably have more people ask more questions about this game "How did you double jump" than anything else. Finally, Metroid with 1 item. The whole using door glitches to skip over half the game was amazing. Mega Man in 18:21 by Bisqwit. 111 Mega Man 2 in 25:35 by Morimoto and FinalFighter. 306 Super Mario Bros 2 in 07:54 by Sleepz. 309 Metroid in 11:51 by Zoizite. 237

So I guess I'll start of. I'm nominating Blip for the amazing work he did at the beginning getting famtasia into shape, that wasn't easy. He also added rerecording support to several emulators such as FCE Ultra. I'll also nominate nitsuja for all he did to Snes9x. Michael Fried I think also should be nominated since I've seen him consistently try to be helpful, and he was one of the main people planning out the Legend of Zelda run. Finally, I'll nominate Bisqwit, since let's face it, the whole site was created by him, and all the coding went into it isn't easy. He's also shown himself to try to help out all the newbies who had trouble getting the hang of things.
