RomHack is a demo and incomplete according to its creator Stdh. Searching for the RomHack greeted me to a run by Shiro Paradox which completes it in 2:10 which I won't be linking due to piracy. This is taking your time at face value and not verifying if it contains overextended in input. For future runs please take your time and use the tools available to you in Gens and use the userfiles. Go again when you've optimized all you can, and when the RomHack isn't incomplete as said so by the creator.

> NES > Top no Bottom > NES So... did you mean DS? Like your other post? Only that instead you actually want a single screen, and no alternatives? And even though it's a bit outdated (need to fix it) the second post directly under Samsara's setup is how to get top on its own.

Ah yes, 100 egg, the technically original any% but then we busted the game a new one. Where glitches are still high, but still getting the necessary requirements to reach the Sorceress. Grabbing this when the purple boy gets accepted. Edit: Forgot this note. The previous time this category was submitted cause of issues with PSXjin and the game's DRM it was incomplete.

Try not to be Spike and have about 15 seconds of downtime that could've been used more efficiently and then do this post submission CHALLENGE IMPOSSIBLE.

Framerate should be 25 not 20. Initially made on the wrong framerate which persisted in the release after doing all the adjustments. This should fix that error on the framerate, if it doesn't... heck.

Hello squints long username and welcome to TASVideos. Be sure to truncate your movie before submitting it in the future as on first glance it's slower than an existing RTA run. Light Spike which ends on the final press being an A which reduces this time down by 3 minutes. A better spiking could be done if I checked over it. Edit: Unfortunately, besides the major issue of using the European version which costs you frames due to language selection (resyncing to the USA version would take time, the adjustment I made immediately dies in the next area) the input could be much more tighter in stages, and you should probably pay attention in the order that you kill the enemies as you can move onto the next screen faster due to it. Here's my input of just the first section for comparison which is just 85 frames faster (USA version), but it does add up over the ~25 minute TAS. You may want to have another look over at it again, and take your time, with all the tools available to you in BizHawk and use the userfiles. Go again when you've optimized all you can. And don't do full auto at the end of the first stage, and instead deliberately jump to attack the enemies jumping the vehicles.

What does Refresh do in the game?
Flash (and Ruffle) are able to retain the state of the game progression, and save the current progress. Refresh is abused to skip every single ending shown making it quicker to basically reset the game and "Load Save" in a sense.

I dunno-- 17 minutes is lower than 18 minutes.

Much like your previous submission on the site this is suboptimal. Here's my input of just the first level (again) for comparison. Please take your time and use the tools available to you in BizHawk and use the userfiles. Go again when you've optimized all you can.

the resolution is 2560x1792 which is not a 4:3 resolution.
That encode is a relic of the past and is using something extremely specific; yt:stretch=4:3. A tag that can no longer be used on modern YouTube videos, only older ones.

Here is my shotgun, and here is my painful wish of claiming it on publication.

So this is roughly a 28 frame improvement over the previous (excluding emulation differences). Correction. Roughly a 30 frame improvement since you compared to yourself, not the previous publication. I'm glad that you were able to find something out of it where movement is faster than hitting the select early.

I have an update for the submission file. Hopefully this addresses the mismatch issues and it has been updated for libTAS v1.4.4 as well as ruffle 2022-11-19.

With the acceptance of these fine four TASes we don't have to go far back to find another one that's recent, meaning it's optimal. Tic Tac Oh No. #7077: FractalFusion & Spikestuff's SNES Tic-Tac-Toe "Hard Mode" in 00:11.33

used SWF file provided by speedrun resources
That's not good. Mainly cause if this is a modified file from the version available on Newgrounds then we need to know what elements were removed (if any) from the srcom version. Especially if this will follow the repeat issues of previously submitted Newgrounds TASes. This is more of a Staff question. Even though as a standalone this is called "Fleeing the Complex" is it more fair to call it by the full title of Henry Stickmin 5: Fleeing the Complex?

Bandicoot Power~! Shame what happened with Rolling Stones which removes a level return (which is pretty awesome), but it was late in development, that the loss of it kinda shows the age of this TAS practically immediately, but all in all it's real great work implementing every known trick at the time. I'll be claiming the Bandicoot for Publication.

Only when it's abused. When it's not, it reaches a normal 300.

The game takes longer to "confirm" an answer when you shorten it. because of the perfect inputs possible in a TAS, typing a few extra letters can often cost less frames then the frames lost by those delays.
If I remember correctly, feos and Spikestuff provided proofs that word cuts do save time in previously rejected submissions.
Different game. Also this is something quickly validated, the truncating the words actually don't help in any way cause the game checks for it. It's only in the last question where truncating is actually worth anything.

Answers can be truncated. First game alone: TIME -> TIM NEWSWEEK -> NEWSW US NEWS -> USNEWS -> UNSE PEOPLE -> PEOP SENOR -> SEN MONSIEUR -> MISEUR -> MISE HAIR -> HAI MAMA -> MAM MILK -> MIL JOG 6 BULL -> BUL "2 controllers/players" is in my opinion an unimportant thing to mention, as the only thing player 2 is used for is inputting the family name as quickly as possible.

Same point that I had on Wordle.
