I find it somewhat dubious. The little "copyright" blurb seems more like an easter egg if anything, and the game itself doesn't look like it ends.
"Seems like" isn't an argument. If there's a closer completion point, it must obsolete that run. If not, this one is the fastest, hence vaultable.

Either way, even if this would be considered a vaultable ending, it's still wrong to publish it with a non-vault branch name. At best, it's misleading about what branches are accepted in Vault and what not.
We don't have a vault branch name, neither do we have a non-vault one, since "fastest possible" is not marked by having no branch. I can't search through the Vault movies, since the page is broken, but there definitely are runs with labels that indicate that the run does something specific, like "first enemy wave", or something of that fashion. Those runs have labels just to tell that it's not a traditional completion that would work for other games. Anyways, "game end/warp glitch" runs are still vaultable, despite of having a branch.

Vault accepts fastest runs of alternate game modes.
for games with separate, independent level sets (modes, episodes) officially available from start, each level set can have its TAS in Vault.
In BB2, the Slash mode is unlockable from the start.

If something is otherwise unlockable, the cheat code doesn't simplify the action, or even increases the difficulty, surely that cheat code can be used. Yes, I didn't read the thread.

What exactly are you saying? I'm saying that some games have a max score goalset that is still vaultable.

I'm mostly asking the guys who wanted the upper-screen-only additional encode.

Yeah, only tell us the checksums of the DSP files you are using (Dolphin\Sys\GC).

For me the second movie desyncs already at 21k frames... He picks the cat and then misses the zombie twice.

Re: Encoding.
What if I just stick them horizontally, won't it be enough?

You mean we should publish this run as is? It'd make sense to wait at least until you finish testing.

Didn't read the thread, but if considering the hotkey approach, just print a hotkey for each menu item that has/allows it, don't remove the menus, both camps will be happy.

Should I set the submission to Delayed?

Doesn't look like that tag would get a clear definition. Because side/arbitrary/special is too subjective. This is the exact reason the Demo tier didn't fly.

Fog is our new publisher, and he's already handling Dolphin quite well!

The only lucky pattern of the knife bitch is exactly when it was. This is why 2 pixels I saved earlier didn't help. Because spawning her at 7964 is the only way. I went by falfpixels until that point now, and here it is.

Scumtron, tell us more about "making enemies fall from platforms"! That particular case doesn't help, but overall it can be useful.

So I reencoded this run using the stable and updated techniques. There are still a few issues, like some dead sound effects, but overall it's a huge improvement over how it was done. No more black flashes, amount of missing sounds was reduced very much.
Now I really don't feel like improving it further, because other games don't desync every few seconds, and artifacts aren't so frequent.

Does anyone else think it should obsolete both existing runs? Given the objectives of this one, it looks sane, even though I don't know Metal Slugs well.

Welcome back with great surprise TAS jaysmad! In the previous run you used hardest difficult, why you use easiest on this run? (only for curiosity). Deserves a moon tier by effort to control 2 players and some good features
