Can i use game esoterica else?
It strikes me that "full inventory" is incorrect: the inventory is already full if you get (e.g.) the first sword and shield, because the upgraded sword and shield replace those in the inventory.
Furthermore, this run obtains all hearts (which are not shown in the inventory)
does not obtain maps and compasses (which are shown in the inventory).
This TAS beats all known records.
What happened in those rooms? I discarded all the loading screens where possible btw.
I think "max%" is a better branch name than full inventory for this run
and I think "100%" is justified due to the fact that the game does not track skipped items uniquely from collected ones.

It could be argued that both versions are fine.
Before that, the starting address (Battle_Turn_Order) of the area to be corrupted is loaded:Language: asm005694: 23B1 move.l (A1,D3.w,4), (A1,D3.w) ; swap next fighter with current 00569A: 5843 addq.w #4, D3 ; do the same for next pair 00569C: 51CA dbra D2, $5694 ; decrement D2 and jump back to 005694 unless D2 is $FFFF
And so, corruption loops up to address $FFEFB0 + $55C + 4 = $FFF510. Then some more, but you get the idea. It's not a byte-wise shift. It copies over 4-byte chunks that 68K calls longs, and the offset is also 4 bytes. Now, should we call the glitch and this branch "long shift"? I don't think it tells anything helpful to the viewer either. I prefer "macro glitch". This seems to be the most important "feature" of the broken char. Does anyone want it to be something else?Language: asm00568A: 43F8 lea $FFFFEFB0.w, A1
Is this the "byte shift" glitch? I see memory corruption and then you save the game, reset, and continue. It looks like you're loading the corrupted save data and that's the main feature of the movie. Is that correct, or you might as well not save/load there and just keep playing, getting the same speedrun benefits?
[1765] GBA Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance "in bounds" by sksk1990 in 28:27.17 is slower than [1222] GBA Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance by klmz in 11:13.12 at the very beginning. If we cut klmz run as the wip, as the rule, it couldn't be accepted, but still be published.
While a few technical flaws, mostly during boss fights, can be spotted in the movie, the overall quality is good for a new-comer.
Even this run [2401] NES Super C "1 player" by Airwe in 12:29.63 made some big mistake, but still be published.
If Nach judge it, maybe it would be accepted, because of [2276] NES Super C "pacifist" by Heidman in 13:21.40 and #3762: Soig's NES Super C "pacifist" in 13:00.20.
[3513] NES Crash 'n' the Boys: Street Challenge "best ending" by Inzult in 08:10.86 The swim fight is not the biggest problem for more than 30 seconds slower than nico's run, and nico's is best ending, too.
[2128] NES Chack'n Pop by GeminiSaint in 06:55.63 This run broke the 2 rules, but it is very lucky to be published.
SuggestedScreenshot During "the big avalanche" in the second half of Course I or around Depth 1100 fts in Course J which shows some new strategy.
This is by no means a strict rule when it comes to unfinished WIPs beating finished runs but we want people to put in a basic amount of research when it comes to submitted TASes and that includes looking up any existing wips. EDIT: What I mean by "this is not a strict rule" is not to say we will be accepting of outright inferior play. What we strictly enforce is that a submission has execution on par with or superior to any known WIPs. It is to say that a wip that is faster than a submission up to a certain point through a trick that the submission was unaware of but the submission otherwise seems to do its due diligence and has higher execution of that of the WIP is not outright disqualified from acceptance. If the submission loses time in numerous places to a WIP then it is considered obsoleted by the WIP. What is considered a known WIP is what can be accessed through TASVideos forums, easily accessed through search engines, or otherwise readily available to the author. This is not a hard list, but can be considered a bare minimum. It is not expected that one dive through video sites for hours but one should put in some effort into research when making a submission.
