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.

Headbanging was hilarious! I may tweak it a bit when applying the post-boss dances though.

Do you differentiate internal side goals present in the game and arbitrary ones the author imposes? It may make sense to add a tag for the latter.

I really don't see the point of a poll like this if you're just going to badger the people who disagree with you, and then implement your own ideas regardless of what anyone else says.
I was badging Nach for implementing something whose significance (and need for it) is still not proved. I can't implement anything related to that myself, neither do I badger anyone else (there's just no reason for that). The point of this poll was to know how significant/needed that particular movie tag was in the first place. The results tell something about it.
And yes, why going personal too?

I consider them all (and L+R) valid. See here why.

I said enough times how "clear" is subjective.
Radiant wrote:
"Major skip glitch" strikes me as very similar to "major glitch abuse", and both of those are subjective, and not applied consistently.
So you don't think when majority of the game is skipped needs a tag? No problem. But as I said, "heavy glitch abuse" is usually understood as not as heavy as skipping to game end. ACE and game end skips make that tag somewhat "medium glitch abuse" now. True, it was heavy when it was added. Now that level of glitchiness isn't maximal.

Sounds similar to my case. It just refused to do it no matter what I tweak. Maybe software/hardware/drivers are involved.

If adelikat thinks boss skips should be tagged as "Major skip glitch", then it's a subset of another idea.

This is the exact argument that subsets and supersets are not equal, thank you for making my point for me.
Yeah, except we are talking about 2 different tag pairs. I'm saying that the idea under "Heavy glitch abuse" is different from "Major skip glitch". If the difference isn't expressed well enough, we should improve the names.
And yes, skipping a boss still feels like the same glitchiness level as floating OoB. They both are included into the idea that "Heavy glitch abuse" always used to represent.

What is your answer to this question: why wouldn't we tag all kinds of glitch abuse that exists?
If it's a significant kind of glitch abuse that is present in several runs, it should be subject to the 3 criteria I listed earlier. If it passes, it should be tagged.
1) Does it provide useful information that is not implied by other tags?
"Heavy glitch abuse" term doesn't address any of the methods that we actually use within that glitchiness level. Does it mean none of them is implied and we must add them all?

It is only as valid as left+right and pressing a button at 30 fps is.

It doesn't need any purpose to be posted on forums in a related thread. The question is, is it related here? I think it is.
It would only need a purpose to be published along with other official links we usually provide. It doesn't pretend on that, does it?

I don't accept the argument that a near superset means the smaller entity should be removed. If I did accept the argument, then I'd have to go one stop further and notice that Heavy glitch abuse is also a near superset of Major skip glitch.
Let's actually examine that assumption. As of now, "Major skip glitch" is technically a part of "Heavy glitch abuse". But in fact, how people percept the idea of "Heavy glitch abuse" is similar to how our movies looked before "instant skips to game ends" became popular. Floating out of bounds is a heavy glitch abuse. That may be a general answer to some layman that might ask what is it. And when someone imagines "instant skip to end", it feels somewhat bigger of an abuse than we usually do here. Hence it needs a bigger name.
If you approach to it this way, these 2 tags express different things, different levels of glitch abuse. If they don't, some of them may be tweaked.
