We're going to be moving forward with the separation policy that the majority of the community voted for, but to everyone who voted against it or might still be on the fence, I'd just like to pose these questions again before we do so:

Is there a breaking point? Is there something we are doing or have talked about doing that actually goes too far? Are we going to actively lose TASers and/or runs by sticking to separation?
I'll give it a few days before we go ahead and make it official, assuming nothing drastic comes up during that time.
My concern is labeling what is not the fastest version of a run as the fastest version of a run, so i'll only comment the specific case if I see something that is confusing in the labeling. Besides that, I tried all i could and let's move on with this change as you guys wish. I wish you all a great week and let's keep TASing all over the place.

This weekend i managed to improve City stage for Any% and I also started a TAS for 100% which seems to much easier to beat the RTA times,
ANY% WIP:
https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638505530247434245
Ruins also TASed but isn't fast enough and will have to be redone
100% WIP:
https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638505713518392331
I'll check if i can improve the metal knuckles ending before continuing with Retire trick.
I plan on encoding later eventually. I can't believe I'm having progress in this honestly, I never thought I'd have enough TASing skill to actually produce something good for such a highly competitive game.
100% old wip:

Baten Kaitos 99% (obtain everything but magnus that can only be obtained by aging other magnus, get Shampoo as soon as possible and minimize menu time that doesn't count towards aging) seems arbitrary, but is functionally identical to 100% just minus a week long wait at the end.
According to GameFAQs the PAL version of Soul Calibur 2 has lets you glitch the PAL 60 option for super fast gameplay. I can't find any footage for this, but if true and Dolphin can accurately replicate it, it should be some fun TASing. Also Charade (who randomly uses a different character's moveset every fight) exists. While he needs to be unlocked, he would be prime choice for a playaround TAS.

nice TAS! i recommend playing chopper attack if you haven't, that would a make for a great TAS as some of the missions are really short if you just focus on the goal, it was really nice going suicidal in some of them

I'm not being agressive about anything, I just expressed a feeling, I'm not writing any curse word, i'm not saying the people who do this or think that are evil, it's not an insult to believe someone is not interested or dislike opinions. I understand you don't want to discuss this anymore because you already voted.
I also apologized twice to spike, which obviously she is not obliged to accept, but that has nothing to do with the subject so carry on (or not) if you guys think there anything else to contribute (or not).
Honestly, I don't feel comfortable commenting anything nowadays on the site.

I did a little searching into the profiles and I noticed something very clear from the start. The only who are being affected by this rule in this voting were the specific people that voted against the ruling that was passed. Only me and Spike, i looked over all your TASing movies and got this result:
Me and Spike are the only fighting games TASers for speed. The only people that voted against.
Feos, Samsara, Coolhandmike do not TAS fighting games, but TASed beat'em'ups.
Slamo, Fortran, DrD2k9, DigitalDuck, Tompa, Chanoyu, oceanbagel don't TAS any of these, they also do not TAS racing games either. Nobody in this voting TASes racing games,
Mario Kart Double Dash and Wii fans, and the FZero X and GX fans would be affected as well. Of course nobody here TASes either games as well.
So basically this is the equivalent of inviting 12 politically not interested people and 2 politically interested people to vote for laws that only affect those 2 interested people.
I could give a more specific example with politically charged issues but I don't want to derail this. I just wanted to vent out how bad i feel about being a major contributor, along Spike obviously, and having my vote crushed by the uninterested party.
player TAS fighter? TAS beatemup? vote
kusoge yes yes obsolete
spike yes yes obsolete
samsara no yes no
slamo no no no
fortran no no no
feos no yes no
DrD2k9 no no no
DigitalDuck no no
Tompa no no no
Chanoyu hasnt published anything
oceanbagel no no no
coolhandmike no yes no

not sure but the more i think about it, the time it could gain would be negligible unless you have some very absurd pokemon, like amazing speed and movesets, it should go a lot similar when compared to the current strats for the gym leader castle

where do i change languages for snk games in arcade bizhawk? i completed a TAS for fatal fury 3 in which the ending doesn't play if you're playing in english, I tested the date theory (over 2k years is not the cause of the glitch) but that didn't work out at all.
to be clearer the game is completed normally, but the ending can't be seen unless i play in japanese:

i think it should be a setting but it's not there somehow

Lars Hendrick / Nelson already did his first complete TAS, i'll try setting up to test speed oriented strategies.

how is throw doing so much damage? 98%
@Arist_Leo

When you start the game, hold down WP and WK and press the start button to start the game in a special mode.
For Karin, Vega, and Guy, the attack power of some techniques will increase.

On the title screen, hold MP + MK and press Start. Release all the buttons, and select any character and ism, and the L.O. icon should appear between Super Meters in battle. In Maji Mode, you can only lose one round before it's Game Over. All opponents must be beaten the normal number of times.

and finally the worst offender?

i dont know if this is clear enough so i'll post here to reinforce it, the verification movie produces a raw memorycard file named MOVIEA as a memcard that isn't the normal one, so i had to rename this to MEMORYCARD.USA raw file to use it for the actual TAS movie. The last thing the movies does is unlock liu kang but it's the old konquest TAS and then item collection, which is down in the link below to see what it looks like.
The last part of the verification movie looks like this sped up:

1 I literally just turbo A in those sections, i really didn't bother
2 I learned that this mechanic existed only on Cream Story lol, but yeah fair enough
3 I also didn't know that as well
4 I'm aware but this limits CPU speed, the real reason for equipping cards is for Emerl's partner behavior, I strongly disagree here
5 Mistake really, the RNG in this game is very set i believe it's like set when starting the game as no actions seem to change the drops for 3 to 4 fights later, never tested a whole story later though
6 No, there was a tremendous lack of cooperation in the fights i forego that, but what really would save a lot fo time in the first 4 chapters would be Walltech instead of guard which gives more meter earlier, but trades HP for tht extra meter so it can't be abused all the time, all Stories before Amy would have multiple faster section by using the best possible Walltech setups which is: get hit by a bouncing move, wall tech for extra meter, and cut the wallbounce jump short like Emerl does in the later parts of the TAS. Obivously limited by health, but here and there would speed up all fights with some 1 or 2 faster instakills.
7 Lol.
I appreciate your thoughts about this TAS, and might add as well, explore a lot of the walltech cut short to improve mostly the early parts of this TAS. I would gladly watch your WIPs to comment in some fights if you're willing to share videos with inputs or moviefiles. I sincerely hope you're able to get the Ultimate Air Action to kill Rouge and Eggman and the earliest Knux or Cream Heals as well.
I'll be looking forward for your runs as well.

"Did you discuss things with Blazingmo at all prior to posting this?" No.
It's however mentioned at the current Deadly Alliance TAS that a more optimal run would be produced through a verification movie. The player knew it was suboptimal but decided not to go through with attempting a faster run.
A trouble the player decided to avoid due to bad experiences like i'm having now in my MK Deception TAS which has like an hour long verification with much more risk of not syncing. just to get better stage selection and the exact same character saving a lot of time.
I'm glad Wario Land 4 Zipless got accepted btw.
I took my time before answering this because the conversation really tips me off the wrong way, I feel like the suggested change to the rules in my perceptions subtracts the value of the research and routing of using or not a SRAM unlocked characters in the discussed TASes, it seems like the participants consider it trivial to go through the hassle of adhering to site rules and producing verification movies when in fact it is not. It's the constant risk of having the runs disqualified for some bizarre technicality, much bigger risk of not syncing the runs and now it's not even going to be considered an improvement to the "easier to make" runs. Again, I feel stupid doing the best I can to get fastest possible run published here when it's not considered the best there really for that specific category. I could just have sticked to the "second best easier to publish" really. People insist on the new game plus concept but these games are no RPGs, they're games which are supposed to have its competition all with full roster
enabled and no divisions by which is initially available or not. Unlockables are the artificial way of expanding gameplay time in these titles.
Tool Assisted "Second best easier to publish" movies is something i thought about later after writing this.

i desynchonize gamma kills for more meter
if they die simultaneously i can only block the post death explosion once
but if they're desync'd they allow me to double the meter gain by blocking the the post death explosion 2 times
special move spam is unfortunately faster than other interestin strats
i chose the wrong language unfortunately, but at least i can understand which type of skill Emerl is acquiring exactly
allies stopping enemy knockback, instakilling enemies and helping with damage can change the most optimized strats on the fly

for TAS i do believe that liu kang is probably the fastest, since RTA doesn't input bike kicks perfectly but still all the other optimizations would have to be done
