I'm aware of what the rule currently says, I'm just wondering if it makes sense.

You mean if you hit continue? It appears you still have space jump. This TAS kinda doesn't get much else though.
Not sure what happens if you hit continue after the good ending (assuming it lets you).

Does this improvement work on the emulator used for the previous submission (FCEUX 2.2.3)?

So some notes as to the two endings:
Bad ending does not have the true final boss
Bad ending leaves off with "Where is princess" indicating things might not actually be finished.
Good ending shows off the ingame time and percentage of mushrooms(?) collected whereas bad ending does not. Might be indicative that the game is only considered beaten if the good ending is achieved.
The RTA community has bad ending runs listed as any% (we often differ from their rules so this is a small note at most)
So far looking to me the game might not actually be finished with this but I'm not necessarily locked into this opinion.

We make our own video encodes for the publication.
EDIT: though it's worth noting that some publications have had encodes with lua scripts visible. Not sure on the exact policy on that though.

I'm interested in exploring this because the rules regarding cheats aren't entirely clear-cut and it is notably mentioned to not be strict. If this run had worse reception, I wouldn't be considering it at all.

So I talked it over and either 2. or 3. could be acceptable as both of these give a proper feeling of game completion. 2 feels more "legit" but 3 is kinda amusing. You expressed above 1 or 3 would be your preference, is that still the case? And can you provide a proper (actually fast) version of it?

Knight Final:
(EDIT removed old video link)
Might make another submission for this series.
EDIT: Found some small improvements:
Link to video
Not sure if I want to submit Knight like I did with Pawn. The way I currently have things setup, both Pawn and Knight are in the same bk2. In order to submit Knight, I'd have to remove the frames corresponding to Pawn. The problem is that I am using an older version of Bizhawk where mGBA tends to desync if you go back to Power On. This would make it a tad annoying to actually do. Still, I'll consider it.

So on the one hand, this quite obviously uses a code that to some degree makes the game easier. On the other, it honestly feels like the effects of said code should have just been an option to begin with rather than locked behind a code. It seems this code isn't uncommonly used in the fire emblem community for various things like Low Turn Challenges (LTCs) to reduce grinding required. I'm not quite sure how to handle this. Any additional thoughts?

What is number 1 on the list two frames slower than? I see it as the fastest on your list, yet it supposedly loses 2 frames?

So it seems to me that the two matters that are important are consistency and authenticity. Consistency indicates we probably want good ending for the TAS (or something resembling good ending), and authenticity indicates we want something that authentically beats the game. From that I'm leaning more towards 2 or 3.

I'm sure most of us have been stopped and questioned by the police at some point. When we haven't done anything wrong. In that situation I believe the onus is on you to know how to deal them. That way you get it over and done with quickly and don't get fined or arrested. If you don't, then either you don't have much sense; don't listen to anyone; your parents or school haven't taught you or worse your peers or other people have given you terrible advice which either leads to some altercation or getting arrested. Some of it I attribute to those ghetto Al Sharpton's online running their mouths off about how cops are gangsters; members of the KKK and are death squads for black people. If a black person chooses to believe that they're going to start acting up or evading them. Which could escalate to them getting killed.
Breonna Taylor was literally killed in her sleep, how are you supposed to act "differently" if you're not even conscious? And there are tons of times when people act appropriately, yet still get shot by the police.
The main issue caused here is women who're not trans, but cross dressers hiding in bathrooms so they can sexually assault other women. Fundamentally I don't like the idea of governments getting involved here dictating what's what. I went to a newly opened restaurant recently and noticed they had a half dozen individual cubical's. Makes me wonder if that debate had an influence here.
I have yet to see any evidence of this actually happening, the people that typically perform assaults in bathrooms don't care about any sorts of laws. They don't come up with fake gender identities in order to assault women. They simply try to force women one way or another, there's no need for them to hide behind an identity.

* The source of 'mental health issues' that plague trans people is, for the most part, caused by bigotry against transgender people and obstacles in their way against transitioning. Transitioning and being accepted as your new gender identity IS what lowers the suicide rate of transgender people. It's not some weird, inexplicable mental issue about transness that makes them want to commit suicide, it's society's judgement that causes the problem.
This to me amounts to "it's your fault they feel that way". Much of the time it was likely a bad and unnecessary decision to go trans that may lead to them feeling depressed or suicidal. Seeking good and confidential advice or counselling may have been a better decision.
Transition regret is extremely uncommon. As a trans person, my only real complaints are with how society treats people like me and with how annoying the process is. Ultimately a more fluid view of gender altogether would eliminate most regrets.
EDIT: Given how much gatekeeping is involved in the process of transitioning, typically only the most sure actually go through with it to begin with.

@Blazephlozard
You don't have to worry too much, there are measures in place to help trans people to deal with what they have to deal with. Per example:
- You don't have the right to change your gender before you are an adult (18 years old here). Helps to not make mistakes. If you feel you are not in the good body, you can take hormonal blockers when you are younger, making it not permanent in case you change your idea
I really don't know about so casually approving of puberty blockers. To tamper with the natural maturing of one's body just doesn't seem right. And I just cannot see how you could know that change is right for you before you even know about sex. Saying "you have to be 18" followed by saying a major body change you can do before being 18, kinda defeats the point of wanting these decisions to be made at a certain level of maturity.
I feel like I can be swayed into approving of them, because I do know there's good scientific studies out there, proving it's all reversible, but there is still a strong moral objection there that many many people rightfully will have no matter what. Pushing something like puberty blocking into the mix of trans rights just pulls away from all the trans rights that are direly needed, like it being legal to kill someone over their bits.
Puberty blocking simply delays puberty, it doesn't prevent it forever. If one later on decides they want to go through their natural puberty, they can. Puberty is the thing that is actually permanent and irreversible, not puberty blockers.
And yeah this is fairly offtopic but I felt the need to clarify some things. This should be moved.
