It sounds like you guys should frame-war over a simple track/mission until you have the optimal racing lines with quick dashing down pat.
The best proof of optimality is a time the other person can't beat, after all!
I guess I should say, content that affects how you interact with the game. So purely visual/audio changes not counting.
But if it gets harder, the TAS should stop when the difficulty will never increase again.
I'm more interested in the TAS stopping when there is no new content (difficulty stops increasing). e.g. if there was a Pac-Man [Arcade] TAS, I would want it to stop at the highest difficulty level rather than at the kill screen.
If there's no glitch or other gameplay (e.g. not including text/cutscene changes) difference that makes J faster than U, use U as per the site's guidelines.
There's no precedent for a TAS on tasvideos being accepted that uses TAS tools built into the game, rather than provided by a separate emulator (or Hourglass). For example, the answer to 'Can a Doom TAS using the in-game demo replay feature be submitted here' has always been 'no'.
I'd compare it to the sprite swap glitch of SMW, myself, where you can get the goal tape or a chuck on Yoshi's tongue because it is in the same slot Yoshi was trying to eat.
Bizhawk uses for its SNES core lsnes, which is extremely CPU intensive.
You can use snes9x 1.5x instead if your computer is too weak. Submissions on this emulator are accepted.
In that case, will you be timing out any of the stage 5 boss phases in hard, 2 player?
EDIT: And what is the criteria for getting the maximum amount of chains at the end of stage 3? You seem to take it rather leisurely.
There is a very large overlap between TASers and speedrunners. To me, it would be like saying someone who composes music in a DAW but can't play a song on an instrument live is not a musician. To me they still are, just a different kind.
