Even better, you could have copy and pasted the trick info listed in Spike's reply for even less effort and even less time.
Yeah and even I said (emphasis mine):

Some of the explanations are in the previous rejected cause cheats submission: #6128: itsPersonnal's GC SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom "In-Game Codes" in 02:06.08. But to move it here and with next to no knowledge on the title you get me explaining stuff after being informed on stuff. Information taken from the SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom community homepage. You being a user who has great knowledge behind the title. I expect a better summary and more information explaining each of these tricks when you do write 'em.
As well as:

There are TAS exclusive glitches to the title that either doesn't have proper documentation or has none. You really owe us an explanation on these glitches cause I got the bare minimum but that's not good enough for something this dense. For example the Spatula Animation that's being performed is different to that of Skip, but is similar to Overlap when you were going through the Graveyard portion.
But hey, they don't care about the game at all, their attitude and actions over the past few weeks now:

Then prove it wrong by writing the information of what tricks I'm missing out then.
Cause right now, you're still proving me right after all these weeks as you work on Metroid Prime I should note. You are still making excuses to not do a write up. All you're doing here, by arguing in here in the submission forums is that you have the necessary time to actually write a valid submission text. So write the submission text. All you're doing here, by actually working on Metroid Prime is that you actually have quite an amount of time to be actually able to write a valid submission text. Let's say that's about 6.5 hrs on routing, and stuff and showcasing work on Twitch and Twitter... and I'm being generous, cause obviously you know that number would be higher since you work offline as well and post work on Twitter once in a while instead of streaming the content. You have the time. Quit circling about. Oh right, something I should've brought up previously but didn't cause you were just making excuses. You failed on all fronts explaining the Dolphin set of instructions that you were completely able to do last time.
Please include the following in your submission additionally to the ones stated above: • If your version is patched in any way, provide a link to the patches or entire source code. Ask the one who provided you with the binaries, if you don't know how to do that. • A checksum of your ISO (SHA1 recommended). • Newer Dolphin versions come with free dsp_*.bin files required for DSP LLE emulation; did you use these or the console ones (i.e. did you have to download the two dsp_*.bin files yourself from a non-Dolphin site)?
Now if you're going to post in the forums and make more excuses again let me cherry pick what I wrote in this comment I made today.

If you have time here to complain, and not update submission text with the necessary information. Do us a favor and don't waste our time by writing nonsensical comments.

When comparing the two console versions of Wipeout XL/2097 the Saturn version performs worse to that of the PlayStation version and it has worse loads. It might be a different story in the emulation world but that's the facts, not even an explination here to why you're using the Saturn version. You're also using the Europe release of the Saturn version and not the Japanese release and not explaining why you're taking that hit either.

The TAS does this already: Bramble Scramble & Slime Climb. Tem's even explaining in that clip that she learnt this speedtech from speedrunners and wanted to try it herself.

Good run, long loads. Ignoring the loads my vote would be Meh regardless. Glad that the first title is done now. Claiming for Publications.

Yeah that's an emulator hack like how the extra resolutions to DOOM is not accurate to real DOS version. So it would not be used. Ever. You can use it for your temp encodes. But no it's very experimental, and not worth it with visual glitches to do temp encodes when the site is dedicated to gotta go fast.

Light Spike of 57 frames of extra input left behind by the author. There is some menuing issues present in the input, but not like other Rookies where they mash through the stuff, this one takes it time. Just for future reference, cycle through using the 1 and 2 buttons after every menu. Not providing a patch up cause it desyncs at Foot Bag and there was actual time spent behind the input by planning stuff ahead and deliberately.

Right forgot to explain a thing here when I provided my input. How did I save 4 frames? Well I avoided collecting a star and decided to kill the enemy sooner. This is the issue of directly copying input without adjusting anything instead the last 29 seconds of the movie is just new input. What's the star for? Well if you watch the Publication the stars are used for Tutorial progression. Collecting all the stars will open the door and end the section. Now does the star do anything in this situation? No, killing sooner is still important that killing later. Now I mentioned this already, but to reiterate my input is not the be all end all and was also rushed basically the same day this submission came through to inform Meerkov of a "hey, check input that you copied" and provided what I did in private. This is why I don't want my input used because it much like the submission was rushed out to give an more can be done, even if not much since this TAS was made the same week as the RTA community found this oob and geg glitch. Edit: And I mean it when I mentioned my input was still not good enough. Still not good enough regardless, rather scrap the input made and just deal out a more acceptable enemy pattern but this is still better than not preventing Harry to grab that Star.

Oh the thing I've been waiting for so long to finally end the available game series. A nice, simple... visual glitches and alternative script game. Claiming for Publication. I'll get back to you on entertainment later.

Okay but did you really need to vote 0 on this TAS for both technical and entertainment??
I mean after being bullied and harassed by one of the authors (which can be found easily) I think there's a fair justification for actually lowering it (cause it used to be slightly higher).

Here's my input it save 4 frames the author is already aware of this input. (made in 2.6) Calling for the delay/cancellation of the submission if my input is used even if mirrored. The author is dealing with IRL stuff atm which is why they didn't do anything, they've had my input since the day it was submitted to work on further. For a 3 minute movie that copies input from a movie that's from 2015 stuff can be milked further down. I don't have the time or effort to care about this no matter what someone says to me in DMs. Edit: Also here's another set of input that avoids using DaJaWi's input outright (which again the author Meerkov is well aware about) and has a different enemy layout (which can be manipulated) that can also be looked into milking down the time.

Yes, I know it's another hack. I'm (and DaSmileKat for that matter) just letting you know what it has to beat.

On the type of hack it is it would have to beat: [2627] NES Hard Relay Mario by HappyLee in 08:14.95 (The TAS that DaSmileKat is referring to in their post)

Light Spike to correct the 13100 frames of blank input (without changing the rerecord count). Oh and claiming for publication if it's acceptable.

Unfortunately for me I'm one of the people who got it to sync. Unfortunately for me that means I'm going to be publishing this when it gets accepted. Sync Requirements: intel 7k to 11k iGPUs that are using UHD. Resolution must be set to 320x240 in order to sync.

Given that 10 years have already passed and the full TAS hasn't been built yet, I would just abandon it because procrastination usually doesn't give a positive result or it won't live up to the expectations.
I have projects hitting their 5th year in development (heck this was 4 years old finally being submitted and published). So I'll keep this comment nice and simple. Apologize. You're being rude and disingenuous. Just because people are dedicated to a project doesn't mean you should badmouth their project.

Abstaining vote but it won't stop me to write the important thing. I absolutely dislike the fact that you used the easiest difficulty in chess instead of demolishing and manipulating a harder difficulty.

Well if you want me to be accurate about dating. How about the entire time you've been working on the TAS? You know back in August you stated that you were halfway done with the TAS, I mean you could've had a draft written up at that point for some of the glitches that were done. Oh also you mentioned that there's desync issues in that half way done post, how's that going for ya did it sync without any issues, or states that had to be loaded? You know, we've been in this pandemic for a year now, so if you seriously want me to be accurate about dating, literally any time you were working on the TAS would've worked for providing information about glitches.

I don't have that kind of time -nor in my approximation should such a lengthy writeup be required to enjoy the movie.
Coming from the person that had this uploaded since October 14th 2020 and had the encode prepped well beforehand now that's just a lazy excuse.

If you'd personally like to TAS this game and seek more info, perhaps ask in the community discord?
What because you're unable to inform of the actual glitches in something that you had 3 months to write up? This is literally as I wrote a "submit and run" which is very disappointing to see. Actually bother instead of making up excuses or use that time you're using in the forum posts to actually explain them. You mustn't care about the game after all.

Gonna go ahead and give this an encode anyway
Don't cause the user has their own account where they do it. Let them encode their own runs if they want to violate the limited status. ----- KietTezend you need to prove that you have improved by working harder on it. From what I saw in the first level you slew down, you went slow at certain sections, that's all I watched of it honestly. On an assumption there will be improvements hidden within your inputs. One other thing look at the character combos and see which two are great together. Find who run the fastest together for instance instead of someone who's lagging behind, or someone who has faster shooting. You may be tightening up input in a 2D game slowly overtime which is good. But how you going at 3D? Don't you believe that you can trim down further and further with your input instead of going "one and done"? Also to help you here's a heads up for controls and how to have things set up. If you're not using a memory card, disable it, if it's faster to go through menus with it on enable only 1 memory card slot, for this game. Disable them. Since this game is 2D put both controllers on Gamepad not DualShock. I showed you this with my input in the game section please use that.

Majority of this input is based on DaJaWi's work they need to be credited as the author.
<Spikestuff> Meerkov: how much of your input is based on DaJaWi's work?
<Meerkov> Most of it
<Meerkov> I tightened up everything, and resynced it to the new core
<Meerkov> the major change happens when the new glitch happens
Edit: Input is improvable as a note to which I have passed the input along. It's if Meerkov would return to it or not is the next question.

Pretty sure it's documented somewhere. But Mario and Luigi have different jump heights and speed values iirc.
