Coin management is also another thing the TAS might have to do as well to reduce the coin bonus, as well as the free puppies bonus.
The Puppies one can be avoided, but the coin one is harder to route around, especially with the lack of knowledge I have, but the lack of information being provided here.
54 frame improvement out of Stage 3. Stage 3 also uses the original input from this submission on 3 - 4, adjusting one thing slightly.
I've now adjusted more than half this TAS, and I need to emphasize this. Stage 1 isn't optimal.

I was not involved until just now.

Here's an entire section about this in BootlegGames.
Unfortunately for you this game has 5 stages if I'm not mistaken.
And there could be arguments to never get this published due to what could be the controversial image.
So no, I still don't like watching this movie.

Comparatively without that "disadvantage", it would be a 14.58, an improvement over the previous submission:
Link to video
Also don't worry about "plagiarism" as much. I guess?
A Judge can probably explain this bit better, cause I know I wouldn't be able to.

I feel it'd be courteous if Spikestuff is given co-authorship here.
And personally, even though I know input that I helped provide as an improvement for Pepper is being used without credit, it would be nice if the final result was actually optimal (-24f out of Level 2, possibly still improvable).

it would also kinda suck to force the author to do even more work,
Porting this TAS to BizHawk would be much more preferable, and it doesn't have to be the author who's "required" to do it, in your words.
Community work is a thing. People are allowed to port someone else's work and take secondary credit where need be
The project should be mostly salvageable to keep Noxxa's name as an author without them needing to update the title themselves.

What does that mean?
If you've TASed libTAS in conjunction with MAME you would know you would have to make two saves at least on the first time when creating the movie.
I don't know what the actual reasoning is (because I keep forgetting), but it basically starts a new thread(?) so you can't return to an earlier sequence of your input.

And then go into that newly extracted file to .\usr\bin\ to fish-out flycast.
Within libTAS to boot into game you just write the cue file of the title, in my case that would be:
"Charge "N Blast (USA).cue"
Pros:
Has Controller Support
Can Pause
Can Turbo
Can Rerecord (drop a save immediately).
Can Dump Video
Cons:
Can't Dump Audio

i think tas length should have a limit of 24 hours.
I believe you should watch yourself before you gate off several communities at once because of your thoughts.
As I said in my previous post on the topic. Baten Kaitos 100% is an infamous two week speedrun. Tears of the Kingdom 100% is above 24 hours at the current time of writing.
TASVideos will not gatekeep a full completion, not now, not ever.

"Pretty simple" is an understatement, cause it isn't.
There's a lot of RNG at play, a lot of things that need to be accounted for (positioning and timing), and bioses that need to be dealt with which gives different seeds.

Dr. Raymond Burr was modified so updated userfile.
System time was changed from 7 to 3 to deal with the buttons.
Modification done due to Newground API shenanigans still being a thing. So whoops.

Done from scratch: User movie #638298571590604477.
Thanks to rythin for proving a more preferable System Time. This won't be submitted in its current state as it's not the best that can be dealt with.
For example if I even out my points where I should've biased towards Strength and Intelligence making it a 10/14/14 this would've removed 4 sleeps.
One last thing I noticed between this and yours is that there's one more thing that could've been done.
At the roulette table you select the number, then spin. It's faster to spin then select the number.

Right. Things that I've noticed and unfortunately can't fix.
The major issue is (and why I can't fix it) is your framerate's wrong. The game runs at 35fps not 30fps.
The second issue is when you're doing your generative stats you could muck around with System Time instead and see if that gives you anything close to preferable as a starting stat.
Mucking around and setting the System Time to 28 gave me 5 / 9 / 10 with 9 Extra Points. Which when used can give me 9 / 10 / 14, similar to what you have but with an extra stat in Intelligence.
However this also brings to question of "isn't it better to even all these out to the same stat if you're going to sleep grind +1 to get the stats you need, and the lowest having the most issue?" this is due to the job hunt being done at the end of the movie and the stats requirement of being President being at or above 666.
Your naming input, something I generally personally ignore can be fixed up.
Now I don't know why this first part doesn't work in Linux, but it works in Windows. You can do Ctrl+A and redo that instead of manually backspacing 8 characters.
But, if you have a look at Don't Shit Your Pants or Thy Dungeonman input string can be done in one line, meaning in theory you can have all that backspace in a single line, but also the rest of your alias "[A]hym" be done in that same single frame instead of it being spaced out along with that Done input. This affects any time you manually put in cash for stocks.

It looks like you overgrinded at the Casino. Probably something that can be simply patched.
To refer to this comment. Doing all the necessary gambling you have to do once is better than backtracking and completing it a second time.
If you know how much money you need at early game in a single trip, it's better to aim for that instead.
I voted Meh previously mainly for the downtime sections being flashing lights, but if I could now I would Abstain the vote if I knew what I learnt.
This is a good opener of a Submission but much more can be done fixed, patched and understood upon for this title.

Location of the first tape moved due to this modification so updated userfile.
Location changed from in the bathroom, to being inside the Lab.

It's even more apparent when the other movie is branched appropriately since the day the pre-mentioned titles had their exploitive ways approved for the site.
This submission has basically been given the green-light to exist alongside the other one.
