You know what. I'm not shocked you created another submission. I knew you had this hidden in your pants since you did bring up that you were going to "TAS" this game. You were warned on multiple occasions, but you never chose to read the advice and take it.

This is your second submission which is barely optimized. This is unacceptable. If you simply search for a place to share your movies, use the userfiles section. The game itself lacks the quality to be accepted to this site. Read the Movie Rules if you haven't already. Be careful about submitting multiple obviously bad runs. You will receive a submission ban if you continue.
Now those are the two that appeared on TASVideos. Here are the ones from TASVideos Discord. (emphasis on this one, I also wrote this bit 3 times)

Hey itsameMario203 if you submit too many low quality TASes and not listen to our advice in uploading this to: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/my#uploadfile You will become a limited user and unable to submit TASes. Oh actually. I apologize. No one apparently pointed you to that area. Now you've been pointed to that area.
(I was referring to how no one made a post about it. Only Masterjun as a Judge has posted it whilst rejecting.) ---

itsameMario203 TASing isn't a one day thing, when you go "I'VE DONE GAME IN ONE DAY, I SUBMIT." It's more like, weeks to months to years on working on the game, depending on the game and how much technical stuff lies within it. You need to understand honestly, otherwise you're gone. You're on the warning and I've done my needed "what you need to do." Which I'm going to reiterate a third time.
You should at least ground yourself on knowing how to TAS.
Half assing a TAS which is slower than something that exists in the form of RTA or TASing (or even a longplay). Seriously, ground yourself and learn. Don't spew garbage. Or are you going to ignore it?

The span between my post and his was just under 5 hours >A day passes with no submission, nor userfile upload from him on that game. >The next day comes with a submission on this game. --- You deserve every right in having your submission status revoked and becoming a limited user. Especially after not reading into what was advised for you to do instead. Those two TASes that I linked weren't there for show, it was there to show you the damn movement tech. Tried to save your status, but instead you didn't take any of this to heart for whatever damn way you had. Enjoy being unable to submit anything, and enjoy using the userfile area the place that you were told to actually use but didn't.

Anyway I’ll give it a yes vote, mostly for the submission text.
Sorry, but I got to do this to you.
Did you find this movie entertaining?
The submission text only explains the lowdown on what's going on.

http://tasvideos.org/SiteLicense.html http://tasvideos.org/Nach/FairUse.html You can contact them and state that you already uploaded your own videos to your own YouTube account and you don't want to miss out on the views or whatever. Some listen, others don't. Oh well not the end of the world. Mainly just care if they're a partnered YouTube account and monetizing off of your work and act like they're in the right. (IT'S GREAT WHEN YOU BLEED OVER AN ENCODE FOR A PUBLICATION AND SOME SNOOZLE JUST COMES IN AND RAKES IN THE CASH.) As a note: TASVideosChannel (us) Publishes your movies for a global community and we get absolutely nothing in return. Account's not even partnered or anything. (someone else can explain this better)

I wrote this twice on IRC and didn't bother writing about it in the forums. A suggestion I have is to keep both Red and Blue as they're different enough through each colorblindness and replace Green with White. Since Green and Red blend with each other it was pretty much down to Tritanopia and seeing what that affects which is making Green, Aqua. So in a sense. Just replacing Green with a colorblind friendly color like White would be a bit more suitable on the eyes. This suggestion also works better compared to any other as it's just modifying the script to change Green to White instead of creating/grabbing something else and fixing that up.

Light Spike. 1476 frames of blank input removed. "trollburner_demo.nes" So this isn't the final game. Edit: Forgot that I didn't place my vote or thoughts. This is suboptimal in a good amount of places even when it's a TAS that's under 2 minutes. My vote on Entertainment is Meh, but more can be shaved off from the TAS.

Maybe the submission warning should be more clear? A lot of newbies tend to submit sub-optimal movies.
And I quote. (including bold)
Please read the Submission Instructions before submitting a movie. In particular, please ensure that your movie is complete (not a work in progress), and that it beats all known records if going for speed. Works in progress may be posted in the WIP thread or other places. If you are simply looking for a place to store your movie files for distribution to other members, please consider user files. Ignoring these instructions may result in your submission being rejected.
Also down below when you first have to preview the comments then be able to save (submit) To quote (and again in bold, because that's how it addresses it.)
Before pressing the Save button, please verify that you have read the Movie Rules and Guidelines. Your movie must be complete and must beat all existing records where applicable. Submissions that do not follow these rules will be rejected. This submission form is only for movies that are intended to become a publication on this site. Do not submit if this is not your goal. If you simply want to upload a movie file, use userfiles instead.
Not our fault people can't read. IMO. I think after every fullstop should be another line break in order to flow a bit better... and take up more space. Then again, that's how I actually type on this site so a bit bias. Unless you know... YOU WANT SOME LARGER TEXT ON TOP OF THAT BOLD? THAT'S IN RED (That's size 18^, Forums is 12, Front site/submitting is 14.)

There's about 155 frames of blank input at the end that should've been trimmed off that wasn't (according to just input). Sonic. Much like Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Mega Man, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro is a game that is very high in terms of tech. 794 Rerecords for a 30 minute Sonic movie is questionable. You're slower than every single speedrun category in this hack. Branch Explanation for everyone else. It shouldn't be a Branch. "Team Megamix" is the crew behind the hack.

Reading the setup Thank you for the more extended version of an explanation that gifvex's Blue didn't write. ...Also this means we're going to have a few GB/C Pokemon TASes coming out within this week aren't we? I'm going to have a fun time publishing all this Pokemon! (Will vote after watching this.)

A Console Verified encode ey? And this would be the third GBC-GBA TAS. Only that the prior two actually used the "enhanced" to unlock a hidden character whereas this uses it for simpler verification. Still don't like the "cause RTA community" excuse being the reason it was used, you did expand on it with an actual explanation so whatever. He's my Yes. Here's my claim for Pubs for when it gets accepted. (cause it's Pokemon)

Well like zeromus wrote it doesn't. If you want pseudo like. (Make sure you're running a PS1 game first) PSX > Options > Mednafen Mode (4:3 AR) > Horizontal Overscan Clipping: Clip to Framebuffer Config > Display > User Prescale: 1x > Hq2x (Yup) Final Filter: None or Bilinear Then just use the internal View > Window Size for what you want. Alternatively go grab libretro/RetroArch and use their Mednafen/Beetle PSX HW core (or the Mednafen/Beetle PSX – PGXP core) if you want mednafen to have upscaling.

Doesn't put his hand up in being shocked an improvement came through. You know. When you're mainly the soul Publisher to a single game you can notice something. For instance. Everytime I deal with Super Metroid, and I place the TAS information from Zebes I have to push the subs to appear later to one of the previous movies that's there as a template. I reckon-- unless it did get patched up, that pre-Zebes is hiding a minor improvement. Here's the Yes. Here's the shotgun for Publication.

ViGadeomes what Kasha asked was if they should've just gone with a submission replacement instead of a new submission. Honestly that's up to you Kasha it just means you have to wait longer cause you cancelled and created a new submission. (Then again, no Judge is Judging anything atm) Considering what happened between this new submission and the older one I say you did the right choice on creating a new submission judging from the changes. I'm going to vote Meh for the Entertainment.

As stated by natt, these are following very random set of tests. When accounting for the full list like Mesen. BizHawk is within the 90% range with those tests (last updated 18th June 2017). (Also puNES is around 80% since you did show it off in your little video there.) Also 2 things. What version of Hawk? Did you check QuickNES core? (Or are you accidentally using QuickNES.)

So... You're using an outdated version of Hawk unlike what the current publication did. The way you used player 2 is exactly the same as what the current publication did (in which player 2 just completed it in the lowest amount of input frames). So between you and the current publication is that you bring nothing new besides the exact same TAS time or IGT time. The difference is the current publication actually documented a lot of stuff about the game in the submission whereas you didn't. Abstained vote on a TAS that brings nothing new to the table. (Also by the seems of things, it looks liked you spliced input to an outdated version of Hawk. Good Job.)

Tries to figure out his life choices. Really good work and improvements within Migu. To a year of suffering by doing nothing but DS Publications to me! Here's the Yes Vote. Here's my claiming for Publication. Here's my grave. On the bright side it's half the length of the original TAS.

I actually find this less entertaining than max coins, as max coins felt like a definitive goal of getting the highest coin count possible. Which is why it kept me entertained. I'm going to give this one a Meh as there's nothing of interest to me... Maybe if you merged both "max coins" and "all items" to create "maximum score" then I'd probably be interested in a category like this again. Nevermind, I forgot 99% of it is just grinding a Koopa. I'll shotgun for publication on the chance it does get accepted. Just don't feel this one. Sorry.

There was a post about that one that stated that the stick should've been longer because it's too close to the user. The response is they are currently unable to do longer as it becomes much more unstable. (To which someone responded with a chicken will help.) There's probably actual support structures to do what they want, but the plan of just a single stick won't go far.

Google EZGames, you've been told to use it multiple times for stupid questions. This is intentional by the game. The game kicks you out of the car twice because you're thinking about the others in the building and then second guessing herself followed by basically smashing through the barn doors.
