I call publish. While this game is not the most entertaining game to TAS (Like any Mario-game, SMW and SMB2u excluded(Self-pwn I know, but I don't like SMB3 too much)), it's still publishworty and most importantly, brings a new console to the site.
I think it would be folly to wait 3 months for the first NDS-TAS to be published, especially when one which at very least is publishable exists.
Choosing one of the 6 options saves the choice into a cookie, so that particular style is used the next time you visit.
This is the first ever TAS run or wip of any kind for the game or platform. There's no way I'm making an unimprovable movie on the first try.
At this point, save manipulation is sufficient to split the Chrono Trigger any% run into two categories, but I don't think there's a reason for us to not make game-specific categories in the future. It's probably perfectly acceptable to say "this game can be completed through two completely distinct routes, one vastly slower than the other, both of which are enjoyable to watch in their own rights, so let's allow people to keep both runs up-to-date".
There's possible improvement by nearly 10 seconds.

Arkiandruski's examples were all game-specific, though. It's very easy to define what a BLJ is in Mario 64, or what the X-Ray glitch in Super Metroid is
Yeah, I'm all for glitch avoidance runs and think there should be more on the site, especially when it makes that much of a difference. (glitch avoidance runs are runs where you don't use a specific glitch, like no card glitch COTM, BLJless SM64, no xray glitch Super Metroid, etc.)
And in case you wonder what Bisqwit's code has to do on a daily WTF posting, this time it's about awesome and not bad code.
Explain Super Metroid's categories then. As I understand it, you can have 2 any% runs if one uses "game breaking" glitches and the other one doesn't. That might be considered arbitrary, but there's no denying the viewing experience is vastly different.
I also think save corruption glitches should have their own tag.
Furret only? Nah, I care absolutely nothing for the games.
Take starred runs, sort by rating.
Well, if anyone comes to meet me personally, don't expect anything spectacular -- just some chat and possibly coffee and cake if I get sufficient warning in advance :)
Not to mention they're also in the same family as ferrets... ...oh, all right, fine. The only reason I did this was because of the skunk's connection to the ferret. If the closest I'll come to TASing a game with a ferret is to TAS a game that stars a cousin, then by golly, so be it.
It's funny how the creator has named the run a speedrun, since it's not.
Oh, but then it'll be like those real-life opinion polls where you gotta answer "Strongly Agree", "Agree", "Disagree", "Strongly Disagree", plus whatever they call the Neutral option in the middle.
The emotions are exaggerated for a comical effect. Exaggeration is applied in our culture too in comedy,
I seem to recall hearing that Mike Tyson's Punch-Out has audio cues for everything, which means that it can be played by deaf people with enough patience to learn the cues by trial and error.
The whole 'eyes can portray an emotion by themselves' thing is a bit lame.
So can the mouth, but they sure don't focus on that, do they? In fact, they're fucking tiny most of the time, unless they are being glib. Which is often.
