Well, my thoughts is that given how the existing movie has over 27 votes with an average of 5.9, chances are, an improvement won't exactly propel this game to a higher tier, so might as well go all out speed based. :P
Below that comment, Pigu replies that it wasn't fixed after all, and Revo replies back that he's not going to further update and that a fix would "just annoy speed runners". Looks like a miscommunication that was corrected and then confirmed; Brock skip is not patched.

Also did they fix the battle tent bugs?
Yes. TPP did (finally) successfully use it several times toward the end of the run.
Annoy speedrunners? That's a rather odd reason considering they fixed things like the pokedoll glitch/oversight. lol
Somewhat of an update:

Looks like the final version of the Anniversary Red patch has been released. I asked the ROM hackers about which glitches were fixed and it looks like the only ones are the Old Man glitch and the Poke Doll skip glitch (i.e. the only ones Twitch Plays Pokemon could readily abuse). Brock Skip/Brock Through Walls and Trainer-Fly seem to be intact.
Now that I think about it, despite this complaint about ratings and votes being hard to gauge, along with requests for allowing ratings to be done on the submission bench, what's stopping it from being implemented? I have no experience on web programming, so some insight would be nice.
Now I'm just thinking about some playaround with the SMW + All Stars rom that gets cloud, goes to bowser, and then abruptly skips to the ending of a completely different mario game. lol
Do not Convert this and play it back in the QuickNES core on BizHawk. It will desync in stage 4. Use the NESHawk core to play this in BizHawk
Edit:
NESHawk desyncs in Stage 6.
I wonder would this console verify, or Bizhawk's now. :P
That was quite disorienting at times. I had no idea what was going on, but it was short enough.
The 3D environment composed of 2D sprites made me feel old. :P
Which was not my question. It was: "How many people think we should not tweak the system to include board games?", and optionally, "Why?". All I really remember is people saying board games would cause certain problems, but those were more or less resolved during discussion.
I've yet to see any answers regarding different versions of non-chess board games such as these two:

If tomorrow, some submitted some 10 odd chess TASes, I doubt it'd go over well. And to illustrate how much redundancy is possible, there are nearly 50 different mahjong games (and almost 30 pachinko!) on the SNES alone. How much variation do you expect is between all of them?
The only thing that was somewhat resolved was chess, and that arguement was for difference in each chess engine makes it unique. How about games like monopoly or the 2 above? Is it better to accept them all, or have them obsolete each other due to similar content?
Was there any consensus on what to do with the multiple variations of the same board game? Currently, whenever that was asked, the only game that was pointed to was Chess. What about Mahjong? Or even Jenga for that matter? How many seemingly duplicate submissions of similar games are allowed?
tl;dr - Stop talking about chess and take account onto other board games with a million ports please.
I tried playing back my Over the Hedge TAS. It synced to the first stage, then it gives this:

Hey, is it only me, or does the level transitions sometimes don't fade correctly in the youtube encode? The levels occasionally seem to just immediately cut to the next screen at times.
Nice! Is it Movie #this TAS? Is the 16 seconds due to the extra 700+ frames along with the GBA start up? Either way imo it should still count as "console verified" due to the game timer being same for every stage but the last (by .12).
Would you by any chance also try the other categories for Sonic Advance?
I just realized that you can splice in the input and select each and every single different character to have them unlock the exact same set of levels once 19 more times. I guess if anyone wants to do a "100%"-ish TAS they can do that.
