Welcome to TASVideos. Judging by your submission, it appears you understand the concept of TASing and are willing to put in work to make your product as good as it can be. That's a great start, and I encourage you to keep making TASes and learning. This submission plays through the NES version of Batman with the added goal of not killing any enemies. Though killing is not allowed, the author does allow himself to attack them, but disallows the use of guns. Since there is a goal for the movie besides going as fast as possible, the run must qualify for Moons to be published. There are three criteria used to judge if a goal besides fastest completion and full completion can be used for a TAS. Two are listed on the Movie Rules page, and the third is a requirement to qualify for Moons. They are as follows: 1. Is the goal clear and does the movie accomplish said goal? 2. Does the goal "offer new TAS material" or "compelling differences" from published TASes? 3. Is the resulting movie entertaining? All three criteria must be met in order for an alternate goal movie to be accepted and published by this site, so let's look at each in turn. 1. Is the goal clear? Is it accomplished? Although there was initial confusion about the goal of the movie, it has since been cleared up. The rules are: 1. Do not use guns 2. Do not allow any enemy to die outside of bosses 3. Complete the game as fast as possible while adhering to the first two rules. As such, this movie does have objective standards by which it can be compared against future movies. Watching the recording, it appears to accomplish those goals. Therefore, the movie qualifies under the first criteria. 2. Does the goal provide new TAS material? For this, we compare against the currently published TAS of the same game, noting where the goal choice required different strategies in order to deal with obstacles. In order to accomplish the goal of killing no enemies, this movie relies often on avoiding enemies and punching them to take advantage of a long intangibility when taking damage to walk through. Based on that, we must look at the published TAS to see whether it avoids enemies or uses the punch to damage them and walk through without actually killing, and whether that happens significantly less than in this movie. Watching the current TAS, we can see that it does indeed avoid enemies (for example, here) and it also punches enemies to walk through without killing them (for example, here), so the question remains: does this goal lead to significantly altered gameplay? I would say it doesn't. The published movie and this movie take largely the same route through the levels. Time as well isn't affected that much by the change in goals. This movie is only 18 seconds slower on a 9 and a half minute movie. While time isn't really a factor for approval or dismissal, it can be used as an indicator. Thus this movie fails on the second criteria. 3. Is it entertaining? Admittedly, this is a subjective measure. I was able to feel entertained watching the movie. The movie also has just one "no" vote out of seven votes, which, while not overwhelmingly positive, may be enough to show that the movie can survive in moons. The currently published TAS also has a Moon rating. Therefore, I believe this movie passes under the third criteria. As such, out of the three criteria, the movie passes two and fails one. However, as stated earlier, it must pass all three criteria in order to be accepted by this site, and since it fails on the second criteria, I'm afraid it can't be accepted and must be rejected. TLDR: This goal isn't different enough from any% to justify a branch. I believe it should be rejected.
