http://www.youtube.com/Noxxa <dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects. <Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits <adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

Hetfield90 - For making some of the most entertaining TASs this past year. Mothrayas - Did a really good job with several TASs on various handheld platforms which are generally ignored by most TASers (yet not necessarily exotic), and also collaborated on one of the best TASs this year for the NES. Lord Tom - Despite relatively little content compared to the others, I think the programming work he added to a game makes his TASing skills this year outshine everyone else.

Lord Tom has put out some of the best TAS work of the year. SMB3 ACE is one of the top runs of the year and blew minds as it was presented live on AGDQ 2016. Then there's also a few very solid Zelda runs, and more Mario 3 action. Definitely nominating him. Hetfield90 also put out an impressive list of Mega Man movies. Gets my nomination too.

I nominate RobynS, she was very productive across the 2D platforms, squeezing out frames wherever she could. Even if a game is guaranteed to go to the vault, RobynS will optimize it to death.
Current project: Gex 3 any% Paused: Gex 64 any% There are no N64 emulators. Just SM64 emulators with hacky support for all the other games.
