Spikestuff you didn't let me equalize my pubcount and judgecount, so I will do nothing to you.

E movie: Xcam = 2416: $8235, 0 read from pointer ($9469) to $C0 Xcam = 2418: First horizontal eye (upper) is skipped (since $C0=0) Xcam = 2418: $8235, 3 read from pointer ($9422) to $C0 Xcam = 2420: Second horizontal eye (middle) spawns (since $C0=3) U movie: Xcam = 2418: $8235, 4 read from pointer ($93F4) to $C0 Xcam = 2418: First horizontal eye (upper) spawns (since $C0=4) Xcam = 2420: Second horizontal eye (middle) spawns (since $C0=4) From that, I presume some routine got shifted in time during the E movie gameplay. Will see tomorrow what caused that. Can I have a E movie where that eye spawns?

Alright, after what was done to Super Metroid, I can try making up a guideline for branching that wasn't thought of before Moons appeared. 1. Branch label must reflect what makes a movie unique over other branches (not over the fastest branch alone). 2. Branch label must be clear and short. Once it becomes ridiculous/long, move details to the publication description (known as scrimpy's trick). 3. Once you see what can't be moved, leave it in the label, still keeping in mind point 1. PS: Use precedents. Next: What about capitalizing? I don't think it's needed unless something internally capitalized is written.

I might sound odd, but that thing I was talking about (if you start calling out the avoided glitch, do it consistently) is still what I consider wrong. I mean, with the system when you skip the label for the fastest run, you will anyway meet one of 2 problems: being inconsistent and unintuitive, or being absurdly precise. So if the glitched to any% transformation is still being forced, I request to avoid both problems the most. Then I might be considered satisfied (not happy).

Yes, "doesn't cause future conflicts", as well as "is generally consistent and understandable", and "descriptive enough, while still tight".

If a movie that despawns the eye gets recorded, I will find out how to reproduce it. And why some enemy wasn't stationary. Because then it would sound like a good improvement.

You might have missed my last question I asked a few times. It's not for the sake of argument, I am trying to figure out some logics that can be written on Wiki as a general ruling on naming branches, for judges and publishers, and TASers. And when it comes to cases where there are runs skipping to end or stuff like that, I'm not satisfied with "implying it doesn't skip to ending". Okay Contra 3 pacifist technically can't skip to ending. Warpless Battletoads technically can, but then it won't be warpless (full) run. But I can make a new warped run with 1 player, and it would require the label "no memory corruption, 1p, warps", and the other would be "no memory corruption, 2p, warps", to highlight all the difference from the rest. "Implying" warps could work (all 3 fastest movies woud use them), but implying "no memory corruption" wouldn't. 2 avoid it, 1 uses. Also, "there are only 2 branches, why bother?" won't help with ruling set up for future, because anytime there may be a submission of a different route, moon-worthy. I don't want to need to relabel the existing 2 branches to take into account the third one. I want the existing 2 already be labeled well enough. I may come up with the list of current movies with more than 1 branch to help figuring this out. Then, I propose more general names for game-breaking glitches that are used/avoided. Many games glitch straight to ending, so why not call it "ending glitch", or "glitched ending"? If it's avoided, "no ending glitch" (well that sounds like there's a glitch that kills the very ending), or "no glitched ending" (which sounds ok to me, ending isn't glitched). For other games, with "special" kinds of glitches, it would still make sense to keep calling it exclusively ("no x-ray glitch").

You have really weird conception of "agreement".

I mean, this question:

I REALLY can't understand the secret point: if one uses X in the fastest branch, and writes in the second fastest branch that it was avoided, why not tell that it's avoided in all the rest runs where it's avoided? Why only pick up certain ones for that? Just explain, with examples. Imagine I'm dumb and make a fool-proof explanation.

Voting for the shortest possible input file, since the previous run was one of the best examples of why it's so fun.

So? The reason of sudden silence is that it's so secret, so unexplainable, or so obvious? It's also strange how users are expected to understand the "clear" system if a judge and a publisher can't...

Originally, 1796M was published as a newgame+, and I still have no idea why, and why it was changed.

Just so you know, the warp glitch in Contra 3 can't be done in a pacifist run, which is why "no warp glitch" was removed from that one. I know what you meant though.
Man, I'm not telling you something current is done wrong (it doesn't matter). I'm asking you how to label properly and consistently all the branches we have on our site. I provided enough examples, you only addressed impossibility to skip to ending in pacifist.
