Candyman: Be My Victim.
Play as Candyman & eviscerate anyone that dares to say your name 5 times in front of a mirror.
This was originally made in Click & Create as a PC demo (2006) and then ported to play on an NES (2023).

This run is not perfect. Just trying to figure out the TAS tools correctly so I can get it submitted.

nymx: Claiming for judging.

nymx: Replacing with a truncated movie file.

nymx: Ok...I'm not happy to report this again, but this TAS was very poorly made. This TAS may have beaten the WR by a number of seconds, but there is another problem. In the first parts of the TAS, I was easily able to improve on this run without trying. Another part I noticed, is that you missed a very important exit strategy that JoePulito performed, which put the WR ahead for a long time. Later, he blunders an area and allows your TAS to catch up. From what I'm seeing, these are the pivotal areas to capitalize on and should have been cleaned up.
To reiterate this site's mission, we require that effort be put into making these movies. With 26 "re-records", it doesn't sound like you are doing all that much to ensure optimization. Because of obvious mistakes, I am once again forced to reject this submission.
