Polling is now open for the Lucky TAS of 2010. Polling is done by approval voting, meaning you choose all of the movies you believe are deserving of the award; the movie approved of by the greatest number of voters will win the award.
Polling will close at midnight UTC on 15 January 2011.

This thread tracks nominations and, later, voting for the lucky TAS of 2010. The lucky TAS of 2010 is intended to be awarded to the TAS published during 2010 that demonstrates the most impressive luck manipulation.
When nominating a movie, please use the movie BBcode tag with the movie's ID number, e.g. [movie]1423[/movie], which yields [1423] GG Sonic the Hedgehog by sgrunt in 19:18.70; this will make it easier for us to both look at the movie and question and add the movie properly to polling once it opens.
Let the nominations begin!

<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.

Though the game is entirely deterministic, the bruteforce trial-and-error creation of the input sequence over the course of several YEARS deserves some merit. If you disagree, don't vote for it.

How can you abuse luck when there is no RNG to be abused?
OTOH, we don't (yet) have a "physics engine abuse" award, so we may as well collate that with this one. (Which actually gives a good idea for a new award next year...)
The epitomy of "WTF?! That's impossible!" is embodied in both of these quite succinctly. [Kind if like how I saw a live Texas Hold'em game on TV with a Royal Flush being laid out and both players being totally boned by it]

I think that is the same situation with Movie #1686M if we only discuss the new "lucky glitches" in it, although Mega Man is indeed a game with "traditional" (pseudo-)random factors that have been familiar to us.
<klmz> it reminds me of that people used to keep quoting adelikat's IRC statements in the old good days
<adelikat> no doubt
<adelikat> klmz, they still do
