Any run where there were three or more submissions for the same game and same category on the workbench simultaneously, and it was one of them?

How many of such runs are there currently published?

A wiki-style definition for a frame war is: An event when some relatively simple game is unexpectedy brought to a really high level of frame perfectness. Several people appeared to be interested in TASing it at the same time, but they didn't co-operate, they competed instead. A frame war is a chain of several quick obsoletions, sometimes they are only submitted, sometimes they also occur right in the forum treads, where the competers post WIPs improving each other several times. What can be considered several times? I don't know, I just can point to the framewars I remember: #3461: fiskerN's NES Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 "1player, Dale" in 17:18.47 #3472: goofydylan8's NES Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 "1player, Dale" in 16:33.20 #3547: fiskerN's NES Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 "1 player" in 16:24.83 #3569: feos's NES Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 "1 player" in 15:48.17 #3597: feos's NES Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers 2 "1 player" in 15:13.80 An initial crappy movie ended up as a long obsoletion chain. #3690: TheZlomuS & DyLaX's NES Battletoads "Glitched" in 01:02.68 #3707: Marx's NES Battletoads "glitched" in 01:01.42 #3710: TheZlomuS & DyLaX's NES Battletoads "Glitched" in 00:58.07 #3750: MESHUGGAH's NES Battletoads "Glitched" in 00:56.94 A bunch of quick WIPs from the submitters were also posted in their threads. #3171: Aqfaq's Genesis Bible Adventures "Baby Moses" in 02:02.07 #3173: NitroGenesis's Genesis Bible Adventures "Baby Moses" in 02:01.40 #3181: Aglar's Genesis Bible Adventures "Baby Moses" in 02:00.37 The people's response changed from No to Yes through those improvements. #3604: Kyman's GB The Addams Family in 01:44.98 #3629: NitroGenesis's GB The Addams Family in 01:44.48 #3659: Kyman's GB The Addams Family in 01:36.05 Didn't follow.

I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

By the way, what about notable "music-sync" movies? Those where the player dances/shoots to the music in a notable fashion. An icon could be a music note or something.
I am a big fan of this category, assuming Otocky counts... :) I'm clearly biased on this one, however. For the record, I like ais523's suggestion about the framewar - I know adelikat currently isn't sold on the idea but frame wars tend to generate a lot of viewer interest, usually because of the submission text moreso than the game. That gives me another flag idea - "Notable Submission Description". Some of us enjoy reading what happened to the game as much or more than we like watching the movie itself and in many cases the submission text is actually more entertaining than the movie. Submission #3187: Bobo the King's NES Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego is a good example where the movie is as boring as watching paint dry but the description is very entertaining and worth reading. Just my two cents, A.C. ******
I was laid off in May 2023 and could use support via Patreon or onetime donations as I work on TASBot Re: and TASBot HD.

I think movie and submission descriptions shall be rated and listed somewhere, not flagged. A well as forum posts. Simply as on YT: +/-.
