Just as a reminder, and to clarify things if they aren't clear (from a kind of more "legal" point of view): When someone submits a TAS to this site, there's this piece of text alongside the submission button: "By pressing "Save/Edit" you agree to publish this content under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 license." Said license establishes the following permissions:

You are free to: Share — copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format Adapt — remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially. The licensor cannot revoke these freedoms as long as you follow the license terms.

So in order to avoid any kind of misunderstandings: Yes, anybody can take any TAS published at tasvideos.org and use it as he or she sees fit, for any purpose whatsoever. The author of the TAS cannot retroactively revoke these freedoms from anybody, no matter how much he or she "owns" the TAS. (By submitting, the author agreed to this license. If the author doesn't agree with it, then he or she shouldn't have submitted in the first place. After submission it's too late to take it back. Again: These freedoms cannot be revoked even by the original author.) That being said, the same license imposes some restrictions on this usage, namely:

Under the following terms: Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use. No additional restrictions — You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits.

While it was a mistake to not give credit in the publication text, this has been fixed, so it ought to be ok.

Like Resident Evil, there's a ridiculous amount of dead time due to door transitions and item collection. The in-game time provides a decent rough estimate to that dead time in Super Metroid's case, where you can see it's to the tune of half an hour. And those are only the improvements that he's aware of. There are very likely more if he's not doing somewhat basic things like resource management well.

That's a bit mean. The people who work on TASes here are human, prone to error and emotion. The tools we use remove human error during replay from the equation, but they do not remove human error during route planning or execution. That would be like saying that computer programming removes the human element from logical mathematics.

Warp, while what you are saying is correct regarding copyright, licensing and such legal matters, that is entirely irrelevant to the topic at hand, which is the notion of adding credit in the form of coauthorship in the site movie rules, which are requirements for a movie publication on this site, not for being legal intellectual property. We are not suing nymx or sending lawyers at him for not coauthoring cpadolf, or anything as silly as that. Legal matters aren't coming into play here.

I can understand, to an extent, that some may find the goal to be too arbitrary for general audiences. When asking the question "is it different enough from 100% to warrant being published", as a runner of the game, I have to immediately say yes it is different enough. However, I'm willing to admit, to a general audience member, with which TASvideos strives to appeal towards, it may not seem all that different and the goal itself may seem especially arbitrary. The reason that the category does not collect every item is simply because it does very little to change the route or strategies present in the run and instead adds on all of the item fanfare. This especially makes sense in an RTA run because it's boring to sit through all that item fanfare. However, from a general audience standpoint, it may not make sense why you don't get all the items along with all the map tiles (or even save the animals) and I've seen this wondered so many times in Twitch chatrooms. I hope this message is more clear than my previous one, which was basically just a quick disagreement against the arbitrary claims. I can see now how it could be viewed as such, even if I disagree.

if you want to include a "all map completion" then i sugest you doing it while doing a 100% TAS, it would be more logic and might add depth to the route.

Haven't watched the whole run, only bits and pieces, but I saw a part of the twitch video where you were unsure of how I charged a bluesuit on the treadmills in WS. I'm fairly sure that's not an emulation error but something that happens when you unmorph at exactly the right distance from the floor (in such a way that there's no airtime before hitting the floor but also so that you don't touch the floor until you're fully unmorphed). For whatever reason this will make you unaffected by the treadmill. Possibly related to this is that if you do it correctly your vertical speed will not be reset like it usually is when touching the ground, but will freeze in the value it had just before landing until you jump/crouch which will also make you affected by the treadmill again. Might watch more of the run later to see if there's any more interesting questions that are brought up in the run.

I forgot to write in your name in my original submission and definitely didn't want to falsly take credit for your work.

BTW, I plan on redoing this and hoping to chop off more time.

CPAdolf!!! Thank you for you comment! You have been my favorite TASer and you are certainly my Hero! I would love to meet up with you on Skype sometime and talk about these crazy things that I experienced.

Without frame advance, memory watch or any of the other usual conveniences, I made my first run with nothing but good ol'24% speed and rerecords. And after about 8 hours of work I had created my very own TAS of Super Metroid. I think it goes without saying that it was horrible. But with encouraged and some pointers, mainly from hero of the day, Saturn, and later moozooh I set out to improve my work. The second run used frame advance, it still sucked but I started to get the hang of it. In the third I incorporated the memory watcher, and upped the optimization quite a bit. This time I started to close in on the then published runs on the site, and sure enough the fourth run I made was also the first I submitted to this site. It was, however, rejected after a long discussion, due to having a bad goal, aiming for fastest ingame time rather than the fastest actual time. Not being discouraged by the decision I went on to make a fifth version of the same run, which I submitted without any actual intent of getting it published. Much to my surprise however, it was. Thus I was finally an official player on the site, and the rest as they say is history.

I'm wondering how much longer a 100% items + 100% map run would be compared to the regular 100% items run. If the difference is relatively small, then... maybe it could be a possibility?
