I voted for Rayman and Pokemon. My explanation: Pokemon is easily one of best TASes that I watched during 2017. Several games and features programmed and implemented inside of a GB game! Also SpongeBob was my biggest surprise for me! Really great TAS, but... ...the TAS of Rayman was my favorite TAS from this year. Really was entertaining since the first time that I watched. It starts a bit slow, but changes after minutes. Rayman gain powers that helps to avoid much backtracking as well as zipping, optimizing, and gaining much speed through the stages. This game was one of best games that I played on the recent years. A difficult game that looks "normal" when watching this run.

A lot of good options this year. People should vote for multiple. Personally, I'm going with 3358 for best ACE and 3492 for best regular.

I voted for several of them this year, but for me the top highlights especially worthy of note were [3492] NES Castlevania by Challenger in 11:19.03 (best at technical quality/TAS perfection) and [3568] GC 007: Nightfire by FitterSpace, gamerfreak5665 & alec_kermit in 33:42.82 (best at entertainment value).

Haven't been around much this year. But, uh, Rayman.
effort on the first draft means less effort on any draft thereafter - some loser

Just as I expected. Pokemon Yellow "ACE" will be gain this category, and gained. Congratulations MrWint not for one of best TASes of 2017, but for lots of "variety"! Also, glad to see that Rayman also won this category. Congratulations scrimpeh and got4n! Your hard, harder work on this great game resulted on my favorite PSX TAS of all time! After several years (actually 2012-2016), for the first time, a winner of this category isn't any mario game, but, 2 runs gained this category (even more impressive, like when Cave Story and Majora's Mask gained TAS of year, back on 2011).

Challenger, I hate to break it to you, but the Pokémon Yellow that won is a Mario game.

I forgot this. You are right, Nach. Thanks! Also this ACE run is a "Multiple games and variety in one movie" (the answer is easy: through that published "spoiler" screenshot.).
