It still aims for fastest time, it just uses a different metric for timing.
So it's ok even if it made the overall duration of the run an hour longer?

I won't say anything about the publishability of a movie where aiming for in-game time makes a run an hour longer in real time (an hour longer to what? There's no reference point here), and that isn't the point of this flag. The point is, if a movie is published, and it is the fastest completion by the metric which is chosen to be published on the site, then it is fastest completion and should have the flag.

http://tasvideos.org/3218M.html I think the fastest completion tag for the 4:41 run should be removed. The only reason it is faster than the newer run is because of less accurate emulation.

The tag is about branch/goal choice, not about whichever movie has the actual fastest run-time. Therefore the flag is on both the current and the obsoleted movie, as both movies aim for fastest completion (and are/were considered fastest completion at the time of publication)
