Personally I think this year the field is fairly weak for SNES TASer of 2019 so any choice is about as valid as any other. It's all a matter of opinion after all.

Sorry, but I'm not the one not doing my research, and you are missing the point here, EZGames69. As such, I'd suggest to you to not react out of affect to posts (as it can obscure one's own judgement), but to give yourself some time for consideration a priori, so that you may reach to some further conclusions yourself without them having to be pointed out to you by others.
Being authored for a TAS or not doesn't determine how much work went into a given TAS by a given person or whose TASing skills it is that make a TAS end up the way it does as finished product. And DES requesting to be removed from the TAS doesn't negate nor eradicate DES's by the time already existing contributions, in particular and especially the input file, that constituted Doomsday31415's basis to continue working on from there.
So yes, DES may not have worked together with Doomsday31415 (which confirms my initial perspective on it, because I thought the same), but worked with significant effectiveness on an improvement of Dooty's TAS long before Doomsday31415 started his own TAS project on it, according to Doomsday31415 himself.
As such, I still see my critique justified.
If You create a Collective Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Collective Work any reference to such Licensor or the Original Author, as requested. If You create a Derivative Work, upon notice from any Licensor You must, to the extent practicable, remove from the Derivative Work any reference to such Licensor or the Original Author, as requested.
What have Doomsday31415 and EZGames69 done wrong again?
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. 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.
I think Aran;Jaegar's point is that while it may appear on the surface that Doomsday worked on the TAS alone, his work was largely built off of others, in contrast to some other nominees to this thread. I don't see what it has to do with Doomsday's post at all, but I believe that's what Aran is trying to say.

To clear up any confusion, DES had almost no direct input in the TAS that was submitted. The reason they were initially included as a co-author was because the TAS they made that significantly improved on Dooty's TAS was never submitted to TASVideos.
The fact that a lot of strategies and movement was based on their "unpublished" TAS as opposed to Dooty's published TAS does not change the amount of effort I put in to further optimizing it (their TAS had hundreds of thousands of rerecords not seen in the published TAS).

Congratulations Doomsday31415! It was a good race. :)
I recently discovered that if you haven't reached a level of frustration with TASing any game, then you haven't done your due diligence.

SOYZA: Are you playing a game?
NYMX: I'm not playing a game, I'm TASing.
SOYZA: Oh...so its not a game...Its for real?

Anybody got a Quantum computer I can borrow for 20 minutes?
Nevermind...eien's 64 core machine will do. :)
