Speedy TAS of 2020 was deleted?
Yes. Speedy TAS had several issues every year:
- "Speedy" is inherently hard to define. Unlike Glitchy or Lucky, we can't filter out TASes based on specific tags (and a "speedy TAS" tag would be practically impossible to define or police)
- People misunderstanding the award when nominating. If a TAS skips 90% of content, that's a short TAS, not a speedy TAS. We consistently got many of these kinds of nominations every year, even from veteran users.
- We tried to fix this by requiring people to include explanations with their nominations. This mainly led to a lot of arguing both publicly and privately about what sorts of explanations were valid, and all nominations required reviewing which took up a lot of time.
- Even beyond the nominations, various people disagreed on the direction of the award - does it belong simply to the fastest movie, or the most entertaining movie that happens to be fast? Are movies where the game itself runs faster than what's reasonably intended (e.g. on DOS) counted as speedy, or does it have to be the character relative to the environment? There have been some strong opinions here, which caused complaints from people that some award candidates did not fit their vision of the award.
Ultimately, site administration came to the conclusion that the award has run its course.
