Samsara: Changing branch to better reflect the goal of the movie.
Samsara: The author themself has said this is just a submission without enough difference to the any% movie to warrant publication, and... Yeah, it does certainly feel that way. The fact that it's also a few years old and only being submitted for a last-minute April Fools' Day submission also stands out, as it implies that the run wasn't optimized enough to be submitted at the time of creation and wasn't intended to be submitted at all, even for AFD. Rejecting, though maybe an updated version of this branch could still be acceptable. Unlikely, but I won't rule it out completely right now.

Now that AFD is long gone, can I get an actual explanation of what this run is meant to be? Pardon me for copy-pasting this from the other MMZ run you submitted.

The problem here is that I have no idea if it's acceptable if I don't know what it is or what it aims for. If this is intended to be a legitimate submission, I'm going to need information about it, not just a jokey branch name and nothing in the submission text. Pardon me for copy-pasting this over from your other submission.

Since low% can be an acceptable Moons branch, I'd really like some feedback on whether or not it's worth publishing. MMZ4 is pretty underrepresented on the site, but does the lack of upgrades differentiate this run enough from the published run?

Nah, doesn't really make any difference, it is like Metroid Fusion Any% (3%) vs Low% (0%). The only difference is that Zero loses a bit of power compared to Any%, but routing is the same, warranting a publication just because it is a Low% run wouldn't a wise decision.
A second branch that can potentially show more of the game would be All Upgrades/Parts. It is so RNG heavy, like almost every enemy needs to drop its part in order to make all parts in a record time.
I don't think there are improvements to the current Any% run (currently), so yeah the game will stay very dead for the time being KEKW
After all, junks aren't always junky, we sometimes look for junk for the sake of doing stuff faster (Really? Idk)
