i believe he wants to upload this as a playaround, since speed is clearly not a goal here
I want all good TAS inside TASvideos, it's my motto. TAS i'm interested: Megaman series, specially the RPGs! Where is the mmbn1 all chips TAS we deserve? Where is the Command Mission TAS? i'm slowly moving away from TASing fighting games for speed, maybe it's time to start finding some entertainment value in TASing.

If this runs aims for entertainment, then [759] N64 Mortal Kombat 4 "playaround" by Xyphys in 09:13.72 is a much better watch: crazy variety, intense action, lots of different weapons and fighter moves, fatalities. It could in theory make sense to have 2 playarounds co-exist if they featured completely different gameplay while still being very entertaining. But regular Endurance mode is almost the same as Arcade (and lacks fatalities I think?), so the difference would have to come from different playing style. And in terms of that, the existing movie surpasses this run as well because it demonstrates abilities of different characters instead of just one. And if it's meant for speed, then it's surpassed by [4692] N64 Mortal Kombat 4 "Endurance" by KusogeMan in 02:34.02. What do others think?
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 it's unfortunately just outclassed by any judgable metric. It's not the fastest, and it's not the entertainingest so it has nothing to show that would result in approval IMO I agree that multiple playarounds can exist if they are equally entertaining but show different stuff but I don't feel like that is the case here.

Agreed. Existing movie is more entertaining than this one.
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.
