which playaround or speedrun?
Your Astra Superstars TAS looks like it could be a playaround. Did you mean to complete the game as fast as possible?
Edit: What is your native language? Indonesian?

To be clear I voted Yes for this one. To me the goal of making tases and watching them is to have fun. Judging and processing tases should not be more important than the actual tases themselves. If a rule is cumbersome than drop it.

This looks more like one for playground because there is so much variation. If that is what you are going for then it might be good to lean into that aspect. Almost every tas fighting game that goes for speed has narrowed things down to very specific techniques or combos that are reused over and over again with few exceptions. Fun looking fighting game too so good choice for a game though. Liked how this was done.

I thought the movement and paths looked good even though I know nothing about this game. Was I entertained? Yes. How is the cheat code even done though?

That damage output of Tifa's becomes really insane really quickly so that was fun to see. What was the final setup for Tifa? Powersoul / Curse Ring / Gigas Armlet with Added Cut linked to Deathblow materia? Nice to see a version with no slots as well. Yes vote.

This game does not really lend itself to tasing very well. No glitches and all the solutions look exactly the same as with a casual playthrough as far as I can tell. Good music and nice graphics so Meh, otherwise it would be a No.

Wow this is exactly what a high score bullet hell tas should like. Loved the extremely unlikely dodging movements. The laser graphic glitching out on that one boss was amusing too. Easy yes vote!

Rejected is fine with me. But if it must be changed, change it to something that implies it is not acceptable as is. Canceled does not really carry the meaning of who canceled it or why it did not get in which would be nice.
Maybe instead have multiple statuses for rejection? Unaccepted: Unoptimized, or like Unaccepted: Obsolete Emulator, Unaccepted: Pending Updates, Unaccepted: Uses Emulator Bug, Unaccepted: Existing Tas Faster etc.

Considering that a massive amount of games are not even originally English why not also include the original name? A lot of games are difficult to find using the English alphabet anyway. There are multiple different transliterations systems for languages, and some titles are not correct, incomplete due to human error. Also, in some Japanese games in many cases transliteration must be an educated guess since there are no pronunciation guides when they are using kanji in non standard ways. Having the original name as an alternate name would bypass those issues completely.

Heck yea! Going to have to read all those comments. What exactly was in that custom build though? Is that build public?
It's not public, but unlike all that console instability stuff, Doom replays can be freely played back on all Doom source ports with high Vanilla Doom compatibility: Chocolate Doom, Crispy Doom, PrBoom+, DSDA-Doom and XDRE.
almostmatt1 may give additional info on his build, but from what I know, it has a custom interface (all those useful in-game values) for better convenience and a better input brute forcing mechanism.
Ok so the input can be played fine in other all Doom programs. Thanks.

Really wild tas! Lots of crazy stuff happening all over the place. Kind of wish there were some subtitles or something playing alongside the video. I think the only complaint I have is that it is a bit self indulgent at places, but this is a playaround so that is fine. Will probably watch this in little bits over the next couple weeks.
