You would ask someone in the thread of the game you're working on. If there's someone that's been helping you by posting in the thread, ask that person. Otherwise, you can just ask in the thread if anyone wants to make the run with you.

Just ask someone who's also interested in the game or TASing the game. If they say yes, you're on a team. You will each do part of the run, and so both of your names will appear when you submit it. Then you will have co-authored a run.
Also, welcome to TASVideos!

That video on YouTube appears really unoptimized too (though it's not a speedrun by any means), though I think either the character is slow or the game is just really laggy. Either way, we can't verify that the uploader didn't skip parts of the game or something sneaky like that, and keep in mind that this is the first input file of this game being completed.
JayTheBrainMann, I haven't watched the movie, but you never mentions it being tool-assisted. You just refer to it as a "speedrun". If you didn't use frame advance and savestates to make the run, then it's not a tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) and it doesn't belong on this site.

SaxxonPike, the run has already been published and already obsoleted both the "glitched" run and the "NewGame+" run.
There is still room for an optimized any% run on the site that does not use save corruption, but for now, this run is the only Chrono Trigger run on the site.
All of this information is in the comments above.

OK, here are some screenshots. Sorry it took so long to upload them. I was having computer problems.
The first screenshot shows the corner where the hand took me away. Actually, I just found out that if you Moon Jump anywhere against the ceiling for 5 seconds, the hand will take you away. We might be able to use this, if we could get the Bubble Bowl Boost to work and move through the door (meaning we would need a 16-spatula run [like SM64!]).
The second screenshot shows where the hand will put you no matter where you "die". We could try testing BBB there, though COEL625 (who discovered the glitch) doesn't think we would be able to go through the door.

The hand places you in front of the doors that you used to enter the Chum Bucket. So you're next to the "Specials" sign, facing the 75 spatula door.
I can post a picture if my description wasn't clear enough. I didn't test BBB on it, because I figured it was impossible to get to legitimately.

Let me in turn thank you for your feedback in the thread for many movies I've judged as of late.
Oh, you're welcome. I try to watch and comment on all of the movies in the Workbench, but I usually don't have time to watch them all before they're accepted.

you know the video of it being done illegitimately? yeah I could really use that moon jump code to test a few things for the "two spatula" route, would anyone happen to know what it is?
It's been in the description of my "illegitimate" video for months. Just copy it from there.
Also, I tested the route and found a corner of the ceiling and wall of the Chum Bucket where the hand will pull you away, but you can only get there by Moon Jumping.

Sadly, no. School is still taking all my time away.
However, summer is coming soon, so I will have much more time to work on the run. I'm at the area after Petalburg now, working on hitting the ? box without touching the Spiked Goomba guarding it.

Nice improvement, KFCMARIO. Yes vote.
This run appears to have been made on version 1.1 of the game, but it syncs on both 1.0 and 1.1. The ROM name should be changed to "Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (V1.1) (U) [C][!].gbc".

It's not like he's hopeless, YoungJ. He can always improve if someone takes the time to teach him about optimizing his TASes.
Poptart, I don't think you should continue TASing Donkey Kong. The currently published run is extremely optimized, as is the last run before the ladder glitch was discovered. I encourage you to try a different game though. Just post your WIP in the game's thread and we will help you optimize it so you can submit it and get it published.

if this chimera of epic proportions does get accepted,can it replace the smb walkathon?
Why would a SMB3 "minimum buttons pressed" run obsolete the SMB "walkathon" run? I don't think your copied-and-pasted comment applies to this submission.

I 100% agree that people can vote without having played a game. If I had to play a game to vote on a submission my vote count would be near 0

there is a pretty limited number of games that I actually play.
I agree with you. I have played a small number of the games published on this site, yet I have watched and voted on over half of them because I enjoy watching TASes, and I am overall only slightly less entertained when I watch runs of games I haven't played as I am when I watch runs of games I have played.
Grassini, how many members do you think have played this game before? Probably very few. This run and many others would sit in the Workbench forever if such a ridiculously arbitrary requirement was expected of us.

First of all, I saved 298 frames (almost five seconds) from the beginning to the end of the first level. It's easy to optimize this game; I made this in 20-30 minutes and I don't think I can improve it. Also, all of the first level's 47 lag frames from the level are gone in VBA24-M (more accurate emulation makes this level lag-free), and I suggest you restart your run on VBA24-svn422 and optimize everything.

which level are you refferingto?
The first one where you can use all four characters, for one. You change to Alex to jump when it looks like you can just use Marty.
Also, disregard my advice about jumping. No matter how long you hold A, you always jump the same height.
The game doesn't allow you to use Marty more? He seems to be the fastest, so it would really speed up the levels if you could. Also, you don't need to jump the highest you can every time. It should be faster if you jump lower (if this game's jumping is anything like Operation Penguin's).

I agree with Riddim and Mr. Kelly R. Flewin. This is another terrible pirate game, and it doesn't make for a good TAS. Also, the music and sound effects really annoyed me and I watched the second half of the movie with the audio muted.
In short: Bad game choice, No vote.

Though I'm not sure how I feel about this being the only current published Chrono Trigger run on the site (all others would be obsoleted). Could this could be published as a "glitched" category and the long any% run could be published again?
That's ridiculous! The previous run uses the same type of memory corruption as this one. There is no logical reason why this would be in a "glitched" category and not that one.
The currently published run is in the exact same category as this run, Glitcher. You just said yourself that they use the same glitch, so like I said, this run would obsolete the currently published "glitched" run.
If you were confused by the phrase "long any%", I was definitely talking about the original 4+ hour run (which contains no save corruption).

A little repetitive, but entertaining nonetheless. I could tell you were warping because your character disappeared from the map at the level introduction screen and the music and background were different for only those two levels.
Yes vote.
