It made sense for Chrono trigger glitchy to obsolete the old chrono trigger run, because by its goals, the old run would have used them if they had been known at the time of its creation.
Also, what would happen if we ever manage to finish the game early without going to the debug menu? Then it would make the most sense to have it obsolete the 70 minute TAS, wouldn't it?

Chrono Trigger's any% being obsoleted by the glitched run was because the any% was extremely out-of-date, which is clearly not the case with SMW. (Except for maybe the 96-exit run, but that's not relevant here.)
"The End" screen TAS in 9 minutes This smv aims to go to the The End screen as fast as possible. Another crazy thing pirohiko found!
As time passed, Ross Miller (Sprocket2005) posted a 4 minute run using the same route, but without a Skip sandwich. So he could skip all of the night part in Onett and go to the glitch spot while Ness was still in his pajama. The run is considered fake because neither pirohiko nor me could bypass the cliff without a skip sandwich and looking at the video frames of sprocket2005's video, Ness walks literally through the cliff diagonally which is impossible since any diagonal movement is stopped when walking against a solid wall whereas walking vertically or horizontally may eject Ness and let him move on sometimes. It's also considered fake because the author never provided an SMV (instead he blocked me on YT), and is known to have created fake runs in the past.
Why does the time in the title include the credits? And should it?
As a side-note: I uploaded this video in 4240x2400 resolution. The highest YouTube currently provides is 480p. On "my videos" it says "Published 0%". On the upload form it says "your video will be live in a moment" and "Processing 99% — Finishing processing...". Anyone know whether I can expect the 720p/1080p/Original versions to appear, like ever?
@amaya_pixel Did you ever watch the TAS (youtube.com/watch?feature=…) of Cave Story and if so, were there any tricks used that surprised even you?
@sirbastille I watched it. I did not think them. It's crazy..
Of course that's not what they mean at all. Instead, what they mean is, roughly, "don't believe something without proper evidence." (Of course it then comes down to what is "proper evidence", but that's another lengthy story in itself.)
