Bloobiebla: What other possible improvements are there? Are people still glitch hunting? Perhaps another route change in the future?

Yes, you need a copy of the ROM to watch an fcm file. However, there are encoded movies for almost all fcms on the main site, so you have the option of downloading or watching from a streaming site.
If you are trying to view something on the forum, and don't want to download the ROM for legal reasons, you can ask for an encode.

If higher resolutions add errors, I have to say go for the lower-res w/ anti-aliasing.

Looking at the work you've done with the RNGs, I'm impressed. This looks like the least fun RNG to play with ever, since you have like 1000 of them, and they are nigh untouchable. Good luck, and it was fun to read about them.

Stoping me to make a TAS of the complete game is that i think i don't have the patience,and i wouldn't have any result for a long time.On a single track TAS i have the result after finishing it.A TAS is finished for me when i got the goal of my TAS,so even if i had great times in this TAS i wouldn't have a result for myself.
And i never come to the idea of doing the whole Game in one TAS,so i would just do something you want and that's not what i wanted to do.
So, you achieved what you wanted, and that is great. You made a TAS for yourself. That doesn't mean that this website has to accept a TAS you made for yourself. Whether or not it gets published at this site is inconsequential to your stated goals. So calm down, and enjoy your own TAS.
Also, it should be noted, that the 'single track runs' that were or are published on the site are considered to be some of the worst publications, and are brought up every time someone mentions 'un-publication.'

The rate at which you add RR tools and Lua to emulators is astounding.
I'm amazed.

The sprites in this game are hideous! But the glitching makes up for it, and this run gets a Yes+ from me.

I feel bad that the joke gone unexplained.
Essentially, there are two sides to movie creation at tasvideos.org. One centers on simply creating entertaining TASes, for the masses to digest. The other side focuses on frame wars, and thus is the competitive aspect of the site.
Normally, people have frame wars over popular games, i.e. Super Mario Bros, Metroid, Castlevania, etc. However, adelikat and Weirwindle turned an unpublishable game into a frame war. Additionally, adelikat moved it towards absurdity by submitting a movie that was clearly cheating. While this was simply meant to highlight the silliness of the frame war over a game that had no chance of publication, it lead to even more ridiculous submissions. 10 or so submission later, the silliness maxed out, adelikat won the frame war, and many laughs were had.

terry312: It is all a big joke.
Also, adelikat, this totally doesn't count, because the CPU gets a checkmate, not you. SO NENERNENERNENER.

I think all this activity is giving Weirwindle too much hope that some version of Battle Chess will get published. Weirwindle, Battle Chess is just not an interesting enough run, despite the number of submissions. I believe this silly competition was to make light of the situation, but your comments seem to make me think you have lots of emotion invested in getting the run published.
I'd suggest trying a different game. Sorry.

I'm surprised there aren't more yes votes... A surprisingly large number of users would vote yes on a TAS of 'Paint Drying NES (U)'

When the Quick Drop is performed correctly, Bowser's y velocity gets set to 204 when he's killed, but continues his pattern for 1 frame longer than he should - so his y velocity gets overwritten with the much slower 240 speed.
Did you mean faster?
Also, easy yes vote.
Plus, is there any way to test earlier frames, to see how many frames you'd have to save to get 6 hops?

I remember someone in some thread said something to the effect of: If you step back and look at SMB1, is it really that interesting of a game to TAS?
The short answer, IMO, is no. Its an action game with a limited move set, and not a ton of variation in the scenery. However, that said, SMB has the weight of being the single highest selling game of all time, and therefore is being treated and considered differently.
If, for example, Felix the Cat had a different set of glitches in PAL, http://tasvideos.org/738M.html, would people still clamor for a 2nd category? Where will the line be drawn for accepting PAL versions of other games?
The point I am trying to make, is that this run fails to add anything more entertaining to the site. It simply demonstrates the difference between two versions of the same game.

This run was much more entertaining than the last one, in addition to being faster.

In the search options:
Search previous:
Search topic title and message text
Search message text only
Why is there no Search Topic Title only?
IIRC, this a PHP BB2 error, and unfixable. But, for a board where every topic title is named after a game, this would help.

I don't see how we need a "scapegoat judge", the very notion seems absurd. You are an author. What would you want to see from the person who appraises the fruit of your labor? You want them to be competent, and you want their competence to show either by documented experience or the amount of help and constructive criticism they're providing to other authors, right? You probably want this person to be easy to communicate with, one that would be able to tell you what you've done wrong without mockery or disguising personal preference with the more arbitrary rules? You don't want your work to be judged by somebody who doesn't fit the description but is easy to hate, do you? Cause that's just disrespectful.
You know, I hadn't thought from the 'author's perspective.' I'd really only thought from the judge/community perspective... Obviously, whenever there is a difficult or unpopular decision to be made, some people hold a grudge a very long time, people who didn't even make the run.
You raise a good point, Nach rejecting runs is sort of an insult.
That said, this is (now) Nach's and adelikat's site. As such, they make the decisions as to who can judge and who can't. At best, all that can be done is to ask Nach not to judge.

You choose two characters with near identical move sets, spend the majority of the movie as Ryu, and use what appears to be about the same combo the entire time. Sorry, this got old after battle 3.

My vote is Meh if this run stands on its own.
My vote is weak yes if it has a chance to obsolete the "one track" Top Gear 1. This run at least has some technically sound achievement to it.

He also recently rejected a movie really fast because it was "obsoleted" by another submission, when that other submission hadn't been judged yet, and it could have been run in PAL mode, used illegal passwords or cheats, be more boring or whatever.
Kyman's run was submitted at 15:12. Nitrogenesis's run was rejected at 15:58. That gave him 46 minutes to watch 8 minutes of videos, to verify integrity, judge changes in entertainment, etc. If he had already watched nitrogenesis's run, then he had 46 minutes to watch 4 minutes of video. How long should one take to watch 4 minutes of video?

And, considering that the new submission was made by Kyman, it could easily have been canceled a few seconds later, like what Kyman already did with Clue for the SNES (one of the silliest episodes in the history of the website, in my opinion. We didn't only miss a great TAS, but also no one can ever submit a TAS of that game again.)
Kyman wrote:
Cancelled because of a few seconds of improvements, will submit with a co-author soon.
That sounds as good of a reason as any to cancel a run. Additionally, there is absolutely NOTHING that prevents someone from submitting a Clue run. Go ahead, make one, and submit it. No guarantee on the outcome, but don't pretend Kyman's action prevent a run from being submitted.
mz, you have already stated, numerous times, that you dislike the way judging works on this website. That has been noted. It isn't going to change. Sorry.
