So I wonder if this run is truly in the spirit of a "pacifist" run. The run hurts enemies without killing them, which is generally not what a pacifist would do. But if we're just taking it as a synonym for "avoid killing" then this run is perfectly fine.
I'm going to leave this open for a few days, and if nobody has a problem with it I'll just accept it.
For clarification, are the enemies you’re talking about the flying yellow aliens at 8:10? Because that’s the only instance where I see non boss enemies being shot at.

Im going to assume the reason why the time is longer than the publication is because of blank input at the end.
I’d really like to watch this once a video encode is provided. Ive been hoping to see an improvement to this game for awhile now.

So I’m not sure if this is fixable but when I attempt to import a movie from PSXjin into bizhawk, the input file ends up like this:
Why does this happen and is there a way around it?
Edit: as a side note, if you try to import a PCSX movie it will work, except the inputs dont press the correct buttons.

I'm not providing a temp encode for this one. The video is next to unwatchable in 30 fps and I haven't looked into how to get youtube to accept this type of footage at full frame rate. If someone else knows the trick, feel free to post an encode.
My understanding is that youtube will not render a video at 60fps unless it's 720p or higher. So upscale the original footage until it's 720p60fps.
this is exactly correct. (with the exception of a 480p60 that sometimes happens with vertical video)

Contra and Castlevania offer different routing choices which is what makes those more fun to watch. A normal any% of this game could be identical to a pacifist run, it’s the same reason why Iji pacifist was rejected.

Wasn’t it already established that this branch for this game cant be acceptable as it is from this submission?. I see no reason why it needs to be submitted again.
No vote.

Doomsday31415 said this in the discord:
“It looks like one of the authors of something I submitted doesn't want to be an author due to lack of involvement in the TAS
Who would I talk to to get that taken care of? 🤔“
That person who took care of it was Mothrayas.

Well they did technically have verification movies, but it was never posted.
It’s implied that submissions like this http://tasvideos.org/3024S.html used the very first movie of this game to generate the sram date, the problem however is that playing the movie itself doesn’t generate the sram data, in order for that to happen the movie has to save the game at least once before it’s beaten.

from what I can understand, back when the site didn’t have set rules about movies starting from sram, all that was required was for sram to be in the movie file itself, so for Symphony of the Night, the sram data would be part of the movie itself.
Since any SotN movie uses sram data that is already approved, would it be allowed if I just extract that data from those movies and use that without having to provide a verification movie, or do you still want to set the standard of only allowing sram movies if a verification movie is provided?
Edit: I should also explain that the reason why I’m asking is because the point of a verification movie is to have sram data that can be approved, if the data used in the publications are already approved then theoretically I could just use those and not have to worry about having a verification movie.

I think this should be a case-by-case decision but in general this is a question that's come up before with ports. From a quality of life perspective it's clear that libTAS is superior but I don't think that on its own is enough for obsolescence but if there are timing differences between the two I don't think that should be held against a run either.
Well ports are one thing. Like there’s obvious differences between something like the snes and genesis versions of a game, but we’re at the point where PC ports of games are so identical to each other that it’s not unlikely to have them obsolete each other. I dont have an opinion on what should happen (especially since I dont know the difference between the linux and windows versions of this game) but I am very curious to see what the site decides to do with it.
