I watched the movie and I have some questions.
1. In GHZ 2 0:02 - I'm sure taking the speedshoes + the lower route is more faster than taking the upper route, I saw that you slowed down a little and taked the loop, was not faster skip him jumping upside?
2. The movie claims that is used Predict Animals script but I didn't saw animal manipulation in the capsules (perfect rng maybe?). In one hand Sonic games aims for IGT but on the other hand it's good trying to save every possible frame if it's possible.
3. Marble 1 0:09 - Climbing is more faster than landing here, remember when Knuckles lands he has immobility for 15 frames, with climbing you avoid that, you did this way the rest of the movie, maybe you missed this spot?
4. Marble 2 0:03 / 0:09 - Well... you did the same here at 0:03 but no at 0:09, even at normal speed you can see that is sighly faster.
5. Marble 3 boss - I don't know if it's because of Knuckles' jumping force penalty, but I remember Aglar fighting the boss with perfect frame hits.
6. JXQ was actively involved in the project? If not I think you guys need to revisit his stages, JXQ's movies are a little old and his input can be outdated.
7. Remember that Knuckles can use the slope glitch in every level using the monitors, I think you can skip Spring Yard 1 activating the slope glitch with the speedshoes monitor and glide jump to the sky using the badniks down here.

8. Is possible to skip robotnik cutscene in SBZ2

In my opinion, the run feels rushed but is good enough for a first try, Maybe you should check my points and verify they are valid and then you can resync the movie, you can ask the judges for a delay in the verdict if you need to fix these things.

Out of curiosity, how a game with multiple branches affects the site negatively?
About the sonic trilogy there isn't a lot of branches than you think.
For example every character has the potential of 3 main branches: any%, 100% and glitchless, ring-attack is optional but it's very well apreciated, newgame+ I only see this one valid only as S+T/S solo imo, score attack would be a insta-reject to being very boring and repetitive.
The main problem about the Sonic trilogy is the level-warp glitch (I tried doing a no level warps run in the past like Sonic 100% but ended in a controvertial state like this run but still acepted nevertheless), sadly every new any% will be a screen rolling simulator unless we think on rework the any% rules about this branch or maybe simulate Sonic 3 AIR bug fixes or just jump to the glichless branch.

You don't. You only need to understand that a forum isn't a social media where you can do micropost everywhere, you need to be polite, read our tips to get better and understand our forum enviroment, make messages apporting something useful to the topic in question too.
About the topic which is Sonic the Hedgehog, me and kaan can help you to understand the game mechanic if you really want to do it.

(I was joking, that was implied by the "lol". But I think I might try Gens only cause u guys are all saying it's better.)
Not really, It's better for Sonic Games for the Sonic TAS Tools wich can help you to understand the Game Mechanics and get used to them.
So, if you go for Gens you might check this thread: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8827
Good Luck.

I recommend you use gens for genesis sonic games for the camhack and sonic tas tools.
I know you are trying to make "entertaining" movies but you don't lost anything in learning the basic phisycs and optimizations of this games.

Welcome back Marzo! I can't wait to see how much Sonic runs will be destroyed this time, and if you are interested we have some more new improvements for the Knuckles run.
Also, I encoded the Sonic any% TAS so people can watch it.

Because how would you go about it? Obviously we aren’t going to make it where you can nominate any moons or stars movie from the past decade, and the other way we could do it is by using all the previous TAS of the year winners, though honestly that would just be a bunch of mario movies going against each other (since I think most of the winners are mario movies).
I think we can pick restrictions like: movies that earned at least one award in these years and only one movie about a console/game franchise/pet, independent of the gender and TAS goals.
But maybe it's a bit forced and Nach has the last word maybe?.
Also I want to remark that this only happen every 10 year, we should enjoy it.

Um, what is Avpag?
Sorry I think my keyboard is on another language.
You need to press "Page Down" 1 time instead of Page up to activate Tails camera
It still reset after the first level :/
Now that I remember correctly I did this encode manually, pressing page down on every first non-lag frame when the characters and level loads, I can do a list on wich frame you need to press page down if you want

Evil_3D, how do you make camhack focus on Tails all the time? When I just switch the target with Page Up, it gets reset when the Tails object disappears.
You need to press "Avpag" 1 time on frame 413, otherwise gens will crash in the menu, if you do this well Tails would be always focused like on the Tails encode.

Why allow this game genie code in particular and not allow direct editing of the RAM to call the ending?
The code only prevents knuckles to get his super form after reaching 50 rings, this can allows us to collect every ring, including the giant ones without get his transformation and activates the ring drain effect and keep gameplay normal. Just like on the newgame+ ring-attack.
We are aware of the rules, we aren't trying to get the game ending instantly with the genie code, just we want to know if is possible to make an exception because this code can improve the gameplay and the movie watchability

This will be useful for update the Knuckles any% run

Yes, the fans had a cycle of 89 frames (If I remember well) and starts when CNZ1 loads, if you got a different time on CNZ1 the fans on CNZ2 will have another possitions, it's like the "wind" on MHZ2

Actually is a very good movie for a beginner and it was entertaining, on the other side the optimization is not enought for our current standards about Sonic TASes, I can see small details here and there, but with the time you will improve your eyes to fix this details, I hope you don't get discouraged if this movie is rejected and you will continue having fun with TASing.
on another topic, it's interesting, the SADX music can be reproduced on sega CD? or you made that with video editing? (I don't know this SCD hack)

Good stuff.
I loved the new CNZ level warp and maybe can work with Knuckles too, I will wait some months to see what can be discovered in this game this year and maybe I can start working on a update for the Knuckles run :)

What about sit, grab some snacks and enjoy the movie instead of complain about some graphic glitches? thats why the second encode exist, just watch it, and then the movie explanations.
I enjoyed every detail of this movie (despite im not familiar with the game), the music syncs, the insane super jumps, routing and breaking the game as much the TAS can offers, yes vote of course.
