Hello everyone, it's GamesFan2000, that unimportant lurker. We've waited a long time for this day to finally come. At long last, A FULL GAME RUN OF F-ZERO! I've always been irked that previous TAS runs within the F-Zero franchise have only focused on single grand prix runs instead of full game runs. Part of it might have to do with Weatherton's old Mario Kart 64 Special Cup TAS getting rejected in the days of yonder, combined with that decision seemingly NEVER being referenced when judging F-Zero submissions. Okay, okay, different franchises and communities, but still, similar ideas with different end results regarding final decisions. I'll just cut to the chase, yes vote.

It is I, GamesFan2000, both unimportant and inactive. I guess I chose the right time to make another post, though. We are witnessing history on TASVideos, as this is the FIRST EVER 3DS submission for the website! And what a TAS it is! benstephens showcases complete mastery in this brilliant TAS of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, completing the game as fast as possible while accidentally doing the coveted No Doors category in the process. The author has put in a monumental effort to cover all their bases in the wall of submission text (it's a lot of words), which is necessary when we're talking about a potential maiden publication for a new platform. Everything that matters is covered in painstaking detail. I would normally just judge the TAS on its own merits since every other TAS I've voted on is on a system that already has (an) accepted emulator(s), but since this is the first 3DS submission, it isn't enough for the TAS to be of acceptable quality, the emulator must also meet a set of requirements. All-in-all, though, everything seems to be up to par (as far as my uninformed brain can tell), so I shall give a yes vote.

They made Super Mario Bros. 3 the shortest TAS ever, then they made it faster, and now they've switched over to the Famicom version to make it EVEN faster. The TASVideos cycle is fully completed. Morimoto's famous TAS led to this website's existence, and now the Japanese version is proven to be the fastest version overall. I'll give a yes vote for that and the technical genius of the TAS.

Maybe you should do some research on the TAS history of the game. I'm serious, this is more than 20 seconds slower than the currently published run. Instant no.

So, it turns out that one of the guys who helped Terry Cavanagh on the later patches of VVVVVV also does some TASing. And he's here to absolutely destroy the game. Turns out that the secret to manipulating the duct tape of this game is not skipping the first Space Station visit. And, thus, with text box storage, teleporters, and trinkets, the credits can be forced. Yes vote.

I'm sorry, but there's already a TAS involving the Great Cave Offensive ladders, and that one actually triggers the credits.

Okay, seriously, this was already the shortest published category on TASVideos, did we really have to make it shorter?!

It looks much more appealing than the old design at first glance.

GamesFan2000 here, the most unworthy person to comment on this masterpiece. I had a good idea of how this run might go because I watched MrBean35000VR's old 1:20:51 from the days of yonder. Fair to say that this TAS blew me away with some of the shenanigans that went on. There were so many hilariously entertaining moments throughout the run. The highlight is, without question, doing all of Pack Attack jetpack-less. With all of the ridiculous moments, it'll be nearly impossible to pick a single frame to be the image for the publication, but I'll recommend using one from the moment when Crash was literally floating on ice in Air Crash (honorable mention to Crash achieving light-speed at the end of Pack Attack). This is a contender for the easiest yes vote I've ever given, and a contender for the best TAS of 2021 (I'll be shocked if it doesn't win the PSX TAS category).

It's always a joy watching more and more improvements to Contra. Yes vote.

Good evening! GamesFan2000 here to make an uneducated comment on a TAS once again! Everyone knows that the true metric of entertainment is the number of explosions. This TAS might have out-of-bounds, camera shenanigans, enemy despawning, extreme RNG manipulation, hitstun manipulation, damage-boosting, and much more, but the best part is the amount of s___ that blows up! Everything else is the cherry on top of this delicious exploding cake. An explosive yes vote!

Good evening, everyone. GamesFan2000 here, notable for absolutely nothing. We've come here to witness an improvement to the greatest TAS to never win the TAS of the Year award (imagine finding the holy grail of SM64 only to get bopped by Mario Kart 64). The major timesave comes from the latest scientific breakthrough in yeeting yourself, used to great effect on BitS. Of course, it's Mario 64, so I'm contractually obligated to give this a yes vote.

Good afternoon, fellow tool-assisted Pokemon trainers. I'm GamesFan2000, a trainer with absolutely squat in terms of notability. It's with heavy hearts that today we mourn the death of the Squirtle-Clefable-Tauros route. Eight days after it revolutionized the Red/Blue TAS meta forever, it has been mercifully put down in favor of the Wartortle-Tauros route. So swift was Clefable's demise that the previous submission wasn't even claimed by a judge. It's sad that the TAS that broke all of our preconceptions about the Gen 1 meta will never claim its rightful place as a published run on this website, but the beat goes on, and this TAS is a worthy successor. A heartbreaking but nonetheless deserved yes vote.

Salutations, fellow tool-assisted Pokemon trainers! I'm GamesFan2000, and I'm just a random trainer that you probably didn't even battle. That aside, for the first time in a long while, we've got a new route for Red and Blue! The tried, true and tested Nidoking route has finally been obsoleted! Reading the submission notes, I'm intrigued by the fact that you started this by proving that the Werster strategy of riding Blastoise through thick and thin was faster than the Nidoking route, a route created by RTA runners specifically to gain an advantage over Werster. But, alas, we instead get a mix of FireRed/LeafGreen inspiration and a completely new idea for this TAS. We switch from Squirtle to the adorable Clefable in Mt. Moon, and then to the mighty Tauros in the Safari Zone (those who TAS the Gen 1 remakes might want to take note). For so long now, we've believed that Nidoking was the final solution, but the door has been blown wide open now. A whole-hearted yes vote for breaking the mold with something different and faster!

Good morning fellow bananas. I AM THE GAMESFAN2000! Not that anyone cares, I am merely a plebian who loves watching TAS runs. In this new TAS of the legendary SNES classic Dong Country, the holy trinity of Dong, Ding, and Rang give the bird to science itself and make it to Crang's house in a minute and three seconds. I always love these ACE showcases, because it's hilarious when the game is forced to do a smart person's bidding. I am contractually required to give this one a yes vote.

Good morning/afternoon/evening/night, ladies, gentlemen, helicopters and TASbots! I am being GamesFan2000, important I am not being (WHY IS FAWFUL NOT IN SMASH ULTIMATE?!). What is important is that this shiny new Smash 64 TAS has graced our computers, phones, tablets, TV's, or whatever we're watching this on. The last time we got something in this particular branch was...let me check...THIRTEEN YEARS AGO?! I wasn't even old enough to have my own internet accounts back then! I won't spoil anything, but it most certainly hits it out of the park in terms of entertainment. I have to say yes to this.

I'm a little bit confused about the judging situation regarding this TAS. This was claimed almost immediately by one of the judges, but then it reverted to being unclaimed a couple days ago, and now adelikat has claimed it. No pressure, but what happened?

Super Mario Bros. is a game where white men can and must jump across death pits to save a princess. So, of course, HappyLee and his entourage decided to see how sparsely they can use the jump button while still completing the game. But first, we must explain parallel universes...wait a minute, wrong Mario game. From a technical perspective, this TAS is ridiculous. Literally every trick you know of and a dozen that you didn't know is used to the fullest extent in the name of shaving off A-presses. Forget parallel universes, how about DIFFERENT TYPES OF GRAVITY?! Who the hell would've thought that Super Mario Bros., a game for the Nintendo Entertainment System, had different types of gravity for specific situations that could be abused for our benefit? Not to mention all of the Shadow Realm shenanigans involving Koopas and Buzzy Beetles walking through walls and on thin air, and, most bizarrely, Mario casting a spell on a Spiny to turn it into a Koopa, among other things. All of this comes packaged nicely with HL's classic brand of entertainment. In conclusion, shut up and take my Yes vote.

I really don't know what to say. This TAS is excellent in every aspect. This goes without saying, but I have to give this a yes.

I'm going to say yes. While 2 player is indeed faster and similar to this, the main RTA category is 1 player, so I think this should be accepted. And there's also the fact that Super C has a 1 player TAS published, so there's a precedent for this.

Jesus Christ! Masterjun, you are a madman! You managed to save more than two seconds off the previous TGM2+ TAS AND get all gold medals on top of that, something the previous TAS didn't do. An easy yes vote.
