I didn't expect a new TAS with the new glitches this early! I was going to make one at some point :D
Gotta check this out asap!
EDIT: That was crazy run. Yes vote definitely!
Also, I made an encode cause I didn't notice Nicovideo and Bilibili encodes, but here is my YouTube one anyway :)

Yes vote on this one of course!
Though, I have a small concern about how you ended the run. I think it is better to finish the autoscroller for four reasons:
It is still part of the gameplay
It finishes with best ending
Not that long (around 30 seconds) which would make the run just tiny bit longer in comparison to its length
And to maintain comparison with current run, as it also goes for it

I would love for this run to be judged sooner if anyone has time for it :)
I know the work judges put on submissions is big and takes time but I put a lot of effort on this run (more than any other one). It is very important to me and I really would love for it to be published in the near future.
That said, I do not say you have to but I'd appreciate it a ton if you do it earlier :)
EDIT: I really want this to be published before 2025.

I prefer to submit first before thinking about submission text so people watch the run first instead of holding until a full submission is ready. After all, watching is the important part anyway :)

I think you're make a very important note there. Sometimes, being neck-and-neck with the run is simply impossible as it can be influenced by other time saving routes/strats.

Yeah, sparky's TAS is too good. Well, it is over a decade old so a small improvement to refresh things up would be cool. A game changing route would have to remove the revisit to Magma stage for the body part but that doesn't seem to be likely to happen. I also think that better usage of the Nova Strike can also save a bit.
Might add it to my projects list then!

I think FractalFusion wasn't talking from a judgement perspective, it is just something I noticed as well, because yeah I do agree with the fact that MMX4-6 games don't have that long "Now Loading" for it to be accelerated. That said, I appreciated HappyLee's care about viewer pleasure, it is very nice!
Also, great run HappyLee! Checked your WIPs and I didn't expect that charged ice will be that useful. It is awesome! Yes vote!
Any plans on tackling 100% run?

Regarding Alt, is it now okay if a game has so many categories? Because I remember that we were cautious about that, as accepting some (arbitrary) goals might increase the number of categories unnecessarily, but in some cases, a game might have many interesting goals.

I second what Darkman said. Playarounds conceptually aim at entertaining the audience, and as a result, time isn't a major factor, which what other classes aim for generally. Also, if a run aims for entertainment, then it will judged based on how much it is entertaining, otherwise, to stay within the proposal scope, entertainment will ignored and thus judged the way it is intended to be. Thus, it won't hurt the goal of this proposal. Actually, playaround isn't very common, like you would get a run or two in a year maybe, and mostly in fighting games, or a compilation of glitches here and there in a certain game, and that wouldn't affect judgement smoothness a lot imo.

That is something has to happen I guess. Like you said, there is just no one to blame here. While TASing is an awesome hobby, the fact that it is getting more and more popular and people seeing such content more frequently, they will just get used to it as a normal thing, and that could one of the reasons why we have less activity in submissions. However, entertainment still important, as seeing a game being broken time to time or moves at a high speed makes people enjoy that game in a different way. I would say that relying on entertainment alone is not too wise, but it at least should be mentioned. Also, people change, and TASing is not exclusive to OG people. New speedrunning enthusiasts might want to explore the site, like we all did more than a decade ago, and they should find awesome content still :)
