Just to note that FractalFusion is a top tier Judge and TASer since more than 10 years ago. I'm sure he knows his stuff!
Also, welcome back Fractal! It is so great to see you again!

This is going to be interesting.
It is! FeelsEvilMan.
Will watch and vote afterwards. Spoiled by some posts though RIP.
EDIT: Voting Yes for one reason: Japanese Alucard lines, Kappa.
Jk, Maria into Alucard is just amazing! Playing this in AGDQ with TASBot is going to be hilarious!

From what I can see, the enemies outside the camera can't hurt Juste. It would be more than a trade-off for visuals if that is done.
Well, if we focus on enemies being skipped, there aren't much that will slow down the pace of the run much. Big portion is in Marble Corridor but only enemies like Medusa or Flea Men. Also, I think killing them also adds entertainment.

The problem with thinking of it this way is that essentially this would be another branch for a game that already has five of them. Especially considering the current fastest completion run has heavy glitch abuse, is there really a justification for making a seperate "game-end glitch" branch for this game?
The reason is that the run doesn't complete in a regular way, it skips major bosses straight to the end, unlike current Any%. I'm not sure though if that how others will see it or how the judge will consider it, but from what I've seen, game end glitch runs end in similar way.

I'd actually say this isn't an Any% run more like a game end glitch run, since neither Maxim nor Dracula have been fought, and we didn't see Dracula at all lol.
As for entertainment, I have one question: Should saving and restarting at the start of the run fix the camera? If so, then it would be better if it was done that way rather than needing the help of camhack to watch it.
I like the idea of skipping Talos which is insane, and surprised me honestly!

I agree with Blazephlozard in which as long as a submission covers what it should cover for the movie in question, there is no problem in putting personal statements, weither political or not.
Sometimes, a submission can mark a certain event going on, and it is okay to describe it in very few lines, so when someone reads through it, he founds that the movie was made during the time that event was happening, and that makes sense in my opinion.
I didn't watch the run entirely, but from what I saw, it is so damn good!! Yes vote!!! Glad you're back to TASing, Upthorn!!!

If we look at BCAS, the most enjoyable thing is the high speed and the air sliding. This created many funny moves throughout the run. The level layouts, weapons and bosses attack patterns looking pretty much close to the original MM4 game.
The special things about -infinity and Voyage is that they introduce new weapons much advanced attack patterns for bosses (like in Spirit of the Hackers hack of MM6), as well as completely different stage layouts, making them far more superior than BCAS.

1000% Map is interesting. I just played this game again this week (school suspended), and I was thinking if there is a run that clears it 1000%. Luckily, I found it, lol.

Great job guys! What a great new year start!

I'm not sure if this is directly related as I wasn't aware of the xvid workaround, but which version of Dolphin was used? Versions prior to 4.0-3595 will require an alternative av sync build to get the dump to sync correctly, and whilst 4.0-3595 fixed dumping to no longer require the av sync hack, it became severely broken on Windows systems until ffmpeg dumping was introduced in 4.0-8634. This means that in order to get a reliable dump out of 4.0-3595-4.0-8634, I've always had to use Linux (which already used ffmpeg for video dumping). I honestly dread hearing about this range of Dolphin revisions.
I see. Well, at least later versions (>4.0-8634) have fixed dumping. I guess I'll just use a "worst" way to record AVI using an external screen recorder, cause why not? lol, will try using Linux for dumping and see how it works though.
EDIT: Managed to do encode the run in an NES style. Download the encode here. (MP4 Compatibility).
Used built-in audio dumper, but for video, used an external screen recorder with Lagarith codec, and surprisingly got audio and video in sync.
The method I used is absolutely not recommended (not even good), but I would tell how I did it if anyone interested to know.
