Lol, this is a good counter-argument to 'Why do we need accurate emulators, zsnes is actually BETTER than the real thing because it eliminates lag' people.
Or you could get creative with editing and go all Zeno's paradox on it. (Have a timer onscreen and accelerate the video until you get so fast there's only one blurred frame, calling it "infinite speed" and having the infinity symbol on the clock.)
But wouldn't it be acceptable for tasvideos since there is not and never will be a 'non-altered alternative'?
I'd like to see an official precedent set on it, either way, so people know whether to spend their time on this or not.

Tompa will instantly start working on the former and MUGG will instantly start working on the latter
As an example I used Super Mario All-Stars where SMB3 reads one of the uninitialized values and if that is 0x80 (so you basically have a 1/256 chance on a real SNES) allows you to change the powerup status when pressing select:
Wow, why does that work? And if it's really a 1/256 chance, couldn't someone dedicated enough on console get this to happen?
This point is most important as MegaMan is blocked in certain parts of the world.
but I'm able to watch megaman videos from my desktop computer, so I think italy has not megaman restrictions?
I think watching youtube from a mobile device has more what-country-do-you-live-in restrictions than watching it from a PC. I don't remember the details.

I think this kind of Atari game is not TASable yet?
But it would be extremely cool. Here in this video the player has to be meticulously careful around everything due to the dangerousness of enemies and the size of his hitbox. But a TAS could do an intricate dance, carve the tightest path possible, care little for lasers that might turn on, etc. It would be short and sweet and completely inhuman.

Mario went through the brick an extra time to manipulate screen X position and to make the castle maze more interesting, with no time loss (though slightly slower).
Now I'm confused, but I loved it, too. Well, I'm not insane, not yet, so Yes vote, to both of you guys.
He means it was slower but it wasn't slow enough to lose a 21 frame rule. (If you don't know what this means, the game can only advance to a new stage every 21 frames on a global timer, so you can only gain or lose time in 21 frame increments.)
