I saved 1 frame at about frame 1800. Desyncs soon after due to enemy RNG. User movie #638075034534316729 I did that by jumping earlier and higher, in order to gain higher falling speed and thus get on the lower ground sooner. Seems to be applicable in order spots on the movie. I don't feel like resyncing the rest of the movie myself. This i no big deal, I could just accept this submission as is, but I figured you may wanted to know about the possible improvement. Just tell me if you want to improve this submission or you want me to accept it without updating it.

I have two problems with the proposed solution. First of all, this giving a general definition of what's a game, seems unnecessarily complex to me. But more importantly, it broadens the range of accepted games too much. Not that I'm personally against it, but I think we should do it gradually, in order to avoid unexpected situations that we may not want to get. I think we need to have a clearer vision of what we want to accept and what we don't want to. For me, the issue is not about what games we want to accept, but about what movies. Because many games may be applicable only for specific goals, like full-completion or maximum score, but not for fastest-completion. Also, I think that the community still doesn't want to start accepting completely trivial movies, like Rhythm games, for which there is not even the need for TASing tools in order to produce a perfect movie, and the difference wouldn't be noticeable not only when watching the movie, but not even while making it. So my conclusion is that a movie should be acceptable if there is a minimum requirement of basic TASing techniques in order to make a movie. This would means that submissions like Duck Hunt and all Bowling games would become acceptable, while a Desert Bus movie would remain unacceptable due to the low effort required for playing it (beside physical stamina, I guess). In any case, I want to make sure that the community is happy with it.

i should have made it more clear that all the movie comments from #7274: NEVERDOORS's GC Luigi's Mansion in 09:27.42 still apply here as well, so yes we start from SRAM because the option to go to the Hidden Mansion (rather than 'The Mansion', or the Normal Mansion as it's called) is only present when the game has been completed once. This skips several mandatory cutscenes only present on the first playthrough, as well as having to visit the Training Room for a tutorial on using the vacuum.
Oh I see. I was confused by the fact that the currently published movie doesn't contain the starting SRAM data, but only gives the procedure to produce it in its relative submission page. Also, I have to point out that after that it was published for Alternative class, we added SRAM-starting movies to the list of goals allowed for Standard, So the class for that movie should be changed, and the obsoleted movie should become an independent branch. Also, both the published movie and this submission should implement a label for making distinction from clean SRAM-starting movies. Something like "Hidden Mansion" or "Hidden Mansion mode".

Have you also already considered "no OoB"? That's a pretty popular acronym in my opinion, and it's short!

As far as I know I at least matched the time of the other TAS I could find out there.
Have you tried contacting them to ask if they want to submit their run here? https://www.speedrun.com/user/Maman/

Why starting from SRAM? Is that needed to unlock some sort of newgame+ advantage?

I think that a more appropriate ending would be after selecting "No" on the last question, in order to display a more ending-ful dialogue: Do you agree?

Desyncs on the first proxy jump, in Sunny Villa. I'm using BizHawk version 2.7 and the game version USA 1.0, as stated in the submission. Can someone please check? Note that I'm using a confirmed dump.

If you're worried the term is more unclear than superfluous you clarify by using "No Mission Aborts".
Yeah, I like this better, because it's more friendly for unfamiliar audience. Same reason why I'd prefer to keep "no out of bounds" instead of using "inbounds".

Thank you, your explanation was exhaustive for me. I have another question though: would allowing OoB result in a much faster or different movie?

Is it necessary to mention in the label the "no aborts" part? Would allowing aborts allow to save time anywhere?

All right, I get that it's already known as "100 Egg". On the other hand, "No Sorceress Skip" doesn't make sense to me, because it's not like the boss fight itself can be skipped, but only the 100 eggs requirement.

I already watched the TAS but I'm gonna watch it again... I will give a proper feedback after that. Meanwhile, I wanted to talk about the branch label. It looks cool! It's just like SM64 publications, where the label indicates the amount of stars collected (120, 70, 16, 1, 0, etc.) however... this submission doesn't collect 100 eggs, but actually 101! So I guess that it would make more sense for the label to reflect that?

i don't understand the second question. killing them again? the enemy kaiju return to their normal power levels on the later planets and they aren't all present together again until planet-x,.
Oh so this password affects the enemies for the first planet only?

-Category rules require you to defeat all enemy Kaiju before exiting the planet.
Just to be sure: is this required in-game to advance to the next planet, or is this a self-imposed goal?

Since the special content from the DAM password is only on Earth, exiting Earth is the suitable endpoint for the category.
So, would killing them again be exactly the same as on Earth?

Makes sense, but how much different is this from a regular play? (I mean an "any%" TAS)

More like an easter egg. I guess we just have to change the label to "warps" and give to the published movie "warpless".

I've noticed that you wasted time by jumping too late on the stairs. If you jump earlier, you can avoid bumping into stairs. This is what you've done: And this is what you should do: There is more than one place where you need to fix this. Don't worry and take your time, I'll wait for you.

Just out of curiosity: are the following loops harder? Apparently the enemies move a little faster. (don't worry, this isn't a problem for the acceptability of this submission)

I saved 52 frames on the movie provided by Alyosha. User movie #638052456916377304 At this point I'd suggest the author of the submission to cancel and open a forum thread of this game, because we've got past beyond the original movie route and stuff.
