I really don't understand why choosing a slower difficulty would be preferred over a faster difficulty. If it was an 'all secrets' run, I'd understand, since that's the closest the game has to 100%. But for a TAS whose intention is to go as fast as possible, why should I deliberately go slower just to satisfy an archaic guideline? That's literally the exact opposite of my goal.
The idea that Easy difficulty isn't challenging to TAS is complete garbage, since even on Hard you have slowdown and savestates. If you would like, feel free to criticize a part of the movie that doesn't involve difficulty choice. But please stop relying on my choice of difficulty to discredit my work.

I'm voting Yes. This is obviously different enough from RTA play because of how soon input ends, which would justify it having a TAS. Just because it's short doesn't mean much.

Nice to see this one accepted. For a screenshot suggestion, it would be nice to have of Abe performing one of the latest glitches. Maybe a quick portal closure or a backwards jump or something.
If you have a frame for it it can be used, yeah.

Oh-kay, watched a ton of AT and I can officially say I was totally wrong about Season 6. It's probably its best season, or at least comparable to 3-5. I feel like Breezy just turned me off to a ton of the cool stuff in it for a while, plus there was general fatigue over all the filler. Now that I can just watch all the good stuff without waiting it's much better.
Here's my own viewing order for AT. It has a lot more filler then Kenny's list, but said filler is so good that I can't possibly skip it.

Update time.
Currently improving the above posted WIP. I discovered a new trick that allows me to cancel out finishers.
To do this trick, you just attack twice and then use a kick while holding down forward. Any forward movement at all will make the kick revert to normal instead of finisher, which will eventually save quite a bit of time in the long run.

Because so many people sung praises for it, I once gave Adventure Time a chance, and watched the first two seasons.
I didn't get it. I found it mostly boring and pointless, and didn't find much enjoyment or idea in it.
Yeah first two seasons are pretty eh.

I tried watching a few episodes from those later seasons, but I still found it mostly boring, uninteresting and pointless. I just couldn't see what other people are seemingly seeing.
It's certainly not a show you can just jump into. If you want to give it another go, try following Kennyman's view order.
Anyway on the topic of Adventure Time, l might as well say my favorites(z)
First off, the best character by far is Marceline because she's completely chill, is a vampire, has a good voice actor, and has a cool backstory. I'm very glad Season 7 is finally giving us more Marceline, especially with the Stakes mini-series.
Favorite episode is a bit tougher, mainly due to how insanely good late season 4/season 5 is. So, I'll split it up a tad.
In terms of sheer emotional impact and character development, I Remember You. In terms of sheer rewatchability, What Was Missing.
I am glad that AT has gotten back on track with plot/character episodes. Nothing worse then having an episode revolve around Jake's butt.
Would probably rank the seasons as follows:
Season 5 (everything except wizards only, fools)
Season 4 (finale, iry, l&p, card wars)
Season 6 (premiere, finale, the tower)
Season 7 (stakes, crossover, varmints)
Season 3 (wwm/hjs)
Season 2 (season finale)
Season 1 (introducing marceline...?)
Onto SU......

Jail Break is easily the best SU episode but also an episode that requires context, SU is not a show where you can just dive in whereever.
Rewatched it, and yeah it's probably the best one. Action, song number, jokes, etc. I really love Sworn to the Sword and The Answer though.
Favorite character is Garnet. Do I even need to elaborate. Second is Connie. Again, do I need to elaborate.
