I'd like to raise another point just for clarity:
- Using dirty save file in order to skip cutscenes.
Example: Metroid Prime
Would this be considered a 'newgame+'? I know that [1759] GBA Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow "all souls, inbounds" by Kriole in 24:56.10 starts from SRAM in order to access hard mode, but also benefits from the skipable cutscenes.

I can see this categories for OoT being published:
any%
100%
All dungeons or MST
No RBA/no WW
This run is somewhere in between any% and no RBA/no WW and is technically arbitrary. But did I find it entertaining? Of course, it shows a route that can't be seen in any other category and has that extra cool WTF-ending.
Besides, if a Super Metroid RBO is publishable, why not this?
This run is as arbitrary as a "No RBA/no WW". Especially since that one would be the old DOT Skip -> beat shadow,spirit temple -> Get bow/magic/light arrow -> beat ganon and offers nothing except being a shorter MST.
This is in a similar position to the mario 64 16-stars, except it offers many things that appears only in this run and not even in a 100% run.

Interesting how short lived the other two 'empty workbench' were.
However, a more relevant datapoint would be the longest/average/variance of the time between two submissions?
For example, it's been about 12+ days since the last submission.

The download link got broken, there's a in the end of it that shouldn't be there.
I like how snap0067 tells a lot of what's wrong in the TAS but doesn't spoil too much.

That was a nice TAS with neat glitches :D
I've tried this game's GBA connection on Dolphin myself and it did infact work, at least thousand of revisions ago (at least 1+ year ago), but it real slow.
There's also the question how well it would sync and how the TAS tools work when you're working with 5 different applications running...

Improving the TAS in less time the publishing process takes, twice!
At least the encode's easier to make now, since IT'S SO SHORT.
Yes vote, of course!

I'm not sure how to explain what a vector is, so pointing to the right artcile and hoping you've already learned that at school is good :)
A normalized vector is a vector which length 1, meaning the only information it provides is a direction. This would be combined with a speed in order to calculate the movement.
Vectors are usually stored in memory with three numbers, for x/y/z. These values also probably aren't integers and instead floating point numbers (or fixed point, depends on the n64).

This is best conclusion to this kind of conversation ever. I checked it here and it's also the 2.0 version with the "glitch".

All NES Mega Man games does not have this feature expect for Mega Man 10. Adding this code to all NES Mega Man games would fundamentally change their routes, planning but obviously increase the momentum.
At least Mega Man 2 has a Japanese-only PSX version where you can switch weapons without pausing.
There's two things about this "code":
could it be considered a hack? Wii cheatcodes are quite powerful, just look at the all the SSBB hacking.
Compared to a run aiming for in-game time, the run overall doesn't change much, other than the removed pauses.
