I noticed that the genre of the publication says Strategy instead of RPG, and the "heavy luck manipulation" tag is missing. Can somebody please change that? Thanks.
So, if I make a TAS of an Atari game right now, would it be inmedeately rejected because the current official version of the emu isn't really that accurate? What I'm supposed to do then? Of course I can only wait, but who knows when the next release is coming out...
Could someone familiar with both the SMS and GG versions of this game explain whether or not they're different enough to be published alongside each other?
I'll leave that opinion up to someone who didn't make the TAS, but I thought I'd point out some levels that differ the most.
The character stops moving for no apparent reason from time (1:21) to time (1:31)
This is faster than keep moving forward. I need to refill my power bar a little to make a jump without getting tired and doing consecutive frame perfect jumps that delay my movement before that. (see original WIPs from long ago).
BTW, any screenshot suggestions? I dunno which one to choose, so what are you guys' favorite moments from the run?
Since nobody really seemed to watch the movie file, I guess I'll do one of my patented crappy encodes:

Ridiculously more polished and optimized than I ever thought it could be 2 years ago.
Umm... Hey guys, I just noticed that the publication isn't linked to me or Spike, the version of the game says unknown, and the "Aims for maximum score" category is missing. Can somebody please fix this? Thanks!
That's because this isn't the optimal solution; iirc real time runs abuse a glitch that allows pretty much all battles to instant end. Early pokemon games are weird like that.
But what about games like Zelda 2, Kirby's Adventure or SoTN? Those games have that category going on. The "no memory corruption" branch looks weird in comparison to those other games.
Can I make a suggestion? I think this publication should be branchless and the ACE run should be called "game end glitch". I mean every other game with ACE does that, so why not this game?
I found some useless graphical glitches:
They're done in Level 6-3, and it uses a glitch that lets you swim in the air, beneath a slope. It's kinda precise, but it's easy once you get the precise position in the slope.
I think this is useless, but it looks cool nonetheless. (also i dunno where else to post this...)
