Ok, I'm agree here's faster my run. I'm a newbie in frames war, can't make best in each frame. I need learn more than. I just feel sad if my run will become to obsolete by this, it's not fair play, better if my run get beat by other pacifist run. Ok, I vote Meh
Fair play is hosting high quality movies in terms of both optimization and entertainment. We can never allow accepting all possible branches for all possible games. Some branches will always be too similar to each other. I'm trying to prevent having several branches that are hardly different to the audience. It is always repeated that only really entertaining movies will have strong chances in Moons. Borderline cases must be discussed with the audience, and that's what I'm doing right now.

The thing is, currently these 2 runs ARE still different. They won't be when MESHUGGAH makes his own version of pacifist. His pacifist version will look almost exactly like this submission, so by entertainment, the existing pacifist will still be better. But it will be proven sloppy! So I'm trying to find a way to obsolete it right now, because I can't see anything sane to do if what I describe happens.

Now this run raises a weird question. The pacifist version wasn't strongly disliked only because the any% one didn't exist to compare to. Now it is here and will be accepted as a speed record to Vault. Then fun starts: MESHUGGAH submits an improvement over pacifist, and it will look as boring as this movie. Reject? But it's a fair improvement! Accept/obsolete? But it's really too similar to the existing any%! My proposal: Obsolete branches that look too similar to each other. But any% has the greatest priority. So, any% can obsolete side branch if they look too similar. What do you think?

People should try reading decisions if they don't understand right away why they were made. Also, now this game looks boring as hell, heavy same-glitch abuse can't help it to me, just makes it more repetitive. No vote.

What if he shows up during the publication process? That rule doesn't save us from 100% all possibilities. It only saves from random encoders who create random items for random submissions.

Alright, my worst expectations were true. What does that rule say about superjudges who not just accept but publish themselves? Also, how many superjudges existed at the time of that super-up-to-date rule? And still, if I'm personally judging a run, is there a single reason that can destroy my chance to accept it after the decision was already thoroughly made?

I'm still curious of why at all you ask. I use to post such links to use during publishing if they are ready way before I actually publish it.

Oh my God! No one can know whether it will be accepted or not, even myself! Why didn't you ask the same question about last Metroid Fusion 100%? It had all Archive uploads even before being submitted!

Then I'll tell what I know. Warner most likely (87.9% it's true) used some random SMB footage and uploaded their copyrighted vid to youtube. YT copyright system now thinks any SMB footage similar to the segment Warner has belongs to Warner. Claiming back is a piece of cake, but you'd need to wait for them to read your claim and make a decision. All that time (about a month) TVC will stay time-limited. Now about what to write. I did it this way when my SMB uploads were hit by belonging to AlbinoBlackSheep. I send a message that this guy has nothing on earth to do with SMB, all rights belong to Nintendo. And the particular video I uploaded was captured from console from the cartrige I own, so I have a right to post gameplay footage for the purpose of research. Yes, I lied (tases aren't recorded from console, but those guys don't give a heck about how tases are recorded).

I've heard TVC got a time limit for copyright violation. Is it true, and what to do if it is?

Thanks! Also, resampling and merging WAVs must e possible in avisynth as well.

FractalFusion: Imagine lsnes had a perfect GB emulation, and VBA had it terrible. And Masterjun did a run on a perfect emulator, what is slower than on a terrible one. Imagine even p4wn3r himself did that and could not improve over his own VBA movie. Would you accept such submission? Or imagine Masterjun TASed SMW any% on BizHawk and it appeared to be slower than on snes9x (any branch of which is anyway worse than bsnes core). Would that be accepted? The answer always used to be: if the gameplay was improved (no matter how long cutscenes lasted or how many lag it had on loading the level), it will be accepted. Otherwise - not. But now (as I stated right in the first post), the question becomes (even according to your post): was the respectable effort put into making the very movie? Because if the effort was huge enough, you would need to accept the slower movie because it is way closer to being ran on console. But it presents no improvements in real time, though no misoptimization losses either, so it can not just obsolete the less accurate movie. This is why I suggest adding co-authors. And once again, only VERY accurate emulator movies must be considered wanted to make off of VERY inaccurate emulator movies. So, I'm just suggesting the ways to judge the cases you want judged case-by-case. Sure, it would be case-by-case, because there would be NO exact factor such movies could be accepted by (as now is real-time length). But each of them can easily be figured out right now. Now please point out where my thoughts contradict yours.

If the audience feels 1-payer run looks too similar to 2-payer run and doesn't enjoy it, it is rejected. Same for pacifist/no damage/whatever. I'm voting No on this run. It really looks like an inferiour version of the already vaulted 2P run. Hint: Making unvaultable versions of already vaulted runs is a bad idea in general.

I would like that info base to be connected to the Guide I made: http://tasvideos.org/TasingGuide.html And especially with this page: http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/CommonTricks.html Though, the latter speaks mostly about the logics of what you do to games, while you seem to mean different input applications, like what kinds of input should be tested.
