You can skip all you want as long as you activate all checkpoints.

The warp only appears if you make all the objects of that area spawn, which requires spawning all the previous areas objects.

The coordinates don't help you make sure some input is optimal in this game, only trial and error does.

It wasn't your question whether you need to activate them all in a warpless tas, was it?
It puts you here:

All of this is answered by the 1p warpless movie and its submission text.

Can't speak for the other judge but console verification sounds like a good reason to use that mode.

If it syncs without deleting anything, that doesn't tell us if it actually depends on sram or not. The submitted file contains a savestate that autoloads if you drag-n-drop it onto lsnes, as well as sram.srm that is non-zero. To know that the parser detected sram anchor erroneously, one is meant to delete the thing that confused it and check sync again.

Preventing coronavirus epidemic in russia:
[3:54 AM] CoolHandMike: would a concentration camp type deal work? or maybe doing a large forced quarantine for a large city area? i think we in the US are doing both of those.
[3:54 AM] moozooh: russia has pretty extensive history with concentration camps, lol
[3:55 AM] Bloopiero: I don't think packing people together and putting them into forced labor is going to help, mike

Trip World is maybe not as brilliant as this fine masterpiece, but still as good as it was in 2015 when we starred it. Amazing graphics, great music, fast pace, several characters, varied gameplay, glitches... cool stuff.
Pac-In-Time is not bad, but way too long and not particularly enjoyable for my own taste. What do others think?

The rule about triviality and standing out from unassisted play is about acceptability of games, not movies. It's logical suicide to declare a game trivial retroactively, after there was already a movie that clearly showed the game was fine, and then to try solving the artificial problems that come arise. When Pinocchio happened I didn't dig deep enough to realize this, now it's kinda clear.
The submission was beating the unassisted records when it was created, and there's no rule saying "if you get tied by RTA before you're published, you're rejected". Getting beaten by RTA during that period would indeed be a problem, because it's known improvements. But so far there are none.
This improvement doesn't stand out from unassisted speedrun anymore, but once again, it's a game requirement, not a movie requirement. Let alone legitimate improvements to published movies.

Comparison video
Link to videommbossman said about the current run that it doesn't look too different from the 2P one, and even though this is a new movie, I kind of agree that the same applies to it and 1P. The facts that it was initially sent to Vault also means there's little chance to have 2 branches for this game.

The current publication has a Forgoes time-saving death tag, but it wasn't clear in its submission text if it was actually a way to have a shorter movie. Can you address it please?

Why do you think it will be included? If the goal is different then gameplay will be different across levels.

Am I doing something wrong or you can't use B anymore after this movie ends? There's a new layout but B isn't working.

It'd use global configs if you don't have portable.txt alongside it. I tried with and without it and had no luck tho.
EDIT: Desyncs on linux too.

Vynneve, do you still have the original file you submitted? My DONEEEEEEE.dtm says it was not edited since I downloaded it, but somehow it stopped syncing for me no matter what I change in Dolphin configs (the updated movie doesn't sync either anymore). Please post it again to make sure I haven't accidentally messed something up:

Does that problem happen with other games too? I remember Abobo worked fine for me.

It would be ridiculously mean and counter-productive to completely disregard all the actual gameplay and its optimality and just reject because you're not overclocking the load times because the original hardware can't do that. Bonus points for overclocking it via something that's not even emulated on an acceptable level and has no usable TAS features.
Here's how we actually compare runs:

Sounds like it's all about execution, just with unconventional mechanics. Not a conventional platform either tho. No idea what to call it.

While playing casually, is it hard to figure out and decide how to get to the exit in King of Swing?

Can you stop this ignorance? We work as hard as we can on designing them so they fit all the tastes of the watchers, TASers, judges, admins, while also being logical, usable, reliable, future-proof. If some situation out of 1098992786475476379809897387647547398329864 possible combinations of reality was not predicted with crystal clarity in advance, it doesn't mean that all our rules are stupid or crap. In addition, if you try to account for literally every possibility, 1) you never finish writing the rules, and 2) if you do, they will be infinitely long each. You have no idea what judges are going through with how detailed the current rules try to be, yet unpredictable problems raise every now and then and we have one brainstorming session after another to invent how to resolve it. But no, it's so much more comfortable to just yell out that the rules are stupid anyway, because who cares to actually read, apply, or design them, right?
