I guess the twin kindergarten-level submissions of this + my little pony will finally force tasvideos to set a precedent about whether target audience is a criterion for what constitutes bad game choice...

13 votes with no encode? Clearly this is going to be more about setting a precedent (or not) concerning kindergarten-level games. That said, yes vote.
kidding. encode... please?

I get Switzerland all the time on Giant DK in Adventure. Standing in the right place causes him to forward-air of down-air directly into the water. BTW, why is it called Switzerland? Is there some joke I'm not getting?

Wak017, like moozooh said, a re-submission w/ the credits being shot would probably fare much better. I for one would change my vote to yes. Are you planning to submit another version?

I decided to go with No... my central gripe remains the credits being untouched, but I think other people have raised good points about the run being inconsistent, i.e. sometimes going for entertainment, sometimes going for speed, or at least, so it seems.
EDIT: I LOVE Mitjitsu's idea of doing a 4p match, I think one that goes purely for entertainment could be positively epic & hilarious, especially if executed in a sort of "comedy show" style. =)

YOU DIDN'T SHOOT THE CREDITS!!!!!!!!!
Watching this was like experiencing a really awesome concert, except at the very end, when everyone is expecting the band to close with something amazing, they just walk off stage, and everyone is like, wtf? That's it? They're not gonna play Hey Jude??!!? ARRRRGH!!!!
Sorry, but despite its awesomeness, I just can't vote yes with the credits left intact.

Poor Mario works so hard to rescue that ungrateful ho, and what does he get? A pack of insensitive TASers taking away his BLJ, that's what. Not cool, guys. "Hey Princess, I rescued your ass again, how about some BLJ?" "Nah, sorry Mario, I have a headache, but here, have some cake."
omgwut? I mean, awesome job, yes, obviously <3

After watching this, I felt depressed over my past relationships with sandwiches, and am now thinking I should move to Saskatchewan, where I could take up small engine repair, and engine repair.
That said, yes vote because you got to the credits without finishing the game.

... However, since I personally detest savegame corruption as a technique (if a password were used to jump right to the end of the game, this would be rejected, but because it's achieved with savegame corruption, it becomes ok; I'm not sure I agree that there's such a relevant difference) I find it hard to vote "yes" on good conscience. It would feel like letting a criminal go based on a minute technicality. You know he's guilty, but you have to let him go because of the law.
Yeeeaah I kinda also feel like this is more or less a "grey-area" sort of technique in terms of legitimacy, but for a different reason; I think that a game's failure to atomically create a save - IMHO at least - is hardly a programming error, cuz the exceptionally rare real-time case in which the player accidentally resets during a 2-frame save process is so unlikely to happen, that it's probably not worth the programmer expending the effort to recognize and deal with that situation.
THAT SAID, I vote yes simply because I think the result is totally awesome in this case. Chrono Trigger is my favorite run on the site, but also a major savegame corrupter. I consider it to be the ultimate example of the "whatever, it's awesome, <3" voting criterion, and I think that criterion deserves its fair share of weight.

I still think it might be a good idea to have a phase between submission & forum topic. Seems lately the admins have had to be squeezin their gats til da clips is empty. Just sayin.
