The main thing I don't understand about this topic is why people are trying to have a logical conversation with other people who are clearly illogical.

Sounds about right, but again, you're still basically deciding that [x] glitch/variant of [x] glitch is okay because it doesn't skip as much. as [y] glitch.
No. The amount it is skipping is irrelevant to our stance. The means of achieving the skip is how we are making out categories with this game.
If you have a problem with mega man, you can talk about it in the mega man topic. If you have a problem with alttp, you can talk about it in the alttp topic.

you just gave him the opportunity to feel smugly superior when he uses your own words back at you and then calls you a child.

There you go using that word which no one else agrees with you on again.

So you are saying that skipping most of one stage and skipping 11 stages and the overworld and the final boss is the same level of skippage, but that skipping most of one stage and skipping half a stage is not. ?
As I said, I think the main disagreement here is what qualifies as extensive.

"well this run skips the whole game", "well this one skips most of it, but some of it is still remaining".
You have not accurately described what happens in smw runs. The 42s run skips most of the game. The any% run skips most of one level (about 1/10 of the run, not "most of the game"), while adding another level.

>>When two runs both use extensive memory corruption,
I think the disAgreement here is what qualifies as extensive. Are you opposed to the smashola which allows players to skip part of a level? I mean, If youre going to skip part of a level, you may as well just skip straight to the credits, right?

Sometimes I feel that TASvideos is becoming a massive circle-jerk, that there is an unwritten code that you have to proclaim every new run ever as the second coming of Jesus (at least if it is of a popular game).
This is not new. This site is not becoming a hardon for improvements to popular games, it always has been.
With regards to opinions: I'm not an expert, I have no idea how these magical emulator things work. I found it perfectly clear what Nach was trying to say and that opinions are not useful here because coding and magic and stuff. You know, like that old run mentioned above that got asploded because it was emulator error.

I have a rbyg snes controller, r+l does not work on that. It works on some purple button controllers and not others. I have done it many times on mine and still no apparent damage, and still just as hard to do.
that's still original hardware with the original controller... just looking a bit different. :)
So is crooked cart. To my knowledge that isn't allowed here.

On the original SNES controller (and NES I think) multidirectional input isn't possible without a modded/opened controller.
False. Many snes (and maybe other consoles) controllers can receive both left and right as input on the same frame by pressing down really hard on both sides of the d-pad. this is done without breaking or opening the controller.
