Nice, my first video game finally gets a long overdue tas. I loved how you owned the sharp turns with one of the clumsiest characters. Voting yes for a great submission.

I think adelikat did not consider the long term consequences of the improvement in that one level. This submission should be reinstated to "waiting" status.

Even then, you'd still have to plan a sequence that forms an even tetris shortly before the score counter overflows, then manipulate those exact pieces to come.

Right, but straights allow you to get the earliest tetris, which is what matters.
Do you just mean that because they are longer in the verticle direction, they "land" faster than other pieces?
No, what I mean is that it takes at least 4(?) rows before a tetris can be made. If you get a lot of crooked pieces, you're gonna have to make the full 4 rows as well as an uneven 5th row, wasting time. Granted it's possible to produce an even 4 rows using pieces besides straights as longs as you don't get the z-shaped pieces every time, but doing that would involve so much planning ahead that manipulating straight pieces every time seems easy in comparison.

I'd like to see a tas of Ztris that overflows the score counter as fast as possible, although if that involved manipulating straight pieces every time it could get dull.

Well you can just make a savestate at the beginning of each level and then load up however many copies of FCEU you need, although it can get extremely tedious to make as the number of levels increase, and even more painful to the viewer.

Yeah, that BLJ is only possible after emptying the moat. And even then, I don't see how it's useful considering you need to go through the opening door animation in order to load the castle interior.

Example: in Ocarina of Time if you save at a certain place and reset the game, you warp to a different place. This is called save-warping, and it is a nifty timesaver. However we can't use it now because the current Mupen cuts off the movie (?) after a reset, so that's why reset recording is so desired.
