Hi Nymx! We've found yet a new improvement to this movie so I'll ask you to hold on judging for a bit ;)
No problem. Just let me know when you are ready. :)

Ok...I've given you 5 days to respond and I'm getting nothing. So here is the deal...Asumeh has mentioned a number of improvements and I can see some, but just not all. The competition is high with SMB style games and small situations become more questionable than less popular games.
Because you have not responded with an answer to these concenrs, I'm rejecting this submission.

If I were to play on a less difficult level, the points would obviously be less. But I must be missing something in the manual...does speed increase points?
Hey Nymx! I did some research myself, but also found this FAQ which clarifies scoring. Here are my findings:
The points and bonus obtained (e.g., by adding pipe, doing a loop, doing a crossover, etc) are independent from both the difficulty and the speed selected
The max difficulty enables a highest score indirectly: it offers more "gimmicks", like wall-holes, end pipe, pre-placed pipes, all of which increase the bonus.
The speed plays no role in score; it just makes the challenge more exciting
Thanks. That clears it up.

I put this submission on delay at your request, maybe a month ago. it's been a while and I'm wondering if you have any improvements. If you are not making the progress that you figured by now, we can just cancel this , in lieu of a future submission.

Ok. I have been reviewing the changes that Asumeh has mentioned. I may not see everything, but I have recognized some of them as potential improvements.
Here is what I would like to do...can anything be done in a timely manner to bring this up to speed? If not, you have the option of canceling your submission, otherwise...I am forced to reject this submission. Please let me know as soon as you can.

Oops!
I found that this movie can be improved simply by starting from the save slot 2 instead of the save slot 1, because I can restart one less time. With this and some very minor changes (most of them are because of the difference of lag frames), it saves a huge 330 frames.
/UserFiles/Info/639074287382819909 This is the new movie. Should I cancel this submission, or just update the movie file?
No...you do not have to cancel the submission. I'll replace it. Thank you!

Settled out: yes
Authors list: the submission list matches the ltm file list. As for who can or cannot be in that list, idk? Both other authors have brought some small contribution to this. Not sure how you usually do, but I'm fine with leaving both as co-authors
Thank you.

Thanks goes out to DrD2k9 for performing a sync test on this one. It is clear that I am having issues with some of my machines. I'm still stuck in the past, using older operating systems.

I don't know if you are aware of the comments that are left in your submission, but we provide them upon judging. The comment below is something that you need to take in consideration, as staff would likely disable your account if you continue to submit unoptimized movies.
Please try and use all resources available to figure out how to optimize your work. This is your fourth submission and the idea of improving is not being demonstrated. We are a community that would be willing to point you in the right direction for making better TASes.

ShgofcTAS, I have one question. You have proven that this submission is unoptimal. Because you stated that it needs additional work, I am guessing that you do not want to offer your inputs as an improvement to be a co-author of this TAS. Correct?
my inputs were made quickly and definitely can be further improved. aside from that i still think this game is generally not interesting from a TASing standpoint so yea, i prefer not to be a co-author
Ok. Thank you. Then i can proceed with judgement.
As for the game not being interesting, that used to be a factor with the old rules...which were replaced about 3 years ago. This would be a "Standard" classification, which basically means we are going for the fastest version of 100%, any%, or some other completion category.

Because of your quick turn-around on this improvement...I'm going to sit on this submission for a while. We have had a reduction in staff and we need to ensure that we are not throwing every TAS for publication. The load of work is extremely high and we don't have enough people to handle it.
If you don't mind, please try and examine for more improvements. If you are successful, please let me know and I'll upload a replacement input file on this submission.
