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

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.

Sorry for the delay and lack of clarity.
I'll say... no thanks on coauthorship this time.
It took less than 5 minutes to create and in my eyes, my improvement is pretty close in spirit to removing trailing blank frames at the end of a movie (which would not generally merit coauthorship).
Thank you.
I'll be passing judgement tonight on this.

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Just want to make sure if "Standard" is the correct class to publish this since my warrior within run with the same goal was published to "Alternative".
Hey GMP...our staff discussed this and we are going to keep it on "Standard". Just to let you know, this would not be like the "Old Rules", where a classification indicates the level of quality or entertainment. Whether it is "Standard" or "Alternative", the TAS is not de-valued at all. It's just a classification according to goal types.
Perhaps we need to clean up some publication's classifications, as we may have gotten some wrong.

Review
I went a bit further than necessary for review purposes and tinkered with the inputs.
This led to a 7-frame improvement in the final "Run, dummy!" section by doing first-frame A-presses instead an autofire on-off pattern.
I also found a few other improvements to other bosses' RNG that would require redoing the entire TAS or major portions to sync (and probably require more tools and scripts to optimize well).
Just wanting to be clear here...are you requesting co-authorship?
