Where is Tompa? He could join us but it would just make our team too over powered.

As the old team is fine.
Watch out.
I've been sort of spending time off the site for a bit, haven't wanted to TAS in a while, or anything related to TASing. I'm up for analyzing the snap out of whatever this next game will be, though. NES is comfortable with me. Perhaps by the time the contest is going, I'll be ready.
Nice. For the last 5 years or so I haven't done anything TAS-related apart from these contests so you'll do fine too.

So if one wants to boycott a submission they would just comment without voting or simply ignore the thread completely.
"Meh" is not a logically sensible answer to the question "Did you find this movie entertaining?". By voting "Meh" the voter still abstains from the poll, just ironically using the same facility as the participants use.
So if you don't like Iphones, you can buy one and smash it with a hammer.
That's a valid form of boycotting, according to your logic.

For the record, my vote was "meh".

And then it came, was watched with really high expectations, but did not quite live up to them.
It appears to me that you, maybe pirate_sephiroth and some others mistook what the "Meh" option is intended for in such a poll, which is, as I interpret, to allow voters to boycott the poll itself in a quick way, instead of abbreviating the word "Mediocre". That is why the option is not put between "Yes" and "No", but in the last row.
Perhaps we should change "Meh" to some text like "I don't care" that is clearer, and provide a "Mediocre" option if we really desire it.

A 'meh' vote clearly displays undesirable behaviour. It's an obvious way to give mediocre people the illusion of making an important choice.

Yes, polls are necessary.
"Meh" votes, on the other hand, have always been useless.
I have a great idea though. You could make it so everyone who votes 'meh' gets a 1 day postblock, just so they learn that mediocrity never pays off.
This should help them learn to be more enthusiastic about everything in life.

you could try to do something stupid to make the passage of time less painful, like moving in some sort of pattern, making a step every second and completing the loop every 60 steps

Just so you don't feel all alone in here, I checked through the latest movie.
There are a lot of turn arounds before landing on ledges which I don't understand what they are for. I know turning around helps when you can go from a >14f jump to a 14f jump, or when clearing a gap which would be to wide otherwise. But in other cases I thought just holding jump for 1 more frame was faster?.
Due to the poor jump height control it is often best to do a smaller jump + turn around to land and dash earlier.

Not only that: before the contest start, I didn't know of any glitches.
My main reason for picking this game, was because of the huge amount of routes. Every weapon has its own quirks, and every level layout is very different, so the possibilities looked countless to me at first. And in fact, most submitted runs resulted very different (tough that was mainly because of the different glitches discovered by the teams). The fact that the weapons deal the same damage to every boss, makes the routes less oblivious, and thus makes it more challenging.
The second reason, was the extreme enemy density. Except for some segments of some levels, the enemies amount is such that forces you to come up with very clever manouvers in order to travel throught as fast as possible. I also tought that this would have made the TAS more entertaining to watch.
And about the crappyness of the physics and stuff... I really didn't care about this, and I personally still don't feel it like a problem. I see this game is horrible to play, but we're talking about TASing here, so I really don't understand what's the problem here. On the contrary, having a game that works in such an... unconventional way, makes it even more interesting to TAS, because you have to deal with something you're not used to.
And lastly, about the musics: I perfectly understand that it isn't appropriate to use GB/C sound engine for a GBA game, but that shouldn't be a problem for GB/C entusiasts like me. I really like the soundtrack.

It's possible with the mini boss skip that doing level 7 first is slightly faster over all then stage 8 first. It probably would be pretty close, at least worth looking into if a serious attempt to optimize this is being made.
We wouldn't have the buster upgrade and the laser to kill enemies faster or escape the capsules and boss door for 2 stages

Tinypic has always been retarded and it redirects to non existing domain names.
If I click that link I get redirected to http://pt.tinypic.com and clearly that domain name doesn't exist, it should be http://pt-br.tinypic.com
This is clearly another bug with that dumb site.
