Submission Text Full Submission Page
TAS (Tool Assisted Speedrun/Superplay): This run was made on an emulator, with slow speeds, frame-by-frame shooting, and re-recordings. It is not meant to show skill, but rather the game pushed to its limits, because it is purely a form of entertainment. Go to tasvideos.org for more information!
For the people who thinks this is taken off of someone or cheated its not.
FractalFusion: Judging.
FractalFusion: This movie does not give the impression of a TAS. It looks more like a casual play without death. The movie also breaks rules, such as the no-SRAM rule (this movie uses SRAM), and whoever wrote the submission text did not write it seriously.
Rejecting the run.

Cancellation is not covered by the three day rule. It's covered by copyright laws, the right for an author to not have his work published when he doesn't want to.

But shouldn't it be the author who cancels the submission in that case? Edit: Reading the judging guidelines, if I understand correctly, the three-day rule seems to actually be imposed by the server. Is the cancellation option being abused by judges to circumvent this rule? Shouldn't only the author himself be able to cancel his own submission?

The three-day rule is hard-coded into the server (I wrote the implementation of it). With respect to cancellation, if an author doesn't want the run to be cancelled, s/he can simply uncancel the run; as it doesn't take a judge (or higher) to do so, cancelling a run is inherently less permanent than rejection. I view it as akin to saying, "this does not look like a run which was meant to be submitted here; if you disagree, you may uncancel the run".
