Jackel is a classical NES game. The player should control a armed jeep to destroy a dangerous weapon, a huge tank.
It is my first TAS video, so it may be very terrible.But there isn't any TAS of Jackal that the player try not to kill the enemies except BOSS and enemy who is in the way. I want someone to exceed my TAS(and it is so easy...).

If it is "so easy" for someone to beat your movie, that implies that it's not optimal, which does not bode well for its' acceptance. We are not a repository of any kind of tool-assisted movies; we aim to host the best of the best, both in speed and in entertainment.

I'm excited to see an encode for this. I think this game is a great candidate for a pacifist run.

Drop "minimalist" from the branch. Keep "pacifist" in it, that's what it is, you're allowed to kill Bosses in "pacifist" TASes. I think it would be worth to compare this to the normal TAS as the only difference is dodging and we can focus on the movements and fighting of each Boss.

This doesn't actually look that bad. Sure, it's probably improvable but the author has clearly thought things out a bit. If only he put a little more work into the submission text. He should also use a more recent emulator. With fm2 conversion it does sync on FCEUX 2.2.2. The label should simply be "pacifist". The pacifism is pretty thorough and not even projectiles are destroyed. Only a few soldiers get squished and they all look necessary. "minimalist" is probably referring to the fact that the weapon isn't powered up. But that would require destroying some buildings so it is sufficient to just say pacifist. The real question is whether a pacifist run on this game is that interesting. It is kinda neat that it is possible but in a lot of places it becomes very tedious. I vote meh for that reason.
