Hello! SMW Community has organized a TAS competition, and you are invited to participate as well! It's not very well organized
yet, but it's the best we could do :). It's really close to DTC, which, I know, may turn away some of you. But keep in mind this competition was thought for SMW community, and we are trying to make it happen for months. I asked to the deadline to be in 01/20th so that it doesn't overlap with DTC.
EDIT: It will be actually 01/31.
The first task we thought of (and it was published just a few minutes ago on Discord, so nobody has an 'advantage' on it) is the following:
Enter Vanilla Dome 3 with small Mario, empty item box, and without Yoshi. Kill every enemy in the main room, and beat the level. You will have to kill the blarggs too! The only way to do it is with a cape slide. It's not allowed to get Yoshi from the block that exists in the level. You can kill the enemies with any method you want. To be sure it died, just check if it can't spawn anymore.
The movie must start when entering VD3, and end aiming for shortest input time. You can submit it until 01/20 23:59 GMT. Post your movie files here in this thread, or in the Discord server made for this competition:

Emulators allowed: lsnes, Bizhawk and Snes9x 1.5.
Again, I apologize if you think that this isn't organized very well, it's the first challenge we made. In the futures ones, the date it starts will be announced sooner, and there will be a better submission method. I encourage you to participate, and have fun!
