Vote for the TASes with the fastest running or fastest zipping characters that you have ever witnessed.

[16:36:31] <Mothrayas> I have to say this argument about robot drug usage is a lot more fun than whatever else we have been doing in the past two+ hours
[16:08:10] <BenLubar> a TAS is just the limit of a segmented speedrun as the segment length approaches zero

Some good choices here this year. My top picks are: [3497] PSX Crash Bandicoot: Warped "item glitch, gate clip" by pirohiko in 05:40.77, ridiculous zipping around the screen everywhere. [3588] DS Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin "all bosses" by mtbRc in 24:09.89, with high speed divekicking action while tearing through bosses as if they aren't even there.

Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.

I'm disappointed by the list I'm seeing here this year. The rule is: "Vote for the TASes with the fastest running or fastest zipping characters that you have ever witnessed. Note that "speedy" here refers to a character's movement speed, not just to a game being beaten in a short amount of time." Some of these runs do not feature any quick character movement / zipping at all. It's kind of late in the process now to weed out the options, but we are still not going to give an award to a run it was not eligible for. If there's a single winner which is not eligible, we are going to be resetting this poll with the ineligible options removed. If multiple win, we will only give the award to those that are eligible. If you want, you can explain why you think certain runs are eligible, and the staff will take it under consideration.
