Yes, we are also making the pacifist TAS and it's finished almost at the same time. It's a 383 frames' improvement from soig's TAS. Mainly by using new routes in level3 and level5. Here's the new improvement of this TAS, 88frames faster. userfiles/info/53171377782258721 Thanks to mtvf1 giving the idea to save time in level 5.

Level by level comments:

Level 1
Fewer jumps and 1 frame faster boss fight, 4 frames saved.
Level 2
Reduce 1 frame lag in the fourth room, faster boss fight, 28 frames saved.
Level 3
Use the same way as any% run, reduce 2 frames' lag during boss fight, 123 frames saved.
Level 4
Faster boss fight, 13 frames saved.
Level 5
Control 2P's score to 19900 and let him die at the first of the stage, and when 1p dies at the second tank the second time, 2P use 1P's last life get through the tank and 1P keep game over until boss fight, 2p get 1up before boss fight and 1p use this life help 2p fight the boss, 165 frames saved.
Level 6
Faster boss fight, better global timer, 14 frames saved.
Level 7
Faster boss fight, 5 frames saved.
Level 8
Change route a little and faster boss fight, 31 frames saved.

Masterjun: Judging.
ThunderAxe31: File replaced with a 88 frames improvement.
Masterjun: Accepting to Moons as an improvement to the previous run.
Red Falcon: We doesn't like pacifism. We will however publish this.

I don't see why a person has to be essentially forced to be a co-author if they don't want to be one. Whether they explained their reasoning or not, it's not anyone else call except the person in question, right?
Current projects: failing at life
Post subject: Probably this.

I think it was related to a bit of misunderstanding, aiqiyou resigned from the authors to apologize to the author of the previous submission. And though it's unfortunate that it had to be rejected, I think no hard feelings remain, so there's really no need to be too hard on oneself. An improvement has been made, and the authors deserve credits. I would agree that forced co-authorship was unnecessary, as I believe we would be able to convince aiqiyou to return :)
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.
