So, I had this idea for a TAS, which is Ristar with as few jumps as possible, I tried doing that over a year ago (although it wasn't looking for optimization) and it made a pretty fun video But, I'm wondering if a goal like that is a bit too arbitrary for this site. If I made an optimized TAS with that goal in mind, would it be accepted?

We have a whole movie tag for that, and even a "minimum jumps" SMB TAS. As long as the movie is well done and the result is entertaining, it should be fine for the Alternative class.
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.
