If it syncs on any build at all (with source code available), and if it's well done, it won't be rejected. A lot has happened recently with our rules: https://tasvideos.org/MovieRules/History
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.

Surprisingly, it seems faster to remain oob after collecting the Magma Pool Power Bomb. It's only 2.6s saved in this comparison, but compared to my 2016 TAS, this is an 8 second improvement. That lands me approximately 1 minute and 20 seconds ahead at this point, just within the first 4 minutes of the run. Link to video
