CoolHandMike note: Alt Goal should be acceptable now, but it is Unoptimized at this point. Ex: New "Nuclear" glitch kills everything on screen by just walking once setup. |

CoolHandMike changed rejection reason to "Entertainment" as playarounds still require entertainment. If it was rejected for Entertainment then it would almost certainly be rejected for it now. |

| Forum/Posts/508465 | #2614: FatRatKnight's NES The Guardian Legend "Password" in 00:03.31 | 9/9/21 | Y | N | Uses an auto-hold feature of the emulator which effectively inputs that button press on every frame. In my opinion, that makes the actual input longer than what is reported in the submission itself. It also uses an in-game code to create a special setup; not sure if this would be acceptable with a proper input file anyway. Even if it were, I personally think the primary issue with this run lies in the auto-hold not being counted as input; and I suspect that if the entire time that the A button is pressed was counted toward the time, doing other actions besides holding A may yield a faster run. |

Also, the historical/continued value of this goal for the RTA community suggests value in having a publication of this goal on our site as well. |

CoolHandMike note: This submission no go on optimization. Author did not check the damage on the boss. Instead of using the spin attack which does 2 damage he used the normal slash that does 1 damage. So lost around 3-4 seconds per extra hit and he needed 7 extra hits so lost about 21-28 seconds. Stays rejected. |
