I wrote this twice on IRC and didn't bother writing about it in the forums. A suggestion I have is to keep both Red and Blue as they're different enough through each colorblindness and replace Green with White. Since Green and Red blend with each other it was pretty much down to Tritanopia and seeing what that affects which is making Green, Aqua. So in a sense. Just replacing Green with a colorblind friendly color like White would be a bit more suitable on the eyes. This suggestion also works better compared to any other as it's just modifying the script to change Green to White instead of creating/grabbing something else and fixing that up.

Light Spike. 1476 frames of blank input removed. "trollburner_demo.nes" So this isn't the final game. Edit: Forgot that I didn't place my vote or thoughts. This is suboptimal in a good amount of places even when it's a TAS that's under 2 minutes. My vote on Entertainment is Meh, but more can be shaved off from the TAS.

Maybe the submission warning should be more clear? A lot of newbies tend to submit sub-optimal movies.
And I quote. (including bold)
Please read the Submission Instructions before submitting a movie. In particular, please ensure that your movie is complete (not a work in progress), and that it beats all known records if going for speed. Works in progress may be posted in the WIP thread or other places. If you are simply looking for a place to store your movie files for distribution to other members, please consider user files. Ignoring these instructions may result in your submission being rejected.
Also down below when you first have to preview the comments then be able to save (submit) To quote (and again in bold, because that's how it addresses it.)
Before pressing the Save button, please verify that you have read the Movie Rules and Guidelines. Your movie must be complete and must beat all existing records where applicable. Submissions that do not follow these rules will be rejected. This submission form is only for movies that are intended to become a publication on this site. Do not submit if this is not your goal. If you simply want to upload a movie file, use userfiles instead.
Not our fault people can't read. IMO. I think after every fullstop should be another line break in order to flow a bit better... and take up more space. Then again, that's how I actually type on this site so a bit bias. Unless you know... YOU WANT SOME LARGER TEXT ON TOP OF THAT BOLD? THAT'S IN RED (That's size 18^, Forums is 12, Front site/submitting is 14.)

There's about 155 frames of blank input at the end that should've been trimmed off that wasn't (according to just input). Sonic. Much like Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Mega Man, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro is a game that is very high in terms of tech. 794 Rerecords for a 30 minute Sonic movie is questionable. You're slower than every single speedrun category in this hack. Branch Explanation for everyone else. It shouldn't be a Branch. "Team Megamix" is the crew behind the hack.

Reading the setup Thank you for the more extended version of an explanation that gifvex's Blue didn't write. ...Also this means we're going to have a few GB/C Pokemon TASes coming out within this week aren't we? I'm going to have a fun time publishing all this Pokemon! (Will vote after watching this.)

A Console Verified encode ey? And this would be the third GBC-GBA TAS. Only that the prior two actually used the "enhanced" to unlock a hidden character whereas this uses it for simpler verification. Still don't like the "cause RTA community" excuse being the reason it was used, you did expand on it with an actual explanation so whatever. He's my Yes. Here's my claim for Pubs for when it gets accepted. (cause it's Pokemon)

Well like zeromus wrote it doesn't. If you want pseudo like. (Make sure you're running a PS1 game first) PSX > Options > Mednafen Mode (4:3 AR) > Horizontal Overscan Clipping: Clip to Framebuffer Config > Display > User Prescale: 1x > Hq2x (Yup) Final Filter: None or Bilinear Then just use the internal View > Window Size for what you want. Alternatively go grab libretro/RetroArch and use their Mednafen/Beetle PSX HW core (or the Mednafen/Beetle PSX – PGXP core) if you want mednafen to have upscaling.

Doesn't put his hand up in being shocked an improvement came through. You know. When you're mainly the soul Publisher to a single game you can notice something. For instance. Everytime I deal with Super Metroid, and I place the TAS information from Zebes I have to push the subs to appear later to one of the previous movies that's there as a template. I reckon-- unless it did get patched up, that pre-Zebes is hiding a minor improvement. Here's the Yes. Here's the shotgun for Publication.

ViGadeomes what Kasha asked was if they should've just gone with a submission replacement instead of a new submission. Honestly that's up to you Kasha it just means you have to wait longer cause you cancelled and created a new submission. (Then again, no Judge is Judging anything atm) Considering what happened between this new submission and the older one I say you did the right choice on creating a new submission judging from the changes. I'm going to vote Meh for the Entertainment.

As stated by natt, these are following very random set of tests. When accounting for the full list like Mesen. BizHawk is within the 90% range with those tests (last updated 18th June 2017). (Also puNES is around 80% since you did show it off in your little video there.) Also 2 things. What version of Hawk? Did you check QuickNES core? (Or are you accidentally using QuickNES.)

So... You're using an outdated version of Hawk unlike what the current publication did. The way you used player 2 is exactly the same as what the current publication did (in which player 2 just completed it in the lowest amount of input frames). So between you and the current publication is that you bring nothing new besides the exact same TAS time or IGT time. The difference is the current publication actually documented a lot of stuff about the game in the submission whereas you didn't. Abstained vote on a TAS that brings nothing new to the table. (Also by the seems of things, it looks liked you spliced input to an outdated version of Hawk. Good Job.)

Tries to figure out his life choices. Really good work and improvements within Migu. To a year of suffering by doing nothing but DS Publications to me! Here's the Yes Vote. Here's my claiming for Publication. Here's my grave. On the bright side it's half the length of the original TAS.

I actually find this less entertaining than max coins, as max coins felt like a definitive goal of getting the highest coin count possible. Which is why it kept me entertained. I'm going to give this one a Meh as there's nothing of interest to me... Maybe if you merged both "max coins" and "all items" to create "maximum score" then I'd probably be interested in a category like this again. Nevermind, I forgot 99% of it is just grinding a Koopa. I'll shotgun for publication on the chance it does get accepted. Just don't feel this one. Sorry.

There was a post about that one that stated that the stick should've been longer because it's too close to the user. The response is they are currently unable to do longer as it becomes much more unstable. (To which someone responded with a chicken will help.) There's probably actual support structures to do what they want, but the plan of just a single stick won't go far.

Only question I have is why do you have to get in and out of the car before you can drive away?
Google EZGames, you've been told to use it multiple times for stupid questions. This is intentional by the game. The game kicks you out of the car twice because you're thinking about the others in the building and then second guessing herself followed by basically smashing through the barn doors.

Yeah. I'm going to ignore what you wrote about me not responding to this, cause you have facts that are wrong about me. So I'm going to defend myself and point out things on how I can write it in other ways. After all you're going to end up reading this anyways. Then get every point I wrote here wrong.
zoboner wrote:
"LAZY" I would to know your definition of this word and know
No, no, no. I wrote "lazy excuse" not "lazy" on its own. The other choices I could've written were "bullshit excuse" or "an inexcusable excuse". But I didn't. Reread that entire sentence to understand the echoing point I made of others.
zoboner wrote:
if you believe that I'm your friend for use that!?
I think this is the only time you've responded in a massive rage blast that went nowhere. So when are we ever friends?
zoboner wrote:
I think, that I have always work seriously and without laziness. If I'm a lazy boy, so why i doing so much searches and lose my time to explain. It's true I should maybe summary this in 3 lines, like it, you will have less work for editing!
Again, not talking about your work. I'm talking about your "lazy excuse". Cool, you made a TAS on a game, can you justify an actual excuse for using PAL? According to this entire rant. No. You need both words in there, otherwise you're reading it incorrectly like you did through this entire rant.
zoboner wrote:
Especially as it no rules to forbidden that submission style.
Now this one is about gifs. I'm echoing the points fsvgm777 & Warepire wrote about how you dealt with it, and I told you, you should look into compressing your gifs better. Ontop of that I told you not to use gifs on basic movement of a game.
zoboner wrote:
You don't respect my work, when you doing this!
You don't respect people's internet or people's ability to take 5 years to load up 82 gifs. So... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You are an disrespectful man and I say this in a general case, because it's very easy to belittle other people with your knowledges because you believe be the best.

Ah yes, I'm the disrespectful man who keys into and tries to actually assist newbies on the side to TASVideos on how to work it out. Ah yes, I'm a very arrogant man for echoing 2 points and amplifying them for you to make sense... in which you didn't.
zoboner wrote:
but you have prefer to show who is Spikestuff. Like it's your habit, I should surely forgot that...
Yes. I'm a user who helps, spikes and criticizes depending on the user and that's dependent on how long they've been apart of TASVideos and how long they've been TASing for.
zoboner wrote:
90% of your commentaries are disrespectful, harmful and free...
Looks at the "90%" of my posts on the forums of the past year >Majority is resonding to Evan0512 Yeah, no. My reasoning's justified. If you want a more accurate number, that I'll deliberately spike against myself I'd say about 35%.

And again, you're ranting without reading into reason. I'll echo the points.

Got that down? I don't care how many gifs you provide, as long as they're within reason, cause again. All the gifs you provide is just movement which is easier to explain. We don't need a gifs on how to move/jump.
zoboner wrote:
I don't making of TASing for to hear that I'm lazy and to be judging by you, who are not a judge!
Oh you're going to attempt to use my favourite point against me? Yes, I'm not a Judge. I'm a Staff member and I'm a TASer with time put in as well. I didn't do any "judgement" other than requesting for justification on using the PAL version of the game which you responded by a rant. If I was judge, I would write how Evan0512 writes.
Evan0512 wrote:
I will judge and reject the movie.
Is that what you wanted? Cause that's incorrect judgement. Fun Fact: Judging has been thrown around my head, and I've stated that if I ever judge anything it'd be something I'd reject. That's kinda more of the reason why I don't want to judge.
zoboner wrote:
I will make always TASing, but not on TASvideos where you have an amazing privilege, so don't answer at this thread, because I go directly to do request for close my account.
Not my fault that I'm echoing points that you didn't give a proper response to other than: "There's nothing bad about uploading ~107.9MB of embedded gifs without compressing that is just about movement." "The reason why I chose PAL is cause it has better music and has no movement gain over NTSC-U/J infact it's actually slower and I'm giving off a bullshit excuse." There, this time I used "bullshit" instead of "lazy". Are you glad I did even when it went the same way in terms of meanings?

FINALLY YOU DONE DID THE WONDERSWAN VERSION. MY ENJOYMENT OF PUBLISHING NOTHING BUT CLOCKS RETURNS. I'll assume you're providing the temp encode like you've done in the past. (Edit: So you will be. That's fine still. People can wait a day for you CLOCKS) Blames ruadath for not providing after stating he would. Link to video Anyways, there's WonderClock. Edit 2: Forgot to write this. So... sorry. In the WonderSwan version you can run past Scissorman at his introduction. There's a file somewhere on the site that has this. Issue is I don't know where it is as I wasn't the uploader. ...And I can't find it... Welp... Because it's most likely somewhere on microstorage instead of onsite.
