I noticed that the actual publication lists the movie as having speed/entertainment tradeoffs. Is this referring to the use of SRAM period? Using fire boomerangs is no longer slower than wolfrising, so I'm curious.
Yes, categories were inherited. Any other fixes?

Looking at the votes I can't expect it to become a moon. Most likely the one without tradeoffs and with optimal character will be happily vaulted (if done well).

There's no cut-off. Other than what is imposed by common sense (a year?)

So this is the "no programming oversight/hack" principle to its pedantic maximum. Because from reading the code one would be able to tell if something is intended or not. And even if developers deliberately allowed some hack, it still can be proven to be a hack, due to false assumptions it relies on. Sounds like a goal choice free of arbitrariness to me. I'd wish to see that TAS!
The only thing that doesn't look perfect to me is ladders. It must be logical when Capcom programs ladders/ropes with bigger hitboxes that their sprites, which is what allows you to grab the ladder/rope with less casualties. You know, it's extremely annoying when you need to make nearly pixel perfect jumps just to get some intended physics to work. So I'd call ladder teleporting itself neither an oversight, nor a hack. However that screen-wrapping-ladder-thingy is definitely a glitch.
Note: if it's not the hitbox that lasts for 24 pixels around the ladder, but only some magic point that disappears when you're closer to ladders, then yes, it's a bug.

Right here it looks not like a superplay, but just as some bug demonstration, especially when the game is so crappy that bug can easily be replicated in real time (no need for tools to pull it off).

The run caitsith2 posted syncs on my version (and looks largely improvable). Also, nEilfox, if you want to make a TAS, post work-in-progress movies. I want to help with RNG.

Joy Mecha Fight was not present in the place I mentioned at all. Yie Ar Kung-Fu isn't serious. All here played either SF clones, or MK clones, or turtles.

doesn't run in FCEUX 2.2.x, while it does in FCEUX 2.1.x, BizHawk and Nestopia.

I would arguably call this "game" notable for how popular it was (along with MK "ports") where no official NES fighting game was known, except for TMNT TF. But as a TAS it looks just terrible. I don't know if any SF bootleg would be even vaultable, but this game sucks badly.

Notable, but unwatchable and absurd. Equal to Desert Bus. In some terms better, in some terms worse than that.

Thankfully, the majority of games initialize their RAM before reading it, and for these games it's actually irrelevant what the initial RAM state of the emulator is.

I don't think the author realizes these runs are not up to TASVideos standards.

Added last fix to the script:
In some places there are enemies appearing in bunches, and you need to kill them almost at once to get an item drop. Helicopters in 1-2, clowns in 1-1. But what they drop is hardcoded. In 1-1 they drop life, in 1-2 they drop: charge, hp, ammo, hp, ammo, life, hp, ammo, and charge. When they come in 1 by 1 and still are marked to carry something, it's random. When they come by 3 or so, I didn't test, because I'm officially sick of this game :D
Once you come to something that doesn't co-operate, let me know, maybe I'll find out why.

I agree that breaking the execution pointer is memory corruption if done deliberately and efficiently. If it's only done by random glitching (slightly bugging the objects, like giving a stick to battletoads in level 4), it's a glitch abuse. When it screws the main game execution in heavy ways, I'd call it memory corruption.

Sounds like you need a 1 frame delay from real memory state. Try this:
Language: lua
while (true) do
-- your gui.line and stuff here
FCEU.frameadvance()
end
Without registering anything.
