Unlike 2021, this year we don't have that much of a competition here due to a big dispersion of published movies in favour of the 1st place, even if it would have been built of shovelware games.
ShesHardcore is demonstrating a productivity level of a teenager who spends months TASing. Results are respected, even though they're mostly focused on NES!
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.

Actually it's not as big of a gap. With the help of our API and some python scripting, here is the data for total time of published movies by every author with 10+ movies.

I know that this is not a perfect factor to judge (longer movies have cutscenes bloating the time etc.), but so isn't the total number of published movies.
That said what we can agree upon is that all these people here had a fantastic year of TASing and I would like to nominate all of them.

actually, i have several nominations:
- ShesChardcore for the insane variety. she even broke Walker Boh’s historic single year publication record from all the way back in 2004!
- aiqiyou for the awesome nes projects and trying out a few other consoles, also for collaborating with DreamYao & J.Y to make my favourite nes tas of all time (darkwing duck in 10:43).
- Darkman425 for the variety and for great optimisation.
- eien86 for somehow making his own routing bot and using it to find (positively) ridiculous improvements to seemingly optimised nes games. very intelligent guy.
