Hmm. I'm struggling to come up with a reason why he's continuing forward with the disruption even though he was trying to "help". This might be nosy of me to try to find out why, but it may have to do with a certain condition he might have, judging from his first edits on his homepage... But really, the main thing to note here is that Logan got banned for his disruptive behavior on the Discord server, also resulting in his ban on the site overall. It definitely doesn't matter whether it's on the official forums or in other sites, disruptive behavior is still disruptive behavior. (At least I think that's what it is, right?) I can only hope that Logan eventually recovers, even if it'll be years from now. Myself, I don't like to get dragged in to any arguments, and so if that's the case, I prefer to keep my distance and not continue to participate so that I don't say things that shouldn't be said. And I'm a bit of a shy person, but at least I'm kind-hearted about it, and I'm also doing my best to stay cautious when doing or saying things. Just wanted to put this up for clarification and for my stance on Logan's case; I believe he was wrong for trying to step in and "help", and that it would've been best if he backed out of the conversation.

I'm looking over the submissions that were rejected for trolling reasons, and I noticed that these three submissions were previously rejected because they were submitted using alt accounts (there may be a couple more that I missed). This submission falls under the "unauthorized" category... Perhaps the rejection reason, either for this submission or the other three mentioned earlier, could be updated for the sake of consistency. Just my opinion though.

Some TASer, probably wrote:
Always check your upside down pipes
Definitely a yes vote from me. :) A couple of thoughts though:
  • 2.1: Maybe you can hit the flagpole lower, just to the point that Mario is at 24 horizontal speed when he lands.
  • 7.1: I believe it's possible to perform a FPG along with the screen-wrap; you just need to avoid being all the way to the right when doing so. These two I think could make for improvements in your run, but I could be wrong.
That is all; great efforts otherwise!

IPS patch download here (it's linked on the YT video).
Ooh, a Super Mario Bros. ROM hack! And I'd say you picked a pretty good one at that. I presume you must be new here; welcome! You picked a popular game (or, well... a hack of) to make a tool-assisted speedrun out of. From what I've seen, that must've been everyone's first game in mind when they want to make TASes, haha~ 😊 I'd just like to say that this is a very good effort compared to some of the others that I've seen in recent submissions. Although, I did see some unnecessary slowdowns here and there, but I'd also like to point out that you missed a couple of key techniques that a lot of SMB TASes use nowadays: fast starting accel and flagpole glitch (FPG). You even got fireworks on a couple levels, which slowed you down a bit; these can be easily avoided. The simple running around without doing anything fancy hasn't really impressed me either. I promise that none of this is meant to discourage you from making any further submissions; I'm saying this is great for a first submission here. However, I encourage you to improve on this effort; optimize this to the best of your ability. You don't have to be 100% perfect, just don't make the mistakes obvious. Try new tricks, check the game resources page if you need to, and review your emulator tools before having another go. Again, you picked a good hack to make a TAS out of, and I'd like to see it published. I could even make one myself if I had time and weren't so busy with life, who knows? Just try to optimize all you can in your run, ask questions if you have any (maybe even get in contact with other SMB1 TASers if you can), then submit your run once you've ironed out all the possible mistakes. That said, I'll be voting Meh based on entertainment. Sorry...

Hey! While I don't prefer TASing Sonic the Hedgehog ROM hacks anymore (sorry to say 😞), I managed to find that selbi released a seventh version of his popular hack, Sonic ERaZor, after eight years since the last release. I thought I'd share a few interesting TASes as well... (If that's alright with everyone here) Game skip run by Tuffcracker (Sonic EraZor, sixth release): Link to video Sonic ERaZor 7 (latest release) "Game skip" run (fake ending) by Доминик1: Link to video "Frantic, 100%" run by Tuffcracker: Link to video "Casual, 100%" run by Доминик1: Link to video Maybe the hack could be publication-worthy with these runs? Who knows?

There's a lot of information in this thread to take in... But I'd just like to say that I enjoyed my time here on the site, and I still do. After reading ikuyo's initial post, I guess I'm a bit concerned about its future too. I don't know what exactly to do to help resolve even a little bit of the situation, but at the same time, I don't wanna make it look like I don't care either.
  • I enjoy my time as a player, making SMB TASes as I go. I don't feel like I'd see myself fit as an active staff member, especially now that I'm busy with life as we know it.
  • I don't wanna fill the site with a bunch of Super Mario Bros. Game Genie and ROM hack TASes, even if just one out of the 99+ runs already featured on the site is of decent quality to be featured on the TASVideosChannel. Because then, what would TASVideos be at this point? Another NESVideos branding? SMBVideos even? Maybe that'd be best suited as its own spinoff instead...
  • Yes, there's the occasional argument and mistreatment here and there, and I'm against this kind of hostility overall. It makes me sad :( But... It's in our nature to have creative differences about things around here, so I guess maybe that part I can understand. Just my opinion but I'd rather see a lot less of it on the site these days 😭
I understand the staff here is more than willing to make the necessary changes to actually make TASVideos feel more welcoming and have enough breathing room, and I encourage that. I only wish I knew what the problem(s) actually was regarding this site. Again, this is a lot of information that I'm seeing on the thread, and I'm not sure if I 100% understand all of it. But I think what I can get out of it is...
  • Various YouTubers (me included) have the software and technology to make and upload encodes of their own tool-assisted speedruns, even if they're not of high quality. I guess this would have to be for the sake of being able to see what a particular run looks like.
  • TASVideos has been a bit more lenient on what can and can't be published; I think I can see that being a reason you've been getting more submissions than usual... Or maybe it's because there have been more users making submissions and sending them your way? Maybe. But I get it, you want to give potential TASers the freedom to showcase their work and get it published, especially considering there are those with inadequate technology to make the encodes. But considering the amount of submissions, it's unfortunate that you won't be able to make it through all of them and (for once) have a cleaned-out submission cache.
I don't even think I got everything right; there were probably a few pointers that I'm missing. I'm not sure if this says much either (besides the part about arguments and mistreating the site) or if any of what I said makes sense, but it's just my take on things right now.

Probably best Kirby's Adventure TAS since TASeditor's run :^) I'm curious to see how much of the any% run can be improved. I wouldn't know though, I'm not an expert in that game :c Yes vote

I've known The Impossible Quiz 2 (and the rest of the TIQ series) for quite some time, so I'm surprised there was a TAS of it that came out; pretty neat! (I miss TIQ :c I wish there was more after TIQB Chapter 3 and The Impossible Quizmas.) That said, I believe there are a couple of questionable spots in the game that Mike may have missed (Marked as spoilers just to be safe): "Crime is a shit that needs wiping up" and lol micropenis in Question 56 and Spidermonkey's Greatest Shits in Question 102 (hard to see though, I think) So maybe the movie could have a warning for crude language and... that thing, as well. YouTube's pretty sensitive about what is and isn't allowed on their platform these days... Just my opinion, so make of it what you will. Also looking forward to a 100% (A* = PERFECT!) run eventually.

Hey MQ5PIVER, I'd like to make it clear that according to the others that have commented before me, your movie appears to be playing in a suboptimal manner (meaning not in the fastest methods possible), and that your goal is very unclear. FIRST. Your submitted goal is "die", yet (according to Emil_Borg) you chose to get all Star Coins in World 1-1 (akin to a 100% run), then touch a Goomba in World 1-2.
    If the goal was to actually lose a life as fast as possible, it would very much be possible to simply touch the first Goomba in World 1-1; even faster to just enter the level and stop input from here. If the goal was to get a game over, you'd have to repeat the above actions four more times.
Either way, both goals are arbitrary and cannot deem any potential runs with those goals in mind to be publishable. SECOND. Your run seems to be sloppy and suboptimal according to the comments I've read for this submission. I don't have much knowledge in New Super Mario Bros., but I can tell you that it definitely needs improvements. While in the submission menu it mentions that the emulator used is "2021", I can see that you used BizHawk after downloading the ZIP and extracting it (according to the file that was in the ZIP file). You'll want to spend more time making use of its emulator tools, including savestates, rewinds, frame-by-frame advances, and especially TAStudio. Also, I'd like for you to make a note on these two movies of this game, take a look at them; notice the tricks they use and the optimal movements they make. You could learn a thing or two. And if this game isn't for you, there's plenty more to choose from. Just make sure your run (whatever game it may be of) is optimized to its fullest. THIRD, and this is really a minor thing (just for me anyway). Your submission text is the default dummy text, and I believe that has been left unchanged for many years, if not since the site was first founded. This dummy text is supposed to form a start for what you wanna say about your run, the game, the stages/levels/world, and any potential tricks or glitches you perform. But honestly, just leaving it blank, with dummy text, and/or with little to no information about the run doesn't leave a good impression; viewers can have trouble understanding what your run is about. Myself, I like to read about the run that I'm viewing and, if there is a video of the run available, watch it. Concerning your location (Yes, I took a peek at your profile), I feel that English isn't your first language. You are perfectly fine to express your opinions in whatever language you prefer, but in either case, you'll want to ask questions and get feedback on your future efforts. Right now, however, after all that I've said, I don't think this run has potential, sorry. (Not voting.)

This is a non-optimal TAS of SMB
Sorry dude but hey, you said it yourself. This is non-optimal, and yet you're still submitting it. I don't wanna sound rude or anything (especially knowing this is your first submission), but this isn't the right place to upload your run. I'd also like to add that "RTA Rules" or "No L + R" doesn't make for an interesting enough goal for a Super Mario Bros. run to be published here; if we had something like that (even if it's greatly optimized), then it'd be largely similar to HappyLee's original run. Worse yet, that's the fastest run of the game thus far, with no further improvements found since. Just wanna go ahead and echo what Spikestuff said: The original Super Mario Bros. is undoubtedly a popular choice for first-time TASers, especially those who prefer simpler games to make runs of. But there may be other games that could be worth trying as well... Make sure you're used to the tools and features available in your emulator (savestates, slowdowns, rewinds, and TASStudio) and upload your future efforts to userfiles. And please, ask questions... ask! if you have any at all. Don't just wing it with another submission and it turns out to be so-so... If you have a Discord account, there is a dedicated server where you can do so. I just wanna point out by the way after all this, that this is not meant to discourage or scare you! This is just me giving you advice on your future accomplishments. Believe me, even I have to check and double-check every so often to make sure my runs are in tip-top shape. Go again when you've optimized all you can; I'll refrain from voting for now, though.

Same as what Spikestuff said just now, your run plays through 1-1 to 8-4 the same as HappyLee's "warps" TAS. I'm pretty sure it doesn't offer anything new besides the 1-2 warp and the 8-3 FPG, but even then, I feel like these are subtle differences. You say this hack offers the following:
Lost Levels worlds (there are poison mushrooms, red piranha plants, upside-down red piranha plants, upside-down pipes, wind, a "Luigi Game" instead of a multiplayer mode, with Lost-Levels Luigi physics
Why not go through the rest of the game without warps and showcase those instead? On another note, this run is simply "straightforward", pretty much no entertainment whatsoever. I could vote "No" for that alone, but since you showed that it was possible to get a faster 1-2 warp and a 8-3 FPG, perhaps now I should refrain from voting just to avoid discouraging you.

Another thing I wanted to bring up as well: There is a chance that Guile may not do the Flash Kick when you first enter the room (down or up) after restarting; he may just do a simple jumping kick instead. Flash Kick, for comparison:

Since the main Owata series has been TASed, I think this game could use a little love too: OWATA vs DONKEY KONG Link to video It also features a hard mode with slipperier physics, similar to playing as Luigi in SMB: The Lost Levels (hold Z/Space and Enter), if interested.

(redo) (with HappyLee and w7n) - I'm currently assisting with finding improvements before the boss. On hold; we're currently struggling to confirm that we have the fastest route. Some debugging may also help with finding glitch exits, but neither of us are experts in that field. - Record my older TASes (excluding any obsolete TASes) and upload to YouTube. - Pretty busy at the moment...

Another good effort, Tate. I'd say better than your last attempt (that shows your progression), but not quite perfect yet. (Then again, in my snooping around posts, I've read that TASVideos doesn't require perfect optimization; they just need enough to not make the run seem sloppy.) Again, you placed a Bilibili video in the YouTube encode section, meaning the encode doesn't work properly. (I'm gonna assume that's your main method of uploading videos of your runs. No use in trying to change your mind about that.) As far as the hack goes, I don't have much to say besides what feos pointed out.
  • Only one world ("zone") with three levels ("acts"): Green Hill Zone. And pretty much all of it is unchanged. (The boss's entrance is slightly faster.)
  • The only extra features added are the additional abilities you can perform, as stated in the submission notes. The comments and SSRG (Sonic Stuff Research Group) even speak for themselves.
  • Other than that, the entire hack is a demo and has remained so since 2021. No further progress has been made as far as I know.

It crashes on BizHawk once you try to jump (the main gimmick of the hack).
I have to be honest, I feel like this is an emulator compatibility issue; as far as I know, the creator of the hack, ReZZ, never exactly bothered to test the hack on different emulators. I have to assume that they only used Gens. Now, I'll be honest: I found the run to be pretty boring, no easier way to say it; not to mention that, again, most of the hack is practically unchanged aside from Sonic and Dr. Robotnik. I tried again and again to find at least something that I enjoyed about the run, but I just couldn't. I guess the unbalanced power of the Air Boosts took away a chunk of the entertainment value since it could be abused to oblivion.

Fixed movie done! I was able to save 46 frames over my original run too. I'll hopefully rewrite the submission notes as well when I get a chance... Download here. I would also like to request a change in the rerecord count along with that. Original run's re-record count: 3987 New run's re-record count: 2354 2354 is definitely incorrect... should be 6341.

Perfect! I think what's next is have the hack accepted to RHDN and then re-sync the run on the new patch (unless it syncs as is). Unless you're not too busy, I can see what I can do later this week, if that's alright.

I thought it was fine before.
The game overall is playable, yes. But the issues were about it being impossible without using warps, specifically in World 3 and the Airship levels. Not to offend Acmlm in any way, but I feel like since he focused more on the faster runs (warped runs), he didn't pay attention to the rest of the worlds besides World 1 and World 8 at the time of making the hack (this was almost 15 years ago, so I wouldn't know). I'll go ahead and drop embeds of the videos I've linked in the submission, just to make them more accessible (at least I think that's a benefit): (World 3) Link to video (World 1-Airship) Link to video Also, it's nice to hear that the fix for this game is almost ready. I assume I'm gonna need to check if my run still syncs before it can be accepted...?

Hey! Hopefully, the judging process isn't taking too long. I feel like it's simply because the hack needs to be accepted to ROMHacking.net, like with the last two Superfast Mario Bros. games. Maybe just me being a bit impatient... Other than that, feel free to ask questions if you have any! Also thanks to DJ Incendration for their thoughts.
