If this gets accepted, I don't think it should obsolete the current TAS due to reasons stated here.
I know its the same author for this particular TAS, but this can potentially be applied to other games as well.
I did not maybe follow the discussion but you cannot skip Koops in the Japanese version?
Skipping koops can't be done due to a key skip that requires Flurry behaves differently in (J) compared to (U). At the same time, this change allows early ultra hammer to be done, which skips Ms. Mowz, so the (J) is used instead.
If you abandon tiers, at least somehow come up with a system that also let's bad games get published, since it was the main purpose of such.
We don't need a "system" that "lets bad games get published". The best thing Vault did was provide an excuse to accept runs we should have always accepted. Otherwise, all it does is tell people "Hey, these are boring runs, don't watch them!" We can keep the exact same judging criteria even if we drop the Vault, nothing would have to change since we already have the rules in place.
That can work, but not sure how problems for playarounds like what feos linked could be solved. I think this should be discussed in a different thread though along with a poll.
From what I saw on IRC, the judges do not work together in judging.
How the hell is Riddick Bowe Boxing a moon tier? Perhaps we should abandon tiers since I don't see it working well. I guess my signature is relevant.
I still think that the submission voting and the published movie voting need to be redone. I still don't know how I am supposed to rate published movies with that wide point range scale, and I have no clue how I am supposed to know how to rate the technical.

Also, for the ratings, you can leave either one of them blank. :P
I don't know if this really fits in the discussion, but there's something flying around about, "Improving a vault into the moon." Forgive me if this isn't really applicable.
I made this run nine years ago, before the tiers came out. When tiers were implemented, it was automatically assigned Vault, according to its user ratings.
Just this last week, someone improved one level in it by six seconds, and left almost all the rest untouched. Look what tier it's in.
Changing times/trends/tastes? Different judge? I wouldn't immediately say that this is some injustice since what is deemed "bad" may not be such years later and vice versa.
That was a lot more entertaining than I thought it would be; glad that not knowing the dialogue doesn't make it less fun. :D
While watching, sometimes the partner does this odd slower jump (the jump when you leave ms. mowz room being an example). What was that?
Are people finding this entertaining on its own, or mostly because its such a large improvement to the previous movie, which was quite a dull?
Edit: I'm mostly the latter.
Since you're using (J), and Flurry superslides work slightly differently, is there any use for that Bobery door glitch, or is that too late into the game?
Well, sound tends to be butchered during frame advance, so chances are, you would be forced to use trail and error to find the right frames to press regardless.
Hey, I'm not sure if this can be used, but given how you managed to make a 1 buffer skip, I recall this vid
Link to video
He seemed to have managed to get past the loading zone without a buffer. Is that exclusive to that room?
1. Does this happen in the latest revision?
2. How hex-friendly is this game? I know loading times between places would be different, but if there's not too much randomness, maybe you could try splicing the input to a revision that doesn't have this glitch.
1. How many things are able to (re)activate chapter 6?
2. Rather than just reactivate chapter 6, how about one of them activate chapter 5, and the other skip use chapter 6?
1. Wait are they honestly going to use Mupen solely because other TAS'es do that despite the risk of desync? Why?
2. Even if it was true why would that be a valid reason to use a desync prone emulator?
