Personally I think this year the field is fairly weak for SNES TASer of 2019 so any choice is about as valid as any other. It's all a matter of opinion after all.

What have Doomsday31415 and EZGames69 done wrong again?
Warning: When making decisions, I try to collect as much data as possible before actually deciding. I try to abstract away and see the principles behind real world events and people's opinions. I try to generalize them and turn into something clear and reusable. I hate depending on unpredictable and having to make lottery guesses. Any problem can be solved by systems thinking and acting.
I think Aran;Jaegar's point is that while it may appear on the surface that Doomsday worked on the TAS alone, his work was largely built off of others, in contrast to some other nominees to this thread. I don't see what it has to do with Doomsday's post at all, but I believe that's what Aran is trying to say.

To clear up any confusion, DES had almost no direct input in the TAS that was submitted. The reason they were initially included as a co-author was because the TAS they made that significantly improved on Dooty's TAS was never submitted to TASVideos.
The fact that a lot of strategies and movement was based on their "unpublished" TAS as opposed to Dooty's published TAS does not change the amount of effort I put in to further optimizing it (their TAS had hundreds of thousands of rerecords not seen in the published TAS).

Congratulations Doomsday31415! It was a good race. :)
I recently discovered that if you haven't reached a level of frustration with TASing any game, then you haven't done your due diligence.

SOYZA: Are you playing a game?
NYMX: I'm not playing a game, I'm TASing.
SOYZA: Oh...so its not a game...Its for real?
