I find it extremely boring.
Gameplay is if obscure genre compared to most of our content, and for someone not familiar with the game, it's impossible to understand what's going on.
As a result, I can't see any superplay value in the movie with an untrained eye, so I can't find it impressive and appreciate the effort.
Lastly, total absence of music adds to the obscurity feel that this game has.
No vote.

This is as much as we can do to help this problem.

This means if someone redistributes your work without crediting you, they are breaking the license. Therefore, you should be able to set up a strike against them using whatever service they use to redistribute it. If the service even allows such a thing of course, but I think if it lets them earn money from that, it also supports strikes and taking down videos.
But on our site, there's no way to share your work under a different license. For example, you can't forbid commercial use of the movie that you upload.
But you can make a derived work off of your movie, for example an encode, and share it under a license that forbids commercial use. Archive.org allows such an upload. If someone reuploads that and starts earning money from it, you can set up a strike, as I mentioned above.
Note that when we publish your movie on TASVideosChannel, we don't use Creative Commons licenses, we use youtube license. And that license does not allow taking videos made by other users and reuploading them. So you can set up a strike once again, saying that the movie file is your original work, and the youtube encode is a derived work that is not allowed for reuploading to youtube.
Putting curses into movie description may lead to even more confusion, so you need to be precise in what you say. We seem to need to discuss further which part of your work may be reuploaded and under what conditions.

What is that supposed to mean?

Any wishes that to fix in mame-rr for more comfortable TASing?

Yeah but does it have the same effect as in CaD2?

I mean just look how many tools hawk supports already, and for how many cores they work already. Retroarch would have to be completely redesigned to support all our stuff, it's not just movies and savestates (which they don't really care about).

Would it be any feasible to make a rerecording build of RetroArch?
The reason is that RetroArch supports more cores/systems than BizHawk. Arcade, MSX, NDS, PSP, PC-98, Sharp X68000/etc are among them. It already has its own movie format (.bsv) and it even supports rewind within movies (but not save-states yet). Plus it's free and open-source under GPLv3.
Here's some useful discussion:
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/543
I don't really know anything about their internals or whatever else that's relevant though, so no idea if this would be realistic/possible or not. I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid idea.
Retroarch is not an emulator, it's just a client to all the infinity of cores that exist independently, and some cores developers even hate retroarch/libretro (but because of open source, they can't forbid it)! As far as we're concerned, nothing in retroarch usage has ever depended on absolute determinism of general play, and nothing has ever needed perfectly deterministic savestates in any of libretro cores. This framework is targeting real-time play, including netplay, and it's decent at that, but it's no one's goal to make it any deterministic. Also because of libretro nature, you either torture developers of the cores to make their cores (and savestates) deterministic, or you set up an external waterbox-like environment that snapshots the memory of the entire retrorch application. We're trying to figure out how to use libTAS for that. Bizhawk's waterbox approach is much more narrow, but it's super early in development, and no one knows if it's even theoretically applicable for retroarch.
Tell me one thing. How many tools like Lua, Hex Edtior or RAM Watch does retroarch have?

I think it was related to a bit of misunderstanding, aiqiyou resigned from the authors to apologize to the author of the previous submission. And though it's unfortunate that it had to be rejected, I think no hard feelings remain, so there's really no need to be too hard on oneself. An improvement has been made, and the authors deserve credits. I would agree that forced co-authorship was unnecessary, as I believe we would be able to convince aiqiyou to return :)

Meanwhile I checked the old 8K uploads that failed, and they weren't reencoded by YT.

I made a test movie.
Link to videohttp://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/53447415911972804
It's 275 frames faster in the segment of level 1 until the power-up grab. The mini-boss is for some reason a bit slower though. But this is how such a game should look in a TAS imo.

Looks like you need to rename Other to Tools? Put there articles about rerecording emulators, frameworks, tools, workflows, whatever.
As for multiple fame, I'd prefer having duplicate entries that are cross-linked, "this has also been covered in this article about X" kinda thing.

TASVideos, TASers, and Games are fine as subpage names. Multiple Fame and Others are not descriptive at all, I still don't know what they are about.

This seems to be the active issue about it:
https://bugs.dolphin-emu.org/issues/9915
I guess all you have is keeping nagging them. If it was working on older versions, maybe they provide interim builds so it could be tested when this bug appeared in the codebase.

Doesn't seem silly to me. Those 2 pages look good too. And I don't understand the second question.

You better ask Dolphin developers about what it means and if it can be fixed, we don't have a lot of them hanging around here.
As for the full completion category, we do take it seriously. There's no problem with including more of things to complete if they match our rules linked above, and it doesn't need to match the RTA category, unless it happens to fit the TAS rules nicely.

Since the new version will be not only more complete, but also more optimal now, it would be a good idea to cancel this one and then just submit the proper run separately.

As for making a more complete run, I am definitely interested. I have already begun working on this and hope to complete it soon. Thanks again!
Is it possible to give a rough estimate when it might be finished? Like, will this movie have some time to shine, or you're already almost done? It wouldn't make much sense to publish a movie just to be instantly obsoleted by a more complete version.

Yes.

They are hosted at tasvideos, so it makes sense to break them up like this. If those were just external links, we wouldn't need to keep names subpages. Doesn't seem to harm this way anyway.

Done. Though format the links for Other TASers the same way others are formatted. Also, PangaeaPanga has published movies. Haven't checked the others.

If a item appears if you just wait, and then you can quickly complete the game after getting it, it doesn't looks like getting it is a sensible speedrun goal. As for unlocking, are there no codes of any kind? Can they at least be unlocked for a separate, save anchored movie? If additional levels are unlocked using codes, we allow them in Vault. If it's only possible via save carryover, it has to be Moons.
