Beat the most games as fast as you can using the Tool Assisted Speedrun features within the RGR Plugin. For information on TAS and how to use TAS features with the RGR Plugin, go here:
https://www.vizzed.com/boards/thread.php?id=88264

In order for a game to qualify, it must have at least 1000 plays with a rating of at least 6 OR have at least 100 plays with a rating of at least 8. Also the game must be for a Mednafen emulated system since those are the only systems which currently have TAS features.

Your recording must start within a few seconds of the game starting and the recording must end shortly after you beat the game. You must also take a screenshot of the game before you end the recording as proof that you did the TAS with the RGR Plugin. When you're done with each of your submissions, be sure to post a link to the video and the screenshot to this thread.



Rules and info
-If more than 1 user do videos for the same game, the submission with the quickest game completion will be the one that counts. In case of a tie, the video which was submitted first gets the credit.

-The average length of all your submitted videos must be at least 30 minutes. This is to prevent someone from doing a ton of submissions for really short games. So for example, if you submitted a 15 minute speed run and then a 45 minute speed run, your average would be 30 minutes which means you'd be fine. However, if for example you submitted a 5 minute run, a 10 minute run and a 15 minute run, your average would be 10 minutes and you wouldn't qualify (but you could simply submit some longer videos to bring up your average).

-When providing a screenshot with your submission, be sure you take the screenshot with the RGR Plugin (by pressing F6) and then submit the screenshot to the game's page and provide a direct URL to the screenshot from your post (do not download the picture and then upload it somewhere).

-You cannot cheats or use glitches of any sort. As for warping, you can only use warps that were intended to be used as part of the game's experience.

-Do not use Freemake Video Converter on Sega Genesis game videos otherwise the video will become distorted and will not count.

-Your videos must be uploaded to the Vizzed YouTube account (you can do this from the game's page).

-You can record your videos with the RGR Plugin or with an external recording device.

-You cannot die in the video (that'd defeat the purpose if it being a TAS).

-Each submission needs to be 1 video, it cannot be broken into parts.

-You can not edit your video in any way, it needs to be raw footage.

-Only videos submitted after 7/1/2015 count.

Cash Prizes
The cash Prizes can be paid out in a few ways. I can purchase a membership on a website for you somewhere, I can order something for you off of amazon, I can send you the money via Paypal, I can buy you Microsoft Points, Nintendo Points or Playstation Points and send you the code, I can buy you an Amazon gift card and send you the code, etc.



Tips
-Try to beat the game as fast as you can to prevent others from voiding your submission.
-It is recommended that you use the RGR Plugin when recording since it outputs the video at the highest possible quality and it wont render any slow down, skipping, lagging, etc.
-If your video ends up being very large and too large for you to upload, use video compression software to compress it. I recommend Freemake Video Converter.



FAQ
Q = How do I upload videos?

Competition Begins Now

Even though I'm not sure whether or not I'll be able to participate due to time constraints, I felt like I should leave this out here.

Seeing as this is TAS as opposed to a traditional speedrun competition, an average of 1 hour sounds kinda absurd. Platformers and side-scrollers in general tend to be the most popular when it comes to speedruns, but the vast majority of them are gonna be cleared in way less than an hour. Heck even games from other genres such as racing or sports games are hurt because of this, the only exception are RPG titles.

Basically putting a 1 hour average length requirement will probably turn people away from lots of popular games as well as most games from older consoles in general. With things being that way, it's safe to assume participation will be reduced as a consequence.

The time average also discourages the idea of a Speedruns. If I did really good, my time average would be too low. Especially if I plan on play tons of games with low playtime. Its almost like your being punished for getting a good time on a game.

mvhupsel : I guess I hadn't considered that. Good point. I'll adjust that rule to 30 minutes. I just wanted to come up with a rule that would prevent someone from speed running a ton of really really short games. I'd like for this to provide a variety of games and not just a bunch of really short games.

Shuio : Refer to what I said to mvhupsel.

Can't use glitches in a TAS? Man, you're out of the loop with speedrunning, brochacho.

Definitely going for this.

So for each submission, I will-
- Show the time of the actual video as a whole (since videos must average 30 minutes)
- Show how long it actually took me to complete the game (the start of of the video to the point where I make the final hit to the last enemy/level/etc)
I am making the distinction because in my videos, I go ahead and keep rolling through the final scenes of the game's ending. The actual game completion time is what should be looked at in terms of comparing it to the time of someone else who submits the same games as me to see who got it faster.

In the games u can choose the difficult, you can select the Easy mode?

Its the first time I try to do a speed run xD

Those first 9 seconds are me trying to start the emulated movie after I finished recording, so wait a little while, and then the actual speedrun will start.

crush_overider : Yeap that's fine.

Juliaisme123 : I hope you took a screenshot, otherwise the submission wont count.

rcarter2 : Awesome submissions already. Do you have screenshots to go along with your first 2 submission?

Davideo7 : Oh, I did, lemme edit it and I'll link it.

Davideo7 : Right now, I do not. I didn't see that part of the rules. I noticed it late yesterday. I will just play through the games real quick and snap a screenshot and submit it later. Luckily, the ones I don't have shots for are my shortest ones so far.

rcarter2 : You're on a roll, dude!

If I find time over the next few weeks, I would definitely like to participate in this competition. It'd be a lot of fun to do make these videos and they're also a lot of fun to watch.

Davideo7 : You should join in. It will be a lot more interesting with more than just 2 other people participating.

rcarter2 : 3 actually I've been working on speedrunning Super Puzzle Fighter II on GBA.

Juliaisme123 : I was counting you. I said it would be nice to have more than 2 other people

rcarter2 : Ah, I read it wrong My bad.

I would really like to throw my hat in the competition this month as this is my type of competition. Sadly my month has been busy with a death in the family so It's not looking good.

Maybe if things start calming down by next week I might still have time to compete for a final spot.
