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:

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 you do a game that was done in any of the previous 2 TAS speedrun competitions, then your run must be faster to count.

-If more than 1 user do videos for the same game, the submission with the quickest game completion will be the one that counts (this also includes submissions from last year so you'll want to check this thread as well). 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 15 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 8/1/2017 count.

-You can do games that are exclusive to http://play.rom.online/

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?
A = Scroll about half way down the page where you see the video area and then click the 'Click to Upload your Video to Vizzed YouTube'. Here's a screenshot of it:




Competition Begins Now

I like the idea of a TAS competition, there are some TAS rivalries I've seen on YouTube and it's cool to watch all the optimizations be added. I'd definitely watch some of the TASes that are uploaded.

I saw this thread and realized the TAS feature has been around for a long time but I haven't used it. If I become good enough at TAS'ing I might compete, but I just learned how to use it today so I'll need some time.

The no cheats and glitches rule was an excellent idea to keep things fair. If I submitted a Super Mario Bros. TAS, I'd have to redo it because while I didn't use walljumps or other crazy/hard glitches, I used a ceiling glitch in 1-2 and a pipe glitch in world 8-4.

Everybody have fun competing! If I compete it very likely won't be a complete domination like the Tour de Vizzed XD

I remember when this feature was first added but I never got a chance to try it out until now. Below are some of my submissions for NES games ( and 1 SNES game ). I would have loved to try out some PS games with this feature but unfortunately there appears to be a problem with the 'rewind' feature. It keeps giving me an error seconds after I activate it. I'm not sure if it's a problem on my end or if the games are just too advanced for this feature. Guess I'll just stick with the NES for now and I may play some other games later on. Here's what I've done so far:
