i entered a contest for tool-assisted speedruns in majora's mask! (tool-assisted meaning that you play the game frame-by-frame, looking at the game's memory values and doing (you hope) the best possible inputs on every frame)
because it's me my entry was extremely meets-the-letter-of-the-rules-but-not-the-spirit and got disqualified (you have to do a task in the game? why not simply use glitches to set the memory values of the game to show that the task has already been done? why not??), but they gave it a nice detailed explanation :) also the top three entries are wildly impressive. especially because the 3rd place person started playing majora's mask only one month ago. damn
(also i'm embarrassed that i skipped 1/3rd of the whole dang task and didn't make top 3. yes i knew about the a-slide-into-weirdshot but tasing takes fucking forever)
