"Stars" are a showcase of some of the coolest movies on the site.
Overview
The goal of stars is to showcase a variety of movies such that anyone who has played a video game before can find a Tool Assisted Speedrun/Superplay to love.
Guidelines
The only strict rule when nominating a movie for a star is to not nominate your own movies. Everything else here is not strict, though should be kept in mind to ensure stars retain their meaning.
Stars should be movies that are highly impressive to a casual audience in some way. Examples of this include, but are not limited to, noticeably inhuman precision, technical achievement, and pure entertainment.
Stars should also be varied, as not everyone has the same tastes and preferences. All types of genres, games, franchises, platforms, and TAS branches should be represented. While franchises and individual games can have multiple stars if warranted, having a variety is preferred to keep stars from being dominated by similar-looking (though still equally impressive) movies.
Generally improvements will inherit the Star of their predecessor unless there's significant discussion otherwise.
Random Star Movie
Everyone who has at least once attempted to gather a soul from each of the 120 different enemies in Aria of Sorrow, especially during a speedrun, knows the frustration it incurs after a hundredth failed attempt to get the required drop. That just makes this all-souls TAS, played on hard mode, even more impressive.
This is an improvement of 1:38.85 over the
previous movie, thanks to a more optimized route and new item choices. Please read the
authors' comments for more details.
