i have some comments and questions

2006-07-26 08:15:55 pm

im new but ive visited here every day.

i'm kind of a speed runner too.
here are my records

any %: 0:57
100 %: 1:23 (but im working one right now)
1%: 1:00

ive decided to do any% most often because im really bad at "not" getting damaged, and im also not good at the tank collecting (especially the space booster trick)
i made a chart comparing me and the record.

Me Record
Beginning 0:00 0:00
Beginning
of Sect. 2 0:07 0:07
Before
Serris 0:14 0:12
Before
Mega-x 0:22 0:19
Before
Yakuza 0:35 0:31
After
Nightmare 0:45? 0:39
Before end 0:54 0:47

Could you give me some help on shaving it down more?
The wall jump is what im worst at.

i also have a few more questions.

1. What's the difference between TAS and gba. in the TAS runs that everyone's been doing lately, can you modify samus' stats or capabilities or something? And what are save states?

2.Can you do a TAS run on zero mission or is it impossible? Has anyone done a run yet?

also how do you change the post "type" (like all the topics at the top are "sticky" types

everybody knows it's true

1. TAS stands for tool assisted (s); the tools are frame-by-frame, save states, etc.
2. TAS can be done with any game on an emulator
3. These godly powers are done by mods.

For walljumps, make sure you press the opposite direction right before you press a. They have do be right it a row, but once you get it its not too hard.

Quote from wah-ko:

And what are save states?

Save states allow you to save at any point in any game. Most emulators have 9-10 savestate slots. You simply save to one of the slots while playing a game, and when you load that slot again, the game will go back to the exact moment you made the savestate.

I'm planning to do a zero mission 100% TAS and I believe Dragonfangs is planning to do a low% TAS sometime in the future. Theres an unfinished TAS on this site and theres and any% at tasvideos.

I like Big Butts and I can not lie

You'll see the word TAS Smart tagged, I suggest you look there

TASes have no skill whatsoever, because they can save state before every room, and will luck manupault in thier favour,
but rather than it just about not making mistakes, it's also about visual perfection
so it's all pretty much all about entertainment

and Dragonfangs has gotten to atleast TRO now, as seen here,
I on the other hand have gotten to the 1st missile because i have to do testings on the fastest 10 missile tanks before nightmare so i might just finish off my map 1st
