Damn awesom SJF TAS.

Did you know which is fastest pattern against ID drone? I am see 1:03 is best all around. My personal best 1:06 is extremely rare too. Miles & Sparky did 1:03 his segmented runs. Its seems perfect.

MP2 also a bit MP1 speedrunning

the best i drone is a :56 supposingly, but its like a 1:10000 chance or so. Shouldnt be too difficult with savestates, since you can use them for every round idk.

1 second after the cutscene before the fight starts
8-13 seconds 1st round
.1 between each round (so .3 total)
15-25 seconds 2nd/3rd/4th round
However long it takes for you to hit the eye each time after it turns vulnerable

If you can hit the eye instantly that's a minimum of 54.3 seconds.

oh my bad, i thought it was 56.

I wonder if anything would happen if you killed the eye on both sides at the same time.

is there a not-horrible way to test this?

I'm assuming missile splash damage wouldn't work

Move the weak spot so that both of them are on the same side.

maybe if you fired the missile so that it's in the center of the 'head' when the hitboxes appear (assuming there even is more than one). I like parax's idea more for just seeing it anything special happens, though.

That's boring, I made the damageable triggers take up the entire room instead.

Too bad I made that change to my original version of the pak instead of my modified testing version.

Aaaand nothing unusual happened. Oh well, it was worth a try...

When you say 15-25 seconds, what are the intervals? Is it actually any number of frames between 900 and 1500 or are there only certain allowed values?

Also do all the values have the same probability? i.e. is it just as likely to take 20 seconds as it is to take 15?

Does controller input affect the random number generator? Dolphin shows that the analog L and R buttons, as well as the four directions of the C-stick (!) take values 1-255.

If so: Can recorded inputs be played back with modifications? Perhaps with LUA code? Then tiny fluctuations can be added to the analog inputs quickly to iterate redoing a small section to make enemy AI do something beneficial (e.g. Chozo ghosts staying close and visible, late Prime 1 staying on Plasma or Ice if you like, Miles' favorite puzzle coming out optimally, etc).

In short, is there RNG abuse that doesn't abuse itsPersonnal?

At the very least I know you can affect the RNG by charging your beam.

probably but it's out of my league in terms of writing a script to do anything like that.

my umbrella goes directly to Bankai

could a missile shot to a wasp and then the missile losing control and spinning in the air so that it hits the drone from behind while hitting it from teh front at the same time be possible? it'd be fun to see.

itsPersonnal definitely wants to TAS that. Also that wouldn't even help.

hi

I should be able to get much more speed off the dash, I should be able to shot the door, even if I need to slow down, I should be able to hop straight through the door if it opens fast enough

Edit: the door takes too long to open to go straight into it. But the trigger is right at the start of the halfpipe, so I can probably hit the trigger than dash off a zoomer through the door. This'll also give me time to shoot the door, hopefully.

You'll probably hate me just for asking, but may you do a Phendrana's Edge TAS under 21% conditions? I feel like it would be interesting.

MilesSMB

2015-05-03 10:07:18 pm

I agree, he probably hates you for asking that.
