Super Metroid - Any% TAS in 0:22

2011-10-05 08:18:42 pm

This is my 3rd version of the classic any% run for Super Metroid, aiming for fastest completion time without the use of gamebreaking glitches or cheat codes. With a once again reworked route and improved techs and boss strategies I developed in many places of the run, the completion time is finally down to 0:22:38, breaking the 0:23 mark that was long time considered to be the TAS limit for a gamebreaking-free run.

Enjoy!

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!

Great run, Saturn. I love the Ridley fight. It just looks really apathetic, like Samus had better things to do than be messing about with a silly lizard. aiwebs_004

I'm surprised not many people commented on this yet. This certainly has a chance to be published on TAS Videos. I hope they bring the ingame category back because this TAS definitely deserves to be published. Being a runner of this game I prefer ingame time over real time. Everything from the route to the item manipulation and execution was incredible it would be a real shame if it doesn't get published.

Your always finding new things from room strats to Boss fights. This is why I would love for you to due the 100%. I can't wait to see what you have in store for us next. Keep up the great work Saturn!!!

Super Secret Area - Dead Ahead!

It's already been submitted, but is currently stuck in debate limbo. I suspect it will go through, but until a clear viewpoint is established, it'll keep cropping up.

Yea I know its a somewhat of a controversial debate on TAS videos. I voted and posted on TAS videos a while about it. Its been almost 2 weeks since he submitted it. It been saying Judging Underway for about 1 week now. There really thinking it through whether or not it should be accepted. Fingers Crossed!!!

It's not about the run being accepted. The run, as it stands, is fine, and perfectly acceptable. They are debating on whether they need the category or not. For TAS purposes, the in-game timer doesn't really mean much and that's where the debate kicks in again, and again.

I don't know why some people there keep acting like judgers if they're not. Adelikat, the site manager said:

Quote from adelikat:

Prior to the current publication we had the in-game time and real time any% runs published along side each other. I personally would be open to restoring that situation.

And instead of just voting for what the run goes for, seeing if it's optimized and accomplishes the goals set by the TASer, they're just judging the movie as if it was all about a new category, but the site manager said it wasn't the case. There was the in-game category before and it was obsoleted just because a faster movie was submitted, so if there's a new movie that is faster in-game time, it should be just published. Also, there are games that goes for in-game time, like Sonic, just because you can see the in-game time all the time.

Thanks for posting that Reeve for some reason I didn't realize adelikat wrote that. So its a very high chance this TAS will get published. There's no reason why it shouldn't get published. I mean yea Super Metroid has a lot of categories but, its also one of the best games ever made. I feel like some people hate just to hate.
