the combined knowledge of super mario 64 TASers could probably recreate the source code from scratch by this point

Plus there's a growing braggadocio in speedrunning where people are trying their damndest to become personalities and get their faces on GDQs, whereas TAS guys happily toil away on robots and would rather spend their time making hour long YouTube videos about how many different ways you can press the A button on an N64 controller, which I respect more.

It's cool stuff. I've been thinking of how to get through bomb omb battlefield without jumps my entire last class.

I think the insane zelda 64 runners are epic in their own right. The way they use the exact spacing of link's moves to set up tricks is badass to me. ZeldaFreakGlitcha is the man and I watched his 100% world record over the past few days.

Street fighter games treat the button press and button release as separate operations. It's not just Mario 64.

i'm glad to know these are tool assisted because the idea of him manually doing some of this stuff like making the little bug hover or ccreating the floating goomba stairs was making me feel real bad about my gamer abilities.

I don't think it'd even be possible to do the goomba stairs and a lot of other stuff he does except by accident without TAS poo poo because it's based on multiple single frame inputs consecutively, IIRC.

At first I was wondering how he was getting perfect footage from different angles but it makes more sense with a TAS.

I think TAS people are cooler than speedrunners. Runners are still actually playing a game and practicing tricks and whatnot but TAS ppl are absolutely insane and when they see a video game all they can see is the code behind the Matrix

Actually lmfao in the video he says he builds up speed by making Mario collide with a wall and a ceiling element to make the game start accelerating him for some reason my eyes glazed over about but anyway he does this technique for 12 hours to build up a speed with like 8 digits in it which usually Mario has like 50 speed when he's running I guess, for scale.

Idk if you saw the Metroid Prime run at this past AGDQ but there was a new trick discovered similar to a Pedro Spot where you can put Samus in morph ball form and hit a certain element of the geometry that is frictionless due to competing boundaries overlapping and eventually Samus gets such a high speed that she turns into a ball of light and when you leave the frictionless element you're going so fast that the game thinks you are simultaneously touching every single square inch of every currently loaded room, which they use to collect certain items out of order.
