Made with Bizhawk 2.8.[TAS] SA2B - Metal Harbor M2 - 19.00USTA2877 | EthanD2022-01-12 | EDIT: this run has been beaten! @itsPersonnal@itsPersonnal helped me once again to get 18.65. Time was saved on the ending with the final loop to gain massive speed.
Beats my old run by 132f, or 2.2 seconds.
Time saves came from all over the level, mainly from better optimization from copying inputs from the mission 3 run (youtube.com/watch?v=z7RMtDhEo6M) by @itsPersonnal
Improvements over the old run, up to the first loop, came from optimizations which gave Sonic more speed and positioned Sonic to use his air-time more efficiently to skip the large boost pad. After the first ring dash, going to the left of the enemies instead of going to the right helped conserve more speed, which saved some time (landing earlier allows me to build speed more quickly). A much better TAS bounce section saved a bit of time as well since it was poorly done the first time, and better ending strategy after the check point saved some time too, not sure how much (hugging the rails while bouncing gives me more speed and sets me up for the loop skip faster).
Sub 19 is possible — I'm thinking during the long bounce section or in the beginning collecting the first 4 rings is going to be where time is saved. I wasn't able to save any near the end.
A TAS for the 130 Star I made from Summer 2016. I have to recover some of the files and put them together, and I have to redo this anyway because you can't hex together 100 coin stars due to RNG desyncs.

Yes!!! I beat the old record (10"60) by a LOT thanks to a new strat I used to get to the shy guy quicker. I was able to turn around at the elevator rather than having to go into the windmill to turn around and that saved a lot of time and speed.
The one thing I'm not really satisfied with is the ending though and no matter what I tried, I couldn't 1) hit the star in mid-air or 2) use another ending which involved keeping the speed at the end to double jump to ground pound into the star. The bouncing inside of the walls was really tricky because I had so much speed. I'll probably fix it sometime later.SM64 TAS Competition 2015 - Task 2 in 2180USTA2877 | EthanD2015-01-27 | TASK 2: Enter "Wet-Dry World" on the lowest water level and collect the star "Top O' the Town" without wall kicking or triple jumping.

But really this took much more time than it should have to make. Overall this was really just a test to see if it would work; here's what I learned:
- desyncs frequently before the character select screen (usually because of random controller input) - will sometimes not play the movie back with the same conditions as they were recorded with + doesn't desync at all during gameplay
I hope you enjoy! I'll be making more.Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (TAS) - Green Forest M1 - 0:59.67USTA2877 | EthanD2013-10-14 | Please watch in HD.
Sorry everyone for being inactive for a loooooong while. There was a problem that came up disallowing me from doing anything (something crazy happened to my computer and it wouldn't start for weeks, which happened before my school year ended). When I wasn't doing anything I started to lose interest in playing games... I became more focused on school and sports and friends and family. Then my computer got fixed and I was just all "meh..." so I didn't use it, then the summer came, and A LOT of things have happened and changed.
I'll reach out all the time, even if I can't post things. Unfortunately now my summer is over and I have to go back to school, so I'm actually going to be occupied. And thanks to everyone who subscribed/has stayed subscribed, it means something to me that you waited.
Tool-assisted. This is the fastest this game has ever been.
I'm starting a new super-play; I'm not doing so well on the Tails' Story TAS (stuck on Egg Hornet), so I thought I'd switch over to something easier and more fun. As of right now, this is where I'm at (4/11 characters beaten). I'll finish this, then maybe move to Budokai 2.

This is a work in progress video of a Tails' Story TAS I've been working on for a little bit. Tell me what you all think! I know the sound isn't in complete sync. Dolphin doesn't capture any video lag, so I had to edit sounds myself. It's not that important anyway; it's just a WIP.
Sonic's Story is NOT TASed! It's just to prove I've unlocked Tails to play as.
Thanks to THC98 for helping me a lot and teaching me about Tails.
The beginning is very optimized. The ending from the side flip to the star get was optimized too. Everything in between could be better, I think.[TAS] Star Road - Big Boos Tower - 21.63USTA2877 | EthanD2012-10-25 | 22.00 → 21.63 (-0.37 sec.)
