[MKWii TAS]Mushroom Gorge Flap - 3844
updated
This TAS was made by @Kierio04, @SirLucas. and myself.
When I started doing this run, I originally thought Automatic actually had a big potential there, but it turned out that it wasn't the case. I still decided to go with even if it just barely beats Rocky's BKT because it was still very funny for automatic to at least have the BKT on yoshi falls, even if just for a bit. So yes, I do think manual is faster here, unless a major new strat is found for automatic(like a different shroom spot). Nonetheless, I'm quite happy with this run, this track is some of the worst QM hell I've had to deal with but it turned out pretty good regardless.
I don't know about 3 laps, once again, I think it could potentially beat the current BKT but manual is probably still better. I will see if I have the motivation do the 3 lap one day.
I worked on the entire lap, Lucas helped on the bridge and first boost panel(and a bit on the last waterfall), Kierio did the Kierio improvement on the last turn/straightaway. Ego also tried to help on the last waterfall but couldn't find an improvement.
Music: VIVE LE VENT D'HIVER HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA TROP DROLE ON SE MARRE, C'EST BIENTOT NOEL CAPICHE???
I wanted to give this a shot, although, the lack of tools to do so makes it really hard to optimize du to MKWWatch doesn't work on this dolphin version(which is required to play this mod), and the lack of racing against a ghost(yes, this uses the movie function to replay). So I might just wait for ghost support for Tournament Museum(used here, credits to the creator btw!) before doing serious runs on this(but hey, at least it's possible to TAS them!). I also accidentally did this on 50Hz so this is why the framerate of the video is a bit wanky lol
If you have any questions about strats being used in this run, check the Q&A down bellow, there may be your answer!
One of my favourite TAS of all time was the Automatic TAS by DwainiumB on this course (1'42"893) and Moonview Highway always had a special place in my heart for TASing.
I eventually decided to give it a shot because I was really curious on what Automatic was truly able to achieve.
After finding and implementing a lot of new strats, a lot of them only saving a few milliseconds, like the UwU strat(yes, that's how I call it nerds) at 0:34 where drifting for 2 frames on the left allow you to go more to the right for example, I ended up with a way better time than I had originally anticipated when starting this TAS(for me, the sub 1'42 was just a dream haha). I'm very happy with the result, I put quite a lot of time into this trying to save milliseconds after another and that clearly paid off!
(Note: There may be some wacky frames on S-O-M as it was recorded separately and then slightly speeded up to sync correctly, should really only affect the decimal though)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A quick Q&A:
Q: Why are you not maximizing wheelie time during the boost panel section?
A: Because it's actually slower. The difference of speed is very small between wheeling or not, if you were on a straight line, it would take you slightly less than 37 frames to actually lose 1 millisecond! Therefor, taking tighter lines and doing some "wiggling" to push you more forward is better in a lot of cases. I have to say, the boost panel section is very counter-intuitive yeah.
Q: Is going on the right at the start of the boost panel section faster?
A: Yes, by around ~0.030ish something(per lap). I found this very randomly because I was curious on how much I would lose by going there on lap 3 due to the truck, and I noticed I was going ahead of my ghost lol. Even not doing this entirely optimally is very easy and still faster for RTA users.
Q: Is triple trick not faster?
A: Well, I experimented a bit with it, but coming down from the hill cut made it way less viable so I couldn't get anything faster out of it personally. Marth later took a look and managed to find a way to make it faster by around ~0.02-3, you can see it here: streamable.com/9ahtux (I'm however not gonna remake that TAS over this, at least not alone)
Q: Is the hill cut faster?
A: Yes, by around 0.080 I would say, very TAS only though.
Q: Is going on the right at the end of the lap faster or not?
A: It is slower by 0.004 (or around 0.010 for lap 3), however, it is required on lap 3 due to the truck blocking you from going to the left. It is faster for lap 2 because the truck blocks you a bit (forcing you to break the wheelie) when doing the hill cut on lap 3.
Q: Isn't going inside the truck on lap 2 u-turn faster? Also couldn't you took it tighter?
A: Going inside is slower BY A LOT because 1: you need to slow down, 2: you end up so much to the right and your alignement is absolutely terrible for the bridge. And no, this is as tight as you can take it, the hitbox of these trucks are much bigger and kinda wacky tbf.
Q: Why are you breaking your wheelies just before the bridge?
A: Doing chain wheelies do not make you lose speed unless you're above 95.4km/h. This allows me to turn more in wheelies on lap 2 for example but it also delay the chain to be right before the boost panel (basically making it irrelevant).

I think the run was kinda deadge after the alignement entering lap 3, but yeah. Ramp on lap 2 was shit and ended up not even saving time (and maybe even costing time instead). Let's keep on believing it's gonna happen *copium* -- Watch live at twitch.tv/estaloy62

(press time ending a bit late, I re-timed it to 11:50.73)
Sub 12 minutes is here and finally a run with a proper bowser fight! Still room for improvement, I might try a bit more. A sub 11:30 would be the long term dream tbh, will see!

A lonnnng time ago, I started a run which the goal was to a Vajrayana OF as Oirat into Qing (back in 1.30, so no monuments). Dropped that run because the start screwed me over in the long term and conversion wise, I wasn't doing good enough.
So now, we're back, starting as Jianzhou, going into Qing, doing a Mongol One Culture with confucian religion (on 1.32).

It's possible that some parts of the video (normally only one for like 5 minutes) is muted due to copyright block. Also, fuck youtube, the part from 1516 onward got frozen (since I muted the song through youtube thingy and it bugged entirely apparently). So yeah, can't be bothered posting the part from 1516 until 1518 (it's just ~20 minutes) since it's the part who had all the copyright issues (so it would almost be entirely muted) and I just finished off the war with Uzbek and then enjoyed peace for the next 2 years while killing rebels, and then finished the stream on pressing the mandate reform and declaring war on Orissa for reconquest. So, you didn't miss anything important.

First stream of doing a World Conquest starting as Ming on 1.31.5, while staying Confucian(and harmonising) and with the mandate. While Confucian is agreeably bad, especially the harmonisation process (the best thing to do would be to simply flip to Hindu in this scenario), Mandate is underrated by a LOT of players which simply don't know how to use it and how strong it is when used correctly.
Ming also has this stereotype that comes from the fact that AI Ming indeed sucks, but Ming in the hand of a player (who knows how to play Ming at least), is a top contender for a World Conquest, and an easy one.
Hopefully this run will show quite a bit of the trickeries you can do as Ming and explaining what I said above.

Made that like 2 weeks ago and thought I would maybe comeback to this to improve but was like "hold on, playing mkwii? nah, eu4 is only way"
blablabla insert comment about the run here that no one will read anyway
record that shit on dolphin cuz I made that on my wii and both my wii u and my avermedia are not where I am so I couldn't record with it. Who cares anyway (time is on ctgp)
blablabla insert other stuff here
now here's the music link which I don't know I bother putting because 50% of you will complain about the music not being your taste, 40% will not care and 10% will just ask what's the music in the comment but hey, slovak music cuz why not! youtube.com/watch?v=ZALtzTmPz-E
Maybe one day I will upload eu4 content here, one day... who knows...
Lap 1 is definitively the worst lap, quite a few things are done wrong and can be improved. Lap 2 is good, the shortcut could have been. Lap 3 is obviously the best lap, I think the shortcut strat is the best here. So all in all, improvable run but I'm quite happy with the result to be honest.
Music: youtube.com/watch?v=KaAj4a8a8KE
Anyway, this TAS isn't entirely optimized(because, I'm not enough into TASing to do this kind of things nowadays), I just wanted to show some strats and notably the new glitch strat I found for lap 2(and also, uploading a finished TAS for once).
I started TASing this again today with the idea of going behind the wall after the last ramp so you could directly do the glitch from there. However, it ended being more difficult than I thought and I couldn't do it(though, it might be possible).
But I noticed that you could avoid the OOB area and land back down there. With that in mind, I thought you could maybe do the respawn glitch from there without doing all the shenanigans at the start of the lap(like the legit WR do). And it ended up possible! The lap count is, however, very precise, as you need to hit the finish line at a certain lap completion if you want it to count the lap (so I think it's 95% rule based) and also avoiding touching the checkpoint 1 which is right after the finish line. This glitch makes you lose ~2.5 seconds on lap 1, but saves a massive ~5 seconds on lap 2, so it saves ~2.5 seconds overall.
I believe a 1'13 could be done with a couple of new strats and better lines (I really don't know how to do that part from 1:08 till 1:30 so I ended up with this strats which might not be optimal at all for example), but I'm done with this.
Music: youtube.com/watch?v=mnVKHBqX-vM
(yes, the ssmt was a thing in the rules I needed to do)
To be fair, it was harder than I thought
Also, terrible music timing recording I know but whatever
Also, yes, as you can see in the top 5, I did a 3'13"656 2 days ago which sucked ballz everywhere except the SC which was really good but I beat it in 20 minutes so who cares
Also, this is the second time I hit a 3'20 because I did a 3'20"874 which I thought wouldn't have even PRed but LUL
Music: youtube.com/watch?v=v4xZUr0BEfE
lap 2 was pretty bad
going for 3'20 obviously
Now I (FINALLY) have 2nd World Wide, European record, Wiichuck BKT and no luckwheelie BKT... All of this ranks are obviously very, very important because it's a Custom Track!
To be serious for a second, the run was strong until 1:43 where completely killed lap 2. Lap 3 was kinda ok, some mistakes here and there but thank god, I didn't fail it so that's what make this lap amazing LUL
I did a run 30 minutes before that one, a 3'14"168 where I was ahead from 1:52 compared to this run, but I got very unlucky at the exit of the canon on lap 3 where I ended in the offroad. You can watch this run here:
twitch.tv/videos/629031522
Music: dArtagnan - Wallenstein
PS: Just took me a bit less than 3 years to beat Swag Man Havoc...
oh yeah, also, fuck lap 3.
On a serious note, this attempts were done today on stream. I'm gonna stream tonight to, but not glitch (so I can practice a bit more the lap 3). This session was quite good considering the number of shortcut I manage to did but sadly, I couldn't even PB. My goal here isn't BKT as I don't have the potential to do, but I want to get 2ndWW/ER/mid 3'13 as I have the potential for it (as you can see with this run where I lost around 1 second every time on lap 3). My PB is 3'14"325 from June 2017 (back in the day when a time like this was actually not to far away from BKT LOL).
This track is quite fun to play(only track where I have fun playing it atm, which is very rare on MKWii for me) so yeah, will see where I go with this!

Oh yeah sorry, I meant to be a professional youtuber that take care a lot of my channel with frequent and quality uploads... So yeah, hum..... you see.... I was bored.... so I did this... And I randomly synced well the music with the start of the video.... so I thought I would upload this publicly.... because..... that's cool.... I guess...
sadly, to far from bkt (but auto bkt though I guess, if that means something)

wow, I didn't think I could get the BKT with that combined lap 1+2 actually :o
The run was ok in general, lap 3 was really nice, lap 2 was ok and lap 1 sucked.
Might go for 2'24 but well, really happy to get another Auto BKT, my 3rd one :p and my first no glitch one!
