$Sonic Heroes (TAS) - Seaside Hill (Team Sonic) in 1:23.44 {WR} [4:3 + Memory viewer] This is a Tool Assisted Speedrun (TAS). For more info, please visit http://tasvideos.org Watch in HD if you can, it looks a lot better! (Thanks Sewer56 for the encode!) If you prefer to watch a 16:9 encode (widescreen hack), its available in Malleos channel: https://youtu.be/zzI2q_JelrM Authors: Tales (THC98) and Malleo Malleos Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/ShwaMalleoMK A while ago Malleo told me he was interested in TASing this game, and that motivated me to start the TAS over with him! So this is where we are right now. So many improvements!! Special thanks to Gamepro011, CriticalCyd, Deku, JustLemres, FusionVaria, and Sewer56 for all their help during the creation of this TAS. Most of improvements came from abusing level geometry while doing triangle dives to skip several sections of the stage. That also allowed us to also skip the trigger of the first bobsled section by going over it, which saved us quite a lot of time. Aside from that, we also implemented an object clip in the last pair of blocks before the cannon, which means that we didn’t need to switch to Knuckles and break those blocks. Another cool trick we found while making this TAS is skipping the “entering the cannon” animation by doing a thundershoot + flight accel as Tails in a very precise position below the cannon. This alone saves a whole second over entering the cannon normally! And finally, there were improvements due to minor movement changes. One example of this is the ascending pillars section, where we landed on the left higher part of the first pillar as Tails, and thus we could land on the second pillar by doing a triangle dive as Knuckles, avoiding the extra Tails flight. Tricks used in this level: Kick acceleration: You can press and release B to kick with Sonic, which is normally followed by a cooldown that prevents you from kicking again for a certain time. This cooldown can be circumvented by switching to Tails and then back to Sonic, allowing us to repeatedly kick over and over again. This allows us to build up speed a lot faster than normal. Triangle dive: Going into a triangle dive with Knuckles while in high speed allows us to maintain our speed longer than just jumping with a character. This allows us to clear wide gaps. Abusing level geometry: Throughout Seaside Hill, many vertical walls aren’t actually flat. By jumping against these walls at a certain angle, we can redirect a lot of our forward momentum into vertical momentum, allowing to scale walls a lot faster than normal. Light dash cancel: By switching formations right after doing a light dash (when you press B with Sonic to lock onto a set of rings), you will instantly jump to a speed value of 15.9. In situations where we have a lower speed value, this can be used to instantly increase in speed. Loop speed: By doing a homing attack while Sonic is above a scripted section (such as a loop), the game pulls Sonic down back to the loop with increasing speed. If this is activated while not directly above the loop section (by running off the loop while still maintaining its scripted effect), the game will indefinitely increase Sonic’s downward speed, until the homing attack is over. Furthermore, it’s possible to manipulate Sonic’s gravity direction (X and Z rotations) so his “downward vector” is pointed towards an arbitrary direction, which will also be the speed gain direction. Object clipping: With a high enough speed value, you can switch to Tails right before coming into contact with a door or obstacle, allowing you to go through it. This is used right before we reach the cannon to avoid having to break the two blocks that are in our way. Game version: NTSC-U in Game Cube Emulator: Dolphin 5.0 stable Rerecords: 5958 (As we branched out from multiple .dtm files, this count is likely not very accurate. Id estimate around 10k for this stage alone.)

[April Fools] SONIC HEROES - TEAM SONIC SPEEDRUN IN 5:51 BY TODD ROGERS ?! (#1 IN WORLD)

$Sonic Adventure DX (TAS) - Tailss Story in 20:24.57 {WR} READ THE DESCRIPTION BEFORE COMMENTING THE VIDEO! This is a tool assisted speedrun (TAS), a speedrun made using savestates, slowdowns and frame advances in an emulator to get a theoricaly perfect run, for entertainment. Visit http://TASVideos.org for more info. TASVideos submission: http://tasvideos.org/4129S.html IMPORTANT: The start of the movie shows Sonic completing Chaos 0 and Emerald Coast from my Sonics Story TAS, which is needed to unlock Tailss Story. So the actual TAS starts in the soft reset after Emerald Coast, in the frame number 8967 (VI 6690). Id like to thank Gamepro011 for all the help during the whole run; my Twitch followers for all the support and you for watching this movie :) About the TAS: - Game: Sonic Adventure DX - Author: THC98 - Emulator used: Dolphin 3.0-735 - Completes Tailss Story - Aims for fastest real time (over in-game time) - Uses luck manipulation - Heavy glitch abuse Individual level/boss times: Egg Hornet: 0:26.93 Windy Valley: 0:17.78 Casinopolis: 0:07.80 Ice Cap: 1:16.55 Chaos 4: 1:14.90 Sand Hill: 0:39.45 Sky Deck: 0:21.11 Speed Highway: 0:44.15 Egg Walker: 0:50.76 Final time (according to inputs number, without loading times): 16:59.58 Final time (according to frames number, with loading times): 20:24.57 Comments about tricks in the run: With Tails, its very easy to get to max speed, but going in straight lines can be difficult. But after some hard work, I got to finish the TAS :P Even with less speed and less glitches than Sonic, Tails is considerably broken. By pushing him into weird geometry places or to small gaps in the level boundary, Tails can easily go out of bounds. This allows me to skip some parts of the game, like taking the Ice Stone to open Ice Cap entrance, as I can simply clip the wall near there and go to Ice Cap. Talking about Ice Cap, this level and Sand Hill were the hardest ones to optimize, because of the snowboard physics. Its hard to keep a straight line while trying to stay on the ground. But when you get it, insane speeds are achieved. And this insane speed allows me to do another super speed trick, which is jumping twice in a ramp. Doing it in the 3rd ramp of Ice Cap with a good angle, you can go outside the level boundaries and go straight to the last section of the level, saving 8 seconds. That one was the trick that saved the greatest amount of time, but theres another one that saved a lot of time: the gravity glitch in Speed Highway. To do it, you have to go to the booster right below the end of the 3 air dashes in the start of the level, and fly from the end of it. If done right, Tails will fly sideways, and by holding up+left in the analog for some frames, you can lock his gravity angle. This allows me to fall straight to the end, literally. By holding B, you start descending, and the longer you hold it, the faster you descend.
