[TAS] Mach Breakers: Numan Athletics 2 (arcade) (4 players)
Notes:
-For more details for each events, please go read the comments of my other video : youtu.be/4BPC48GxgJE
-The game will do what it can to not have a tie. Even for the events for which I have copied and pasted the movements for the 4 players, the game changes the result to be sure not to have a tie. Most of the time, Player 4 has the advantage.
I tried different character setups and for the first event (Maximum Speed) Player 4 always wins.
-It seems to me that the stats displayed at the beginning (Speed and Power) for the characters do not affect the results for almost all events.
-Beast Hole: You get from 100 to 850 points when you hit a monster. The score depends on the distance from the back of the tunnel. To get 850 points, you must hit a monster on its first visible frame. Since you can have 2 bullets on the screen at the same time, the best case is to have 2 monsters on consecutive lane, the TAS can shoot the 2 bullets in 3 frames. The monsters appear at random, that is why you can see a relatively big difference in score between the characters.
-Block Buster: If you view the video frame by frame, on one frame all the character's time is 6:11, the next frame you have 6:13 6:12 6:11 6:10
-Same thing for Ground Spike. One frame they all have 347m20, the next frame all the distance are different.
-Did you see the Dig Dug animation at the end of Ground Spike? (36:16) From what I've seen in other YouTube videos, there are (at least) 3 different Dig Dug animations that can appear randomly at the end of Ground Spike.

Tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) of Cruisn USA Arcade (3/3) Devastator in 21:23.99
GOAL:
-Complete the game as quickly as possible
-Try to beat the times on Twin Galaxies at:
https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/cruisn-usa/arcade
https://www.twingalaxies.com/game/cruisn-usa-rev-l41/mame
-The first thing you learn while playing this game is that you never need to brake or release the gas pedal. All curves can be taken at full speed, but you lose speed when sliding.
-I did not see any advantage in choosing the manual transmission
-I did 3 TAS of this game improving my times in each one. I decided to post all three, not just the last one, because I think theres something fun to look at in all of them.
Video 1 https://youtu.be/uF8w0RYXdgE
-I chose the Devastator because it is the fastest car. (147 mph)
-In this first video I learn the limits of the game.
-There are 2 main wastes of time:
-Loss of speed when sliding in curves
-Loss of speed by hitting other racing cars, its fun to do but costs too much time.
-Conclusion:
-I have to stop hitting the other cars, the important thing is not to finish first but to have a minimum loss of speed.
-I finished first only on 6/14 stages.
-There are 8 times on the Twin Galaxies site that I havent beaten, so its possible to do better
Video 2 https://youtu.be/5S5AsIpgMD0
-This second video was made with the Italia car.
-As the Italia has a better Skidpad stat (1.01 G vs. 0.85 G), it will likely lose less speed in curves than the Devastator.
-Im going to try not to hit as many race cars as in the first video.
-Conclusion:
-I have upgraded 11/14 times which is good. It helps to have more grip in the corners, but when the road is straight the Devastator is quicker.
-But I havent beaten 5 times from the Twin Galaxies site
-I only finished first on 6/14 stages, like in my first TAS.
Video 3 (This video)
-I watched the videos on the Twin Galaxies website and noticed that some players werent playing with an analog controller and were doing a few stages faster than I managed to do, which gives me an idea.. .
-Strategy:
-Use the Devastator because its the fastest
-Dont hit anything that can slow me down. (cars, roadsides)
-Dont try to finish first at all costs
-If a turn is not negotiable at more than 140 mph, turn the steering wheel as much as possible so that the cars slide is as short as possible
-Conclusion:
-Ive beaten all but one of Twin Galaxys times, and a few Ive beaten by over 10 seconds.
-The only time I didnt improve was stage 6 LA Freeway, I did 1:48.80 compared to 01:48.32. , thats because this stage only has one curve that slows you down. A TAS therefore does not have many advantages. I should rework this part to get a better time.
-I finished first for 10/14 stages.
-I abused a bit of the loose collision at the end of Chicago (21:33), but no cheats were used.
-I read somewhere that the game is programmed to be harder for a stage after a stage where you finish first, thats why its difficult to finish first twice in a row, even for a TAS.
-Everything I did in these TAS is achievable by a human with a little luck (or not just a little?). I didnt use any special tricks or cheats, just precision driving.

Tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) of Pac-Man Arrangement Arcade Co-Op (1996) in 7:24 (2 Players)
Game from Namco Classics Collection Vol. 2
Goal: Finish the game as fast as possible.
-Time begins upon PUSH 1p OR 2p START BUTTON (0:26) and ends when you lose control of Pac-Man on the final stage (7:50).
-The record on Speedrun.com for Co-Op is 8:16. They had a very good game. I was surprise the TAS was able to cut almost a full minute out of that time. I didnt expect to improve this time so much.
-I lost some time to get a few fruits. I shouldnt do this in a speedrun but I cant help it. This leaves room for improvement.

Note:
-I used the normal rule for this game:
-The boost start is allowed, but any use of the off-road trick is strictly prohibited.
-So, when the car go outside the road, it should slow down (2:13 4:25).
-The only way to go the fastest is to follow the interior of the curves as much as possible.
-There is always enough space to pass between any car or truck and the side of the road.
-To do a boost start:
-Select Hi gear and do not press the accelerator all the way down before the start.
-press the accelerator only at the last second.
-At the same time, select Low gear for about 15 frames, then select Hi gear.

Goal of this TAS:
-Reach the maximum of displayable points (99,999) as quickly as possible
Notes:
-It may be possible to be a bit faster if I move the ship near the asteroids, less wait for the bullets to reach something. I will have to try that. (maybe with Asteroids Deluxe)
-You can have 4 bullets active on the screen at the same time
-The TAS tries to always have all those bullets active
-All bullets hit something. No lost bullets (Except for one volley to demonstrate the range of the bullets).

-I was a bit unlucky with the rng and I had to brake for traffic 2 times. So, with a bit of luck it is possible to go a bit faster.
-I could have had a lower score if I had lost 3 lives before the end but it would have taken time. The lowest possible score is probably 18600

Tool-assisted superplay (TAS) of Time Pilot Arcade (5 of 5) 319000 in 5 minutes
The goal is to find out what is the best way to get the best score in 5 minutes.
This is known as Caravan mode in Arcade Archives TIME PILOT on PS4 and Switch
The stopwatch starts as soon as the player can shoot.
I tested 5 different strategies:
1- Stay on wave 1 while getting as many paratroopers as possible (5000 points), shooting formations but not shooting 56 planes so as not to see the boss
2- Stay on wave 1 shooting as many planes as possible. (optimized for combo)
3- Stay on wave 2 capturing as many paratroopers as possible (5000 points) and shooting mid size Bombers for 1500 points each
4- Shoot anything as fast as possible
5- Stay on wave 3 shooting as many helicopters as possible, taking advantage of the missiles to score many combos (optimized for combo)
Notes:
-All bosses give you 1200 points for killing him by shooting or hitting him. This is given when he explodes, then you get another 3000 points.
-Scoring combo:
-When you shoot something (planes, bomb, missiles, boss) you get 100 points.
-But if you shoot a second thing before 1/2 second elapses you will get 200 points
-And so on, the score increases with each hits as long as the new hit is within 1/2 second from the previous one: 300,400,500,600,700,800
-The maximum points is 800, the next hit (9th) (always within 1/2 second), points will reset to 100
-If you shoot 8 planes in 4 seconds, you will get 3600 points not 800
-When you shoot a mid size bomber on wave 2 (1500 points) it take 4 shots, if each shots are within 1/2 second of the previous one, you will get 100+200+300+400 = 1000 points + 1500 points
-All bosses take 8 shots to kill, so you get 3600 points for the 8 hits, plus 1200 points for killing a boss, plus 3000 points more for a total of 7800 possible points for each boss.
-In video 2 and 5 I do not shoot as fast as possible, I wait for some enemies to appear before shooting them quickly to maximize the scoring
-In video 4, I did not optimize it. The TAS should be able to score higher if it did not shoot as fast as possible. I should do another TAS to test that.
-I should try a TAS that stays on wave 4 and shoot as many planes as possible, I think they spawn faster than the helicopters, if so maybe I could get a higher score .
Conclusion:
-Getting only the paratroopers in wave 1 is much slower than expected. I did not predict that the score would be so low.
-Only shooting planes in wave 1 is not fast enough, the planes are too slow to spawn.
-Shooting helicopters in wave 3 seem like a good strategy. Their patterns are relatively easy to predict and learn, unlike the fighters in wave 4 and the saucers in wave 5.

GOAL:
-Determine what the maximum score is for each goals.
-After obtaining statistics for all legs, determine the best path for each goals.
-I used the normal rule (from Twin Galaxies) for this game:
-The boost start is allowed, but any use of the off-road trick is strictly prohibited.
-So, when the car go outside the road, it should slow down. (1:47)
-To do a boost start:
-Select Hi gear and do not press the accelerator all the way down before the start.
-press the accelerator only at the last second.
-At the same time, select Low gear for about 15 frames, then select Hi gear.

Tool-assisted superplay (TAS) of Mad Planets Arcade 56 rounds (1,111,622)
Settings:
-Bonus Life Every 10000
-Difficulty Standard
Notes:
-It is possible to fire 3 bullets at 30 bps, but you must wait for a bullet to hit something or hit the side of the screen before you can fire again.
-Since bullets move fast, in a real game you should never run out of bullets.
-Holding the trigger will fire at 10 bps, but the bullets will travel less so you can fire continuously.
-Rounds 1 to 49 the TAS shoots all planets as soon as possible
-Rounds 50 to 52 the TAS shoots planets as late as possible but shoots them before they grow to get the bonus
-Round 53 (16:13) and 56 (19:44) the TAS let the planets grow and have fun with them, waiting a bit without shooting to see what the game does.
-Round 54 the TAS loses all of its lives (except one) to show that you only have 6 in stock and to see how long it will take to recover them
-Round 57 the TAS shows you cant hide in a corner, planets will hit you even faster than if you stay in the middle of the screen.
-Rounds 1-12 consist of a 3 round loop
-2 planets on screen at once, bonus for shooting all planets before they grow = 4000
-3 planets, bonus 6000
-4 planets, bonus 8000
-bonus astronauts, catch all the astronauts you can.
-After round 12 the loop is 4 rounds
-2 planets, bonus 4000
-3 planets, bonus 6000
-4 planets, bonus 8000
-5 planets, bonus 10000
-bonus astronauts.
-The background music beat increases with each round in a loop.
-Each time you shoot a comet, its value increases by 100, with a maximum of 1000 points.
-This value reset to 100 each round and at the start of bonus astronauts
-It also resets to 100 if you miss one
-Astronauts give you 300 to 1000 points.
-The value of an astronaut starts at 300 on round 4.
-It increases by 100 at the start of a loop
-So: turn 4-5-6 = 300, 7-8-9 = 400, 10-11-12 = 500, 13-14-15-16 = 600...
-You get 1000 points for each astronaut from round 29
-There is no astronauts in round 1-2-3
Bonus Astronauts
-Each astronaut earns you 200 points
-The bonus ends when a comet leaves the screen or the player has shot 10 comets.
-To catch more astronauts, you can shoot the comets at the last moment, before the comet leaves the screen.
-Compare round 9 (2:12) with round 12 (2:59)
-round 12, the TAS obtained 134 astronauts against 44 in round 9.
-In the first rounds the difference is very noticeable, but later the comets do not stay on the screen for long
-Here is the number of astronauts the TAS has captured:
-Bonus round 3 = 28 astronauts for 11,100 points - Comets were shot early
-6 = 39 for 13,400 points - Early
-9 = 44 for 14,300 points - Early
-12 = 134 for 32,300 points - Late
-16 = 130 for 31,500 points - Late
-20 = 12 for 2,400 points - No comet were shot
-24 = 132 for 31,900 points - Late
-28 = 154 for 36,300 points - Late
-32 = 128 for 31,100 points - Late
-36 = 164 for 38,300 points - Late
-40 = 149 for 35,300 points - Late
-44 - 162 for 37,900 points - Late
-48 - 145 for 34500 points - Late
-52 - 160 for 37800 points The first comet gave 300 points because it was from the end of the normal round
-56 - 146 for 34700 points - Late
-The game designers chose to give lives easily but limit you to only 6 extra lives, as demonstrated at round 54 (18:40)
-Because of this, the player cannot take a break or play badly for a while unlike other old games where you can accumulate more than 100 lives.
-Thats probably why this game doesnt have a super big hi score.
-As far as I know, this is the only game I know that works like this.
-You can see planets waiting in the background (like Tempest), those flashing orange dots. This gives you an idea of the number of planets left before the end of the round.
-Planets cannot collide with the player until the planet is fully developed.
-When a moon attacks you, if it reaches the edge of the screen, it will disappear. Unlike planets which bounce back if they reach the edge.
-This means you can get rid of moons spinning around you just by moving closer to one side of the screen.
-But if a moon leaves the screen, it will reappear in orbit around the planet.
-Number of planets per round on standard difficulty:
Rounds 1 to 3: 5,6,7
Rounds 4 to 6: 8,9,10
Rounds 7 to 9: 11,12,13
Rounds 10 to 12: 14,15,15

Rounds 29 to 32: 20,20,20,20
Rounds 33 to 36: 20,20,20,20 ... all subsequent rounds have 20 planets
-As you can see, the game starts with 5 planets, adds one per round until round 13 (except 12), then adds one per loop up to a maximum of 20.
-Maybe it will be different with another difficulty setting? In another TAS, I would like to see what difference there is if I put the game on the difficulty Very Hard

Tool-assisted speedrun (TAS) of Galaxian arcade (5K in 0:45)
The goal of this TAS:
-Get 5000 points as fast as possible
Notes:
-Exactly 0:44.77 (2686 frames) from the 1 player button pressed to the explosion of the last enemy.
-I did this TAS to see how much faster, compared to the record posted on SpeedRun.com (1:06), it is possible to get 5K at this game.
-This my first try for this game. I just played normally, shooting almost always on the exact frame that is possible after the previous bullet hit something.
