itsPersonal | FusionVaria | [TAS] Metroid Prime - Exo Skip Demonstration @itsPersonnal | Uploaded 5 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
I made this demonstration a long time ago, and planned on releasing it in a lengthy video essay on the history and details of this skip... but video essays are hard to make, and I'm never happy with how my commentary ends up.
This saves 1 minute and 40 seconds over the current Any% TAS.

This is more or less just a render test to see how TASes of this game look in 4k. The screen flickered in a couple places and I'm not entirely sure why. Could have been an issue in the framedump or the render. I'll look into this more next time I upload in 4k.

This is a tool-assisted speedrun of Sonic Adventure 2s Metal Harbor (Mission 3), with a completion time of 0:19.94.

This TAS does not use a speedglitch that exploits repeatedly bouncing to build speed. Personally I think this game is a lot more fun without using this tech, and it much more closely resembles non-TAS play.
The current record using TAS Bounce is a 0:14.17 by me:

I never would have imagined sub 20 was actually possible on this stage, every little innovation mattered in achieving this time. Brianpso reminded me of an exploit we discovered long ago, to use instant turnaround (a glitch letting you flip 180 degrees and convert positive speed into negative) to decrease deceleration, because decel works differently when Sonic is moving backwards. This allowed me to shave off 3 frames on the first platform in the stage.
Shier optimization was not enough to achieve sub 20, we needed innovation. Following the second jumppad, I used the downhill to build speed rolling, and then excited a very precise super bounce to VHC (vertical-horizontal conversion) and achieve a speed boost when converting to the flat ground. This also saved something around 3 frames.
The Carrier section utilizes the small slopes on the left and right of the main area to conserve high speeds captured by the 14-speed speedpad. Minimizing time spent on the flat ground conserved the most speed, and this zigzag path ended up being the fastest. Having extra speed at the final jump saves a substantial amount of time since aerial deceleration is so harsh, just have a bit higher starting speed equals a much sooner landing. A pause hover is used to conserve as much speed as possible.
The instant turnaround whistle at the end was just flashy entertainment, it did not lose or gain any time.
This TAS was a lot of fun to make. I have been on hiatus from TASing for a long while but perhaps there will be more Sonic Adventure 1/2 TASes from me in the near future.. Stay tuned(?)
