TSAs Wind Waker Splice Abahbob 2015-06-23 | A little background: Mike 'TSA' Damiani used to be known as the greatest Zelda speedrunner. He had several runs on SDA, including OoT, MM, FSA, TMC, and TWW. This specific run was submitted in 2005. In 2011, it was found that he had spliced some of his runs, specifically the OoT runs. At this point, all of his SDA times were removed and disappeared into the void. TSA (eventually) admitted that he had spliced his single segment runs, but was adamant that his segmented runs, specifically his TWW run, were not cheated.Back in 2012, Cosmo streamed himself looking for splices in all of TSA's OoT runs, and it was found that he had spliced at least 2 of the 3 runs.A few days ago I stumbled upon TSA's 6:42 segmented TWW run on nicovideo, so I decided to see for myself if he had spliced this run as well. It turns out, he did.The Evidence: Whenever you leave the cursor in the pause menu on an item, it will remain there until you exit the game. There is no way for the cursor to be moved outside of that. After completion of DRC, FW, ET, and before the Molgera Trial fight, the cursor is reset to the telescope, while it should have remained on the previous item. This is proof that those segments were spliced.Alongside this, on the transition into the ET and WT boss fights, the audio fades out incorrectly, starting on the door transition as opposed to on the fadeout. In the case of ET, you can actually hear the sounds from the poes in Jalhalla's room for a few frames before the transition ends. This suggests that WT was also spliced. However, the cursor is correctly placed after WT, so the evidence is based purely on the audio.This video shows myself playing through the exact same route, on a file that is almost identical to TSA's run. At the end of the video, it can be seen on my playthrough that the menu opens up to the grappling hook, while for TSA it opens up to the telescope.Sorry for both the wordy description and the overly-long video, I just wanted to show without a doubt that this is a splice. It's not as evident as the audio issue from the splice in OoT upon entering the Haunted Wasteland.
[PATCHED] Master Sword Before Leaving Great Sky Island | Tears of the Kingdom Abahbob 2023-05-18 | This only works on 1.1.1 and below, NOT CURRENT PATCH. In too much of a rush to get the Master Sword the intended way? Look no further. If you have issues with the Save Load Dupe (SLD), try doing it normally (as in, not trying to steal the Master Sword) just to get the hang of it.For speedruns, you'll make a save in the stairs, and then use an autosave within the shrine.I'm not really planning on making other "content" videos like this, so enjoy.SmallAnt's short guide on Save Load Duping: youtube.com/shorts/B2szSUpBIlcOriginal Video: youtube.com/watch?v=TKSQJ23ES_c
Cyberpunk 2077 - Menu Storage Abahbob 2020-12-16 | Opening a menu when you get teleported from OoB can make it get stored. In this case, I used the Esc menu. When I re-open it later and it opens to the save menu, I pressed "I". Haven't found any real uses for it yet.
CrossCode: Back in Time Glitch Abahbob 2018-10-10 | By using the menu glitch on the save menu and load menu, you're able to teleport one save into another save's location.
CrossCode: TeleWarp Glitch Abahbob 2018-10-10 | By using menu glitch on a teleport, you're able to store the teleport and activate it at another time. This lets you teleport to areas that would otherwise be inaccessible at that point in the game.
CrossCode: Save Warp Glitch Abahbob 2018-10-10 | By using menu glitch on a save, you're able to delay the "save" dialog. If triggered while exiting through a loading zone, this will cause the save to use your previous "entrypoint" and new "map name", allowing you to warp to unexpected exits on reload.
CrossCode Flare Burn Height Gain Abahbob 2018-10-06 | This game has few mechanics that put you in the air, and none of them allow for mobility. Using an item in the air allows you to cancel the ability, while being hit by Jolt allows you to cancel the item. It also knocks you south slightly, allowing you to get up onto ledges.
Wind Waker HD: New Superspeed Glitch Discoveries Abahbob 2016-06-30 | Early this morning a new TWWHD glitch was found by girtana1 with a setup was found by susslord. This glitch lets you go really, really fast. I spent around 7 hours messing with it today, and I just wanted to throw together a short video showing off what I've found.This is my first video in which I've actually made commentary specifically for youtube, and I did a lot of audio editing to reduce the time it would take for me to get it out. I apologize for any odd audio cuts.Make sure to follow me on twitch to keep up to date with my antics: http://twitch.tv/abahbob
Yasai Ninja: Episode 3 Route Abahbob 2015-11-11 | You can skip most of the later levels as well, I just can't bring myself to play the game any more to get a recording.
Ori and the Blind Forest: Bash Infinite Jump Abahbob 2015-03-12 | Should be possible off of other projectiles.
Dying Light - Awakening Optimizations Abahbob 2015-02-01 | At the beginning you skip having to jump across the middle.Skip a ledge grab right before the crane.Skip the animation for the first seizure.Ignore the falling at the end.
Jak and Daxter Fast Cell: Reach the Bottom of the City Abahbob 2014-11-19 | Just got back to this game again today. Damn.
[TAS] The Wind Waker: Master Sword in 11:58 Abahbob 2014-10-18 | Follow me on twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/abahbob for more TWW TASing.This was just a warm-up to get used to TASing again, so there are some glaring mistakes in the run. Still, this run is completed in 11:58, from file creation to having the Master Sword counted in inventory. The cutscene at the top of the Helmaroc fight gives you the Master Sword, which is the basis of the trick known as "Early Master Sword", or EMS. This route is the fastest way to have the Master Sword counted in the inventory.And yes, it softlocks at the end.
Jak and Daxter Early Cell: Climb The Slide Tube Abahbob 2014-09-28 | Billbraid found that you could stand on top of these guys' heads, and it turns out you can get OoB with it.
Winx Club (GBA) - Possible Memory Corruption/Total Control? Abahbob 2014-03-11 | I really need someone to look into this. I've tried debugging it but I really have no clue what I'm doing. Anyone want to take a look? The movie file can be found at dropbox.com/s/syce2f64vog4p0m/Winx%20Club.vbm.
Jak 2: Quicker Strat to Second Button in Mars Tomb Abahbob 2014-01-25 | This saves ~15 seconds over exiting backwards (which was faster than exiting forwards).
TWW: Acute Angle Jump Slash Clip Abahbob 2014-01-17 | I didn't know you could jumpslash here before. You have to be pretty close into the wall, feels pretty random how close Link will actually get.
TWW: Acute Angle Roll Clipping Abahbob 2014-01-17 | Just showing off that this is possible. You have to be pretty close into the wall, feels pretty random how close Link will actually get.
[TWW SD/HD] Cabana Deed Skip with L Slide Clip Abahbob 2014-01-17 | Edit: This is now console viable: youtube.com/watch?v=7ceEqdhrbHYShoutouts to Nap42 and Gymnast86 for coming up with the idea for this, I was just the one who TASed it. Also shoutouts to Mugg1991, since him using the deku leaf on a bomb for an old Earth Temple BK Skip was how I thought of leafing this bomb.This method is much more viable than the previous TAS-only one that was really precise, although this does have to be frame perfect as well. I'm not sure if this will be viable for console, perhaps once it gets super optimized or something.This method works on HD as well because it doesn't require storage like the normal TWW SD method. I'll try to get a video of it on console, but it's pretty dang precise.Also shoutouts to GobbityBobbity for absolutely nothing...
Jak 2: Steal the Jetboard Abahbob 2013-12-28 | This is an easier and quicker method of steal the jetboard.
Jak 2 & 3: Abahbounce Abahbob 2013-12-19 | Cool glitch. Seems you just need some corner you can ground pound into until Jak automatically "hits" thin air. Then press X several frames later, seems to be 3-4 frame window.
TimeSplitters Future Perfect: Picking up Cars and Almost OoB Abahbob 2013-12-17 | This game is something special...
TimeSplitters Future Perfect: Clip a Gate Through Almost Anything Abahbob 2013-12-17 | In this game, you seem to be the heaviest object, so you can push just about anything. Objects don't seem to mind a wall or two either.
TimeSplitters Future Perfect: Push Jo-Beth Through a Wall Abahbob 2013-12-17 | I found this silly little thing a while ago. She has an animation for climb through the boards which can be delayed by shooting her. Turns out the animation just makes her go through walls.She's supposed to be hanging there at the end, but for some reason she just doesn't spawn, requiring a "Restart from Checkpoint" later.
[Tutorial] Basic TASing with Dolphin Abahbob 2013-12-02 | This just covers how to use dolphin, make a recording, play a recording, and basic settings. Maybe I'll cover more advanced stuff later, idk.
[Old] The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker TAS Part 5 Abahbob 2013-12-02 | something something something I'm working on the TAS something something something
Nayrus Pearl Early with Door Cancel on Console Abahbob 2013-11-10 | This was during the race, turns out you need to activate the intro CS in Forbidden Woods before you do this or you crash, this was so good too D:
Deku Stick hover in FF1 on Console Abahbob 2013-11-10 | Did this during the big race, somehow got it the first try. Setup gives 2 frames to JS.
Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy: Forward Hover TAS Example Abahbob 2013-10-28 | Cerpin found this forward hover glitch where all you do is mash forwards while going off of a ledge. Sadly it's not possible to go straight horizontal, but this is still pretty awesome.
Puppet Ganon TAS Attempt Abahbob 2013-10-27 | fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2 fuck phase 2
Shrek 2: Skip a Section of Fairy Godmothers Abahbob 2013-10-24 | Using the cog to push you OoB, you can hit the checkpoint for the next section and skip a bunch of climbing with Puss in Boots.
Shrek 2: Box Clipping Abahbob 2013-10-24 | Holding a box changes your collision and loves to push you through corners.
Flushed Away: Vine Clipping Abahbob 2013-10-24 | Uh..... Something to do with the recoil from stabbing and the direction you're facing when you first stab. I'm not 100% on how this works.
Rocket Power Beach Bandits: Rollerblade on Walls + OoB Abahbob 2013-10-24 | This game is amazing. As long as you are still moving up the wall and have some speed, you won't fall. I haven't gotten far enough to look for actual uses of this, but I'm sure there are some (if you can't clip OoB in an easier way already).
The Ant Bully GBA: Zipping Glitch Abahbob 2013-10-20 | This was found in a Glitch Bingo race between me, HiipFire, Rocmox, and Mlink23. HiipFire accidentally found something kinda similar not really but he wants me to say he found it first.Basically you get on a flower before it falls, then get on it while it is falling and you move backwards insanely fast. TAS incoming?
[TAS] GBA Winx Club in 26:26.99 Abahbob 2013-10-12 | Bascially Rocmox, Akheon, and Kazooie broke this game and I decided to TAS it. It was pretty easy as most of it is text. It has some cool OoB shit though, and transferring actors from one map to the next. A decent watch, not the most entertaining, but it has some mind fuck in it.I'll get the submission up eventually.
TWW HD: Hyrule Softlock Abahbob 2013-10-04 | The first softlock in the game. Thanks rust for telling me to test what happens mid run and making me waste 30 mins!!What's interesting is that on the GC, the King says "You can only call Tingle from areas that have maps". The text he gives here is the text from Tetra after arriving in Hyrule 2. And it doesn't softlock on GC.
TWW HD: Windfall in Ganons Tower Abahbob 2013-10-04 | Not really. But using the windfall cutscene skip, activating it at the last moment possible during night (you have to hit the trigger to get the cabana deed :/), the Windfall Island label stays up until another label should appear. This is as far as you can get without Cabana Deed skip, theoretically it would be possible to beat Ganon with it up otherwise.
Winx Club: Skip Most of Sparks Abahbob 2013-10-04 | This game... oh man. OoB, actor transfer, moving OoB offscreen. Great shit.
TWW HD: Top of ToG Out of Bounds + Bizarro Triangle Island Abahbob 2013-09-25 | (Title stolen from Klydestorm to show it's the same trick) Well, you can't grapple out like you could on GC, but a ZH works. Island looks the same.
Wind Waker HD: Windfall Island Cutscene Skip Oddities Abahbob 2013-09-25 | It's possible to skip the cutscene of arriving on Windfall Island (found by Venick) on the Gamecube, and it works on HD. When returning when there is a different actor set than there is expected (night time, Endless Night), the Windfall Island label remains. On the gamecube, talking to any NPC would softlock, and entering any loading zone would cause it to disappear. Since it doesn't disappear on HD, that suggests there has been a change in the way loading zones work.
Wind Waker HD: Soup Storage Doesnt Work Abahbob 2013-09-25 | Glitchesandstuff found out that in Wind Waker on the Gamecube, a frame perfect soup dive could get storage. Parax and I tested for a while and couldn't get it to work. While it is entirely possible we were both 1 frame late and 1 frame early each time, I find that unlikely. Believe what you will, but I would say that this is patched. Which means it is highly likely storage itself is patched.
Wind Waker HD: Spoils dive into FF2 Abahbob 2013-09-22 | Actually usable in a run since you already have joy pendants for cabana deed. Just mash A when the text box is about to appear. Gotta bounce off the side of the rock to slow you down.
