Portal 2 TAS by Can't Even and mlugg in

[@gamesdonequick]

Runner introduction starts at 1:00 Run starts at 1:57 Keizaron interviews MrMightyMouse_ at 56:21 Commentary is provided by baister09 Brutal_Melo is host

[@variousthings6470]

4:00 - I like the fact that the "imagine a bus" explanation of the Mario Bros frame rule system is so recognisable that it gets a laugh from a crowd of speedrunners.

[@PJOZeus]

It's more because it's not just mario bros - that may have been the origination (not even sure it was) but definitely the thing that made it catch on It's just such a common concept in running, and its the simplest explanation for someone who doesn't run that it was just kind of universally adopted

[@joey-pace]

@@PJOZeus it’s moreso like an in-joke within the community that made them laugh i think

[@CantEven]

@@joey-pace yeah it's probably better to explain it like an actual elevator and not overcomplicate it, but the bus thing is funny

[@starskygo1499]

love that they used the tv in the game to help explain the game

[@AegisXIII]

"imagine a bus..."

[@crystal13244]

but the bus is an elevator

[@MagicLeavez]

Classic

[@talica19161]

This is not Mario but he can jump high.

[@gorlix]

ah yes... :)

[@you238]

@@crystal13244 I mean, how much different are a bus and an elevator? An elevator is basically like a train that goes up/down, and a bus is a train without rails.

[@starrybook]

That finale 4 skip is officially the greatest moment in TAS speedrun history

[@2LettersSho]

How did we not think of adjusting the player's secondary hitbox rotation value until now? XD

[@fondbeebboop9705]

@@2LettersSho thats a super small detail id bet

bailey’s one input was the best part of the run

Single most important additional to any TAS run in history... :)

[@lowkey4890]

watching the skips from 3rd person at the end was really awesome

[@nezzled]

I'm sorry but that intro incorporating the tutorial into the video was hilarious

[@Sompursone]

It was watching this run that I realized their names on the left were lighting up any time they were talking. A very nice and most likely under-appreciated detail.

God's I love TAS runs - this is absolutely amazing

[@rickybooth6537]

"this is actually pretty simple" TAS, "CRACKHEAD MODE ENGAGED"

[@16BitGamerCat]

Of course Krzyhau is the only provider of inputs for Triple Laser.

[@_fudgepop01]

That mod is brilliant - kudos for the fun and succinct explanation of mechanics!~

[@vanderkarl3927]

I know it didn't look like much, but that Finale 4 skip was absolutely incredible. Absolutely mind-boggling.

[@SilentProductions-026]

I fell asleep halfway through and now I'm watching the VOD BTW LETS GO SGQ & FOR DOCTORS WITHOUT BORDERS!!!!

It's great to see Can't Even return to GDQ for some more Portal action

[@BRamz_121]

Although if you think about it the statement they made right after Bailey's input is technically true.. If I'm understanding tas software correctly it just reads off lines in a notepad document every single tick telling the controller what to do, so if the row containing Bailey's input was just straight up removed the rest of the run would be an entire tick off... Not sure if that would break the run or not, but it is an interesting thought.

[@CantEven]

each map was done individually so technically it only would have messed up the rest of the map, and not the rest of the game still, his input in spirit carried the TAS to completion

[@JaioCG]

Yes/no. Portal 2 tasses have two forms of letting the TAS know when to run inputs, normal tick notation and + notation. If a TAS is written in entirely tick notation, so every line starts with exactly which tick it should run on, then removing a line wouldn't change anything since the following lines are still running at the ticks set, however + notation starts lines with how long after the previous line to wait before starting the current line, so say +20>> at the start would run that line 20 ticks after the previous line. Also, each TAS is broken down into chamber, so technically only the rest of Prop Intro (the map Bailey's input is on) would be off if + notation was used there.

[@Ibbys_space]

HOW DID I MISS THIS HELL YEAH P2SR COMMUNITY !!

[@cofiddle]

Haha 3:15 the tutorial mod is brilliant 👏. Nice job with that one guys

[@Moehre040]

funny thing is because the normal strafejumping method looks so unnatural it actually looks faster (to me at least) than what the TAS is doing.

[@NoriMori1992]

This was breathtaking. I'm so glad I started watching speedrun explanation videos a while back. That's how I found out about Can't Even, which is how I followed his channel on Twitch, which is how I found out about this TAS, which is how I got to watch speedrunning history get made in real time. Thanks everyone.

[@eratheoracle]

Amazing tas from an amazing community

« So this room has wall and here we are at the end, and now we wait for elevator »

[@TGOPoma]

Now, we're thinking with Portals!

[@DarkblooM_IO]

Believe me we are thinking with much more than just portals

[@miunya]

Thank you. ALL the runs I wanted to see was on at like 5am because of time zones. I never played these games but I really like watching others play it. 🥰

[@christophsiebert1213]

There is a sole developer still updating Portal 2 to this day? What a legend? Wonder if he gets paid enough to do that.

[@forgottenalex]

The modded monitor display was a great touch. Now we just need the voice lines of the NPCs to be replaced with AI voice lines that break the 4th wall and narrates the TAS

[@melafyre]

Portal 2, except GLaDOS now has a portal gun instead of Chell.

[@NoriMori1992]

45:30 "We are gonna peek into this room-" _"Did something break back there?"_

i love portal 2

[@Endless_BS]

i was every minute saying "oh i finished that level in like 40 minutes" then the tas procedes to complete it in 3 seconds shooting portals and moving in ways that are impossible for humans to do

glad to see hungarians be a part of portal speedrunning 😁

[@laytonspuzzle]

42:27 You guys have an interesting definition of "inbounds"

[@KidKat__]

Still inside "playable" space. Out of bounds is mostly referring to when you go outside the background scenery and everything becomes black.

I think this tas guy is using some external tools, should be looked into

[@BluishGreenPro]

This was really impressive, but as someone who does suffer from motion sickness, I wish they didn’t spin the camera around so much when they were waiting for the elevator and other such moments when there was no reason to

[@ZeroKage69]

the only thing left is to trigger the next level's dialogue while waiting for the previous level's dialogue to end.

[@purple4395]

I often threw the cams just for fun and was massively confused when I got dialog about a yet to beat level.

[@moosemooseson]

And the dialogue bus goes vroom vroom

[@Temaran]

When they talk about that it's a shame they couldn't show X because it goes by too fast. It's a shame they didn't realize that they could have just slowed down the interesting parts in post, it's a prerecorded run after all :) Still a great run though, no shade at all!

[@marlonb1852]

You can actually see that Part in the Credits (just in Third Person View). The reason they couldn't slow it down is because the Recorded run needed to be equal to the Ingame time

[@DarkblooM_IO]

This is history

[@Aikoyori]

ok not gonna lie the TV was genius

[@CakeDuck112]

That is incredible.

[@CharlotteKavina]

Did they ever explain the four buttons in the center of the controller overlay? I caught the J is Jump, but the rest I couldn't figure out.

"live recorded, then stitched together and played back" So its segmented TAS?

50:20 what the heck is a "toilet swoosh"?

[@lucasskywalker64]

At the start of the run you can see the TAS throw a clipboard into the toilet in the Vault, this is called toilet swoosh haha

[@ashisharky]

The game looks like it has higher contrast/vibrancy than normal. Anyone know why?

[@lucasskywalker64]

The run was recorded with demos and then rendered into a video with SAR which allowed us to use very high quality settings and stuff to make it look better (for example artificially increasing the brightness in dark areas to make it more watchable)

[@ashisharky]

[@ZeroKage69]

I am just curious when a portal is being fired cause the ui lights up the blue or orange portal thing saying a portal was placed but then it's like 5 frames later on the input viewer that it shows an input being pressed so is that just the input viewer being slow or whats up with that?

[@seareez]

The input viewer is a completely different video that had to be layered on top of and synced with the gameplay, so desyncs are just human error
