Katana ZERO TAS all stages in 13m 36s 620ms

Finally, after having spent like 400 hours on it, it's finally here, the full game TAS.
Sadly RNG manipulation isn't a thing and so the TAS cannot complete the game in one sitting due to all of the RNG elements. The video was recorded by stiching together each room individually as such the timer is all over the place.
You can find the TAS tool and a script for each room in here: github.com/DevCortez/KaTas
You can also look at a spreadsheet containing the human and TAS times of each room in the game here:

Amazing TAS. Sucks that a game like this has RNG though, would've loved to see a full unsegmented run.

[@Jey6an]

Set seed is an option in the speed run settings. Is there still rng if the seed is set?

[@notcyfhr]

@@Jey6anthat’s my thoughts

[@maeveskora]

there's still a few game mechanics where rng is still present, for example in shotgunner shot spread or when enemies fire in the entirety of whole moto section.

This happens when you kill an enemy with a near perfect horizontal slash, and if you then wait several seconds the enemy will reply the death animation once more (which can actually trigger enemies again as if this corpse was killed again).
