This runner is really good, wow

[@kekke2000]

Yeah TAS must be for The Awesome Speedrunner

[@dwangoAC]

Just to make sure no one is deceived, this is a Tool-Assisted Speedrun performed on a real console.

[@pepsiman7033]

It's almost as if it was a *robot*

[@tintim2230]

dwangoAC, keeper of TASBot what do you mean by real console

[@mrburns366]

@@tintim2230 it's not run on an emulator, it's a real NES

[@WhatThePuckPT]

That moment at 3:55 when TASbot manages to get the overflow 1-up sound glitch EDIT: And then it manages the same at 4:20 - twice.

[@FinleyZero]

I love that faint "what the hell?" in the background at 9:43

[@chrispotts3794]

Good catch, I agree. That was probably my favorite part of the video. I had the same reaction for what the bot did on that castle level.

[@adcgdsin9320]

9:29 A person said "that's illegal" too lmfao

[@landonsmith9]

This TAS guy really knows what he’s doing

[@butterslice1053]

This TAS gut has a lot of world records. I’m surprised how nobody has tried to compete against him

[@raphielohnef4678]

He's so good he has his own speedrun category for almost every game :)

[@ClashRoyaleNerd]

Would be impossible :)

[@fungidragon7494]

I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not

[@kingd8232]

There is a reason he's called TAS. That stands for The Awesome Speedrunner!

[@mintyjasper]

Fungi Dragon it is-

[@Femboy_Grey]

That guy in the background was LOVING this run, his mind was blown away by the triple clip as well

[@iroraccy]

"WHAT? WHAT?!?!"

[@kurtownsj00]

So mad I didn't attend. 40 minutes down the road and I missed it.

[@LovesickDemon]

imagine going to see a play and it ends 10 minutes in

[@riffmond]

"ORB" - the GDQ audience, when they see anything even remotely spherical

[@RiverKinn]

3:19 i just realized this little music sting is also the beginning notes of the ocarina of time title theme.

[@DragonNexus]

It's an item that originated in the original Legend of Zelda, so it makes sense.

[@Doggywoof1]

This Tasbot guy is really cool. I wonder if he will draw a dinosaur?

[@idiotboxs]

Rob casually speedruning mario 3 without looking at the controller

[@TheDeclanRowe]

9:28 "That's illegal!"

[@burby-thomas]

9:23 *dude in the back* WHAT?!?!?

[@kaseybrown7664]

To think there was a time when I needed the Game Genie for this..........

[@alexpiggy]

Amazing work.

[@Crestfallen_Fawkes]

9:24 "WHAT?!"

[@tomhinsley4276]

Within 5 mins he's halfway through world 8 and has 97 lives

[@Snowbi2022]

When TASBOT reaches an autostroll level TASBOT: Welp... TIME TO HAVE SOME FUN!

[@KingOganesson]

Awesome job guys! So proud of all of you

[@revenevan11]

New TASbot design HYPE!

[@reedr7142]

They know the princess joke at the end is a reference to Mario 1, right? Awesome run. I don't care that it's with a bot. I love seeing attempts at the fastest possible speeds a game can be won, even with a computer :)

[@goji_crafter]

Wow. That's quite a run

[@edlowry1]

Well done to all, amazing

[@reverbfarteffect223]

That one dude in the back who is just hype as fuck is amazing

[@Sponge07]

I got to say that run was amazing. Keep up the good work TASBot team!

[@Orgun1213]

I never thought to play this game like that in my youth. Great run!!!!!

[@binarycat1237]

Now I wonder if you could pause buffer to shoot more fireballs (it wouldn't be helpful but can you?)

[@TiKevin83]

The fireball shooting is limited to 2 on screen, so if you shoot them offscreen you remove any limitations and can fire every other frame (have to release a button to be able to press it again). Don't see how pausing would change anything

[@kruks]

It's capped at 30fps (fireballs per second) because the game is running at 60fps (frames per second), and in order to detect another button press, the game needs to detect a non-press for at least one frame. So 30 button presses + 30 non-button presses uses up all 60 frames, hence is the hardcap on fireballs per second. Pause buffering wouldn't get around that.

[@Sonicgott]

More like Shenanigans Mario Bros.

[@kyoopihd]

That 8-fortress...

[@MarioSonic46]

There are other castles. They lead to the airships. Then you go back to the castles to change the kings back to normal.

[@arturocaceres1983]

The best!!!!!👍👍👍👍

[@Vegatable]

If youve played mario youve tried to get a one up on the ships.

[@nvisible123]

4:09 Y000!

[@TheOneFlyron]

Wait, what? Has TASbot stealthyly reprogrammed the ending text during the run!?

[@christopherstoudt1446]

Damn, what's the world record on this game?

[@christopherstoudt1446]

I can't imagine how you could do this any faster.

[@tommyp4311]

C S tasbot is a bot that plays the game perfectly. its impossible to play at this level consistently

[@NotQuiteFirst]

@@christopherstoudt1446 I think the point of the question was to compare the human record with the TAS

[@unknownplite]

I believe right now it’s sitting at 10:42 by Mitchflowerpower.

[@skweezee]

What are they yelling?

[@codytaylor6941]

They are saying "orb"

[@WasteU2]

Bowser... Wow wrong person to steal from

[@PikalaxALT]

shoutouts to retrogamemechanics

[@alvaraitor1987]

MitchFirePower smashes 19 times per second, closest human to a TAS robot

[@gaganpreetxp]

Mind blowing

[@JamesMiller-re8he]

I WANT TO BUY A TASBOT

[@JSSTyger]

Why was the one guy laughing so hysterically?

[@heltok]

Best part: 7:02

[@janko3051]

Game of the year!!

[@eliasvargas1267]

Mind blown!!!!!

[@cocoyuh_]

who’s tas and why is he so good

[@miketheburns]

quick question: what are they donating toward?

[@miketheburns]

and what does the crowd scream every once in a while? "MORE"? "SCORE"?

[@OperativeLyn]

@@miketheburns they say ORB each time mario gets an orb, its a smw meme

[@Hesojo]

nice

[@ChoiceSnarf]

What did they keep shouting after each boomboom kill?

[@kingofsauce5222]

Bruh this TAS plays almost like a bot
