Super Mario Bros. TAS vs. RTA former World Record (

Update with new WR (4:55.913): • Super Mario Bros. TAS ...
Comparison video of the current world records of SMB.
TAS (Tool-Assisted Speedrun, human playing with emulator assistance, not in real time) WR: • NES Super Mario Bros. ...
RTA (Real Time Attack, human playing in real-time) WR: • (4:56.878) Super Mario...
The timing difference makes RTA record seem shorter than TAS record, but still, it's close enough.
TAS saves time in 1-2, 4-2, 8-1, 8-2, 8-3, and 8-4, using faster acceleration, going through the wall, flagpole glitch, etc.
TAS is NOT programming.
None of the two runs uses "cheats" of any kind. If you have questions, watch darbian's tutorial: • [Tutorial] Super Mario...

[@ultibolt3286]

and now they go through the walls (search somewes WR speedrun)

[@Lierofox]

When you jump at a wall, Mario's position updates every frame based on his momentum until he reaches the wall, (I don't know the actual numbers but for example's sake) say he's moving 4 pixels forward every frame, if he's 1 pixel away from the wall, on the next frame he'll move forward and end up 3 pixels inside the wall, and then the game will detect he's in the wall and on the next frame after that, it will try to eject him. The game has 'floor detection' every 16 pixels vertically (which is why there aren't any slopes and every block is the same size) so if the player jumps into the wall at a 16 pixel boundary, clips into the wall, and IMMEDIATELY jumps on that same frame before the wall ejection happens, the game will consider Mario to be standing on the very edge of a 'floor' but that's more than enough to jump off of, so you can do a frame-perfect jump off the wall. If you play the game enough you can actually experience this by running and jumping at a wall over and over again, most of the time Mario will just hit the wall and slide down it smoothly because he impacted the wall in such a way that he didn't clip inside it, or, he didn't clip inside it at a 16 pixel interval, so the game ejected him without him touching a floor. BUT, occasionally you'll see him hit the wall, catch against it briefly, and THEN fall, that's when a wall clip happened, the brief catch on the wall was when a wall jump is possible. tasvideos.org/GameResources/NES/SuperMarioBros.html#Walljump

Frame advance and savestates. Frame advance lets you play the game frame-by-frame (really, REALLY slowly) which allows you to do all kinds of crazy shit that you see in every TAS. Savestates allow you to save the game's current state anytime, and also allow you to return to that state anytime. This means that every time you fail to do something, you can always retry without having to restart the entire run

[@tubey84]

For those wondering, the time difference is because of the way the end of levels transition - they act as "buses" that "depart from the station" at set times. So although Darbian is often a bit slower, they "catch the same bus" to the next level. To all extents and purposes, Darbian's run is 'perfect' under the current strats. It is ridiculous accuracy and consistency.

[@jayure1346]

“Current strats” best way for a comment to age well

This was interesting to see because it shows how the frame rule comes in to play. Darbian lost time on every level, but due to the frame rule he was "tied". Very interesting.

The TAS is actually gaining a little time each level, but the videos are re-synched at the beginning of each level.

[@jimmychan.]

No, it's re-synched by the game itself. The game only allows a gameplay length of each level to be a multiple of 21 frames. You can search "21 frame rule" for more information.

[@heatherw7656]

So, correct me if I'm wrong, but the only way that anybody can get a better time than Darbian is to either activate glitches in 1-2 and 4-2 (which might not be humanly possible) or to have a quite literally perfect run in 8-4? That record is his forever, isn't it?

[@HappyLeeHL]

Darbian has already done most of the things that are humanly possible. Some tricks are just too hard.

[@darkness74185]

the 1-2 and 4-2 clip are sub-frame perfect if I recall,the additional flagpole glitch at 8-1 and 8-3 are not humanly impossible to set up efficiently,and you need to have lightning fast reflexes to improve 8-4,so the record is gonna be darbs for at least a few years

[@Beyondthe5thPanel]

Happy Lee if anyone was to break the record, it would be Darbian. Though seeing these, I just might take a crack at the record and see if I can replicate any of this

[@eragon78]

+Heather W It is only a matter of time before someone decides to finally attempt to grind out a run closer to what the TAS looks like using the wall skip glitches. Even if the accuracy of such a trick is incredibly low, It will be done eventually after enough people attempt it. [Or some set up is discovered for it to make it more reliable]

[@VoidX17]

Heather W actually someone is gonna beat his score in ten years or so because, did you know that our seconds are actually going slower per year? This is because you know how when you spin, when you put your arms out it slows you down. But putting them on your chest makes you spin faster. Its like that for earth. Our buildings we made actually slow down the earth! So the more building we make on ground, the slower earth spins, and the slower time is. so actually, world records we have today probably aren't the REAL world records. It really could've been a record that was set 50 years ago.

[@farkar78]

Does he lose some time at 4:07? It looks like the block stops his horizontal momentum but idk if that's avoidable w/o TAS. Sorry I'm new

[@Senen33]

No he doesn't. There's a thing in SMB1 called the frame rule. Basically, the game checks if you've finished a level every 21 frames. So let's say it checks on frame xxxxxx01 and frame xxxxxx22, if you actually finish the level on frame xxxxxx08 you'll still have to wait for frame xxxxxx22 before it goes to the next level. That's why you only see time increments of 0.35s in this video (or multiples of that), except for the 8-4 level where frame rule doesn't apply. At 4:07 Darbian does that bonk on purpose for whatever reason (not sure why exactly, but he does it in every single run) but avoiding that bonk wouldn't save a frame rule anyway. You can see that the TAS does save a frame rule in this level, but TAS uses additional strats like the way it gains speed at the beginning of each level by jumping backward (which is doable to some extent by humans, but not as perfectly as the TAS does it). To my knowledge no human being has ever managed to save that framerule yet, so it's not likely to see this improvement included in runs anytime soon.

[@Senen33]

Oh, I was curious and searched for Darbian's old pastebin which has additional info about that bump in 8-3: "**Q: Wait, he totally messed up in 8-3! He bumped into a block before hitting the flagpole! I could've done that better!** A: Unless you're a TAS-bot, no, you couldn't've. Darbian has to stop there so that he doesn't land on the flag while the timer has a 3 at the end of it, which would've triggered 3 fireworks and lost him considerable time. If you are a TAS-bot, though, you can finish the level with 244 instead of 242 through some much harder fast acceleration strats." pastebin.com/Gyg1XA6U

[@farkar78]

thanks man that explains a lot!

[@dracibatic2433]

So thats why the tas bot couldnt do the flag trick in 8-3. Thank you

[@aggebojkalos6518]

It still can, but it would result in 3 fireworks.

[@Gunn3r91697]

On the TAS run what is the difference between it's time and the RTA time in parentheses?

[@sweetmamaschili4051]

Note that after each level they edited the TAS video to pause until the exact moment where Darbian started the level. Yes it was close, but unlike the video, it was 2 seconds apart rather than the couple frames we saw in the video.

[@Starhawke_Gaming]

It looks like that TAS needs some tweaking to incorporate some of the RTA strats to shave off a little more time here and there. It was recorded in 2011, have there been any improvements made since? With a game this popular I would assume there have been progressions in the past 5+ years.

[@animefan7424]

A Hedtke nope this tas time still wr

[@Starhawke_Gaming]

Rsps Vids - then like I said, I saw probably a dozen places where what was done in this RTA run was slightly more efficient and might be used to shave off at least a few more hundreds, or even perhaps tens of seconds altogether.

[@CScottyW]

A Hedtke such as? You must be more familiar with the game than me, because I found none.

[@Starhawke_Gaming]

CScottyW - There were several points in the runs were the TAS was ahead by a second or more, and somehow in the RTA he manages to close that gap. It is the strategies in those particular scenarios that might prove to have some improvements in the TAS. Not talking about entire stage splits here, but 5 to 10 second blocks of play where the RTA manages to outperform the TAS.

[@HappyLeeHL]

No, there were none.

[@runforitman]

Ahh did you pause the TAS at the level transitions so they would sync better?

[@HappyLeeHL]

Yes, some of them, that's where the time difference comes from.

[@yousef858]

Happy Lee you know this kinda ruined the purpose of the video right?

The above-ground section in 4-2 is musically beautiful. Absolutely no dissonant tones whatsoever.

[@MegoZ_]

TAS is a tool. Not a hooman

[@xxEzraBxxx]

XLR8 -_- It takes a lot of skill and time to get beat Mario in that time. TAS though is just going into a emulator and telling it to push which button and which frame to do stuff that you can't really do as a human. Humans have to spend countless hours make tas movies, so both is a talented person. Effort was put in both a TAS run and RTA run.

It's almost 3d in card box. :) Great idea with stereo sound for both streams.

I watched this while eating a turkey sandwich. The precise moment that the crust of the bread touched my lips was on the first input. And the swallow of the last bite was on TIME. It was delicious by the way. Butter fried, deli cut and dipped in tomato soup.
