Another fantastic TAS from GaRan, well done sir ! 🤩 I've followed you recently, and saw several of your runs. All very entertaining. I discover some ROM Hacks too and I'll definitely try several pretty soon! 🙏 I imagine you've heard of the Super Junkoid ROM Hack ? This one need a 100% TAS, probably one of the most fascinating ROM Hack of Super Metroid I've ever seen. It will need works to achieve it, but I think IMHO it's worth the work.

[@garan1988]

Junkoid…analyzing…done…routing…work in process…

[@Sapphronxd]

This is one of the most fantastic TASes/demonstrations of this game I have ever seen. You did an incredible job with this.

[@thenumberquelve158]

Tourian is literally half of the video. I don't think I've ever seen a Super Metroid TAS like it. ^^' The skips were amazing, too bad they resulted in Tourian being even more tedious than normal xD Still a fun watch. The amount of work it takes to complete the puzzle is pretty amazing. (That's how you know a lot of work was done to MAKE it in the first place.)

[@foosda]

the little quickmorph scooting around everywhere really makes me laugh, thank you!

[@andrewguerrero3290]

Im glad i watched this before playing. I would have given up. That Tourian is f***ed up, yo.

16:00 Beautiful-number-of-IQ move there

[@ASDAFL]

You did it GaRan, you actually did it, thank you so much! I've been smiling ear to ear watching this masterpiece so far. It's good to finally see a TAS of this challenge out there in the wild now! Edit: Finished watching it, Tourian was as crazy as I expected it to be, those damage boosts during the escape were amazing. Looking forward to your next TAS release! Question I have for Drew is how much of this is intended playthrough or did GaRan manage to break the challenge? There's not much reference material out there to work out what is expected in a challenge playthrough.

[@garan1988]

Thank for your support :) I have a major sequence breaking in this run, it is Grapple skipped, which is a must in normal playthrough! Therefore, I didn’t have to go to Lower Norfair for Grapple beam, skipped the fight with Ridley, GT, Phantoon, skipped long dive in Maridia :)

[@Drewseph0011]

Epbc was heavily scripted with barricades appearing to block player access at certain times. Garan mentioned the big sequence break, which is only able to be done in tas. The other break he did not mention was when heading for speed booster he bypassed a blockade by swimming in lava and freezing an enemy. My intended route is for the player to return to brinstar and break the glass tube near spore spawn to return to norfair.

[@Yui-Chan9124]

Ah, this TAS came at the right time to relax!

19:50 whoa you can speedkeep to build a shinespark like that in axeil!?

[@Drewseph0011]

It was a bug leftover when I was writing my momentum code. I liked the idea of being able to turn around quickly, so I decided to leave it in. seems like there are really amazing uses for it after all! My favorite is Zig-Zagging through shafts and not having to slow down all the time!

[@ClaireDiVODer]

Is Totaka's Song something that only happens when accessing Tourian in that obscure manner?

[@ClaireDiVODer]

Another masterful TAS. Is TASing the original Redesign on your to-do list, by chance?

[@garan1988]

I’d like to, but any% or 100%?

[@ClaireDiVODer]

@@garan1988 Either or, really. Still holding out hope for Escape II 106% TAS someday. lol

[@TheRenegade503]

Simply... Amazing friend.

[@someonespecial1329]

Is this slower than regular any%? Also, why did you stop for a moment at 39:59 ? Beautiful TAS nonetheless.

[@Drewseph0011]

Probably item drop manipulation.

[@garan1988]

In regular any%, you have to active all 12 Chozo statue, and have to kill Ridley, which is slower I think 😀 The pause at 39:59 is Super Missile cool down time (45 frames)

[@Tundain]

Hey, I remember you playing my hack, CRE 2. Would you be interested in playing CRE 3 as well? I'm sure that would be interesting

[@TheBanishedWind]

Just curious, will there be another Any% TAS of Redesign Axeil without EPB?

[@garan1988]

I think there’ll be not, EPB is the fastest any% because it ain’t required to active all the guardian, fight bosses, and no need to kill Metroids in some Tourian’s rooms :)

[@SirMisterMr]

Since how damage Ridley takes in the intro affects his health in his bossfight, is there any reason you didn't shoot at him more during your invicibility frames?

[@garan1988]

because I don’t have to fight him in this run :)

[@uriahedwards]

Not a big fan of the movement system in this hack, but it certainly makes for an entertaining TAS!

[@TheBanishedWind]

Yeah, hella ironic since Drew made this, and the OG Redesign, because he hates speedrunning. All the classic SM tricks are patched out or punished.

[@hibachu]

nice run!

[@SirMisterMr]

The two tripwires you jump through at 3:35, aren't they supposed to be working ones? Or do you somehow pass through their dead zones?

[@garan1988]

the wires in the room are not active yet until coming back!

[@CaptRiskyBoots]

So obtaining power bombs early makes a lot of items inaccessible? How is that fair?

[@garan1988]

to make the challenge more difficulty (but not so hard for a TAS)😁

[@Drewseph0011]

It is an optional challenge to get the specific early powerbomb shown in the run. it triggers a whole diff path to complete the game, and he managed to skip half the game using TAS and underwater spark jumps. either way, very cool.

[@SirMisterMr]

@Drewseph0011 Loading bug at 19:07; not sure if it can pop up in normal gameplay.

[@saadikivideos394]

Fan fantastic

Cheater

[@TheBanishedWind]

TAS is a legit category. Do your research before you come back.

[@TheRealBDawgBou]

This is not a speed run.

[@roguefullmetal2669]

It's a category all it's own in speed runs so it does indeed count as a speed run.
