[@NattyCTR]

Fantastic TAS, great job on seeing the project through! I'm a big fan of tracks like Canyon and Caves where you used the sloped walls and fences to push the kart in a direction with huge SGs. Bouncing around Canyon's double path is so satisfying to watch

[@NyXx_CTR]

Thanks, i like a lot Cave because i bullied a lot AI in this one haha ! And Yep in fact i was trying to extend SG without the need to care too much about reserves, and the walls/fences was a good find. I didnt expect it would work fine.

Truly a pinnacle of CTR speed running. One can only imagine how a 101% TAS would play out.

[@NyXx_CTR]

I Guess i should try 101%

[@Fulgore2005]

Give it a go, I say. After this incredible TAS, 101% will definitely be fun to watch.

[@GalaxianSR]

Zord can rest happy knowing his Labs TAS time prediction would be pretty spot on

[@NyXx_CTR]

His Prdictions was for Time trials, 1'55 was only possible of the huge amount of reserve i got from 3 or 4 red booster item, i doubt you can preshot that

[@GalaxianSR]

@@NyXx_CTR lol yeah ik it was for time trials, but this is good enough, it's still CTR 😎

[@Blockah]

6:01 The way Penta sits there with the mask, not trying to prove anything like they normally do (Him sitting there still instead of racing) is nothing short of bad ass!

[@NyXx_CTR]

lmao yes looks like a bug

[@aliengenie8896]

I think he's still being lowered to the ground by the Aku Aku (slowly). When you complete a race, your kart becomes controlled by the CPU. And for some reason, CPUs get respawned by the mask ridiculously slowly. It becomes really evident when you pay attention to the mini map after a CPU falls off a cliff. A good example of this in action is if you pay attention to Polar on the minimap on this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oamXo6iOd7iEqq8(@5:02:21)

[@hypnotised-clover]

Would you save time in tiger temple by using the "mist" trick (at least hypnoshark calls it that) where you activate a bubble shield item from the first item box and get a TNT in the second item box, allowing you to open the short cut door by firing the bubble shield and keep it open using the TNT? Is it possible you could save small amounts of time by not having to focus on the item boxes for all 3 laps?

Merci

11:10 Just goes through spider somehow without getting hit wow!

[@chunzprocessor]

17:49 These jumping drifts looks fxxkin cool!

[@ab-us9fv]

what is the reason you drive on the edge of the track so often like on Hot Air Skyway, Sewer Speedway first tunnel section, last past of Dingo Canyon etc

[@NyXx_CTR]

It's because downhills give you speed that's what we call "speedghosts". We keep the speed longer with jumps (froggy). An edge is like a very steep downhill in ctr, so it Can trigger powerful speedghosts, called ''corner speedghosts''. Using it is very hard for players, but you Can abuse of speedghosts in TAS.

[@ab-us9fv]

@@NyXx_CTR oh make sense, thanks for the answer

[@Blockah]

5:16 Look at that amazing water!

[@turismo21]

just amazing

[@SmashCrafter321]

Is there a particular reason you chose pal instead of NTSC. (Aside from Penta having max stats everywhere except US, since the Japenese NTSC version has that too)

[@NyXx_CTR]

Yes the frame rate makes some tricks easier and stronger. Speedghosts and especially ''corner/underground speedghosts'' are easier to trigger. Almost all Time trials TAS records was done with PAL. It's not exactly the same for human players, pal tends to be the optimal version only with tools assists

[@GatunixTFM]

yo, nice tas, absolutely stunning! i have a little question about this, maybe its so stupid btw. how can i know if my version is pal or ntsc? i downloaded a spanish one from gamesgx for opl but i dont know if my penta is the max one or just another polar. thx and sorry if bad english! greetings from Argentina

[@shinjitaniguchi9989]

I love this❤️

[@chunzprocessor]

Wow! The full game TAS is finally here! This is what I had been waiting for! Glitchless run when?

[@tappajaav]

How long did it take to piece this monstrosity together? What's the reason behind constant (bunny)hopping over drifting? Does it maintain speed/reserves better if done with inhuman consistency?

[@NyXx_CTR]

It takes lot of session over a month. The hopping tech is called "Froggy" and it's also used by players, it's basically to make the speed decrease slower after your get a huge speed boost from a source ( exemple : downhill gravity ), this speed boost can be granted different ways and we called them " speedghost ". Froggy also can trigger very fast propulsion and bounce on uphills surface. In TAS is use froggy tech more than human players for two reason : first inhuman froggy is stronger thanks to frame perfect inputs, secondly i keep chaining speedghost from everywhere, so my speed is almost always above "normal" values so i have to froggy to maintain the maximum speed i can between two speed boost source

[@tappajaav]

@@NyXx_CTR Huh, that sounds very similar to letting go of accelerator when boosting in F-Zero games. Perhaps the principles are similar

[@chunzprocessor]

10:03 Wow! Super charge!🔥

Thanks to turbo items you have reached sub 1.50 in Cortex Castle thank to SL.

[@GIKAS123]

I've been watching TASes of this game for a while now and I gotta ask... Whats wrong with the in-game prompts in them? (like the loading prompt before a race which only shows a -)

[@NyXx_CTR]

@GIKAS123 I'm a using a glitch called : ''langage glitch'' (only possible in the PAL version of the game). To trigger the Glitch just press triangle at the langage menu selection. By doing so it's like you didn't chose any langages available in the game, community studied this Glitch and they conclude that the game is trying to use an unfinished Japanese langage and kanjis are missing etc in PAL/Europe version. NTSC-J (Jap version) was not even released yet

[@GIKAS123]

@@NyXx_CTR Oh thats very interesting! thanks for explaining it!

[@sttlok]

Strangely enough, the bosses switch heads in adventure mode.

14:37 I got the downhills give you some extra boost but I wonder why you don't use the downhill section normally in lap 2 and lap 3🤔

How are TAS made bro? This isn't play possible by a human is it?

[@NyXx_CTR]

The TAS was made using TASstudio in the emulator ''BizHawk'', you Can search on Google to see more infos. but basically a TAS allows you to chose each inputs will be triggered by the player for each frames of the games.

[@tonipower1972]

amigo una consulta usas algun truco o es sin nada?

[@NyXx_CTR]

Type on google : " Tools assisted speedrun " it's not cheat, the game is not modified, a TAS is like a player we programmed to do specific inputs at each frames with infinite numbers of savestates. So everything done in the video is " theorically " possible to replicate as human but in reality it's way too hard for a player in real time to do all of this optimisation.

[@iPeace247]

Is this for real? No cheating? No mistakes?

[@NyXx_CTR]

It's a tool assisted Speedrun which means i have an Infinite numbers of save states, and i Can chose what inputs are made for each frames. There are no cheats except the fact i Can retry every part frame by frame until it's perfect, and it's theorically possible to do this ! that's the beauty of a TAS (it's like a perfect gameplay). But a human player will NEVER do such things because it's way too hard to do pixel perfects moves every seconds without any mistakes.

Why PAL?

PAL is the best version for TASing CTR. Almost 90% of best time trial TAS are made in PAL
