[TAS] PSX Spyro: Year of the Dragon "117%" by Nitrofski in

[@gnbman]

The skateboarding was unfathomable. Spyro made Hunter look like he was on a mobility scooter. And I don't even know what happened at the end of Crystal Islands.

I can't tell you how many hours I spent on the Panda Rhynoc flame ball minigame, but watching you absolutely obliterate it was a bittersweet moment.

it's a TAS!

[@TheMoonRover]

I like how the moments where the game forces you to play at a certain pace become random fun here. 37:34 Spyro shows off his moves in the ice skating mini-game. 51:36 Hunter bounces the targeting reticle around the edges of the screen. 57:15 Similar thing with Spyro constantly spinning, almost hitting the pandas. 1:04:56 Skateboard showboating, going out of bounds because why not? 1:23:05 Round 1: you can't see what you're shooting at. Round 2: flappy Byrd. Round 3: stunt Byrd. 2:22:40 The camera spins around Hunter. Other highlights include the boss fights, anything with Agent 9, and um... 2:08:00?

[@Reynsoon]

TAS's showing off while there's fuck all to do will never not be my favourite thing.

[@M4XD4B0ZZ]

Agent 9 was crazy

[@WallFlower94]

You should see the commentary he did on this. It's on his KZbin channel, same spelling as the submitted by in the video title.

I always come back and watch this speedrun when I feel like relaxing, the nostalgia I get from this and other old games I used to play is unreal. Also this TAS is flipping amazing.

[@BakaTaco]

Just commenting to remind you to come back and check out the video again.

[@TheFullGamePhantom]

@@BakaTaco Oh thank you will watch it tonight XD

[@Hwd405]

This is absolutely gorgeous. A genuine masterpiece of a TAS.

[@sockmonkey1994]

Wow, even a TAS can't make the sparks sections more exciting

[@lunarwiinds]

1:45:52 This is the most cathartic thing about speedruns, especially tas's. its when a notoriously difficult part of the game just gets absolutely brought to its knees. It's a feeling I can only imagine akin to seeing the execution of someone guilty of murdering one of your loved ones. They say revenge is bittersweet, but the ten year old child in me sleeps easy tonight, knowing that a cause of many nights of frustration got what it deserved.

[@neog8029]

Am I the only one who didn't struggle with this? It really can be as easy as hold right and mash jab. I would purposefully restart the game just to play this mini game again.

Thank you for playing in native resolution. It better shows progress since the game was released on PS1. Native resolution also conveys the spirit of the game of that time. Cool trick with water at 7:50! Did not know.

[@crazycool1128]

the amount of dedication to make this speedrun is insane. imagine missing one gem because you walked that little bit too quickly past where it spawned...

[@zeke7100]

you know a game is good when it takes over 2 hours to complete when it's a speedrun.

This is a great TAS, I'd love to see 100% TAS of the other 2 games.

it's weird how nobody did a tas 100% of the first 2 games yet for spyro 2 it only been any% and thats just a boss rush

After watching ur gameplay at very first map "sunny villa", my conlusion for you is soo PRO 👏thx for making this video, thx for make my childhood game looks so amazing 😆🔥

[@imdrunkmk427]

It's a built tool playing the game not a person

[@Spikechive]

​@@imdrunkmk427 Since this TAS was made in PSXjin, and Nitrofski did stream his progress on how he made this. This was done with some old school TASing where the input was created manually where only the tools of savestates, a decreased speed (sometimes normal speed as well) and the least used frame advanced was used to create this TAS. Not only that but he manually created a spreadsheet and wrote down several routes to find which is fastest before executing some of the times. It also does help that he was one of the top runners of the game at the time.

[@herpderp61]

If the run its self is over 2 hours I can't even imagine how long a tas would take to make.

The skill points add nothing to the completion percentage, so technically yes.

I agree but using a tas to get the skill points would be great fun to watch

[@NONE.Dragon]

@@jruler93 Whatever, it's still something extra added for players to collect/complete.

[@jruler93]

@@NONE.Dragon Hence why I said "technically yes". The Skill Points don't add to the completion percentage, but they're fun little distractions that some people like to go for just because they're there.

Dude, this is a TAS (Tool-Assisted Speedrun), meaning it was played through frame by frame with heavy use and abuse of save states to get the theoretical fastest time possible. Comparing even the best human players to a TAS isn't a fair comparison.
