[TAS] SNES EarthBound by illayaya in

[@LeonMire]

35:45 There's something extra epic about Paula praying from the bottom of her heart when she's in tears, all her friends are out, and she's down to her last hit point.

[@henriquerickdias]

yessss

[@speedymatt1236]

The tiniest glint of hope! Always grasp onto it!

[@WannabeMarysue]

Intro ends at 7:53 It is an impressively clean intro though, so give it a watch unless you're absolutely sick of it.

[@kirbygriffin6150]

The amount of times I've played through the intro, I'm so annoyed of it now

[@archagenteverlasting1239]

Your pfp is based

[@Flamsterette]

Thank you.

[@Bandicoot720]

As cool of an item the Gutsy Bat is being the final best equipment for Ness, as a weapon in casual gameplay and real-time speedruns, it's never truly important for how late in the game it's obtainable (the Legendary Bat being in a present right next to it doesnt help its case either), but the fact that it was actually made incredibly useful in specifically only TAS's where the user cannot obtain a sudden guts pill and must rely on its built-in guts stat is truly amazing.

I love how the credits show only one picture. The photographer has had it rough.

[@knox1392]

"A's Nightmare emitted a glorious light!" "A's Nightmare stopped moving!" W h a t w a s t h a t w h a t

[@stEv3900]

he used a flash and because of paula's prayer he gets confused and uses it on himself

[@nithity]

PSI flash at its finest

[@gabrielwoj]

9:37 - It's called the Skip sandwich for a reason.

[@2-dsynctium773]

17:52 Paula: "wtf- WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE? WHERE AM I?!" 😨

[@L20412]

Paula: "Wait, ARE YOU NESS? And who's the other guy?"

[@L20412]

wait I mean: "I am sure this is just a dream"

[@alexlc5761]

Real LMAO

[@grab_igor]

[@SemiHypercube]

The best part still has to be how Ness's Nightmare just. . . _dies_ because it felt strange and hit itself with PSI Flash's instakill effect

[@Antics253]

"Mom, I'm gonna go save the world." "Ok dear, just be home in time for dinner." "....That won't be a problem."

[@redshell9205]

ALERT! A’s condition is critical. He will collapse if h- *walks in the walk and teleports to summers acting like nothing strange just happened

[@ーAnaー]

lol

Not even a little over 5 years of development can stop an RPG from being broken!

[@Bartholamue]

Hi, I'm A, and this is my friend A. I'd like you to meet someone. This is A and A.

[@hoosierflatty6435]

In my life, there's always been a good mix of name variety in my groups of friends, with very few repeats. Kinda makes me wonder if any group ended up being like 5 guys named Chuck or something like that. I'm sure there's stories out on the internet somewhere...

[@TheDarkYoshi64]

Would you like a plate of delicious A, A?

[@mrlemonlame]

@@hoosierflatty6435 reminds me of this en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birthday_problem

[@binarymystic]

@@mrlemonlame Kinda, but not really. There are only 365 (excluding leap year) dates that can be your birthday, but names are essentially infinite, though somewhat limited in practice.

[@mrlemonlame]

@@binarymystic yeah, that's true. The closest I could think of is something like " Hi John, I'm John and this is John". There are definitely cases where no one else will have your name.

[@thehoodedteddy1335]

So I’m used to seeing clipping through walls and sequence breaking, but at 19:01 I lost all idea of what was going on

[@onyxdomainDOTcom]

There's a glitch in the game where if you get heatstroke while going up or down stairs, you can then walk through walls.

[@tangy3003]

to add on to that, every single room in earthbound is connected together in one giant map. even if nothing appears because the correct room's tileset isn't loaded in, it's still there. using the sound stone puts everything back to normal

[@ProjectDevilEye]

My mind is fucking blown, how people figure out how to break games this badly is beyond me and I love it.

[@enkerzan3755]

Never fails, there always seems to be some game breaking warp glitch in every RPG. lol

[@AwesomeHairo]

Nope. Skies of Arcadia and Final fantasy VIII and IX need one

[@enkerzan3755]

Give it time, someone will find one for those eventually.

[@seronymus]

@@AwesomeHairo I thought those had one already?

[@XanthinZarda]

42:00 to 43:17 Standard flashing lights and static warning.

[@chad_bro_chill]

Frankly, I'm surprised Google hasn't implemented something for that. It'd be one change that could easily be handled by AI and would actually improve KZbin.

[@professorfukyu744]

@@chad_bro_chill they don't wanna improve your experience. They just wanna censor and make ad money.

[@randomguyontheinternet7940]

@@chad_bro_chill It doesn't have to be something handled by AI. It could just be an optional video filter to apply. The Virtual Console and Mini systems did something like this (With the lack of being able to turn it off.)

The iconic group of characters

[@shiteeshoodeeos800]

Hello, A! How you doing? I’m fine, A, how are you? Pretty good, A! Let’s see how our pet, A is doing. WOOF! (I’m okay, A, A and A!) Ooh, let’s see if mother prepared A for us! It’s delicious! “Eat up, boys!” Thank you, mother! “That’s OK, A, A and A!” Ooh, let’s do A! It’s awesome! Let’s go, A! Ooh, A, what if we meet our friend, A in the Park? “Wassup, A, A and A?” The Sky! HAHAHAHAAAAAAA

[@Allafif]

Your photo album is a bit lacking, A, but I'll let it slide for saving the world in under an hour.

[@supreme-ss777]

11:23 Whoa. I was wondering...maybe the game makes it so you can't progress unless the variable that checks if you have Paula or not is on.

[@gibsano8446]

Nobody: Nightmare: "Suicide is badass!"

[@donaldkay5537]

8:49 how? For me it's just completely blocked

[@pikksen7905]

simple answer, it's done by making too many objects appear on screen at once so the barrier loads in wrong

[@0megazeero]

Mfw it's only 57:32 because of the post credit scene

"Favorite thing" Should of been E

idk what, but there's just something about watching SNES TAS speedruns at 2x speed

was it less optimal to not do the RTA strat of dying right after getting buzz buzz?

Special thanks to P L A Y E R

[@DABiDo.O]

How was he able to skip Starman in onette without dying first ?

[@CheekyGuy-q4i]

21:40 fine that this isn't the japanese version, It would be more Strange.

25:09 JEFF GETS PP???????

[@DarkShamilKhan]

Ah yes I know my favorite character. *A*

[@randomguyontheinternet7940]

I personally thought A was a bit more developed but I can respectfully disagree

[@PROPLAYEN]

A was better

[@supertails0246]

Why are enemies not spawning most of the time

[@enoljosejordan]

Because RNG dictates if and who of they appear on not.

[@L20412]

I never knew Paula was not Ness's girlfriend cuz ness's mother addressed her like that 😅

[@wolfpackflt670]

I think Nintendo should remaster this game. It would sell.
