Nothing is truly random in a video game - the "random number generator" in this game is actually doing a bunch of fancy math to make a fixed sequence of random-looking numbers. The "seed" for the random number generator is generally user input or the system clock, so if you make the same inputs at the same time the game will always get the same random numbers.
@UNHchabo8 ай бұрын
@@benjaminlee985 While most TASes shown at GDQ are being played by feeding inputs to the console in real-time, this one was actually just an emulator video (well, a *pair* of videos, due to Save vs Kill) being played back. Unfortunately Super Metroid is very difficult to Console Verify because of desyncs between the CPU and SPC. Dwango made reference to that in this video, he went into more detail at SGDQ2018, where that TAS *was* being played back on a console. They needed to do some weird movement to make sure it would still sync up, which made the Ceres Escape time worse than many human runners are capable of.

@CZeke8 ай бұрын
It's an odd decision, but TASvideos has always been very aggressive about "quality over quantity"; they don't want too many runs for any one game and have no problem removing a category if they think other runs for the same game are more entertaining. RBO will probably return eventually when someone finds a way to do it that's different enough. Anyway, "obsolete" runs don't go anywhere -- they're still hosted on the site. (If I had to guess, the reason for this philosophy is that TASing was incredibly controversial in the early days. Speedrunners felt, with some justice, that these impossibly fast runs would steal their audience. The TASers had to prove their work could be entertaining for its own unique reasons instead, and so there was good reason to have only the best examples on TASvideos.)

@eudaimonistic8 ай бұрын
Tool Assisted Speedruns (TAS) are recorded using emulators to control the game frame by frame with perfect precision. This allows the TAS author to break the game doing things that a physical controller and actual humans cannot. Ordinarily, you would playback the TAS on a compatible emulator to watch the game play out. Physical verification is the process of performing the run playback on a physical device, 'proving' that the TAS is valid. TASBot is a physical device that plays back the controller inputs in real time, serving as both a physical verification and a really cool looking piece of tech. You could accomplish the same thing with a relatively low-tech PCB and the know-how, but it wouldn't look nearly as cool in a live setting. There has also been a ton of work to improve the accuracy and performance of the device over the years. So yes, TAS is pre-recorded. The physical ROB the robot model is just a cool looking model casing for the PCB that plays back exact controller inputs.
