[TAS] SNES Mega Man X "100%" by Hetfield90 in

It was kinda impressive

[@andish9227]

Can you do better?

[@vGalaxium]

and If I use TAS maybe if there's room for improvement and I put my mind to it lol

[@OctaHeart]

Jultix Nope. Unless if there is an improvement found in the stage, then it is physically impossible to improve that stage. The game has reached an endpoint of improvements until someone finds another improvement

[@mikesantiago14]

@@OctaHeart not rly, there's quite a bit of room for improvement

[@ultrakev9]

He crossed almost the entire stage by jumping on the side of a boomerang captured platform. I seriously learn something new every time I see another speedrun or TAS run.

[@mikesantiago14]

that's the magic carpet, a phantom grab. you need to collect one drop with the boomerang 1 frame (0.0167 second) before another item spawns on screen, so when the item loads into the game's memory it won't spawn in the right place, but inside your boomerang. not every item though, there's 1 specific class of items that can get phantom grabbed. thats how the eagle magic carpet works. That specific class of items is usually called "Misc Items"

I never used Boomerang Cutter on the optional boss in Sting Chamelion's stage because I thought it wouldn't leave me with enough for Chameleon himself. It never occurred to me that an enemy could drop weapon energy to refill it.

[@mivu3996]

In a regular Speedrun, you kill that optional boss with 18 boomerangs and five dash lemons. That leaves you with enough ammo to kill Chameleon with the rest of your boomerangs + one dash lemon.

What was the point of dying at 18:18?

[@philswaim392]

My guess would be to help with the haduken later? I also noted they didnt grab the heart tank on the way that time. Maybe was worried more about saving time beating armored armadillo and knew they could cone back later for the tank duribg haduken?

[@mikesantiago14]

you need to see a specific spot 5 times to obtain the hadouken, the deaths speed up the process

[@ThatsGobbles]

Curious as to the reason for intentionally dying on the final platform jump on Armored Armadillo? I tried looking for notes as to why it was done, but to no avail

[@physisz077]

Mark LeMoine Ight so the first time was to retrieve that heart tank and the other times was bcuz in order to get hadouken, u needed to be at full health

[@TheUltimateRare]

i find it funny they coded the big eye boss final moving part, with the walls enclosed, to be weak to the 100% upgrade. Like why? is it just cause every boss is weak to it? or did they just happen to code that in for the lols? it's kinda weird that the final boss is immune to it, but not something that you can't use it on normally. oversight maybe?

It can if the enemy is able to make it down to a part of the wall the hadoken can reach. The only truly unkillable enemy is the very final enemy you face, because armor.

[@mesotolioma5089]

[@MLandriganReid]

So was that always there and by that i mean the power to become Ryu/Ken? In fact is any of that even remotely possible

[@thomasmurrell9832]

Yep. When you obtain 100% of every upgrade and enemy weapon type, if you can pull off a chain of riding the last Minecart out and leap off to die at least twice, the secret pod will be there, exactly as shown in the TAS. If you punch in any passcodes, the upgrade is completely inaccessible, making it a good incentive to play from the start. Edit: why the fuck did minecart get changed to Minecraft? Anyway, fixed it

[@mikesantiago14]

you need to see that spot where the capsule appears a total of 5 times, and in the last one you need all items and full life. ez like that. i'm p sure you can get it even if you use passwords. to execute the hado just slide your finger from down to forward and shoot

[@Brakzias]

@@thomasmurrell9832 You can use passwords, you just need to go back to the stage and recollect the upgrade.

[@hmvd22]

What’s going on?

[@mikesantiago14]

its a tool assisted speedrun, which means he's using various emulator tools (save states, frame advancing, etc) to create a near perfect run of this game

[@grow420zombie6]

Title says 33.07 but my timer says 32.57 just a heads up

[@AndrewBlechinger]

TAS times from power on till end of input, which differs from how RTA runs are timed, which is gain control of character to last hit on final boss. The reason TAS does this is that the TAS itself is merely a series of timestamped button presses, and they time based on the length of the input sequence. When applied to a specific game and played back at normal speed, it gives the impression of superhuman skill and execution.

[@Wryyyong]

*Q: "What is a TAS?"* *A:* TAS stands for Tool-Assisted Speedrun (or Superplay), which is self-explanatory: TASes are speedruns (or superplays) that are made with the assistance of various tools. A more technical term for a TAS is an _input file,_ as a TAS is a pre-programmed series of inputs that is intended to be played back in the exact same way every time. In that regard, they are similar to piano rolls for player pianos, except with controller inputs instead of piano notes, and a video game instead of a piano. *Q: "Why do we do this?"* *A:* Because it's awesome. We love TASing not only as a medium for entertainment, but as a curiosity for seeing how far video games can be pushed. We love TASing as a way of both preserving gaming history by endorsing and advancing emulation, while also innovating the way games are played by putting them into fields entirely unintended by developers. We love TASing as an outlet for creativity, both in problem solving on levels that may not even be seen by the human eye and in personal expression and freedom just through controller input. *Q: "Is TASing cheating?"* *A:* A TAS is only cheating if it is intentionally being misrepresented as an RTA speedrun. Our community and the RTA speedrunning community closely work together and share knowledge, but our competitive ecosystems remain completely separate: TASes must only ever compete with other TASes. We do not, and will never, support anyone who attempts to gain an advantage in the RTA community by using a TAS. === Additionally, Calebhart primarily focuses on RTA speedruns, so it makes sense that he wouldn't cover TASes.
