[TAS] GBA Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories by Doc Skellington in

[@blivveries]

I know it's RNG manipulation, but it's still hilarious to know that Sora jumping around like a maniac is the fastest way to beat the game.

It's so nice hearing KH themes with the GBA sound font.

[@2401blue]

This game's soundtrack is really comfy c:

[@OmegaVideoGameGod]

I agree it makes you think about life in a different aspect and how it really matters :)

[@keyblade9876]

Man, the sprite work for this game was really good

[@megasean3000]

Talk shit about Chain of Memories all you like, but PS2 opening and ending cutscenes on a Gameboy Advance is super impressive!

[@mimiclef]

It's not real time 3D, it's just compressed video. Nothing really impressive, there was already that in the time of the SNES.

[@onthedre]

SitronVert it was impressive for the hardware and had a great scale. Like the kingdom hearts ds games.

[@binkyboy448]

YOU CAN SKIP CUTSCENES?!?!?! All those times I kept losing to Repliku and Larxene over and over and over, and all I had to do to get it over with was to 1.) Immediately go back to the save room between fights, and 2.) Hold down Start.

[@Doc_Skellington]

Well, I didn't know about it either. I learned it while searching info before starting to TAS. And the "fun" fact is that it is written in the instruction booklet (but who reads it? :p)

[@glitchhunter538]

Doc Skellington i do!

[@DreamerFromTheDepths]

@@Doc_Skellington I used to read the instructions but I never had this game on GBA, played it on an Emulator to see how different it is from Re:Chain of Memories. So in that case you don't even have a way of knowing unless you guess it.

[@keisui_music]

i didnt know this either , i pressed literally every button on my ds but could never figure it out , never occurred to me that i had to actually _hold down_ buttons lol

[@arandomgametaser5681]

Considering how I'm still in Traverse Town in this amount of time, this is impressive.

[@nintonintendo1]

A cutscene on the gameboy is extremely impressing

[@leonmystique9372]

Dunno for the gameboy But Gameboy Advance? Definitely a feat

[@flipperjr.3822]

35:14 Why is he just sitting there taking it in the face? Is there something I don't know about this?

[@austins9795]

He was preparing for the Trickmaster fight by bringing himself down to low HP and using the Hades card, which increases attack when your HP is low.

[@flipperjr.3822]

>6 Years later I had completely forgotten about the existence of the Hades card/it's effects Thank you for the reminder kind stranger Or if you died in the time it took for me to read this, I'm sorry.

[@CyberusSuper]

You can constantly keep anything from attacking in thus game, as long as you continue to play high value cards.

[@stevenpavelish6017]

The FMVs on GBA are epic!

[@Trashingcanine]

I think the initial cut scene is literally the entirety of the budget

[@SuperZez]

40:14 The timing of the battle transition was basically flawless.

[@Doc_Skellington]

Oh, sorry : I don't get notifications for this video, so answers can get some time... As weegeechan said, R/R is now done and published ;)

[@VinceMouse]

Apparently Repliku is a plant, because he's weak against Clouds.

[@_ytnahs]

That last shot of sleeping Sora looks gorgeous. He also looks more like in KH2

[@tyson543]

Because it is. It's just moments before Roxas awakes in TT Edit: During KH2

[@iLoveJessiii]

I remember playing this game on the GBA back when it came out with the GBA Kingdom Hearts design. It was so hard for me and I tried to cheese every fight with just cloud cards until I wasn't able to beat the last Bosses and quit on the game haha. Good old days

[@TheNja09]

Noob question, but what are the orange orbs for?

[@TheNja09]

Okay they're called Moogle Points and they're used for buying card decks, cool.

[@alfredroman5801]

To think this game gets re-released on ps2 and with better quality cutscenes.

[@glitchhunter538]

Alfred Roman yea! Its like nobody even thinks that this version even exists

[@Doc_Skellington]

I do remember (and enjoy) the PS2 version... But it's a PS2 game. This console is not yet TASable according to TASVideos rules ;)

[@flipperjr.3822]

The sad part is that they removed the multiplayer battles from the GBA version. :(

[@austins9795]

Flipper Jr. Too bad they just ported it over to PS3 and 4 instead of maybe adding some kind of online PvP

[@redshepherd32]

This was the first kh I ever play and still have my physical gba cartridge. This version is definitely nostalgic for me

[@KnakuanaRka]

I should probably play this again sometime; good Lord, the Cloud summon was broken.

[@parttimelazy4593]

Man, what thrilling boss fights this game sure had. I absolutely do not remember fighting Repliku that many times...

[@Arexion5293]

56:39 What was that about? Can you manipulate rng by performing actions on screen?

[@ghostlyfieldclub2930]

I saw another comment say it was, so I assume it is

amazing, great job doc!

[@WT_Neptune]

Man these Blizzard Raids are satisfying

[@ryuken10]

Yay, another KH TAS! Awesome job.

[@redshepherd32]

I forgot how much damage omni slash did in the original. Not to say the rikuplica doesn't deserve it though XD

[@toothpastecreature]

Why is everything in this game so susceptible to ice like jfc

[@UniGya]

Just being accurate to KH1. Second best spell (gravity being the best), just jump cancel the end lag and you can fire off blizzards just as fast as fire but for more damage and a pretty big AoE

[@reddodeado]

@@UniGya Ah, shotgun Blizzard. What a joy.

[@Arntonach]

Nice boss rush

[@Doc_Skellington]

The red/orange orbs on the exploration field ? If yes, they're Moogle Points. They can be used in Moogle Shops (no kidding :p) to buy new cards (you can choose between Attacks, Magic, Items or a little of everything... Of course, the distribution is random-based). If not, I must say I don't know what you're talking about

[@KimeramonRocks]

I don't remember this game. Did it really come out?

[@Himmelschenk]

@Xeno's Sunset PS2/HD versions are called RE: Chain of Memories for a reason

[@relaxedbatter]

@@dyvyby Coded did originally release outside of the DS. It released on mobile phones in Japan, in chapters. They released from November 2008 to January 2010.

+Marco Godinez oh yeah TAS lol..duh...fuck

[@thomasmurrell9832]

​@marcogodinez4714 technically, Doc still makes the inputs for the game. He's simply going frame by frame by frame to get the most precise timing possible. It's pretty crazy stuff and almost like a digital version of claymation

[@joeywomer]

It's weird how the GBA version of this game has Sora's KHI Voice clips, but in Re: Chain of Memories, it's what they used for KHII.

[@La-hora-del-terror]

@Patrick_Arknaese also the Remake came out in japan in 2007 and in USA came out in 2008 there are 5 and 6 years between

[@leonmystique9372]

I think it's because they were planning to dub the remake but Haley Joel Osmont is too grown to do a young Sora again, so they gave Re:CoM Sora the Re:Coded treatment

[@Nokia_editz]

@doc skellington will you also be doing a tas for the ps2 version of this game? This was amazing btw brings me back to my childhood 😂

[@Doc_Skellington]

Maybe one day ;)

[@susybucket-le6vy]

this seems like a lot of work. idk what program was used to make this but i would love to see how much time it took to make this video

[@JayTohab]

Why do I like the look of this game better than the 3D remake?

[@BenPaz]

Tohab because the sprite work is gorgeous and fits the games gameplay more.

[@La-hora-del-terror]

When i was a kid i only play this one cause in Spain until 1.5 HD the remake was exclusive for Japan and USA, when i play the remake in my cracked ps2 after searching the iso for 5 years i was so hyped, i play the remake so much that i learn all Sora's history dialogues, and in some way i feel the remake more better than the original, but even now i play the original and the remake

[@2401blue]

I *knew* I was onto something spamming Omnislash constantly as a kid!

[@vel2118]

pure 3iv1 It's a tool assisted run. I believe that means your seeing a programmed run. In other words, not a human playing it legit.
