[TAS] VVVVVV No Death Mode with all trinkets

[@menthols4625]

@16:56 I love how in No Death Mode the dev changes the room name "prize for the reckless" to "i can't believe you got this far" and just gives the player the trinket instead of making them solve the puzzle.

[@Shrekify-wo3tk]

Time race mode changes the name to "imagine spikes there if you like" so the room has 3 different names

Not like they could, you have to die to solve it normally

16:54 Ah, so now I see that in "no death mode" this screen is different. It doesn't have the spikes at the top so you don't have to actually die to pick up that trinket, and the name of the screen is, fittingly, "I Can't Believe You Got This Far" :), instead of "Prize for the Reckless".

what's interesting about watching a TAS of this game is that it still uses the exact same strategies as a regular speedrun. i.e. this game really is purely based on skill. (most of the pixel-perfect flips here are doable by a real person)

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

This wasn't _the_ TAS, this was just _a_ TAS. As in, I think this guy just said "I like this game and I like using TAS tools so I'm going to make a TAS of it just for fun." Either that, or no actual optimal TAS existed yet by this point. There certainly is one now, although I don't know if anyone did this mode just because it's less interesting (no death exploits).

Also, there are lots of places where you could hug the left or right wall when entering a room to save a couple frames.

More suggestions, in case you or anyone else wants to squeeze out every last frame possible: 02:35 - Why not flip a couple frames earlier and try to make it into the alley diagonally? 03:43 - You can just walk into the first inverter instead of flipping twice. 06:52 - Drop straight down at the end, don't flip twice. 07:07 - The flipping onto the next platform trick from 00:42 works here too. It's even easier here.

[@CtrlaltdeliciousHD]

no offense to yukabacera, but why do people still watch this and find it impressive? i understand it's a big video with above average traffic, and most of the audience don't speedrun this game, but for a TAS the execution is terrible. it's more of a tool assisted walkthrough. even for 2011 standards, where particular strats and routes were still undiscovered, this run hits walls and waits around for things despite being run on hourglass with access to savestates. again no disrespect meant to the creator, nor the viewers but there are far more impressive speedruns of this game available if you search for them

The way most emulators work is by creating a memory dump, when a save state is created. On-top the keeps track of witch frame it is on, and if the is any input on said frame. So lets say at (frame 19307) you (press 'b' to jump), it keeps track of the information when 'recording'. So if you say got your self into a bad situation at 19307 and you loaded a previous save at 19050 and information about anything happens at 19307 lost.
