ehh that segment was done pretty fast and I kept optimizing it for another solid 30 minutes lol (thanks)

@@MGRoadkill jesus bro whats the longest you have taken on like 1 segment

The main room of Penguin 5-4 (Any% tas), by far. It took 3 weeks of work at over 2 hours a day on average (6 individual runthroughs, only the last two of which beat prop), plus an additional two 6-hour days of revision right before the TAS released. That month was when squashh and I really got to know each other very well lol (we were in vc for almost all of it)

I use what you see in that video (frame-advance, savestates, tas-input, lua scripting, and the hitbox visualizer) as well as different tools such as Reggie (level editor/viewer) and Dolphin Memory Engine (to hack mario's position or speed or powerup or whatever to test things easier)

lol

That depends on the game. Celeste has some of the best and easiest to use TAS tools out there, hence why so many people have helped TAS it. Switch games have very primitive TASing tools at the moment, due to not having any savestates; they just play back the entire input script from a sync point (like level select) in order to make changes. NSMBW is somewhere in the middle. We use Dolphin Lua core to TAS, which allows you to play the game in slow motion, frame advance, use 10 savestate slots, watch any memory value (like Mario's speed and position), and write lua scripts to help make the TASing process easier. However, Dolphin has one major drawback that affects all Wii games: you cannot use a 'TAStudio,' which is an easy way to visualize or edit all inputs going on around the point you are playing back. That system would allow you to view the whole file as an input script and modify it to TAS, instead of manually holding buttons as you frame advance or using TAS-input (a window where you can select what buttons to press and fine-tune motion input). As for the TASing process itself, it's largely just a lot of just trying as many routes and movement options as you can think of, then seeing which one ends up being fastest. And tons of trying random things that might break the game (glitches or new movement tech) to save time. It took me a long time to get enough experience to reliably make my TASes close to optimal. No individual point was extraordinarily difficult to learn, but it definitely gets easier to know what to do as you gain more experience.

@@MGRoadkill damn ok thanks

Noone has done this method of switch skip, but thanks to a slightly easier method I found a whilr after this, BigCheese has gotten it multiple times by hand.

4-3 comes later in the route (part 7 or 8) because it requires mini and we're doing it right before 2-2 since that saves 15 seconds or more.

Not the same person. You’re thinking of Adeal, you can find them at youtube.com/@adealtas but I can say with 100% certainty Adeal and Pannen are not going to collab, at least not for NSMBW.

@@Sqidzies hmm tru

I just made it up when I was like 10 years old. Not much of a backstory, really

For whatever reason the nuts have insane coyote time

Thanks!

true

Most wii games run at 60fps, and you can record that if you have a good capture card. TASes are made on emulator though, which has implemented 60fps recording.

You can't hit hidden blocks while falling downwards, so I crouched underneath, bonked on the ceiling just left of the hidden blocks, then shot ice to uncrouch and give me just enough height to walljump on the left wall without activating the hidden blocks. Pretty funny clip lol

Wassup

😂😂😂

: Edit: how dare he MD make the withers angry 🏁🔕🔕

Edit 2: I worked that wrong I meant to say how dare he hit the wigglers:(
