[TAS] NES Tennis by eien86 in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2022-10-27
Tennis Is just as the name implies, Tennis. The game where one whacks a ball back and forth over a net to their opponent who has to make sure it doesn't double bounce on the ground (as long as the first bounce hits the play zone).
In this TAS, eien86 ( tasvideos.org/... ) absolutely embarrasses their opponent by making them miss ever single serve back at them in record time.

Hey all, TAS author here. I'm so far shocked by the good reactions in the comments, given this is a somewhat repetitive movie. Glad you liked it. I'll be happy to answer any questions about it

[@nathanlawrence2484]

Is the jitters a game grumps reference? Probably not but I wanted to ask

[@Aoki85]

Why do a few of the return shots appear to go out, but still get counted as "IN?"

[@eien86]

@@Aoki85 because of the way the game is programmed, it interprets "IN" to mean "you've scored", rather than the ball actually falling inside the court. Most of the times, these meanings are interchangable, but not in this specific case.
These shots that appear to go out, trigger the CPU to try to return them back nevertheless. However, the return itself is faulty so when the CPU hits the ball (or rather the ball hits the CPU), it stays in its side of the court. The game still counts this as my "turn" because the ball hasn't passed the net back to me, so although it's the CPU making a fault, it is still my point and the game just prints IN

[@avalonjustin]

How much did you bribe Mario to call those shots "In"?

[@Hércules-h5w]

Hello, could you do a TAS with the game Tennis as a double? ( Google translator)

[@OtterSou]

i feel like this is the first time i saw the gameplay of nes tennis other than using it to access 256 worlds in super mario bros

[@PolishMuscle1981]

I remember playing this game when I was 6. I was always scared to play against the Level 5 guy! Watching this brings back memories (good and losing lol).

[@FamilyTeamGaming]

I too want to have a serve that fast that also somehow comes up short of the baseline every time.

[@JasonPullara]

Player: METH IS FRICKIN AMAZING!
Computer: I do not understand how to play.

[@csolisr]

That's a lot of RNG manipulation

[@eien86]

Si, todos los puntos fueron manipulados jeje

[@ericdanielski4802]

This isn't tennis anymore, it's straight up bully
Back then me and my friend would play this game with both of us on the net and keep pressing A (low ball) .. We smash every ball the computer return. So much fun
