[TAS] SNES Chrono Trigger by arandomgameTASer & keylie in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2023-04-23
Epilepsy/Seizure Warning: The loading screen to Lavos at 2:13:27 through 2:13:41 contains a mild strobe effect, and 2:16:40 through 2:16:54 contains flashing lights after the defeat of Lavos.
Chrono Trigger is one of the most dearly loved games from the SNES library. In it, you play as Crono and set off on a journey through time to save the world from the villainous Lavos.
The game can be ripped apart in a matter of minutes through advanced save corruption techniques ( tasvideos.org/... ), but in this movie the author forgoes this exploit in order to play through more of the game. Don't expect this run-through to follow a coherent narrative any time soon, though - it still skips quite a lot of content.
Additionally, this run improves the previous run ( tasvideos.org/... ) of this category by 01:00.47 through various minor optimizations found over the years and a new setup for the elixer glitch used on the final bosses.
--------
The RUclips and downloadable encodes have the author's commentary as soft subtitles.

Fastest TAS to date and Crono still can't beat his cat to the stairs.

[@SirJoelsuf1]

He petted it on the way out tho! haha

[@WannabeMarysue]

I love how the Author's notes (on TASVideos) include fanfiction about Marle being mad at the TAS author for not being included as much in the game.

[@RADish-official]

Who is this ‘a’ and why is he in so many SNES JRPG TASes?

[@irohdw6055]

The fact that the fastest way to kill Lavos is by using the seed that he ordered destroyed is hilarious. XD

[@GeFoxEL]

I like how the ingame text is readable so you can immerse in lore even while watching TAS

[@ZertusDarkSun]

Was an hour in before I realized there was commentary in the subtitles 😞

[@CCCeramics]

I love when these include commentary- super interesting!

[@Flamsterette]

Thanks for the upload! CHRONO TRIGGER was a good game for sure!

[@jennasloan396]

Glenn best Chrono Trigger character

[@lumipakkanen3510]

Great job and great commentary too!

[@mistymysticsailboat]

aw heck yeah subtitles! :)

[@wiseguise5960]

omg and I just finished watching without the CC on F' MY LIFE....

[@Flamsterette]

Oh, ANNOTATIONS!

[@obscurity3027]

New game+ wouldn’t exist without this legendary game. Very cool TAS!

[@LANBobYonson]

Frog is the hero of time i guess

[@omicoversea]

Chrono trigger. Is the best Game RPG.

[@venosito]

UnU

[@somekindoflandcow]

Big-ass seizure warning for 2:16:30, surprised the author didn't cover it considering they covered other parts

[@einootspork]

My guess is they forgot about it because it was after the TAS ended

[@DavidsD00MedReport]

I remember being the first kid in my Junior Highschool to have this game back in the mid 90's

[@alynnzz0491]

I wonder: during the Slash fight, is it really fastest to let him wander away?

[@alynnzz0491]

Furthermore, the Lavos fight baffles me.

[@graduator14]

Another classic TAS! :)

I think this is new my dude.

[@graduator14]

@@zef3k I meant that it was an instant classic

[@RADish-official]

This is a certified good classic

[@WhiteThumbs]

"Black Tyrano" is clearly very green

[@seanmarsh8411]

1:27 was that on purpose?!? Was it me or did it fit the song!?!?

[@Kiruklee]

Concussions on the beat!

[@Real_Xanadiel]

Loving the names you're giving 'em. XD

[@davewebster5120]

Grats. Keylie, your ikaruga max score tas is nothing short of miraculous. I really liked the commentary in the closed captions. I did a soup drinking contest at olive garden today and am regretting it.

[@RADish-official]

Is there a PS1 TAS out there? If so, can you send a link

[@RADish-official]

I hate how the first timed sequence doesn’t even give you a timer

[@MarcosPaulo-cc6wd]

Glenn the Hero! Great Elixir

[@CopiousDoinksLLC]

This is a really good TAS to leave on in the background while you're doing other things on the computer. You get little snippets of the Chrono Trigger soundtrack every few seconds randomly.

[@ZioNello_]

Slash is Hit from Dragon Ball Super

[@rastaboy_gamesnstuff7778]

And Chrono is Trunks fused with Zamasu

[@Arycke]

1:35:07 captions haha

[@koholintisland2167]

I love how the Trial scene gets interrupted by a fucking ad.

[@koholintisland2167]

This is the ad-siest TAS ive ever seen uploaded.

[@Yatetitán]

Pls TAS Earthbound 😊

[@LoganL2008]

we already have. just search “earthbound tas” and you’ll see.

[@Spikechive]

First two Earthbound / Mother titles already exist on TASVideos.

[@Flamsterette]

Please spell your simple words out.

[@Paulogamesytb]

To do a strong attack I have to press A button quick?

[@einootspork]

The commentary track uses the spelling "elixer" instead of the correct "elixir"
