You'd made an excellent work on this TAS. Your comments are more than welcome for both layman and experienced Crash runners. Time to time I return to watch your videos (both this one and Warped) and always admire your effort, specific knowledge of the game and of course the quality of the content. Hope you're doing well.
I have never watched a speedrun before, so when I wanted to see a Crash Bandicoot speedrun, I wanted a commented one. Yours was really interesting and I am incredibly fascinated now because I love game design and development and this is an incredibly nerdy, fun and interesting way to look at games and game tech. Also I just love Crash Bandicoot and my brain absolutely exploded when I watched it at that speed. Thank you for doing and showing this!
@@hypnotised-clover The expectation is that he'd be playing in English. The fact he isn't is immediately obvious. It's the first thing one might notice, even before the constant jumping.
This might be an odd compliment, but I think the sound quality of your mic is really good (coming from someone whose only commented TAS watched was Crash 3 105%).
Quite late, but regarding the blue gem platform required - it is possible to hit some of the crates in the lower area with triple mask form without entering the area using the gem by jumping in the pit that is above the area. The issue is getting out of the pit. Have you tried anything regarding this? I remember Rexayy looking into it couple years ago.
Yeah a skip for this was found about a week after the TAS was finished ruclips.net/video/wbtxDccuYGc/видео.html adding it in basically means redoing the TAS from the start, so it wasnt really an option. Maybe I'll do a V2 inclusing it someday
@@The8bitbeast Wow thats cool. And annoying. For the other ones. Pink in fortress looks absolutely unavoidable. Purple in boulders 2 seems slightly more doable, but only if the camera can be manipulated into switching, which doesnt seem doable. Has anyone tried whether it doesnt switch if you position it precisely enough (similar to hang em high yellow gem skip).
I'm sorry man, but this commentary is awful. Not even 7 minutes in and I have so many more questions than I have answers. 1. Not explaining how you spun a box way behind you at 0:57 2. Briefly and vaguely mentioning something about having "5 spins" that take 1 second to recharge. This is particularly confusing because not only would 99.9% of players would have no idea about this apparent spin-stamina mechanic, but you make little attempt to explain why you don't spin for large periods of time if it only takes 5 seconds to recharge your spins. You briefly (again) mention that it's related to managing cycles, but are the ones you're planning the run around really SO tight that you need to intentionally slow down 6-7 levels early to line them up? This would have been extremely interesting to talk about, and you just don't. 3. You talk about "Z-optimization" but it's unclear whether this is an actual strategy you're describing or a ridiculous way of explaining that you want to take the shortest path to the end of a level. You say that spins are most "effective" in the 8-main directions, with no further explanation. You already rarely spin mid-level. 4. You explain "sub-jumping" and then immediately repeat your explanation for double-jumping without any further clarification. So you can always double-jump? What does clipping into the leaf have to do with anything? Did you mean that clipping into the leaf before the jump makes the game think you're on the ground after jumping? I can't watch anymore of this.

At this point i would have been more surprised if a new early game time saving trick was NOT found right after this TAS was finished. Great TAS btw.
So all those times where I spun the top of a lizard and flung myself into a pit, I was actually doing a high class TAS maneuver... Ahhhh I'm good.
This is an amazing TAS. The Lost City actually broke my brain!

Well done 8bitbeast, I loved your Crash 3 TAS but this might be your finest work.
Amazing TAS and great commentary explaining all of it making it even more interesting! awesome
I'm glad I found your commentated TAS playlist
You've made some groundbreaking stuff, dude

TASs like this are so impressive and commentaries make them so fascinating
25:28 the "camera stuff" whisper tripped me the hell out for a sec
I love commentary tas, thanks for this masterpiece 🗿🍷
Thank you so much for the commentary!
Great run and commentary
Congratulations and thank you
Pog but I'm on the verge of passing out, guess I'm sleeping to crash bandicoot 1 noises
Amazing TAS. Well done.
This video feels like you’re showing off a project at the science fair
Amazing video
Oh hell yeah babey, this is the good stuff
Oh hey, this is like Sample's video! Good times, listening to someone actually explain what the hell's going on.
Based and boxpilled, hope you make some more on other classic games
_"The first thing you're going to notice is"_
Japanese text?
_"that I'm going to be jumping a lot."_
Oh.
I don't get it.
@@hypnotised-clover If it wasn't for speedrunning, he'd probably have English text.
@@Antsaboy94 Okay, and?

@@Antsaboy94 Pretty sure all runs are done on the japanese version of the game, I don't know what you're talking about.
I’m glad you made this video.
So cool to see a double jump in Crash 1
amazing run and commentary!

Thanks! From memory that one was recorded on an old guitar hero mic. Ive had a bit of an upgrade since
Thats is actually a great things

Idk what TAS means, but this is impressive. My platinum relics now look like aluminum.
great work!
Nice vid 8bit. Would have been cool to have splits or a timer, something for next time?
Thanks dossey. Not a bad idea, could be a nice way to un 4:3 it
I need a new crash 3 tas from you
14:49 this level...
The lost city was genuinely perfect 😭😭
You are gonna do a TAS Crash Bandicoot 2? Greetings!
Greetings! Someone has already done a good TAS of Crash 2
No blue gem skip?
crash 2 tas with commentary?
Sorry Ive never TASed crash 2 so maybe not. There is already a good tas of it though
Great video. Will you be doing a commentary on your Crash 3 TAS?
Yeah I did live commentary when it came out ruclips.net/video/moFY7p5EtxM/видео.html
If only I could open a TAS guide without closing it like a minute later
Do you have hand tremors or something that caused you to accidentally click off of this delightful video? I'm so sorry bro :/
Read it again
Can you lizard boost off mark zuckerberg?
top tier comment
Damn
😢
