@@callmezeldaonemoartime TASes still have players. It's not like an AI was coded to do every level perfectly. TAS means tool-assisted. It could be anything from slowing the game down and using savestates to programming a macro that does everything perfectly.
There is something very amusing about the tas coming from a stand still to a full speed in seconds, and also how it gently passes over the syringes in chemical plant. Great stuff
In a theoretical sense, it would make sense for Knuckles to reach this.level of speed like with the movie adaptations. He's trained on angel island for who knows how long, meaning his strength isn't just for his fists. Clearly he's got excellent leg muscle if he were to move at the speeds he can go in this speed run.
Originally knuckles was always fast. He was the 2nd fastest in the series second only to sonic until people like shadow showed up then they made him irrelevant to sonic and not only made him dumber but slower as well. Knuckles could in fact keep up with sonic but couldn't surpass him at max speed. However ppl say knuckles is as strong as sonic is fast and if that's true knuckles should just be as fast as sonic if running with his strength
@@brokenman4414 Where was that official stated? It may not be canon but I've seen sonic use his arms to make mini twisters in comics and sonic x irrc. If he could use his arms in that matter than so can knuckles use his legs. Sonic is a force of pure speed. Knuckles is strength. Say for whereas sonic could vibrate through matter with just speed alone, knuckles can't do that. However knuckles should be able to use his strength to be able move at a higher speed whereas sonic is that speed.
Knuckles' leg muscles aren't as strong as Sonics, which is why he's always had a lower maximum jump height than sonic and tails in the games. Made it a pain in the arse to play Knuckles in Sonic 2 back in the day because the game wasn't designed around that too low jump height, like I remember it made it impossible to beat the final boss robot in death egg zone because of the method I'd come up with for it. The method didn't work with knuckles cos his jump wasn't high enough. So I had to change the whole method. It seemed like I was using quite a bad method anyway compared to how most people defeat the robot, but I was only 7, so it was upsetting to me at first that I kept dying and couldn't beat the boss. But yeah, Tails was always as fast and as high jumping as Sonic because of his tails, where when he ran he uses them as propellors to sort of half-fly or glide along, and when in the air he could use his tails as propellors like a helicopter to jump that high (and then in sonic 3 he gained the ability to actually fly period, for a brief amount of time, not merely able to jump as high). Knuckles is not quite as high jumping as either of the other 2, but us makes up for it by having his wall climbing ability and his gliding ability, which makes him arguably the funnest to play as of the 3 main characters.
@@duffman18If you think playing S2 as Knux was painful, just do a no-horizontal run. I'm dead serious here, it's possible. The Death Egg methods are just stupid.
Just got this game on Christmas and only really had the time to actually play it a few days ago. Guess I’m a bad player if I thought speedruns of classic sonic couldn’t look this graceful
You're not bad at the game, you just need to get used to speedrunning. That's coming from someone who struggles on the Encore mode special stages. (Yes, they're different than the Mania mode ones and yes they're mostly in different spots.)
aside from the challenge of finishing the game in a low time and the competitive nature of speed running looking at these are really relaxing Thanks ^_^ and merry Christmas
Love the jumps on the loops! Also I'm curious is the Puyo Puyo segment at the end of Chemical Plant at 7:32 RNG based at all, or could you plan it carefully?
The funny thing is that Knuckles is the only character that will face all 5 of the Heavies in a single run while Sonic and Tails only face 4 of them. This is because they don't face Heavy King at all until the final fight.🥃
0:16 oh my god WE GET IT GAME!!! THERE’S AN AUTOSAVE FEATURE!!! once for each player that plays it for the first time is enough. You don’t need to bring this up EVERY SINGLE TIME!!!
I saw the mean bean machine part was a bit of a struggle. If you need help with Puyo, an easy way to make a quick 3-5 chain is with the stair stacking method. Here’s a quick video about it if you need it: ruclips.net/video/PMinvx7QHOo/видео.html Also, amazing TAS as usual my man.
Nice TAS man! Kinda wish Knuckles had more unique paths in the base game. Though from what I've heard, there is a mod that does just that, giving knux new paths and reworked stages to better fit his abilities. Any chance a TAS of that comes in the future?
Him "this is TAS'd" Me watching him do 60 wall jumps with knuckles in 2 seconds: 👁️👄👁️ Like yeah no shit bro, really couldn’t tell, thanks for the clarification

The thing I love about this tas is that you can really stop for a spindash anytime you want with his glide
Makeshift Dropdash
Something i always love about tas runs is the programming to do frame perfect dash dancing when it doesnt need to do anything

Plays a lot of games.

Wow what an original joke

As someone who hasn’t played mania in quite a while, this is very helpful for some time saves!
Looks like this speedrun was... **puts on shades** ...rougher than the rest of them.
the best of them… thougher than leather
Sonic Mania, but Eggman stole the Master Emerald instead of the Phantom Ruby.
this perfectly describes what's happening
If you for whatever reason want to steal the master emerald you better keep running because every passing moment knuckles is getting closer
16:35 I was literally saying "Wait... REALLY?!" when I saw those gliders and then you reached to the goal capsule
Same. I mean, that's a huge skip
It’s a TAS, there’s no “you” in it

Three cheers for Shiro Paradox and Sonic Mania as Knuckles "All Emeralds" Speedrun and Merry Christmas 🎄
Great TAS! Also, Merry Christmas!
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
your sonic mania speedruns are great! keep it up
That backwards leg in the thumbnail does not cease to disturb me.
When knuckles rolls on the ground switching from his gliding animation constantly scared the shit outta me
22:48 Oh god the robots are t bagging they’ve grown sentient
I love the silent slow, just to hype up the eye strain speeds of the Tas
Knuckles has become a vessel for a God and literally annihilates egg man at the speed of sound:
Knuckles is so underrated and underutilized
Love the jumps on the loops! Also I'm curious is the Puyo Puyo segment at the end of Chemical Plant at 7:32 RNG based at all, or could you plan it carefully?
Not quite RNG, rather using of logic.
Let's go Knuckles and flex your muscles because you need them to beat this game. Time for a Knuckles sandwich
The fact that I’ve managed to rival TAS times on most of these special stages is fucking nuts.
I'd love to see a speedrun where the main goal is to hit Eggman with a Hellfire chain in Puyo.
my jaw dropped when you skipped the spider boss thats insane
I love your speedruns
I've been waiting for this for the last week

Knuckles only faces Heavy Rider in the last Robotnik boss encounter and his chances of actually doing so are low
@@DeltaMarlfox That is true. I forgot that Sonic and Tails face of against her at the same time Knuckles fight him.

Good gameplay bro and merry christmas
Thanks, and Merry Christmas too^^
Thx ;)
Im not bilíngue,but this speed thats magnificent

Hard to believe it's been 5 years
These tickle my brain in the best way
Knock Knock
It's Kunckles
Woah your speedrun first time to see that ⚡👍
Man. All emeralds is 3 minutes slower with Knuckles than Tails? Dang.
55:1 was so calm and nice deserved a sub🥶🥵😎
Oh wow u gotta have a really pro gaming chair!1!1
so I was playing it wrong this whole time!
3:46 ok but that bm on Robotnik tho
I loved your tas skilz. So how to conent libtas into sonic maina
I used decomp-linux version
Dreams been mighty quiet since this dropped
Omg it's a new speed run 30 seconds it's a all esmerald
I like how some special stage have the bird and fish from the sonic 1 special stages
21:06 POV:you missed the school bus but don't want to tell you parents
23:29 POV:you turned into jesus cuz you hate swimming😂
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE EVERYBODY!
Now, we'll just wait to move onto plus for mighty, then ray, and possibly encore mode.
Ray would be so fun to see a speedrun of
rays glide will make him beat levels in possibly 30 seconds because of how broken it is
The Puyo segment seemed sub-optimal, but maybe starting a chain with a row of four yellows would not have ended the fight early
Also there’s some OOB glitches with super knucks so yeah.
Good TAS bot
Bro used the glitch technique for special stages
ok that climbing trick ive never seen before congrats
nice TAS
What type of controller did you use? and What platform did you do this run?
I used decomp version for LibTAS. Controller? I just used gaming keyboard.
Merry Christmas, Shiro!
Merry Christmas too!
Merry Christmas, as well!
