[TAS] Metal Harbor - Mission 1 in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun of Sonic Adventure 2's Metal Harbor (Mission 1), with a completion time of 0:58.85.
Re-records: 10,118
Inputs: FusionVaria
This TAS does not use a speedglitch that exploits repeatedly bouncing to build speed. Personally I think this game is a lot more fun without using this tech, and it much more closely resembles non-TAS play.
The current record using TAS Bounce is a 0:56.07 by me (2012, very obsolete):

I decided to copy over my inputs from my recent Mission 3 TAS and update the Mission 1 record. I originally did not expect sub 1 minute to be possible without TAS Bounce, I'm still kind of astonished that it is...
I discovered a new trick in the making of this TAS, a method of VHC that uses Bounce+Homing Attack on the lip of certain collision to convert the downward Bounce velocity into horizontal speed. It saves a substantial amount of time at 0:32 as a means of quickly building speed along this awkward collision, and again shortly after at 0:35

00:35 - "Missil- FIRE! launch in 15 seconds."

[@Rathalos-ts7bn]

"Barely made it"

[@le0shadow]

0:30 the sole fact that it's possible to walk on that part is amazing, I wonder whether devs ever thought about it.

[@TheNorilla]

Just the bridges, the platforms at the corners don't have collision.

No more forgetting to jump from the rocket early lmao. This is the swaggest TAS this game has ever seen!

sonic really got michael jackson vibes at 0:18

[@finalrush7]

I ALWAYS KNEW THAT PART AT 0:32 WOULD FIND USE AT SOME POINT!!!!

[@theesteward9150]

I consider these speed runs as the story canon

[@beenjamminbunny9977]

I expected to see some janky shit, warping through walls and flying, but no, it actually just looks like how fast Sonic moves in canon

[@LoneSWarrior]

Sonic: *Goes through an entire offshore military base in the middle of the ocean in less than 60 seconds.*
Also Sonic: "That was rough."

[@Ashuri15]

Amazed to see this go sub 1m, skipping the rocket to the bigger rocket is so huge.
Oh yeah and nice moonwalk

[@beenjamminbunny9977]

It's funny how you got an E rank because the speed levels are balanced around getting points from rings, enemies, combos, etc. Yet ironically for the treasure hunt levels, speed is the only thing that matters because you get more points for finding them quickly and the time bonus is a big chunk of your score

Can't believe this tas is already two years old. Easily one of my favorites to this day.

MISSILA FIRE LAUNCH IN 15 SECONDS! 🤣🤣🤣

It's okay sonic you still got sub 1 minute

Lore accurate Sonic

[@jonprime]

This is so cool!!!! Are you planning to make more “tas-bounce-less” videos, kind of like sm64 no blj? Honestly any sa2 tas content is fire so just glad to see you’re making more videos :)

[@itsPersonnal]

I've been looking at tricks for Pyramid Cave =)

[@MrMiguel211]

Sonic go brrrr

[@CrystalKingdomGeneral4942]

Ok, you got over 80 rings, got a decent score at the end, got done with the whole stage in less than a minute, and you got an E rank?! ...how?!

[@MozyOnIn]

I would love to know how to do that moon walk at 0:18
