my first TAS.
im really happy i could finish this today. Pop'n Music is one of my favorite rhythm games, and im happy to be the first person to do a TAS on the first game. (well, the PSX one.) i originally started this TAS in April, but due to some difficulties (recording mode was on and i lost half of the gameplay, leading to making a new movie) it couldnt be finished until now. the goal of this TAS is to finish a whole game cycle, with no misses, perfectly, with 9 keys on hard, as fast as i can. someone is probably going to ask "how come most of it is all GREATs and you dont get a lot of FEVERs?", but the reason why is that Pop'n Music will only give FEVERs when you fill the main meter on the bottom all the way up. its all GREATs before there. very funny, but understandable.
very delighted to share this TAS.

Temp encode: Link to video Hello rqkaiju2 and Welcome to TASVideos. I apologize cause I want to break down everything about this TAS for you to see and develop for a future TAS. For strict speed: The shortest available song is [POPS] I REALLY WANT TO HURT YOU which clocks in at a 1:22. The shortest unlock song is [RAVE] e-motion a beatmania / DDR song clocking it at a 1:14. The author elects for these songs:
  • [POPS] I REALLY WANT TO HURT YOU - 1:22 / Level: 10
  • [DISCO QUEEN] what i want - 1:36 / Level: 22
  • [SPY] spicy piece - 1:32 / Level: 23
By a strict call on a Difficulty showcase in place of I REALLY WANT TO HURT YOU:
  • [DISCO KING] FUNKY TOWN '75 - 1:33 / Level: 22
  • [CLASSIC] Chaos Age - 1:58 / Level: 22 (Unlock & 2nd Chart)

And this section is for the other miscellaneous issues and advice on how to deal with each section:
  • The Konami logo can be skipped well before it's visible
  • You press Right 3 times for 9 button mode then you select it.
    • Left + Circle on the same frame
  • You presses down for hardest difficulty then you select it.
    • Down + Circle on the same frame
  • The author clears the screen before selecting the first song.
    • Direction + Circle/Start on the same frame.
  • You write out "TASS" as the name entry... it's "TAS"
  • Input overshoots past the credits where it should end at the name entry screen.
I wish you the best of luck with any future projects you decide to do rqkaiju2.
