I'm planning on working on All Cards in the near future :) this is my favorite Paper Mario game to optimize and play so far.
Would it be a separate category than 100% (whatever this game counts) or some branch that is different and entertaining enough to stand on its own?
Also wow that was quick.
All Cards means you have to 'get to the end of each chapter', as opposed to current any% where we ignore most of chapter 6 (ending it by redoing chapter 5), ignore most of chapter 7 (ending it by redoing chapter 5), ignore most of chapter 4, ignore most of chapter 3, etc etc.
It's a good compromise between any% and 100%.
So....does the real time runs still use cloud to beat bowser? or do they just complete 3 stages and kill bowser now?
3-exit (with ACE) is a different category from 11-exit (without ACE) is a different category from credits warp (with ACE).
The only completed run of 3-exit (with ACE) I've seen is the one I linked.
Is there a thread for SMW romhacks?

Also, the real time credits warp is now under 2 minutes thanks to substantial rerouting by p4 and nathanisbored (and maybe other people, I know a lot ahve worked on it now):

And there's a new silly category where you warp to bowser and kill him, for people who think warping to the credits doesn't count:

Uhhhhhhhh
Ocarina of Time just got completely broken by skater.
It causes random corruption of models and other graphical glitches, inventory modification, crashes...

I was thinking about that. An accurate N64 emulator should crash doing this glitch (since N64 crashes doing this glitch), so if a TAS used this route it would have to be a TAS of the VC version somehow.
Recca TAS sounds great.
This is one of the most notable shmups of its era, and on the NES period.
It has scoring and speedkill systems worth showing off and a bunch of different modes.
There should be a lot of high level play videos on youtube and nicovideo if you poke around.
I like how the bot identified unknown items by remembering their prices seen at shops, like a savant.
This is actually a really effective way to identify items in real time play, though a bot is of course flawless at doing it, whereas a player will usually need a helper program.
How could a TAS optimization task be done by writing lua scripts? I can write anything you want, or disasm this to death, but I thought it wouldn't help.
Maybe brute forcing?
The conditions are easy enough - you want to go overall left until a certain position, then overall right until a certain position, and if either guy dies you load an earlier state and try something different.
