And he post this video this morning and it's also very nice and like someone in the video comment said he "could skip a good portion of the temple" with this :P .
Hey I'm pretty new here, I was lurking these forums for quite a while now. I'm an active member at SDA and like TASer and SDAer :P are going so well together now, I was hoping to give and or receive help. First, I saw a run recently on Youtube that look as fast or faster than the current one here, he use the JAP ver. The only thing in is run that I couldn't under stand is skipping the first cinematic Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhcbmrF6GWY&feature=related Since we can't always trust human eyes and I don't know if the Jap version is faster, I was asking if this was actually faster than Bloobiebla's one.
I think the framestep fix might help a little with inputs from previous frames effecting the current frame. The issue with input in Dolphin is that it isn't polled at any specific time (like on frame draw), it's put on a timer that the emulated CPU polls every so often. When in recording/playback mode, that timer is forced to be once every frame, but the timing of the poll may still be off. It would be easy to fix this by forcing a poll on frame draw, but doing that would make the timing different from the current method, and possibly break movies already made/being made.
Without a new route for the adult section there won't be a new any% TAS. At least not by me.
Oh I think I get what you're saying now, the owl skip would be after ZR not after KV? I was thinking the owl came up after KV always and not which ever place you enter HF first from. Sorry for asking so many times, I guess we both weren't getting what each-other was saying.
So I think this means there's already TAS videos of what sword route would be, and the stick is only different from 3 ZR slides, cucco collecting, and after KV slide. So I'm going to try to estimate what those 4 slides save then.
slowi's right, so stop the discussion right here. we tested this a while ago and aqua escape is clearly superior. it's still debatable if ruto's bottle might be quicker, which probably isn't the case.
I got that, but what I don't get it why can't you use broken stick in the k field level to both skip owl and aqua slide since there's no loading zone you would need to go through.
You wouldn't have to TAS the whole child section, just stick route up to the vines, ZR stick route (no slides), cucco collecting stick route (throwing instead of slashing). Sword route up to the vines has already been TASed, Sword route ZR has already been done, sword route cucco collecting has already been done. And they don't have to perfect either unless they turn out to be less a second apart.
Do you mean from kak village to the bridge? surely there's already a video of this one right?
yes it can? And it avoids the neverending cutscene of getting the flute
I had an idea. If the ruto bottle route with the owl turns out to be impossible, there is another alternative to the current route. First of all I think the bridge clip and the aqua escape with clip are compareable in terms of how much time they take. So that really doesn't figure into the equation. The interesting part: From Grunz's little TAS down river we can see that that takes like 35s. Another jumpslash slide and you are at Kakariko in about 10s. So that's 45s which is compareable to the old peahat way. It is more if you do consider the HF introduction cutscene, which you probably should since that will play as adault if it hasn't played as child. Although you could just subsittute the one time you use that exit with going through GC. Probably comes out on top compared to watching that scene. Anywho the good part about this is: You would never have to buy a shield or deku stick. So no gathering rupees, no going to the shop. With the 9r you get inadvertently by getting the sword and the 13 you get from the river you also have enough to buy the adault shield when you figure in the 60r from the bridge. I think that makes more than up for the extra 10-15 seconds HF intro (that are only really lost if you really take the intro as adault, anyway). So really I think now it's between "doing aqua escape and getting ruto bottle" and "doing aqua escape and getting cucco bottle". Pretty sure bridge clip is out.
