how many of you speedrun a game you TAS before TASing it? I guess there is not really a point to speedrun the game... i bet a lot of you try to speedrun the game normally though.

I suppose I speedrun parts (or sometimes most) of the games I run while TASing (as part of thinking about what I'll be doing in the future.) The only exception that comes to mind was when I worked on the Glitched Zelda 2 run. However, there are some games for "newer" consoles that I would definitely TAS should they become emulated well enough simply because I have attempted to speedrun them in the past.

"The only exception that comes to mind was when I worked on the Glitched Zelda 2 run." that was an enjoyable speedrun, except it is so glitched up it's not as entertaining as other zelda TAS runs.

>how many of you speedrun a game you TAS before TASing it? Not me. I play through it a few times and get to know the levels well so I have an idea of what I want to aim for when I start recording. It's extra entertaining because it's horribly glitched up. ;)
