A TAS of the first level of Genesis Batman, which includes some backwards jumps

New strategy used on ankylosaur fight, then run synced from there. There was a desync at the very end of the last level of t-rex, which cost me time, and the final battle had to be done from scratch. Besides that, everything carried over just fine.

This movie will help with verifiers.

As requested by Spikestuff.

Provided partially as a test to see if it'll sync.

Alright, these are the first levels that actually had some interesting and fun tech to work with in a TAS. Obviously, the fastest movement for the raptor is constant rolling. Not only does it go faster than running, it also allows me to bypass most enemies if I roll from the right spots. Some considerations when rolling, though. There are actually two speeds of roll, one rolling from a stop is a lot slower than rolling from the move. Luckily a quick jump at the beginning of the level gets me moving much faster.

Next are the T-Rex levels, which are going to be a real challenge. The T-rex can be bumped forward by taking rockets up the ass, which is something I want to take advantage of. However, ass rockets tend to hurt a lot, and the T-Rex, contrary to what you might expect takes damage very quickly. I mean, I can gain more health by eating, but it slows me down, which undoes the benefit of taking the ass rockets in the first place. This is going to be a big balancing act.

The reason I wanted to do this run on Saturn as well. I found out what causes the glitch to stall sometimes. It's hitting certain barriers that are usually in a certain place. I found you can go under them, but it's often faster to just stay at the same height and reset the glitch whenever it stalls.

A run through the Playstation version up through Compy

This is even more boring than the last one. Seriously, don't watch it.

Ignore this movie. It's boring.

This is to help demonstrate that zips in Aero 2 are possible in real time. I wish good luck to all future speedrunners of the game.

x values, player health and some enemy health.

Now 612 frames faster than published movie.

Goes through first screen of level 3 because I needed to test whether grabbing extra health was worth the frames it takes to grab it.

Trying to clean up my old run, which I see as an eyesore.

27 frames faster than previous.

trying to fuck with mechanics by getting Aero stuck in an endless loop..

FOR TEH LULZ

My first run through PD2. Wasn't able to find better techniques after looking it over again.

First pass through performer's dungeon.

Through the Alter Aero fight. Just one world left to go.

24 frames slower than getting the fire powerup?

Sorry, crashing hard. I'm going to post this and try to rest.

Alter Aero

First Pass through Dis Industries 2 and 3. Now just need Alter Aero before I post in forums again.

Slower to the teleporter but faster in the boss fight.

Disco Fever new WIP

Disco Fever new WIP

Testing the first wall in Disco Fever 3.

Run through Disco Fever 3

Desyncs in Disco Fever 3, but we were changing that anyways.

Description

X and Y position and speed as well as subposition and subspeed. Sometimes useful, like when you're drilling into a wall..

I warn you ahead of time, this is crap.

Yeah, see title.

525 frames faster?

maybe we can play around with this?

FR 1 improved by 175 frames

Clearing the slide in FR2. No input after that.

New best known path through game.

Here to the elevator. I think level 2 is a lot smaller on a straight shot than the level feels, and a minute is a pretty long time. I think I'll be okay making it to the boss. Hopefully.

A very very unoptimized test for whether or not the boss will go down in one hit to the fire powerup.

Please try to see if you can beat this. I think it still might be a bit sloppy.

implemented some improvements found by Exonym plus first run through Dis Industries act 1.

Used Exonym's boss fight input since he hits the boss on all first frames, the boss pattern's set and I can't think of anything to outdo his entertainment

see title.

44 frames faster than Exonym's test run in this level alone. Most of the time save came from getting a better balloon bounce at the beginning. I also determined that activating the final lever from below was faster than shooting above it.

There is one trick in Boardin' Zone 3 that I'm glad I got. Still wasn't able to despawn that mine guy.

WHY IS THE BOMB GUY HERE?

WIP through the entire first set of levels. The dreaded Boarding Zone is next.

Able to implement the bed bounce trick from Exonym. 20 frames faster than his previously posted WIP

Managed to shave three frames off my previous WIP. The difference is I delayed the jump on the skid after entering the secret passage in the wall, allowing me to take advantage of more negative acceleration.

WIP of the first level for Aero the Acrobat 2

The only change is in the last two boss fights. Now 32 frames faster than published movie.
