Notes
In this TAS, I win a game against a computer player. The game's manual claims that the final game, Game 54, is the hardest. It has the highest running speed, the hardest CPU difficulty, and the smallest goal size. The attacking team moves slower than the defending team when in their half of the field. So I have to briefly pass the ball back to another team member to avoid having the ball stolen from me. Scoring is pretty difficult since the net size is so small. You can avoid passing back to your teammate, but if you do, you'll be unable to score a goal. In single-player games, there are no penalties, so we can end input early for the rest of the game. Since the CPU is unable to score on our goalie, they're free to hold onto the soccer ball until the timer runs out, resulting in the longest and most tense staring contest in soccer history.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to practise my soccer skills. I can't seem to find any soccer balls near me, so I'm going to take a trip to Edmonton and ahem... "borrow" one of the balls from the Talus Dome. I'm sure people won't mind if just one is missing.- Walgrey
