Anyone interested to see a tas of this game? I've been looking around for a game to make my first tas of, and this feels like a good candidate. I made an optimized test run of the first level just to get a feel of how this would work. I'll make a less optimized test run of the entire game later, right now I just want to see if anyone else thinks this might be a good idea. http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/1329409986/1659%20-%20Star%20Wars%20Trilogy%20-%20Apprentice%20of%20the%20Force%20(U)(Hyperion).vbm

I'd like to see the next couple of levels. The bit you have done in that file wasn't boring, but it wasn't really enough to tell if I'd want to see the rest of the game. I played it for a few minutes after the movie ended and thought it might be sort of entertaining to see the next few levels optimized.

Yeah, I agree, the first level is nothing special, but I think things will become much more interesting once I start getting force powers to play with. Unless I'm mistaken, I get the dash power as early as the third level. Well anyway, thanks for the input. Now I'm going to finish my test run and after that I'll start posting optimized wips.

Isn't this game one long mother? Well I might as well give some advice instead of just ranting. Hold Up + Down and press B to use the light saber before finding it in game. I dunno if it helps but oh well \o/

That should be really useful. Even though it's limited to one type of attack, it will save a lot of time in the earlier levels. Thanks for the tip. Makes me wonder if there are more left+right/up+down glitches in this game...

WIP: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/22024238404057103 (bizhawk movie) Tried to make something out of this... nothing too serious. I'm expecting to get better as I'm going through the game, so this will probably be improved. That being said though, feel free to watch and comment on these first two levels. Luke moves a lot slower while jumping than he does while running, so ideally I want to be in the air as little as possible. Even stopping to duck and shoot the box near the end of the first level is faster than jumping over it, to give you an idea. The only glitch I've used is the one Cardboard mentioned earlier in this thread; using Up+Down+B to use the lightsaber without having it. It's particularly useful against the boss in the second level, as it kills him in two hits. IMO the game makes for quite a nice looking TAS, and it's only going to get faster with force powers.

So, 5 (depends on how you count, there's no clear definition) levels done: http://tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/22112057107299145 Youtube video of WIP 1+2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-yTmkkzy17s Everything got a lot faster with the dash power, unfortunately I couldn't really utilize its full potential until level 4, as you have to wait for R2-D2 in level 3.
