Wow! Really.... just.... wow! Don't give up! It's definitively star material as Angerfist said.

Thanks for the support guys, I appreciate that :) USTA2877 will be working on Tails' Story, but I'm not sure about the other ones. Knuckles' Story would be a pain, it's so hard to luck manipulate the emerald pieces layout :/

Okay guys... I found out a really weird thing yesterday in a part of Emerald Coast. Basically, in the whale part, moving the camera makes you go SLOWER. YES! SLOWER!!! I made a quick video to show you that: Link to video In both videos I used a neutral main stick input, so there's no way that the angle could slow me down. I'm not sure if there's some lag in the fixed camera video, I'll try to find it out some another day. So, does someone have some idea about what could get me those frames lost in the fixed camera video?

The only thing I can think is that, in the dynamic camera view, we get very close to Sonic and likely don't have to render as much of the surrounding scenery. This probably results in the game processing things faster, for some reason? Similar to how in Mario 64, underwater swimming changes camera angles to show as little of the surrounding scenery as possible, to maximize speed.

That is due to in-game lag. For example, in SM64, when you have the timer activated, it lags with the game. It doesn't stay accurate and simply exclude lag. With this, it would act the same way I assume (not positive). In other words, I don't see how in-game lag could affect the games timer in the way you suggested...which is what's so confusing about it in the first place.

Okay, so Emerald Coast is done for Sonic's Story TAS, with a time of 48.25 seconds :) Sorry about that taking so much time, I've been busy with school lately... Anyway, I've sent my dtm to USTA2877 so he'll restart Tails' Story using my Chaos 0 and Emerald Coast, so hope more feedback from us soon :D

Theory on that whole camera thing: you can push/pull things with the camera in this game, its possible that the camera is pulling sonic which would explain how you got different times with same speed on every frame, because, you did get the same speed on every frame, right?

Yeah, I got the same speed on every frame. That theory seems interesting, but would it be possible in other segments as well? O_o

No idea, maybe? I don't see why not, but I could be wrong about why that worked.

This was incredibly awesome! It reminded me of the first SM64 TAS which lead me to this site and I rarely feel that astonished again watching other TASes. I can't wait for the finished project. Keep up the good work :)

THC, that was absolutely wonderful to witness :) Your run is chaotic in a beautiful way. So damn amazing. Do you work a lot in each stages or do you simply don't have much time?

To think some were saying a TAS wouldn't be no different from an RTS.

I do work a lot in each stage yeah, but I'm having no time at all, my life has been upside down in the past few weeks :/ But I hope to get more progress from now on!

Daymn, that WIP was really awesome looking, looks a fair bit more optimized than the old one too. :) After seeing that Casinopolis it brings up the question of if sub 4 can be done with a capsule, I think that'd be really awesome.

I tested it a while ago, the max I could get was 4.15, but as it was before when I started to use debug mode, I think that 4.13 or 4.11 is possible. Sub 4 isn't happening with this strat :/

Okay, so I have some progress in this TAS. I found some huge time savers and improvements in Ice Cap, so I improved 1.38 seconds over my last TAS: Link to video
