I may be wrong, but after two minutes of skimming, its videos like that make people think TAS'ers are dirty cheats. You're posting on TASvideos... what makes you think that should be on speedrundotcom? As you're here you know what a TAS is You think thats legit? As for its actual merit as a TAS I dunno. It looks decent, but them passing it off as an any% run means I'm really intrested in giving the time of day. Edit; also stop advertising this bullshit. It makes you all but bad as they are.

Looking through this thread on speedrun.com, people over there say it's spliced. No clue if the run is actually legit or not, I haven't watched it. I'd be all over seeing a GTA: San Andreas TAS, but I don't think it's going to happen any time soon. I'm not sure if most of the tricks work on the PS2 version of the game, and the PC version will be TASable approximately never.

Why? It uses a single thread, so we will have a chance to test it when Hourglass-R. is ready.
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.

At 2:55 (Emmet) it is possible to walk around and shoot at Emmet or Smoke. That would have been more entertaining than standing still. I don't know if the TAS is on Playstation and if it is possible on that version. The driving isn't particularly good, neither is the walking (5:15 doesn't walk in a straight path). At 5:20, changing clothes isn't required. Though I think the runner deliberately does it, along with watching cutscenes in full. I stopped watching.
