I know there is a rare number of people that have done things like a Smash Bros Melee TAS where two character's moves are syncronized to the music, but I have another idea. 1. Record an input movie of a game like SM64, Zelda OoT or something where you can do attack moves in or other form of acrobatic tricks. 2. Hit walls, enemies, throw things and collect things or interact with menus and NPCs that trigger sound effects all throughout the input file. Completing the game is totally disregarded. 3. Do this for about or close to the length of some catchy song. Record multiple movies of other games if need be. 4. Record a video encode of the whole thing(s) and put it into a video editor like Vegas or Premiere. Put in the music you chose. 5. Make cuts and splits that synchronize attack impacts and other things that trigger sound effects with the notes of the music changing the pitch and adding other effects as you want. Put encoded of other games side by side and add them to the synchronization if you're feeling talented. 6. Fine tune as needed and upload to YouTube or nicovideo. 7. Make random viewers the world over headbanging and dance frantically to the newly created "tool assisted music video" you just made. 8. Become a meme somehow. Could this work? Could it even be done? I'm not saying of course that by default, this is already possible or even easy to do. This is just a theory I have. I mean, if we can construct super plays where one person controls two players, we should be able to put Mario defying the laws of physics alongside Africa by Toto, shouldn't we?

There's a difference between using a game and making a tune out of it in an actual TAS and cutting it up and manipulating it. Rewrite your steps at 4 and 6 to 8 cause it's just dumb to read... considering how redundant these steps are. People already do this to Video Games / TV Shows / Movies and modify the footage/audio to work with them and so-forth. (forgot the term of the people who do this.) You know, people who put in the time. And why are you writing "TASes" when you're disregarding the fact the possibility of a TAS can actually do it in the first place without the cuts... which you're calling for in your "steps"?
