"still one of my favorite tasing moments was discovering that the most optimal path in this boss fight is farting and burping. I found ram addresses, analyzed damages and attack times, and concluded that I should fart on people" -adelikat
NOTE: This movie was submitted with the end inputs matching the current publication, however there's actual credits after this point if you press start enough times. I am unsure if it's preferred to have the movie that reaches credits be submitted instead so I'm linking it here: Userfiles/Info/70127691814661844
at the very least, if the current submitted file is preferred, the one I just linked can be used for encoding purposes.

Game objectives

  • uhhh hueh hueh heuh

Comments

This is a 203 frame improvement to the previous publication. The biggest differences are in the Street and the school levels.
To sum up the game's plot, Beavis and Butt-head get tickets to a Gwar concert, but the tickets end up getting shredded all over town, so they must get all the pieces together so they can make it in time to the concert.
Each stage consists of puzzle solving that would not be obvious to most players, so I can try to explain each thing that's done in the movie, what items are picked up, used, and so on. I may not get everything so I apologize if I do.

Stage by stage comments

Burger World

First place we go is to Burger World, we head to the dumpster to grab some items to put into the fryer, including a mouse/rat thing.
The code to enter the employees only door is spelled out as "Butthead" when you read the letters on each key
once we put the items into the fryer, a customer eats the food and barfs out a piece of the ticket.
in order to leave the stage with all of our items, we have to go to the exit with our remote equipped (only Butt-head can do this). You can't select "sucks" to quit the stage because you lose everything.

Hospital

You can get past a guard by burping while he swings
You steal the fat guy's scooter and make him fall down stairs, and then a piece of the ticket shows up

Street

This stage is where most of our health gets used up, luckily there's some health pick ups once we reach the junkyard, but they're very limited.
after we go through the sewers and enter the junkyard, we pick up a duck to use for a later stage
Junkyard had the most changes in the run, as some of the enemy placements are completely different from what I assume are emulator differences. but either way we don't actually grab the dart gun as we can get around the areas later in the game just fine without it. Most of what was improved here was the ability to skip some eagles and better jumping around the cars. The whole reason we're at the junkyard is to pick up a dog bone to use later.
On the way down we grab more health pickups to use.
when we reach the house where the lawn mower guy, we have to fart and burp on him to kill him. then we pick up the key on his lawnmower to enter his shed. however we cant enter the shed unless we throw the bone for the dog, which happens so fast that you don't notice it.
While in the shed we pick up two items, a fishing pole to use at the end of the game, and a chainsaw. we use the chainsaw to cut down the tree which has the ticket in it.

Room

since we got enough ticket pieces, we have to put the first ticket together, while we're here we also grab a pair of pants and a camera, as they'll be used later.

Mall

This stage has some of the most convoluted tasks you need to do.
First once you get past the guards, we head into the pet shop to get a snake, while the manager packs it up for you, you grab the key while he isn’t looking, then use it on the bird cage to grab the ticket piece, then before you leave, get the snake in a box
Next grab some oil in the car place.
Then you go to the yogurt shop to grab some soap from the bathroom.
Next go into the laundromat, it's important to note that you aren't allowed to enter here unless you have soap and some clothes to wash, which is why we grabbed the pants and the soap earlier. We then use the oil to open the washing machine so it doesn’t squeak and wakes up the old lady. The ticket is in this washing machine.
Next you go to the shop to sell the bird and the headset for later.
Lastly you go to the army building to terrify the guard there with the snake, then you can grab the book with the other ticket and the bomb
Now you can leave the mall

drive in

for this stage we must use the cash we got from selling items at the mall to get into the drive in.
We then throw a bomb at the concessions to blow up the soda machine, making a mess everywhere
We then go an take a picture of a fat lady and make her chase us to the concessions so she can slip and drop a ticket piece.

School

This stage also had some improvements with the maneuvering of enemies. Since we don't have the dart gun we instead use a combination of farting and burping to get past enemies.
We get some items from classrooms to use in other classrooms

Home

The last ticket piece is by using the fishing pole out of the window. we can now put them together and head to the concert

Gwar concert

rock on!!!!

Other comments

Big thanks to adelikat for his previous movie.
and thanks to Gens for having the stupidest audio emulation:

feos: Judging...
feos: Replacing the submitted file with one that completes the game.
feos: Accepting over [1025] Genesis Beavis and Butt-Head "2 players" by adelikat in 09:27.03. The movie looks longer, but it's because it's more complete. Actual gameplay is shorter.
The feedback was really positive for this submission, even though the 2 published movies for this game are very Vault. Since this run is any%, we can adjust the tier in the future if needed. So while I don't think this movie is any different from the existing ones, the feedback was Moons, and we can give this movie some Moons exposure so that more people could rate too, and then we'll see. Yes, it's a problem that we don't have a system that'd allow properly sharing the data between submission voting and publication rating (as people voting very often ignore rating afterwards). Yes, we're thinking about solving it someday.

I like to comment on submissions and look around the site. You have probably seen me before (if you have been around for a while) either on the site, Discord, or any other social media. I recently took up making temporary encodes for new submissions. Also, I never forget to greet Tompa wherever I find him!

I remember looking at the current run and thinking "I bet I can improve this", and then the game got desynced, and I was like "nah". Thanks for realizing the improvements I was pretty sure were there.

Agreed
I recently discovered that if you haven't reached a level of frustration with TASing any game, then you haven't done your due diligence. ---- SOYZA: Are you playing a game? NYMX: I'm not playing a game, I'm TASing. SOYZA: Oh...so its not a game...Its for real? ---- Anybody got a Quantum computer I can borrow for 20 minutes? Nevermind...eien's 64 core machine will do. :) ---- BOTing will be the end of all games. --NYMX

Yes vote for the improvement But it says there at the ending screen "Now can you get to the band?" 100% version wanted =D With the 100% the visiting of stages should be mostly the same, since on burger world you have to eat the rotten burger, then go to the hospital to get the scissors and get healed In the end, there is a little more security, not sure how much more HP is needed for this part I think there is something about a cat too...

Getting on the stage doesn’t require too much in question, all I need to do is pick up the pizza from the couch using Butthead to use as bait for the fishing pole, getting the cat. The problem is those security guards are next to impossible to get past with the current health I ended with (they will both die in one hit). I would have to do some routing to get health pickups, but I didn’t know about this ending until after this was submitted.

Nice improvement! BTW, why did you save the game after cutting down the tree? Does it change anything?
TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.

each character can only carry a certain amount of items at a time, including tickets. Not only that but we have to make a trip to the room anyway to grab the camera for the drive in theater and the pants for the laundromat.

I only said that because both previous publications ended input right as one of the characters enters the concert. So I wasn’t sure what would be preferable for this game specifically

Actual explanation. If you don't reach the credits, the game is not completed yet, so the "post-completion input" clause doesn't apply here, because it handles input that needs to happen after the credits. What we can do is use the movie with the concert for encodes, but it should also be modified to reach the credits eventually.
