I always thought a "low% without big glitches" run would be interesting to watch:
- Lowest possible stats at the end of the game (I heard this was 3-1-1, maybe 4-1-1, I dunno. Never been crazy enough to actually try it. <_<' Maybe put the unavoidable points into life instead of attack, since the TAS would never get hit anyway, lol)
- No cross, candle, magic key, or upthrust
- Only the jump, fairy, reflect, and thunder spells
- Only the 4 starting heart containers (this point wouldn't matter much since the TAS never gets hit...)
Supposedly it's the hardest possible challenge to do unassisted. Like, just barely possible by a super-expert with a heaping load of continues. :p
It'd be interesting to see how the bosses would be handled with level 1 attack, I think. I always was kinda disappointed by the TASes' boss fights so far since they're all like BRRRRRAP and the boss is dead in a second or two. :p
The main thing that might cause an entertainment hit, though, is that there'd be a lot of resetting involved, since the bosses give so many points that you need to reset right after grabbing their keys in order to avoid leveling up. Or something like that, I forget what the exact point avoidance technique is with bosses...
