Topics of Note: 1. If you're asking why I did not use Memory Manipulation, it is due to the fact that firstly it would be terribly boring (except for the timer sections) as every ball, polar, bash, and tank round would just be auto win. It would be even more of an autoscroller than this already is. Secondly, there has not been enough research into all the possible values that can be manipulated and what they do, hence I didn't want to do a TAS that also could be invalidated the next day. 2. As Redhot said, this is very beatable, I will not deny this. There is much research to be done that can improve this TAS. But since we don't have this information, I did not have the time or energy to trial and error for hours and hours, that just wasn't what this TAS aimed to do. This TAS aimed to show a little rough but optimal estimate of how low 200% can actually go, for the Bash communities sake, and also discover new glitches and show proof of concepts for the community. I submitted the TAS to TASvideos because Spike recommended it, I don't mind the result. I believe that this TAS would actually be more boring to watch if it was optimal anyway, as it would be the same RNG and AI over and over, no variety. I entered the level first frame, which means I just took whatever RNG I got and rolled with it. 3. Yes this run is incredibly boring, but keep in mind it was also incredibly boring to TAS the autoscroller sections, so it goes both ways. I could say over 50% of it is load screens/autoscoller/down time, so I do not blame you. As explained above, the purpose was to show off the main timesave levels (polar, bash, tank, dash) in a TAS format. The timer levels were just areas I had to grind through to get to the good stuff. That's why this run is on Youtube, so you can skip to the good bits. 4. 2 player would of course be faster. This however requires double the inputs and I purely just did not want to go through that. It does not phase me if people think that this should've been done with 2 player as again this was a passion project and to show the Bash community what the game is made of. My TAS has done what I intended. If it does not meet the requirements for being on this website then so be it. But it is at least a LOTAD and it is the only completed full completion TAS of Bash as of now, which again is a positive for the Bash community. The downtime is intended to be skipped. Thanks for watching, especially to anyone who is crazy enough to watch the entire movie.
