The old OoT TASes were great. I will always remember the joy when watching them. Even the heated discussions here with swordless, grunz, spiderwaffle, bloob, yourself and others was very enjoyable. But when it takes 10 months for a reply to a question I guess OoT TASing is pretty dead now. What was it that killed it? Bizhawk? Abeshi? GIM? The spiderwaffle ban? The awkward spliced TAS? The new ace-like ending sure doesnt help. Maybe it's just time to move on? If any of u old TASers ever read this I want to thank you for your hard work!

Saw the any% time save in this video (go to 6:50): Link to video The video talks about TAS for around 30 seconds starting at 6:50.
Nice catch! This should save time over the published tas

Does reaching the end screen count as completing the game? I apologize for asking a stupid question. These new runs got me confused

No reason to get upset mate. If u had provided an explanation, like Slowking did, then I would have referred to your answer differently. But it doesn't really matter. Claims can be both factional and fictional. I will grant u that your claim was also a fact if that makes u happy. My goal was to predict the impact this new discovery can have on potential future TAS'es. As such I requested information I deemed necessary for comperhending the magnitude of the discovery and how it may be used in OoT TAS'es. As I understand it now, a cool TAS will be possible, but it is unlikely to impact any%.

So after investigating and reviewing this new stuff I still can't find a way to make it shorten the length of the current any% TAS, what am I missing? And this is assuming it would actually work on n64 as per FaschZ claim 2 posts above.

This is, however, the first game to get it under its own power (not needing to transfer glitch data from a second game). Very nice.
Can it be done on n64 tho? GIM used to be emulator only and not possible on console

https://twitter.com/dannyb21892/status/1191768796807225344 So can we finally do GIM on n64 now, and by extension actually do this in TAS? Where u at Swordless, Bloobiebla, Grunz and other old heroes!?

Sorry for double post. I was wondering if the new discovery would have big implications for any TAS categories of OoT? link for refference: https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/arqnar/ocarina_of_time_escape_kokiri_forest_with_zero/

How long would a 100% TAS be? With current strategies and routes on n64. around 3h30m?

That sounds promising Grunz. That is actually pretty awesome if you are correct

I dunno, lets say we disregard any emulation-error glitches like GIM that will not be possible on n64 without locking the game. Is there a faster way of beating the game than what Grunz did in the run currently published?
