Dear glitch finders, I feel that I need your assistance with my Amy@S3K project. I already know how to improve stages like FBZ2 or LBZ1, but there are a few stages which are still a big problem for me. They are: — Sandopolis zone act 1 — Sky Sanctuary zone If you can find any shortcuts / routes better than mine (for Amy), I would be very glad ^_^ I also know a slightly better route for Sandopolis zone act 1, but last time I was unable to come there early enough to be able to take it, for more info see the submission text. I highly doubt I can succeed at it when trying it again next time…

Wow, the submission text is so long, but it is still missing explainations on how to give your run a hug :3 Yes vote

Disappointing how?
It is missing one of the sound channels. Also I am not sure that volumes of the channels are set properly — the sound of rocket launch (LBZ2) seems to be too loud. See the comments on that video…

Can anyone please fix the sound in the YouTube encode? It’s really disappointing… BTW I am working on an improvement, but it may take years to complete (see my signature)… So better to fix the encode for now…

Very nice runs, Mothrayas! I apologize for not working on this, as I was going to TAS Mario 3 myself. The reason is that the game is simply not TASable on Gens. It causes random desyncs and crashes when trying to replay it, and it happens for me with any version of Gens. As I use Linux, I cannot try Bizhawk, and I have no time and mood to TAS on a Windows machine, because I prefer to TAS in a comfortable environment where I can chat with friends, listen to the music, write code & so on, at the same time while TASing. This was my last testrun of this game. Link to video I cannot provide a bkm file yet, because it’s stored on a Windows computer, which is far away from me right now, also I think it’s quite improveable, mainly because I didn’t get flower item… Though I think in some places it’s faster than your attempt, but I may be wrong.

Lag optimization is also pretty important in some stages with many enemies
Yeah, compared to Sonic games, which I usually TAS, this game is incredibly laggy, and often killing enemies is faster than leaving them alive (which you would probably expect to be faster, because you land earlier and can run again earlier). I found it to be quite hard to figure out the best trajectory and which enemies to kill / coins to collect.

I found a new zip for Knuckles in HCZ1, and my new time is 0:31.59. I got a question about HCZ2… Do I need to count time spent dying? I beleive I have a chance to do an underflowless run of HCZ2, which is slightly slower than underflowed one, but if the difference is less than it takes me to perform death, should I prefer the underflowless version? For example, here it was clearly faster to not use underflow… (upd) I beat TheYogWog’s ring attack on Angel Island zone by 15 seconds, and my testrun is still improveable as hell. Who knows how far more it can be improved… Anyone wants to see my test ring attack? (upd 2) improveable as hell: Link to video

I have no idea who is that guy, but he published Tee-N-Tee’s TAS on his channel without any trace of info about authorship… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e0kc6DhH0h0 (upd) oh shi~, he has a lot of such runs

I’ve found a way to finish act 2 of Sonic 1: Egg Factory in 0:01.05 (yes, 1 second and 5 frames). But it’s too dirty to be abused, because it’s only in-game time so short (I found a way to reset it), the real time is normal. So I’ll just minimize the in-game time without applying this glitch. Will post the new run right here soon, until then enjoy this screenshot. (upd) okay. Instead of posting on YouTube, I decided to make it downloadable. I hope you enjoy this TAS, which is almost-optimized now (though I realized two minor mistakes after finishing it — but I don’t care much, it’s still fast as hell =). Apologies about file size, I’m too lazy to read stuff like encoding guidelines. If someone wants a gmv, here it is. (upd2) fixed the mistakes, saved 1 more in-game second. Will post the resulting run (which I rate as having “submittable” quality) tomorrow. (upd3) updated the link above (upd4) FYI if you get a gravity glitch (some TASers call it slope glitch — it is the same) before act 2, you can beat act 2 even faster. However, the method of getting it, which I used for a test, is way too slow — I loose a lot more in act 1 than I gain in act 2 from it.

Thanks. On YouTube, there is DMTM’s comment:
DMTM wrote:
I seeing alot of improvements. Metropolis act 3 can be done quicker etc. Hit the top of the capsule and spindash back to the left to remove the animals quicker and spindash back agenst the switch. Kiske did do a nice improvement of the Casino Night Zone Act 2 that I found out. =POverall few frames more to save is my opinion and a good run.
So, I’m repeating the words I said many times before: NO, this will not save time. It saves time only in 2P mode, when the second player can hit the capsule almost completely offscreen, and thus there remain only a few animals to deal with. And they all can be (easilly or not, I do not know) forced to go to the right side, to disappear very quickly. In 1P mode, yes, the right side can be done shorter, but you still have to deal with all the animals, and you cannot shorten the left side. So, it’s useless — looking up is a lot better (where it can be applied). Kiske did it right. But well, there actually are some possible improvements. For example, the very beginning of Wing Fortress zone: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=425452#425452

So besides sticking the loadable sections from the DLL into process memory, and applying the fixes from the RELOC section, and calling the entry point, what else is there to do to manually load a DLL?

I guess that TAS block on AGDQ resulted in some weird gossip… And some people probably think that the runs were done by the TASbot itself, lol.
