What is the biggest challange/problem with the new any% TAS?
No specific problem, 3D zeldas are just extremely demanding to optimize.
I am curious about the technical difficulties presented by the new tricks discovered since the last run. And if the new tricks had any unforseen consequenses.
My guess is that you are wrong, there are probably many specific problems as well as OoT being extremely demanding to optimize.
There are no real problems, Bloob and I simply only TAS when we really feel like doing so. We did all new tricks already and while they were indeed pretty complex to do, I think we did a really good job and optimizing them to the max. That should also give you enough information to know how far we are into the run :P
But yes, going for total optimization is indeed quite hard, there are many places where you can't even know whether something is 100% optimal or not.
The castle collapse cutscene completely destroyed our entire motivation. We simply can't tie the manipulation of my old run and combined with the fact, that this is the most boring and annoying shit ever to TAS (makes cuccos feel like the most enjoyable thing you've ever done) we didn't really work much on the run for the last like 1,5 months......I just started doing attempts again, so pray that the game will be nice to us today.....

Care to elaborate on what was incompatible? Since you mentioned the cutscene, is this run done on Mupen? Since the submission text mentioned about desync errors caused by it.
Synching is not the main problem. It makes it more annoying, because you always have to play the movie back from a certain point to see what time you really got. This takes some time, of course. But the main problem is, that the lag of the cutscene can be manipulated by random inputs right before the cutscene starts. The differences are huge. The difference between the fastest and slowest possible manipulation are up to 300 frames (5 seconds). The fastest we got yet, is a manipulation that is 18 frames slower than the one I had in my old run. Seems like I was extremely lucky back then.
Can we see the movie so far? I mean how many frames ahead are you? It would be sad for all this tasing to go unseen I mean I doubt you'll tie your previous manipulation (according to your post)...
I remember getting huge differences in lag during cutscenes with majoras mask but when I would play the file back I would get a bunch of desyncs back then so I don't know if what you are observing is actually true or just the emulation being buggy...
If there's nothing stopping you from finishing besides the cutscene then go with whatever you have so far. I mean, frames gained/lost during that cutscene are basically arbitrary and could be due to emulator inaccuracies/etc and certainly won't be perceivable by viewers :)

I'm just curious now on what emulator is the TAS using. :o

And 18 frames lost due to cutscene is something I bet nobody would care for.

Depending how inconsistent the lag is, losing time could save time in the long run, like it was done in Kirby's Adventure. Else you would need to either brute-force (guess not) the segment or ignore the time loss.
