Long story short: since all I seem to do is handheld, licensed games I decided to try out TASing Brother Bear.
I've only been tinkering around with this game for a couple days and I've found a few things that should make for an interesting TAS.
- Like Nightmare Before Christmas, turbo-hopping up slopes is MUCH faster than running up them.
- Attacking is horrendously slow.
- On the second screen you gain a partner that you can switch to whenever you want. If the character you're controlling runs too far away from the other, the game stops thinking about the one you aren't controlling momentarily. This allows you to run through some obstacles if you time a switch correctly. You can actually get stuck in the rock on the second screen doing this.
- Avoiding as much screen scroll as possible during the character switching is vital. For a while beginning the switch the game lags every other frame. The farther it has to travel, the more lag.
I've only roughly TASed the first two screens but would love if someone wanted to team up for this one. There seems to be a lot of potential in the movement tech.
