About the Game

Boxing is a 2022 homebrew game made by Mikebloke for the Fairchild Channel F. It’s quite self-explanatory and is somewhat similar to Atari’s Boxing game from 1980. It’s a 2 player game where the goal is to land as many punches on each other in a 3 minute in-game timer. The player with the most points (1 point per punch) wins.

About the TAS

This TAS aims to max out the score at 999 as fast as possible, playing as P1. Due to the Channel F’s strange design, P1 (blue) is on the right and P2 (red) is on the left.

Strategy

The strategy here is to get both boxers as close to each other as possible while getting P2 to X=0 (the left side of the ring). This is lag efficient and ensures that P1 can land all 999 punches consecutively. Due to the Channel F processing inputs much slower than its framerate, each punch takes, on average, 17 frames (16 frames has approximately a 1/75 chance).

And That’s It!

I’m honoured to be the first person to submit something for the new oldest console on TASVideos, as well as the first ever cartridge-based console. Kudos to Asnivor for making Channel F TASing possible.
I don’t have anything else to say about this TAS, so that’s all for now. Thanks for reading.

I just found a trick that allows for no movement delays and to land all 999 punches consecutively. I’ll start implementing this improvement tomorrow.

I am completely blind, so sound is all I have for TAS runs. The sound in this game is annoying and very repetitive. I'm sure this run (or rather, the 2.07 second improvement) is optimized, but I'm giving this a no vote for the terrible sound.
DJ Incendration Believe in Michael Girard and every speedrunner and TASer!
