But how am I gonna *microphone pops loudly and scratches for about 10 seconds* Interesting video, but yeah the commentary was pretty annoying in all the moments where it wasn't informative... Which, given the 3 hour runtime, was quite often.

Don't listen to the haters. I enjoyed your video keeta, thumbs up! I was really surprised to see some of the glitches for the first time.

This is the sort of TAS, when optimized, would be a good candidate for the proposed "demo" from the Vault Tier Discussion thread. This is impressive and shows a variety of glitches not normally seen otherwise thanks to the limitation, but is not entertaining enough for "moons", unfortunately because of the limitation.

Actually I loved the commentary, quite cool, this is hard to comment a video of 3h guys. Posting this video on TASvideo will be hard in my opinion because the restriction is kinda pointless, however the glitches are still incredible and the video really cool to watch (with or without sound)

I was not such a big fan of the commentary, but not because the commentary itself was bad, but because of all the other background noise that the mic picked up. That and the fact that the video wasn't very impressive without a little more optimized movement. Optimized movement is one of the coolest things in TASes.

That run was very impressive, I just love technical accomplishments like this. It's ridiculous how this challenge is just barely possible at some points because the games design works in its favor - just as if it was a puzzle that the developers deliberetaly put in the game. After I got used to the style of the commentary, I actually enjoyed it. I really don't care about the technical issues, I would have probably not even noticed them if people wouldn't have pointed them out.

Why the pause buffering before entering Clock Town?

Unless I'm mistaken about what pause buffering you're referring to, that's done to skip a cutscene.

You have to buffer that, that's what makes the trick work.

It's an old trick that was discovered after the first TAS. It basically skips the HMS from talking to you the first time. Link to video Basically, it takes 2 frames for the HMS to start, but pausing resets that. Therefore you can keep pausing to skip it, as pausing lets you advance the game a frame at a time. Edit: Oh yeah, super hyped for this TAS. Forgot to say that. So...yeah. Keep reading the topic or whatever.

effort on the first draft means less effort on any draft thereafter - some loser

Hey, I got a question. Is there a TAS route for 100% including the bomber's notebook?

There isn't a 100% route. If there was, the bombers notebook content wouldn't be part of it.

Aw. Why? That seems to include quite a number of sidequests. Although I must admit it must be a pain to plan, but hey, that doesn't always stop others
