Hey everyone! Once again: Massive shoutouts to @jarlyk for creating this, as well as allowing me to take a look at it. Go check out his channel! Also, I want to say, that this will probably be the last TAS breakdown/reaction i post onto my channel, as i wanna focus on more original content that feels less leech-y off of other people's hard work. Reaction content is okay as long as you're able to add some interesting insight into it, which I feel I am as a speedrunner, but i still don't want my channel to be just that, if that makes sense. Have a wonderful day!

My favorite definition of a non-science fiction robot is a type of automated machine that can execute specific tasks with little or no human intervention and with speed and precision, and as a TAS is essentially a coded run in which every frame is pre-determined which is then set to run (fun fact, the creator of this TAS actually made an anecdote about one of his TAS’s after being set to run while he wasn’t looking I guess had accidentally activated the Crystal Guardian fight and… died because it wasn’t coded to do that fight lol) it exactly fits that definition.

I don't think I see TASes that often that treat them as an entertainment medium. They all focus on speed in the categories, which is fun to watch, but things like the PnP replays and hitting geo mounds just to give himself something to dodge for fun come off as rare. I'd like to think it's a side effect of the community memeing so hard during the wait for Silksong that we've risen a new art form.
@jarlyk
Жыл бұрын
I think of all forms of speedrunning as a type of art. Typical speedrunning is primarily a performance art, especially with the ubiquity of streaming, as people gather to watch skilled performers demonstrate their skill while simultaneously entertaining the audience with the resulting performance and, often, accompanying commentary. TASing, then, is akin to highly produced studio output, using powerful tools to achieve results that live human performers could never do. Modern produced music is comprised of dozens of carefully arranged and manipulated layers of sound, often with multiple recordings of the same voices and instruments, with carefully 'comped' vocal parts to create the illusion of an almost perfect performance. If typical TASes are pop productions, then, I like to think of ridiculous things like this as akin to hyperpop, taking the extreme perfection and dialing it up to absurd levels, such that any illusion of it being a human performance is utterly shattered. On a related note, let me shill another video that has some geo dodging that didn't make it into the TAS route. (: kzitem.info/news/bejne/s6-hm6BsoZWrZWU
@QwixLF

I have watched dozens of TASes on as many games, and I find the most entertaining bursts of gameplay come from TASers that are willing to screw around during segments when they're forced to wait for even a few frames. Like a really zealous drum solo, or a fun flourishing yoyo trick. It didn't need to happen, and might be inefficient, but it makes for extremely entertaining viewing. And consider the extra shilling effective. There's a dearth of TASes of these short bursts of showing off, most everything is full runs of a category, which depending on the game strip it down so far it stops being interesting to watch because of how much it abuses glitches to the demerit of the viewer. Things like end credit warp in Super Mario World or ACE in OoT. Those are fine to think about and marvel at how contorted the witchcraft is behind them, but they are very poor pieces of entertainment in the moment. And I disagree about the stripping of the illusion of a human hand, there's an underlying perfectionistic insanity inherent to this that an AI would never try for if told to learn a game and perfect it. That special spark of human insanity that says "Because it's there."

I'd love to see a "0 Geo left" run where you need to balance your Geo count perfectly on items you want throughout the run. It'd be such a fun category because of differing strats based on speed and what every individual is good at. Strats wise, where do you get an exact amount of geo from (because if you're one off, you need to grind for one more item to not have any geo left) and when do you grind for the geo to not have a massive block of grinding and then what's essentially a 0 Geo run for the rest of the game? What items would people plan on buying? That question is really fun to think abt for me because it could vary so massively depending on player's different strengths. On the other hand, a normal speedrun where you get what you need and just avoid all other geo would probably be the fastest route, but it's still fun to think about since there's more room for variation.
