Level comments

  • Kazakh
Nothing changed.I tried to save time but after ~6 hours my brain started to melt so i decide to dont touch anything until it works.
  • Australia
This run doesnt die on boss.It saves time, but make new Red Dragon strat impossible.
  • Red Dragon
Here we go.Strider code is so good that you can skip all final level just by jumping one time.No jokes.

THX TO

  • biggyboy for making this awesome tas.
  • strider community for discovering awesome glitches.
  • EZGAMES69 cause i like number 69
P.S. I cant contact biggyboy so idk about his permission.

TASing is like making a film: only the best takes are shown in the final movie.

For the first 3520 frames (between submission and userfile) yes, you're faster. But somewhere after it you're slower, but then again you land on desync due to it being an update to your work. I'm displeased that this TAS isn't started from the ground up especially when you did comparisons of your own and well you did it wrong? You compared the frame 3450 with biggyboy's, MESHUGGAH and your own but let's switch out biggyboy's input with the submission's input since it shows: (Left is this movie. Right is MESHUGGAH's movie.) Whilst what you posted on Discord about your own input which did this: I had to be sure I was comparing this submission and not the current publication when I saw your progress being further than what's represented here. Here's a dirty comparison video between this and MESH's for the first 3619 frames. --- Edit: This TAS is just red flags to me with stuff that's present around the submission. Sure the game is insanely hard to optimize but isn't that the beauty of this game to take time on it especially for it being 3 minutes? I'm abstaining my vote since I honestly don't know how to feel on having something that's set out like this.

To be fair, the game is hard to optimize because of - incorporating air dashing optimally, - the weird rules for zipping (Y = 23 but not always works), - optimizing the ammount of lag frames. My probably last up to date post in the currently published movie's submission thread with correct informations: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=393619#393619

A good improvement, as with the new strat this TAS is definitely Striderer. But I think it's worthwhile to compare against previous attempts and fully optimize to become the Stridest.

Fixing the second zip wasn't hard, all you needed were a couple more frames of holding left before the last slide before the zip. Possibly improvable but there was no real reason to resort to reverting back to coolkid's publication up to this point. EDIT: Forgot to link userfile: User movie #51819915972412617
[16:36:31] <Mothrayas> I have to say this argument about robot drug usage is a lot more fun than whatever else we have been doing in the past two+ hours
[16:08:10] <BenLubar> a TAS is just the limit of a segmented speedrun as the segment length approaches zero
