Hey, I remember you posting about it on discord a year ago. You went radio silent on it, so I thought you stopped. Glad you both managed to finish it. Congrats!
This is the debut submission of Mother 3 on TASVideos, improving on sprocket2006’s previous effort by 15 minutes and surpassing the current RTA glitchless record by 50 minutes using previously unthought of strategies, optimizations, and manipulation. The RTA time of this run is 4:56:27
1. There's glitches in this game? :o I searched the entire submission notes, and the only one mentioned was the save one.
2. How does RTA time this? 50 minutes faster but 4:56?
RNG Manipulation / Select Cancels Because of Mother 3’s usage of dynamic memory, RAM Watch can’t really be used to any benefit. Combat RNG isn’t determined by frames, but rather rolled when you select the enemy or action. You can select the target and then wait for however long and the RNG won’t change. We manipulate RNG in this game through repeated selection and cancellation of a certain action or enemy, which allows the RNG to change. This can be repeated until you get the desired RNG, a tactic we refer to as ‘select cancelling’.
Did you use any scripts to display information at least? Did you just trailed and errored every fight?
1. There is the “newgame+ glitch” which allows to carry over stats from an existing profile to a brand new profile. That will be the next endeavor most likely.
2. RTA times the run from selecting “New Game” to pressing “Yes” on to pull the final needle. The RTA world record is 5:47:27
3. We just trialed and errored every fight checking each select cancel manually and playing out each turn, and retrying so. The rerecords would be significantly less if we had tools to show any display information or values. Everything was done with an input editor and checked in-game
is new game plsu glitch available in fan translation? i just started playin lol
your notes resonate with me about how publishing your first TAS is an accomplishment in itself

There are a couple concerns regarding this tas.
1) So taking a look at this I feel there should be more room to be saved since you achieve 9999 four minutes before the end of the final fight. That would mean there is a lot of time available to be saved from doing lengthy finishers or combo farming. Is there a reason for the extra point farming?
2) What is going on here with the extra delays and missing hits? https://youtu.be/MYr5HdZEJW4?si=l4B68KeE9BShPXd_&t=247 ?
3) At some points you are also hitting blocking enemies for several seconds, this seems counterproductive, is there some reason for that?
1) No idea what's the base points gain that would allow me to stop earlier.
2) For combo farm
3)Enemy wasn't opening up to actual hits that allow for combos

blockstun is absurd in this game, and most moves the CPU was doing were pretty slow to block or to get hit by and then strike back

you could still go faster to the trainer tower challenge, but i think it's weird the level of restrictions being put into the game

the content of this video shows the possibility of having a glitched category for round 2, since you can activate national dex ruby sapphire and elite4 round2 without actually doing the requirements, you could also get early mewtwo to stomp fights, this way you skip sevii islands rocket quest ruby sapphire and collecting all 60 pokemon

knuckles can dig both invencibility AND speed shoes... but there's no diggable terrain in emerald coast act1 probably because it wasn't planned... i also tried alternating A and B which makes knuckles hover but also cuts his horizontal speed which is useless unless you want to just avoid falling

ex groove allows for different combos that can stun later so i can do more hits before stunning and also allows for other combo enders, both runs are still verification movie based so i figured "why not?"

I'm admin in the SA2B/SADX TAS discord. I'm not sure how to verify your phone to discord, but I could try sending you an invite over DM if that can circumvent the issue?
also any news on AMY TAS? Gamma or BIG instead?
My Amy Story TAS hasn't been worked on since 2021, but I'm sure I'll get around to it someday... I have TAS IL record in all 3 of her stages if you want to check out the IL TASes.
Regarding Knuckles: I don't really know much about his specific toolkit, but it looks pretty limited. He doesn't really have any actions that build speed, so you'd be stuck using geometry and unique circumstance to capture or maintain speed. His punch is slow, his jump is slow, his roll is mediocre, and his glide feels limited. On the other hand, I'm not sure that anyone has extensively looked into TAS-only exploits with Knuckles. He might have undiscovered tech.
Not sure about digging up speedshoes, etc. Not my area of expertise.
the invitation didn't work!!

hi i cant enter sonic adventure discord, for no good reason my phone doesn't verify, if someone can help me with that, thanks in advance!
i have a few questions:
does knuckle dig speed shoes in action stages? if so, is it all or only some?
does he have speed or gaining height glitches or something that enables to him gather speed somehow? any glitch that disables killzones?
i was considering testing the knuckles in emerald coast completion challenge without cheats but it seems pretty clear to me you would need some kind of setup in act 1 to reach the act's end with extra height or speed that would allow him to avoid the killzone?
also any news on AMY TAS? Gamma or BIG instead?

I'm just reposting information:
Link to video
this is auchgard LOTAD, his comments:
the NTSC-J tech is largely "put equipment in glitched menu slot to spawn OP equipment in other corresponding glitched menu slot, use OP equipment, break video game"
I had some interest in doing an any% glitchless LOTAD but just never got around to it. also started on a second LOTAD of any% but dropped it due to life heating up
my any% RTA route notes are here: https://pastebin.com/jnf4Bg75
The Glitchless run is a lot longer because of normal weapons being weaker.

Don't you know how many times you opted to use a more entertaining strat rather than a faster one? Like maybe once or a few times in some levels, or never in others? Or more?
i have no idea if i'm going faster by choosing K groove, using the defensive strats, or using the aggressive strats, all that is known is that PARRY and JD adds points, going faster adds points, bigger combos add more points, but if the time spent in one activity or the other is better, i have no idea, everything indicates that combos and parry are better to get points, as this is the first time the 9999 points were recorded, but i don't know if i should keep parrying more or ending the rounds faster.

Can you give a rough approximation of how much faster it would have been if it didn't aim for entertainment at all?
no idea at all, nobody has gone for SCORE and time both at the same time, it's not known how fast you can achieve a HIGH SCORE, even the groove selection could be argued it could be better depending on how you want to build the score, K is very defensive and i could have used both A and P groove for easier and faster 1 combo kills, but i'm not sure that's faster than K groove multiple counters
and then super or combo
best example of fast round is 14:07 raiden, but you can see the gauge is already a bit filled
