Yeah, I went into this knowing it was a vault run at best.
It was a fun thing to TAS, using GBAHawk for the first time, getting one last completed TAS before year's end!
There's a spot where I know you did it like my speedrun, but as I watch it again I question whether I missed a possible faster move.
Starting at 34:31, I wonder if it's faster to drain out the water from the bucket, use Aang's Air Gust to move the thing instead of pulling it through the entire puzzle. It IS possible to do, I just don't know whether it's faster or not.

Hey Sir VG :) I think I PMed you a long time ago about taking over this TAS from you but you never replied.
That part would need some testing. As I do something similar in the fire dungeon (@14:14).
Another Spot that I noticed was slow was the Earthbender Boss, The last round I place him on the lower right vent, when I should have placed him Top Right so I would be closer to the Finish after killing him.

From a technical standpoint, I like the TAS and appreciate the effort put into it, but I always found the game to be a bit boring for the most part.
Personally, I think the second game would make for a better TAS honestly. From what I've dabbled with there's quite a number more skips and clipping opportunities in that. But I digress... Meh.
I have to agree with TehBerral. It was nice seeing the optimized movement and quick fights, but the slow movement speed and all its puzzles made it not so entertaining. Voting Meh.

Could you make a topic for it and share what you've found? I was thinking of running that one sometime (preferably on mGBA when it's ready for TASing).

Sure, once I get a moment, but it's just a couple small things so far. I hadn't found much besides being able to avoid an enemy spawn here or there, or clipping though a moving obstacle once or twice. Nothing major, but I haven't gotten that deep into the game.
Doing the second and third avatar were something I was thinking about after finishing this one.
Technically I wanted to attempt the GameCube Avatar Game, but dolphin seems to have a problem with it (it could have been a bad rom though).

Oops, then I'll let you have it. The game's thread should be near the top of the GBA Games subforum. I'll be following your progress, since I used to enjoy playing this when I was younger.
