I got the itch to TAS a THPS/THUG game and eventually went with THUG2. Started this morning on Story Mode Easy, as it was the category that the THPS community really wanted to see.
So far I've completed Boston and Barcelona, almost half-way through the game.
My WIP thus far:

Progress update:
Re-doing the game, Boston was just way too unoptimized.
I've saved 8 frames so far in the menus up to loading Boston. Should be able to shave off at least a few seconds in Boston, and hopefully save some time in Barcelona.
You need a higher score in certain goals and you need more career points to unlock the next level.
Anyways, new WIP for Boston:

Saves about 2.5 seconds from the previous WIP for Boston. The second half from Ben onwards seems sloppy from a second look, so I'll probably be re-doing it but the route is going to be the same.
i'd prefer this to use the hard setting,dats just me
I want all good TAS inside TASvideos, it's my motto.
TAS i'm interested:
Megaman series, specially the RPGs! Where is the mmbn1 all chips TAS we deserve? Where is the Command Mission TAS?
i'm slowly moving away from TASing fighting games for speed, maybe it's time to start finding some entertainment value in TASing.

The only differences between Easy and Sick is the score needed for some goals and the amount of goals needed to complete a level. Everything else is the same

If I remember correctly, some goals are harder and the requirements for improving your stats are also higher.
Current project: Gex 3 any%
Paused: Gex 64 any%
There are no N64 emulators. Just SM64 emulators with hacky support for all the other games.

You're right for the stats, but the only goals with harder requirements is the score related goals

Australia completed, skip to 4:06 for Australia.
Found a new trick/strat where if you somehow bail when reaching the arcade, you can skip the delay waiting to start the run. In this case, I hopped into a police officer who will knock you down if you go near him.
Sound goes out of sync in Australia
I thinmk the player is harder to make it fall down also. Sometimes you nwere almost perpemdicular amd didn't fall down.
Jesse (the dude in the scooter) is a character by design to never be able to bail. Ever.
I was talking about the skateboard players.
I thought you were too much perpendicular that, from my experience with THPS3,THPS4 and THAW, you should have fell down. I also recall that difficulty change a tiny bit the physics so you bail less often.
However, I may be biased as every Tony Hawk's game is different and my memory is not perfect.
