Er... I really can't see the resemblance, besides the X in the center. (@ X-bawks controllers)
Even the best player is limited by the speed of his fingers, or his mind's ability to control them. But what happens when speed is not a factor, when theory becomes reality?

I did a testrun a couple weeks ago after figuring out about frame advancing. Its not that good, but at least you can see how quickly you can aim and move if you were to make it a TAS-like run. Check it out:

I also just made a Chamber 19 test run, using the old way of portaling down the hall ways. These are just testruns, so I end up wasting a few frames while turning and shooting the portals.

Well, it's just been proven that a Portal TAS would consist of roughly a minute of gameplay and about 6-8 minutes of waiting for the cutscenes to end. :\
Thanks for the testruns, though, they're awesome and confusing while they last.

Well, i'm going to be doing a normal speedrun using OoB glitches soon. But, if I ever did a TAS, it would mostly consist of standing in the elevator the whole time. I'm highly considering it, since its not difficult to do. I wouldn't have a website or anything to submit it to :'(.

In that case, I bet most people would prefer it if there was a cutsceneless avi.

Yeah, I could easily just edit out the video every time the elevator door closes, and then start it up when it opens. That would work.

Wouldn't that be kind of "cheating"? You would be getting a much shorter video than the speedrun really was. (The TAS community has always been trying to make clear that we never cheat eg. by video editing tricks, so this could be seen as controversial.)

Yeah, obviously there would be 2 different videos. The no-elevators one would be for people who just want to see the action.

Marx, you do realize you're responding to over 4 years old messages, right?

<dwangoAC> This is a TAS (...). Not suitable for all audiences. May cause undesirable side-effects. May contain emulator abuse. Emulator may be abusive. This product contains glitches known to the state of California to cause egg defects.
<Masterjun> I'm just a guy arranging bits in a sequence which could potentially amuse other people looking at these bits
<adelikat> In Oregon Trail, I sacrificed my own family to save time. In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

SDA uses different timing rules. Note that some SDA runs are segmented (saving at some points throughout the run). Those runs are allowed to "cut" at some loading scenes, if that's what you mean.
Also, do not ever call SDA as cheaters. You are making yourself look very bad right now.
