Bubba69 Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Its scripted by people, probably using an emulator for testing. It takes advantage of a bunch of glitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 there was a zelda:LTTP one i saw which took advantage of the fact that a room very near the start of the game is adjacent to the final room in the game, and the fact that if you hold up+down at the same time you can walk through walls. obviously this can be emulated, but it works with a real controller if you open it up as well.

playbynumbers Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 TAS runs are just as entertaining as the human-based kind, just in a different way ... i don't understand why all the antagonism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 speeddemosarchive.com is like my favorite site. I'll take this opportunity to plug my own speed run, which is on their site: Battletoads (without warping) Holy shit, dude! How many hours did you put into that thing? The work on the third level is masterful. Jesus Christ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braintree Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I used to be able to beat the Genesis version of Beavis and Butthead in about 18 minutes. I can still beat Mega Man 2 in about 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The work on the third level is masterful. Jesus Christ. Thanks! I put quite a bit of hours into it.....but to be honest, my main motivation was to complete the game without dying (which I still haven't done...) . I used all the skill I'd acquired from that though to slaughter the then-current speedrun records for battletoads within 4 weeks or so once I actually started playing fast.... Check this out, by complete coincidence, an article about speedrunning was featured today in The Escapist Magazine featuring loads of chaps from SDA (including me!)... http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/v...of-Speedrunning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
