They did a trainer-fly glitch then deliberately messed it up to get a trainer battle instead of any pokemon, resulting in messing up the map script in a way they could control, which they used to do arbitary code to get to the Hall of Fame.

@traeghniwwingyl8167

4 жыл бұрын

To clarify more: The game checks for random encounters before starting trainer battles. Getting a random encounter in front of a trainer, then losing, results in the trainer attempting to start battle as you're warped back to the pokemon center, working like a more RNG-dependent version of flying away from a long-range trainer as used in the standard Trainer/Fly. They then proceeded to use that to do one of the big no-nos of Trainer/Fly, which is getting a trainer battle for a trainer on that map via textbox ID matching or just picking that special. This is a big no-no because it messes up the map script which results in at best annoying glitchy sounds and the 'walking lag' effect and vanishing and reappearing sprites. But this specific map script corrupts in a way that they can manipulate, so they fight a few other trainers to corrupt it more until, combined with all the setup they've been doing with trainer names and hidden ID numbers that they can manipulate because TAS has perfect luck, the broken map script drops them in the hall of fame.

@Otacon464 the game knows where they are, the map script gets incremented to an invalid value which they manipulate more by fighting more trainers until it tries to run an item ball textbox as code, this sends the code execution on a journey that ends with it running code tasbot wrote with the trainer name, a little bit of enemy pokemon data, and bulbasaur's stats and trainer ID. This code says "set player current map ID to the hall of fame, end script" in assembly code

Maybe he won't ko a level 9 Weedle in one critical hit, but Spearow can sure as hell get into the Hall of Fame at level 7.

Can someone explain how a TASBot script can play a game that has random chances? I would have thought that the game could go off-script and ruin the run, but that's obviously not the case, but I don't understand why.

@TiKevin83

4 жыл бұрын

The RNG in these games is effectively tied to a very precise definition of how long the Game Boy Player console has been on, so the game is "deterministic." We simply use that same timing to test the run in an emulator until we find the RNG we want, then it will always run the same on console.

@daniguess

4 жыл бұрын

The way I wrap my head around it is to not think of RNG as a dice rolling, but as a deck of cards. Every input/action "draws" from the deck, progressing the RNG. Once you figure out how the deck is stacked, you can manage inputs on certain frames to get the exact "draw" you want, manipulating the RNG to your favor.

So I watched the whole thing, payed very close attention, took notes, and I have NO IDEA what is happening

Lol @ the audience during the Bulbasaur remarks. XD

Memory corruption glitch you can store battles by leaving between the ! popping up and the battle actually starting (via deathwarps or fly/teleport/escape rope) which you can use to get any pokemon eg mew, or to force the game to load 'prebattle text' that does stuff, or corrupt the map script by loading a trainer's actual pre-battle text improperly which is what they did then TAS did carefully considered stuff until the map script corrupted in a useful way, pretty much everything the TAS does in this including every trainer it fights and how many frames it spent in the intro tie in to making the corrupted map script take it to the hall of fame

Niceness

Did you just say Bulbasaur is the worst starter? Really?! IMO it’s actually the best one because it’s super-effective against the first two Gyms’ types, takes half-damage from Electric, and by the time you get to one that would give you trouble (Erika), you’re already overleveled so it doesn’t matter.

Bulbasaur is the worst starter just because it's a grass type Pokemon. Grass type is by far the worst in the game because of its weaknesses and offensive moves dealing poor damage compared to water and fire types. Then you have bug types like Pinsir, Scyther, Beedrill that are much better choices and can learn better moves in general, same case for a lot of poison types. Ghost types are shit in this game (Gengar for example) but at least they haven't too many weaknesses and can pretty defend theirselves. These are the most common types that are known in general as the "worst" ones, but in reality they're not. In fact, Squirtle is your best starter choice because Blastoise > Charizard >>> Venusaur. If you choose Bulbasaur, it'll be pretty much oneshotted by almost any Pokemon in late game.

I like it

Nice

God damn

Bulbasaur is the best Gen 1 starter

I can't catch any pokemon

"Bulbasaur is the worst starter." Ackhtually... Bulbasaur has an immediate type advantage against the first two gym leaders, and doesn't have weakness to Lt. Surge, Erika, or Koga. And it has type advantage against Giovanni. Three fourths of the Elite Four don't have immediate type advantages (not taking into account each pokemon's moveset). SO... as long winded and nerdy as this comment is, Bulbasaur is actually the best starter, considering type advantages. Squirtle is second best due to it having more weaknesses in your journey through the league compared to Bulba. Charmander is the worst of the three because at best, you have a type advantage against Erika. And Lorelei. That's it.

They didn't manipulate it beforehand. They just know what to make TASBOT do in order to manip the RNG for all the events they said to happen, would happen. In order to get those events, certain frame perfect inputs have to be executed from the moment the game starts running.

@perkypears

there are plenty of RNG dependent games that get TASes, probably more than there are games that dont depend on RNG. they use TAS to manipulate the randomness. the person making the TAS will basically keep rerolling until it works (make a savestate, walk through grass, if there is an encounter then load the state, if there isnt one then keep going) and they just do that until RNG always works how they want it to. its not that they exactly edited the game itself and how the game works, its more that they sort of just rewind time at any possible imperfections until it saves a perfect timeline that can be played back in real time

Dying to a random encounter in front of an unfought trainer does a Trainer/Fly, just like flying away from that one gambler in Route 8 in the Mew Glitch variation of Trainer/Fly. Then getting a trainer battle instead of a wild pokemon with Trainer/Fly (from Special stat, the stored attempt at a battle from leaving the route, or from the last textbox ID in memory) corrupts the map script. The corrupted map script triggers another trainer fight, which corrupts the map script more. The corrupted map script spends a lot of time trying to load glitchy invisible textboxes, which is why the walking speed is so slow and why sprites are flickering in and out. One of these corrupts the map script more. Then the TAS fights another trainer, corrupting the map script so much it starts trying to run code from RAM data, which includes PC data and trainer name data. By getting a specific name, a specifc trainer ID via RNG manipulation, and a pokemon with specific data in the PC, the TAS can control what the incredibly corrupted Viridian Forest map script does and makes it wrong-warp the player to the Hall of Fame.
