7:08 This is even more powerful than moonwalking. It’s amusing how the run was fairly normal until Level 5. 9:59 THERE IT IS!

It's getting to the point that Simon is breaking reality to defeat Dracula.

Jesus, this run is legend. Use of the boomerang is out of this world, kills and item drops everywhere. Those boss crits are the next big advance in gameplay, and the Dracula fight? Bravo!

Haha wow!! Those manipulations or whatever you call it is freaking amazing!! I loved seeing all of these shortcuts i never knew were possible

Suggestion. Anytime there is a new run with a lower time, have a thumbnail video playing in an up corner, like some speed runners do, of the previous play through to show and compare the newer strats.

As far as I understand there's a bug/mechanic in the game (idk for sure) called critical hit. If you damage an enemy on the same frame you get hit it'll do massive damage. Enough to oneshot the bat and Medusa but needs a few more hits for Dracula. For the Mummies, overlapping enemies behave a bit weird. If you hit two enemies while they are over each other they take damage every frame.

This is flat out amazing. What causes the new stage layouts and are any of those possible thru a human player?

@DruidVorse

3 жыл бұрын

It's TAS-only, you have to spam certain inputs on certain frames in order to mess up the layout of the level. According to Scrimpeh: "The game only updates the screen every second frame, so by making the camera move only on the other frame, you can keep the level data that was in the area before around." "It needs 6 frames to load one complete 32 pixel column essentially, the game checks if simon moves and it has to load the next tiles. If you just stand still when the scroll engine checks if simon is moving, no tiles are loaded normally that's no problem, because simon takes 32 frames to cross a column, so it should be done after 12 frames of constant movement." According to Challenger: "About the stair glitch, that was done through the previous glitch.

I am not much of a speedrunner myself, but there is a trick called "critical hit", if you hit the boss at the exact same frame that you take damage, you will deal more damage to the boss.

Now, you see, this is what you get when you overload the RAM of the NES. It's how the End Game trick works in Mario 3. You make the RAM think something else is going on, and it allows you to pull off some wacky things.

From what I understand, there is a way that you can manipulate exactly which items are dropped by individual enemies if you understand the specific pattern and if they are killed only by a specific weapon at a specific time. Notice how Simon also receives the invisibility potion at opportune times as well. It's nearly impossible for a human player to calculate this in real-time... Similar to counting cards in Blackjack.

Hit the enemy at same frame enemies hits you will trigger the simon damage. Simon have s, enemies does not. So it will cause damage the amount of Attack instance simon is stand. He manip the block respawns, This way he can force a huge Attack instance manip of damage. For a human unique enemy who can die with one Hit like that is THe bat. Because it has stairs and on stairs simon doesn't take knockbacks. You can realize that simon never take knockbacks on stairs or when blocks are shorts each others

I thought this was a reupload at first.

He has time to moonwalk and whoop Dracula that’s awesome.

Memory manipulation. The game runs a check on simon's whip on a specific frame, dealing damage to the enemy. If simon gets hit during that specific frame, the game bugs out and doesn't stop dealing damage until simon recovers from his stunlock. I may be wrong and maybe he's using a different strategy but that's what it looks like.
