[TAS] Sonic Adventure 2 "Hero Story A-Ranks" in
Ойындар
DISCLAIMER: This is over 4 minutes slower than the 2014 Hero Story TAS! My title is written as IGT, while the 2014 TAS is written in RTA. If you want a more optimal TAS (that however does not focus on 180 Emblems), go here: • [HD 16:9] Sonic Advent... Thanks and enjoy the video!
IGT: 23:25.75 -- 4:51.23 faster than the 180 Emblems World Record.
RTA: 36:40.38 -- ~0:58 faster than the 180 Emblems WR.
.dtm file: tasvideos.org/userfiles/info/6...
Recorded on Dolphin 4.0-4222 Lua Build. 16756 rerecords total.
This is not very optimal. A good, optimal TAS would be under 23 minutes. This run is optimized for 180 Emblems speedruns. This is part of the 180 Emblems LOTAD I am making.
This is a project that I started for fun. You can find all of my SA2B TASes in this playlist: • Playlist
Looking at it, you can see how I haven't done much at all. I only did a few levels before I started working on this monstrously big project. I am very inexperienced with TASing in this game. You can see improvements as the TAS goes on, but I am still very much a novice at TASing this game. Because of this, this TAS will not meet all expectations. I do some TAS Bouncing, for example, but I don't do it all that much. I limit myself in the areas where I TAS bounce.
As time progresses and I get more comfortable with TAS bouncing, you will also see me do it more and more. Next up is Dark Story, so I will not be touching the Bounce Bracelet whatsoever in the next few months until we finally reach Last Story. I will have to start from the beginning again when I reach Sonic's section for Cannon's Core, but I will get better!

Edit 10: ok to be honest I got distracted with other stuff (namely Mario & Luigi: Dream Team ROM hacking), sorry no Prison Lane this month :( Edit 9: I can't pin this comment anymore :( also 1:12.32 City Escape - kzread.info/dash/bejne/iJ9pq9OspNjRmKw.html I know this was 2 years ago but Prison Lane video will be out by the end of this month January 2024 I promise!!!!1111111 love you all :) Edit 8: 400,000 views is a lot of views... it's actually at 420,050 right now lol and also thanks again also I am skipping edit number 7 muahahaha I'll be continuing the TAS don't worry, you can find updates on PixiuTAS' channel Edit 6: 200,000 views is a lot of views... achieved the same day I became an aunt. Wonder if it means anything.... also, thank you all! Edit 5: 100,000 views is a lot of views. EDIT 4: City Escape in 1:18.87 - it has officially begun! kzread.info/dash/bejne/qmR32NWoo5WyotY.html also damn 85k views is a hell of a lot of views lol EDIT 3: Thank you for 10k views btw!! I find it so cool to see the number at 10k views so thank you you're all awesome :) I'm working on City Escape still! And it will be at least 7 seconds faster than the City Escape in this run, it's beautiful :) EDIT: New TAS process has officially begun and after only 25 seconds I'm already 0.80 seconds faster! :D EDIT 2: You can find the progression of the new TAS here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/m4Z1laSNpLHQaKg.html - I will try to upload every single day when I'm done with TASing for the day. Currently I have 30 seconds of City Escape done, spanned over two days, which I uploaded and put in that playlist. Original comment: I would like to post an update on the 180 Emblems TAS (as of October 23rd 2021). I haven't been working on the TAS for a while mostly because of a lack of time and motivation. Soon I would have an actual schedule so I can plan when I can TAS in the schedule. I will probably restart the TAS from scratch using a save file to get the Tails chao (It saves around 9 minutes, so... Useful to me!), and I aim to redo Hero Story by the end of next February. I should have every single story done by the end of 2022, assuming I can start TASing next November. Do realize that this project is a seriously big project, even when you don't optimize everything (And if you do optimize everything, expect to finish the run in 20 years!). I only started making this project because of a philosophy I have: if you want to see something but it doesn't exist, do it yourself. That's exactly why I started this TAS. And I still want to see it, and everytime I think about the TAS I do get a tiny bit of motivation. I will probably finish it one day. Just gotta be patient I guess. I will release an update of the TAS once I reach Green Forest or something. I will make Green Forest the benchmark simply because if I post an update at City Escape, I may still decide to go back to this TAS you can see in this video and give up the updated TAS in favor of efficiency, but if I make it at Green Forest I'll be pretty confident I can finish the entire TAS' Hero Story. Anyway, that's all from me. In case you haven't seen them yet, here are some of the levels from after this point: City Escape M2 to M5: kzread.info/dash/bejne/l6WGqduzdpa1qqg.html Iron Gate M1: kzread.info/dash/bejne/c5p1yLSafZTZirA.html Sand Ocean M1: kzread.info/dash/bejne/k35kqKyPYt3eY9o.html

As someone who is used to seeing runners breeze through the mech stages with E ranks, it was kinda cathartic to watch Tails picking up all those Perfect 2000s in a run, epsecially Eternal Engine. Also, scoring two extra hits on Egg Golem instead of the traditional dive into the sand was exceptionally cool.

@@backlogrob8358 TAS stands for “Tool Assisted Speedrun.” It’s when the runner uses various tools to make the game easier to speedrun, such as resetting, freeze framing for precision jumps, button presses, etc., and for manipulating things like random number generators in the runners favor. It is essentially a way to show the best possible way to play a game, but often only at inhuman levels of precision, speed, and reflex.

Absolute insanity on how patient they were, and they didn't even have the tools we have now, making their TAS all that much more crazy. It's the TAS I respect the most because of it.

I did not beat the OG TAS actually -- I guess this isn't very clear at all now I think about it and I'm sorry about that. The OG TAS had a 18:02 IGT, while this TAS had a 23:25 IGT. The difference between my title and the other TAS' title is that I used IGT while they used RTA. That's over 5 minutes slower. I estimate a good 180 Emblems-Hero Story TAS would be MAYBE a 21, but probably a low 22. I'm 9 seconds ahead leaving City Escape currently in a new version of the TAS. There is an extremely low chance the old 2014 TAS can be beaten while getting all A Ranks, and the only reason there is a chance to begin with is because the current TASers of the game have advanced a lot since then and because there is a trick in Eternal Engine called Bofa (for the fact you hit bofa (both of) the boxes) which saves about 32 seconds in TAS, but even then you'd have to spend half a minute whistle glitching and only save like 5 seconds. We'd have to be lucky to get sub 20 lol I guess we'll see when Hero Story is done... ...Except Hero Story won't be done until the end of Dark Story because of a new route that requires you to do Dark Story after half of Hero Story lol. So by the time Hero Story is done, Last Story will be done very shortly after :) Also this comment is long sorry

Fun fact: Shadow's AI was not programmed to detect bouncing, so this is completely doable RTA to just bounce off of him :) now you can get easy 30 second fights
Who is this TAS player? He seems to be the best at every game he plays, utterly amazing.
Hey Sonic, you'd better go around. You don't have enough physics to get up to the Egg Golem. Sonic: Physics? Where we're going, we don't need...physics.
7:32 15 seconds. Fire.
When I think of people speedrunning Sonic games, I think of the sonic characters actually going through the stages like that.
You could tell me this was Katie4 gamplay and I'd believe it lmao Great tas!!! Amazing job
u ate this up babe great job!
Haven't seen an SA2 TAS since a hero story run from like 5 years ago I think? Shame there aren't more crazy TAS things between both Adventure games considering how much you can break the physics and how much freedom you have in movement
It's cool how much of it is the same route as most speed runners take. As far as tas only tricks I could see, mostly the bounce bracelet stuff lol
very fun that one of the few cutscenes that doesn't get skipped is the iconic cutscene before fighting shadow
Most Powerful Sonic Adventure 2 gamer ever!

kzread.info/dash/bejne/e5mozZNmh8Wdn7w.html This video perfectly explains what a TAS is, so it might be a good watch :) Check out Katie4 for human-Goddess gameplay
maaaaan.... that trick u did on the robot golem, the one where it ends with sonic flying and the camera on him... that was so fkin cool. like, peak stuff.
Sonic TAS videos are what shows Sonic's actual speed.

Though do keep in mind that this speedrun is a TAS, meaning I played the game slowed down and I used savestates to undo any mistakes! :)
7:31 "There's a launch in 15 sec-FIRE!"
Great run
Jesus.... How? That is amazing!

Utilizing savestates and load states :) -I'll go in more depth in the next SA2 video possibly coming next week-
I really find interesting the TAS if the mech stages had those physical by default the complaints about them would have been really low
this is super cool to watch!! Somehow the only a rank i have so far is in security hall in the dark story which i was totally not expecting ti get because of how poorly I performed in that level before my last attempt

TBH I think Cosmic Wall is the easiest to get an A Rank on if you know what you're doing. If you DONT know what you're doing, Hidden Base is the easiest. Metal Harbor M4 deserves its' spot as the hardest though. If you can get that, you can probably get all the rest, lol. Glad you enjoyed :) edit: oh and the easiest hunting level to get an A Rank in is, to me, almost definitely Death Chamber, because as long as you can avoid death you're pretty much guaranteed an A Rank unless you take like 10 minutes. Actually I take it all back. The absolute easiest IL to get an A Rank in is Route 101 Mission 5. Why? Because it is literally impossible to get a B Rank or worse. You have 2:50 to complete the stage, but the A Rank requirement requires you to get 2:50 or below. Good game.
fantastic soundtrack, and atmosphere
This is really cool! Sa2 is my favorite game
Speedrun Sonic scares me. He forsakes the enjoyment of loopings in favor of a few extra seconds. He's cold, calculated and probably sees the world and its people around himself as obstacles rather than living beings.

How dare you go that fast on the first mission! I was listening to that song!
This game was way ahead of its time in all senses pumpkin hill and the whole soundtrack is great and it’s just an all around great game from raising special chao in the different chao gardens to the sick campaign gameplay can’t go wrong with this game
the knuckles and tails levels are crazy to see speedruns of since I always struggled with them as a kid lol

Tails is the most satisfying to speedrun once you know how to preserve speed :)
I choose to believe Sonic's stages are just how they canonically happened. Just fuck-you speed. Especially Final Rush.
the music is the most fitting its ever been for sonic stages XD
True sonic’s speed in this gameplay
This TAS person is a beast xD
