Metal Slug 3 lv8 speedrun last stage - Safe & Fast strat
This is a demo of a strat that I find safe and fast enough. Strangely I haven't seen people using similar strats when playing this last stage of Final Mission. Hope this strat can help speedrunners who'd really challenge MS3 lv8 speedrun. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J54un-h60ig
Update with new WR (4:55.913): https://youtu.be/ZZ5GzGldoHI
Comparison video of the current world records of SMB.
TAS (Tool-Assisted Speedrun, human playing with emulator assistance, not in real time) WR: https://youtu.be/tdMHOXRX08o
RTA (Real Time Attack, human playing in real-time) WR: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wf9zPeN2va4
The timing difference makes RTA record seem shorter than TAS record, but still, it's close enough.
TAS saves time in 1-2, 4-2, 8-1, 8-2 & 8-4, using faster acceleration, going through the wall, flagpole glitch, etc. Darbian ties with TAS in 1-1, 4-1 & 8-3 using flagpole glitch.
TAS is NOT programming. It's human creating exciting movies using emulators.
None of the two runs uses "cheats" of any kind. For any questions, check out darbian's tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PInZ2-qfKEU

SMB The Mystery of Luigi (ルイージの謎), a superb Super Mario Bros. hack by ATA.
This is the 3rd TAS I made for this hack, an 195 frame improvement over the last version. Main improvements come from two damage clips. Time-saving adjustments have been made for various rooms.
The TAS aims for the fastest time getting the good ending. Of course this hack can be completed without any glitch, and there are two bad endings if Mario hasn't rescued Luigi.

New TAS project, for the Mega Man fans. This would be a long TAS, so I'll break it into 5 parts. This is part 2 of 5, including Volcano (Magma Dragoon), Jungle (Web Spider), & Colonel.
The Ultimate Armor is a special armor that is obtainable by inputting secret code on the Title Screen. Regular speedrun and TAS don't allow this, but this TAS is meant for showing this special way of beating this game.
The run gets crazier and more complicated. If you like this project, please like and comment, so I can keep it going.

I make this montage because Man In The Mirror in Bad Tour is one of Michael's best performance, yet the only full pro footage we have is the Wembley DVD, which I don't like in terms of video quality and etc. Man In The Mirror in blue shirt is my favorite, but there is very limited footage with blue shirt, mostly backstage clips, amateur recordings, and short and fragmentary clips from Moonwalker. I'd like to see what we can get if we put the best we have together.

Comparison video of the two current world records of SMB, featuring Niftski's new WR.
TAS (Tool-Assisted Speedrun, human playing with emulator assistance, not in real time) WR: https://youtu.be/tdMHOXRX08o
RTA (Real Time Attack, human playing in real-time) WR: https://youtu.be/Khu9BB2g4Ks
TAS is overall only 0.6 seconds (36 frames) faster than RTA. Over the years, talented speedrunners have reduced time difference between TAS and RTA many times. Niftski is the first RTA player who tied with the TAS going into 8-4.
Although TAS seems to be faster in many places, no actual time difference happens before 8-4 due to 21-frame rule of this game.
TAS is NOT programming, NOT AI related. It's a special speedrun category in which human creating exciting movies using emulators.
Neither of the run uses "cheats" of any kind. Check out Bismuth's tutorial for more information: https://youtu.be/_FQJEzJ_cQw
