Hey everyone, make sure you go to neonics channel and like the TAS over there :) It’s in the description. Push it higher into the algorithm

I resented clicking this because of the thumbnail but you immediately solved that problem but no spoiler for everyone else

I wouldn't feel bad for pointing out all the micro optimisations. They're super interesting and you can't really get that info anywhere else handily!

I learned a good bit about the game watching this, and I’ve been subbed for over a year. I just realized I don’t know why you do a lot of basic concepts (like main menu warp), or things like ESS. I would love a “speedrun review” where you review your own VOD and go through what you’re doing in each mission and the tricks you’re applying. Your explanations of the origins of strats were entertaining too. Edit: 1:36:58 that 6-4 is wild

I couldn't help but chuckle at LiquidWIFI's stunned silence during the Duff Truck Mission on Level 6. 😁

The PS2 version runs like a dog on a rug, The disc is spinning at a thousand miles an hour, but the loading abr barely moves

Another banger from the world’s greatest Speedrunner Mister Tas.

Liquid is right, this is specifically a LOTAD and not a TAS by the definition he reads off of multiple times in the video

1:37:05

Really love this reaction /breakdown kind of video. It would be cool to see you breakdown other speed runners’ runs.

I would love to see the entirety of liquids TASing processes VODed, if he ends up doing one after this

47:10 I don't know how to actually push the limo there myself but from watching a few people do it, you want to get the middle lined up with the left part of that dark bit like that, so I think that's right

On a more serious note here: Liquid has to be nit-picky of everything for a TAS speedrun. Otherwise there cant be a theoretical perfect run being made in a TAS in the first place. Many TASers are knowledgable about the game, but very rarely to the same point Top-Level runners are and need the scrutiny annd constructive criticism of the Human runners to optimize even further. Human Top-Level runners know basically everything about their game, even stuff thats deemed impossible, unfeasable or otherwise not worth to do in any given speedrun category *as a Human.* TAS-Runners can safely ignore that as they are able to do every input frame-perfect and do inputs which would be physically impossible to do irl (best example here Super Mario Bros where the NES, the controller and the player cant do some inputs the TAS can do as its physically impossible) The whole dynamic between TAS-Runners and Human Runners is: Desire for TAS exists -- TAS runner creates first runs off of publicly available knowledge (many times, doesnt have to be) -- TAS gets scrutinized by Human Runners -- TAS runner rework the entire thing -- Repeat TAS-Runners spend also a shitton of time into the Speedrun, have their own leaderboards and are dependable on the Human Runners...However, many times through a TAS many more glitches, bugs and shortcuts/Timesaves are usually discovered as TAS-Runners know the game better, but on a different level and in a way compared to Human Runners. TAS are cool to watch, because they are almost always bonkers, many times funny and for Human Runners important pieces of knowledge. *However they will never be able to replace actual Human Runners.*

Man i hope you live a good life, this the best game ever, seeing you still play it makes me happy.

Amazing TAS!

Something that I don't think was mentioned in the video: on consoles, cars seem to have more weight and inertia. One of the results of this is that they hit *a lot* harder, which is why strats in the video like curator, armored truck, duff truck, and lvl 6 Skinner are able to be done the way that they are. My guess is that the low FPS plays a part in this. Because it takes longer for your car to respond to controller inputs, it carries it's inertia in a specific direction for longer. If you're able to time it right and get the right angle, you can send another car flying across the screen *and* do a lot more damage. The trade off is that cars handle terribly on console because of the low FPS, so I'm sure runs are far less forgiving and have a higher rate of restarts. I have the PS2 version of this, which I believe is the worst, and the difficulty comes from how hard it is to drive even in a straight line.

Got recomennded this randomly, i have never seen a H&R speedrun, and haven't played this game in over 13 years, WTF is going ON?? and most of this is normal? runs must look crazy, granted, this is perfect execution, but still

27:46 Bro literally told Dr. Nick "I'ma take you for a ride!"

i wonder why the tas is on an emulator instead of just the pc version of the simpsons

2:36, Homer is a parallel parking expert.

Btw liquid GCN runs at 60fps not 30, it actually runs at the highest fps of the console versions of SHAR. IIRC Xbox is 30fps, PS2 is 25fps. So given this wiggum house clip should be theoretically possible for PC players on 60fps as well. I'd image it's inconsistent the higher the FPS goes though, similar to bridge clip That said, this run would definitely be faster than WR by a minute or 2 if console could use ESS, main menu warp, and had no emulator lag

Growing up, I played this on the Gamecube! :D

I accidentally pulled off the Armoured Truck strat when I didn't knew what I was doing I wanted to push it against a wall so it could get stuck, my fps went to like 10-15 while it was taking damage (I was playing on the Xbox at the time)

GAMECUBE IS 60FPS LOL

king of austism

great tas but this emulation was running on windows vista or some shit

4:23 As someone who used to play the PS2 version and now the Gamecube version I am very offended by that.

I love this TAS compared to so many other games! It seems like every other TAS has some arbitrary bullcrap like theres a speed wiggle or jumping sideways goes faster. Runs are no fun if the TAS is hopping and wiggling backwards for an hour straight lol.

Which part is the dumptruck part?

I can't wait for Cola Caper to reach the human limit and be as fast as possible someday.

40 minutes of my life I won't get back. Thanks Mr schizoffective.

that duff truck was amazing

It doesn't even look like a tas, where is the un human parkour and glitch flying or whatever lol

I just randomly looked up speedruns for this game and found you I’m American and saw you’re video of people getting offended for politics and melee being overrated 😂 this game is my childhood man

i thought it was the ps2 version that was capped at 30fps and it's 60 for the other consoles

wait wouldnt the most optimal run be done entirely looking behind when driving?

Bet pc tas would be slower without the fps clips and stuff

My lord this was insane

1:24:50 wth? I never knew you can do that.

WOOOO TOOL ASSISTED!!!

Lol

Black man can’t payoff his child support

99% of pc versions of games are worse
