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 - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jNFlfNSk2dvPmH0.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! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rpZzqdag2Jiwoqc.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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n7hxZqWF2bTOaHk.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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9eCetyrq5mzqnk.html Iron Gate M1: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8xxmbWSspfXioE.html Sand Ocean M1: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/l7Bgea2Hl-DcY6s.html

Knuckles: "This is gonna be tougher than I thought" Also Knuckles: *finds every piece in 14 seconds

Sonic running up the tree in green forest was so in character for sonic, thats amazing.

1:17 Music: "Trust me and we will escape from the city" Sonic: **escapes from the city**

7:32 - "Missile launch in 15 se- FIRE!"

9:07 Shadow: "hmm, I'm the coolest!" Sonic: "Aight, I'm gonna dip, let me know when you die." *falls into water* Shadow: "Darn, not bad for an imposter." *Sonic gasps for air and swims back to the platform, coughing up water, walks towards Shadow* Sonic: "Do you know who I am?"

36:46 "before this is over, I'll show you the true power of CHA-- 😵"

33:13 "Well done Sonic, but you'll never leave this room alive!" Well he wasn't wrong...

Mad respect for how tight these A-rank scores are. Even though it's a TAS, it takes some serious planning on these stages to get an A-rank so closely

I love how Sonic has the actual Dev-endowed programming to move faster than even his own game can handle Gotta go fast, man

35:20 Omachao: "Try grinding up the steep incline, it's fun!" Sonic: *Sure*

My personal favorite is 35:17. Omachao: Try grinding up this steep incline. It's fun! *Proceeds to aggressively run up the incline of the nearby building instead.*

I never get tired of Shadow's face at 9:37 That's the same kind of "oh s**t!" face someone would make if they accidently had something "questionable" on bluetooth or a loud speaker

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.

Ok I think it's safe to say that Sonic speedrunners are the most hardcore speedrunners in the world. None of the things they do should be possible. It's awesome to watch though.

This TAS guy is pretty good in any video game

36:50, Shadow: "I'll show you the true power of..." *ding-ding-ding!*

Watching you take out the King Boo ghost so quickly was both really cathartic and frustrating because of the number of times it took me to hit it when it was weakened.

That strength tails has in order to use the lift hooks is impressive.

Final Rush was insane. Awesome job on these dude

I never knew there were grind rails above the tunnels in white jungle! Still so much to learn from SA2!

1:38 "Sir, we have suspect in sight. Engaging persuit." 1:39 "Uh, we just lost visual contact."

21:16 Tails: "I did it!" ok.

When I watched the City Escape run, i was surprised when I saw the score screen; it was exactly 18000 and I was like “wow it’s exactly what it needs to be an A rank that’s like TAS” and then I look at the title of the video and realized I missed the part where it said TAS 😂

35:19 "Get more speed using Jump Dash! Try grinding up the steep incline. It's fun!" Oh the irony Omochao.

Never in my life would I enjoy watching a childhood classic of mine be destroyed with getting A ranks consecutively this way. Regardless, I had a big dumb smile on my face so far, and going to finish watching the rest. Have fun with Dark Story if you haven't done it yet! :D

This is what I imagine Sonic Adventure 2 Battle would play out if Archie Sonic were the one doing it. This was amazing!

My favorite thing about SA2 is that in order to get an A rank you either gotta explore to find every ring, be really fast or you have to be *stylish AF* And with a TAS that can do anything with enough love and care you can really make the last option shine

Can't wait to watch your full 180 emblem TAS its going to be simply incredible

I love how this makes Tails look like an actual dangerous mad scientist. Dude was aiming onto EVERYTHING.

when you flew into the air to hit the golem I just... couldn't help but hear "TIRIYAAAAH!" in my head with every hit.

36:51 lmao that was rude as hell

Seeing king boom boo getting rekt in one phase is cathartic.

I dont think im ever not gonna laugh at "Missle launch in 15 seconds. Fire."

Running up the tree is hands down the most impressive thing I've ever seen in my life!

That Final Rush run was incredible! Truly does create an accurate name to the stage!

I remember when I one phased King Boom Boo it was just microseconds before the timer ran out but it was the most accomplished feeling ever.

Stage: Hurry and -- This guy: Wanna see me do it again?

I really enjoy TAS speedruns, I love how every thing could be done in like 2-3 frames

the green forest level had my jaw on the floor. incredible accuracy.

35:20 only now noticing how cool sonic running up walls is in adventure 2

Perfect timing 1:16

That was really fun to watch! Good luck with the rest!

This is the true Sonic - so fast that even the game is bugging!

How can you program a TAS on the knuckles stages if the emeralds spawn in a different place every time the level starts? How can the TAS predict the random spawns of the shards?

Insane TAS, great job making it! I honestly don't know how people are this patient and skilled.

It's been 20 some years...and I'm still shocked every time they actually used comic sans for this game

The only gameplay where Sonic is moving at the speed of sound. Amazing!

Shadow: Before this over I'll show you the True Power of cha- Sonic after cutting him off: Idc

Tails after destroying billions in military property: Ok

It's just amazing how you got the fragments of the Master Emerald so fast. That's just really hard to me

When I think of people speedrunning Sonic games, I think of the sonic characters actually going through the stages like that.

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.

One of the favorite games of my youth. I could never beat my older friend who introduced me to it but just the high speed fun was enough to keep my trying. Love this game!

You take Rolling Around At The Speed Of Sound to another level.

This man deserves a bunch of likes and subscribers, THIS IS REAL HARD WORK AND DEDICATION!

The best Sonic game I could play on my GameCube, rest in peace

Geeeeze I used to always play this game! And seeing you do this so fast, I'm literally amazed

7:32 15 seconds. Fire.

Cool as heck, looking forward to seeing the full run!

36:56 Good idea, Shadow. Just walk directly into Sonic bouncing

That King Boom Boo fight was so savage. You up and baited him into laughing at you before then blowing him up for it.

7:31 "There's a launch in 15 sec-FIRE!"

Those Final Rush runs were unbelievable. I just finished my first all-A-rank 100% of SA2, and I’ve been playing the game since I was young, but this makes me look like I’d only just picked it up. Great stuff!

This was the peak Sonic experience. I also love the music in this game.

You’ve earned a subscriber my friend. Love it! Definitely learned a lot from this video

Shadow-Before this is over I'll show you the true power of... (beat) I am the ultimate life... Sonic-Game Over Shadow!

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

The movement in green forest is pretty nuts. Always have love for this game. Hearing city escspe always get me hyped

Seeing Final Rush was my favorite of all this. Excellent job. I can only imagine what the number of attempts.

I really find interesting the TAS if the mech stages had those physical by default the complaints about them would have been really low

You’ve earned a subscriber my friend. Love it!

One of the best opening levels in gaming, this had me hooked as a kid

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

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.

That Final Rush was awesome

Sonic TAS videos are what shows Sonic's actual speed.

I choose to believe Sonic's stages are just how they canonically happened. Just fuck-you speed. Especially Final Rush.

very fun that one of the few cutscenes that doesn't get skipped is the iconic cutscene before fighting shadow

Never realized how fun some of these levels seem to be to speed run, especially Pyramid Cave.

YO HOLY SHIT I FOUND IT ONE OF MY OLD CHILDHOOD GAMES I WANTED TO PLAY AGAIN

Congratulations, your 1,000th subscriber is here!!!🎉🎉🎉

I like how the stage background are often just stock photos

the music is the most fitting its ever been for sonic stages XD

u ate this up babe great job!

Canonic Sonic's speed is something like this! :D

Most Powerful Sonic Adventure 2 gamer ever!

6:36 Fun fact, You have to grind this rail at the beginning or you can't get enough points in this stage to get the A rank on your first playthrough

11:11 I jokingly said “8 minutes? All I need is two” when the level started, I’m shocked to see that he didn’t even need 2 minutes

I like how every time you play as sonic the game is like “wait what”

Great run

i missed out on you holy crap, beats the og tas by almost 2 minutes with all a ranks shows how much this tas has progressed

the knuckles and tails levels are crazy to see speedruns of since I always struggled with them as a kid lol

True sonic’s speed in this gameplay

29:58 i love the fact that shadow just says "your better than me" as hes pummeled and sent off to earth off the platform

You could tell me this was Katie4 gamplay and I'd believe it lmao Great tas!!! Amazing job

Who ever playing this is badass🔥 I still have this game & couldn’t do nun close to this…props💯👌🏽

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.

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

This is just Lore Accurate speed for Sonic
