didn't those guys programm the TAS?
why are they acting all surprised?

Not all of them. Mitch is the current world record holder for SMB3 Any %.

 

[TheChits]

This is a definite highlight so far

 

[SmackAttack]

I have no idea what is happening but it's wonderful.

 

[Brinbe]

TAS block always delivers

 

[Sawneeks]

These TAS runs, are they modifying game code or is this all being manipulated from game mechanics?

Modifying existing game code to make frame-perfect glitches to overwrite the games memory.

Magic BS, essentially.

 

[Xater]

How does this work? They write code in the game?

They use a computer to make loTs of button inputs on two controllers to program stuff in on the fly.

 

[Jacobs]

Cool!

 

[jman2050]

Arbitrary Code Execution has gone a long way

 

[Brashnir]

That was pretty rad.

 

[LeonSPBR]

TAS you're amazing!!!!

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

That was amazing.

 

[KittenMaster]

They just played an any% route that manipulates the position of the koopa shells to correspond with overflowing memory addresses to trick the game into executing foreign code. Normally this is done as a credits warp, but for here they did it to give Mario new powers and to create that fake command prompt.

Shinespark mario needs to be canon

[jokkir]

Yeap. It doesn't make you look very good.

Well... both?

 

[Eman Resu]

Nice

Hey it's DS Lad

 

[Spinosaurus]

Mario with Strider's Ouroboros

 

[KevinCow]

Fuuuuuck, I fell asleep and missed most of TASBot block.

 

[XenogearsX]

I love TAS block lol

 

[Dai101]

NEXT: TASBot takes Total Control of...

 

[Jacobs]

SMB3 was definitely the highlight of TAS.

 

[Bane]

That was fantastic.

 

[KarmaCow]

I wonder what the mystery game they're taking over is but it's going to be hard to top that.

 

[PureYeti]

Crap looks like I miss the glitches

 

[T.O.P]

Oh well i guess i can skip Bloodborne, dupe glitch on the unpatched version at this point is really freakin lame

 

[SmackAttack]

NEXT: TASBot takes Total Control of...

the WORLD

 

[ship it]

Yeap. It doesn't make you look very good.

whatever makes you feel better about yourself. telling people you dont agree with to chill the fuck out is "a good look" though? gotcha.

sm3 was good. move along.

 

[Firemind]

ffiv is the finale?

 

[kulapik]

DO IT

 

[Dingotech]

Pumped for Bloodborne!

Another huge donation total incoming for the team, such good work. Have they ever considered switching up the charity that they donate to? Not that it's not a worthy cause.

 

[NormalFish]

can we please get to the best run of the marathon, RBO, already?

 

[Spirited]

Oh well i guess i can skip Bloodborne, dupe glitch on the unpatched version at this point is really freakin lame

Yeah can't say that is an interesting run :/

 

[Xater]

ffiv is the finale?

Well I know what I won't be watching.

Hope for some fun stuff again after the official event is over. There was some last time.

 

[Envelope]

srsly?

 

[XenogearsX]

ffiv is the finale?

It's always ended with an rpg I'm pretty sure and they haven't done IV yet as a finale so I'm excited to watch it. IV is a great game

 

[Silphonica]

Fuuuuuck, I fell asleep and missed most of TASBot block.

Crap looks like I miss the glitches

not over yet dudes

 

[Dai101]

ffiv is the finale?

More like the end credits.

And, here we go.

 

[T.O.P]

srsly?

FatB only does any% on 1.00 afaik

 

[Brashnir]

Crashbot at it again.

 

[Envelope]

FatB only does any% on 1.00 afaik

mega lame

 

[Danthrax]

TASBot takes total control of ... nothing!

 

[TronLight]

Jabs at Uyama? TASbot banned.

 

[jokkir]

No, it doesn't make either person look good. You're not much better with the comment though by trying to instigate more arguments with the comment.

 

[ship it]

mega lame

kinda. its still BB though. I've gotten so used to Lobos's challenge runs that it'll be nice to see it completed so quickly.

maybe you should look at the source instead of the reaction. but I appreciate you spending the time and posts to set me straight.

 

[Fhtagn]

That's so boring. All bosses current patch runs are where SoulsBorne speedruns shine; 1.0.0 runs are always pointlessly broken/dupe glitchy.

 

[Dai101]

WAT

 

[Spirited]

WAT

 

[Koobion]

Oh well i guess i can skip Bloodborne, dupe glitch on the unpatched version at this point is really freakin lame

Is that really what they're doing? I don't see how that can interest anyone. Hey look, I'm levelling really high with a glitch that makes all combat trivial - yay. That is really disappointing if it's true.

 

[Skrams]

So far so good when I'm afraid everything has died again

Also jesus christ really
