0 Geo World Record Holder Reacts to Gathering Swarm TAS by  

I've subscribed and it's kinda sad how underappreciated his work is. They are really awesome and I loved his work a lot. SUBSCRIBE TO JARLYK!!! THE RADIANCE DEMANDS IT

The video has jarlyks voiceover it on his channel

I was waiting for you to react to this. I watched his own commentary on it. I loved it and I hope you loved it too.

Yeah this is literally just a worse version of the original commentated Tas, you just say ‘wow this is so cool I don’t know what to say’ and ‘hey guys I don’t know if you noticed, but he actually makes the geo orbit him’

@@chlli Personally, I do enjoy seeing peoples' reactions. It adds another layer to the experience and it's especially fun as the creator to see how people process it. Also, just in case it's not clear, Blue made this video with my permission and blessing, so there's no theft going on here. Blue has a larger audience than my channel at the moment, so I'm happy to see a broader audience get to enjoy what I spent so much time making.

TL;DR no crazy TAS stuff like wall cling storage

Yeah, like with NES tas they can press left and right at the same time which is physically not possible on an actual controller. Nothing like that here. So if you had infinite precision you COULD do this on a keyboard/mouse or controller etc…

A human could do any one of these inputs once with enough practice, but the likelihood of a human being able to string together multiple of these inputs in a single run is impossible.

@@Fogmeister it actually is possible to press both directions on an NES controller if you modify the dpad by filing away a little bump on the bottom. Repeated use of the controller eventually removes the bump on its own, so most speedruns allow people to just open their controllers and do it themselves.

@@Fogmeister it is, jotstick and dpad

welp, guess i will change the vessel

... can't let that thing get out of here

I mean, I wouldn't call it humanly impossible. If one in every ten humans on the face of the entire earth were to learn how to speedrun the game and then try to do this ten-thousand times a piece, I'd imagine that it would be done successfully at least once.

by semi-human they mean a human could technically do this once, but wouldn't be able to do it again.

I meannnn. I use gathering swarm sometimes when I do Geo grinding. And it circles me for a bit that's it tho.

This made my morning haha

It makes one element of the run moderately easier while making another element monstrously more difficult.

What if the hollow knight was a tas

Nah he chose right, imagine fighting tas hollow knight

@@thatoneguy6146 tas pure vessel 💀

HK just started earlier.

​@@thatoneguy6146 but since it isn't human playing, and it is a robot that doesn't have emotions or a mind, wouldn't it be the perfect vessel?

Tas isn't a robot, it's a human playing in slow-motion with infinite attempts. You're right about the not failing though!

⁠@@michaelmahoney5677 TAS is actually a robot by most definitions! My favorite definition of a non-science fiction robot is a type of automated machine that can execute specific tasks with little or no human intervention and with speed and precision, and as a TAS is essentially a coded run in which every frame is pre-determined which is then set to run (fun fact, the creator of this TAS actually made an anecdote about one of his TAS’s after being set to run while he wasn’t looking I guess had accidentally activated the Crystal Guardian fight and… died because it wasn’t coded to do that fight lol) it exactly fits that definition.

@@michaelmahoney5677I’m super late, but that only applies on some TAS’s, such as Minecraft ones.

'exactly.'

Whenever we are approached by smelly flies, it activates, roasting them mid-flight.

I saw that too lmao

no, that IS a neutron star.

i think he just meant that the movement, while being physically possible for us, is just that precise and consistent that its inhuman

For those who don’t get the joke TAS is just a speedrun robot (as far as I know they’re only used for speedruns; don’t know what else they would be used for😐)

@@WiltedFlora i mean, TAS stands for "tool assisted speedrun" so if it was used for something else it wouldnt very well be a TAS anymore would it

@FullAlchemist not quite but close enough. It isn't a robot, it's a person sitting there and using tools to create a playthrough..frame by frame, perfect inputs, etc. Then playing it back.

bro this was a joke lol

@@obsidianflight2758 TAS can also stand for Tool-Assisted Superplay in non-speedrun situations (like SM64 A-button challenge) but usually it is used in speedruns

+ unbreakable greed

Plus hitless?

I wonder at what point this becomes impossible, even with TAS

Unbreakable Greed

“No Voice to cry suffering” Tas-Knight: “”

I think of all forms of speedrunning as a type of art. Typical speedrunning is primarily a performance art, especially with the ubiquity of streaming, as people gather to watch skilled performers demonstrate their skill while simultaneously entertaining the audience with the resulting performance and, often, accompanying commentary. TASing, then, is akin to highly produced studio output, using powerful tools to achieve results that live human performers could never do. Modern produced music is comprised of dozens of carefully arranged and manipulated layers of sound, often with multiple recordings of the same voices and instruments, with carefully 'comped' vocal parts to create the illusion of an almost perfect performance. If typical TASes are pop productions, then, I like to think of ridiculous things like this as akin to hyperpop, taking the extreme perfection and dialing it up to absurd levels, such that any illusion of it being a human performance is utterly shattered. On a related note, let me shill another video that has some geo dodging that didn't make it into the TAS route. (: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ryk5l6hcz20.html

I have watched dozens of TASes on as many games, and I find the most entertaining bursts of gameplay come from TASers that are willing to screw around during segments when they're forced to wait for even a few frames. Like a really zealous drum solo, or a fun flourishing yoyo trick. It didn't need to happen, and might be inefficient, but it makes for extremely entertaining viewing. And consider the extra shilling effective. There's a dearth of TASes of these short bursts of showing off, most everything is full runs of a category, which depending on the game strip it down so far it stops being interesting to watch because of how much it abuses glitches to the demerit of the viewer. Things like end credit warp in Super Mario World or ACE in OoT. Those are fine to think about and marvel at how contorted the witchcraft is behind them, but they are very poor pieces of entertainment in the moment. And I disagree about the stripping of the illusion of a human hand, there's an underlying perfectionistic insanity inherent to this that an AI would never try for if told to learn a game and perfect it. That special spark of human insanity that says "Because it's there."

I had the same thought at that moment, imagine if an actual person manages to use gathering swarm during a geo-less run as tech.

@@heck_n_degenerate940 That would be cool, but unfortunately you need geo to buy Gathering Swarm.

​@@revnl17 damn, foiled again.

you could probably just avoid touching the ground without gathering swarm since theres no risk of picking up geo in the air

That is easy. Colosseum enemies don't drop any geo. The only danger would be the end

P5 all bindings but it’s every boss at the same time

Where to sign?

This guy anythings

That would be amazing but sadly No Eyes is locked behind lumafly lantern and she is needed to do the pantheon of the knight. Other than that, I would love to see that run as well!

Ok but why tho

he just forgot???

And dream nail
