TAS - Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Episode 1-4 as Spaz in  

@Rudy Jack how?? Pls tell me

@Hezekiah Makai code ??

Well, this is a TAS (Tool Assisted Speedrun) so all inputs are pre-programmed. The human performed world record is 17:48 (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-d1SWJlP4bas.html) so it's quite a bit slower. The walljumps are just a developer oversight. It's frame perfect and also depend on your alignment. At full speed you move at 8 pixels per frame and if you were to be 8 pixels away from the wall and try to walljump on the next frame it won't work. At 6:52 you can see that I slow down just a tiny bit to avoid this.

@@BinaryBlob Thanks for the note, I was not aware of that

Thanks! :)

If you press down on the exact frame you hit a wall the game thinks you're standing on ground. If you hold jump while doing that you'll be able to jump off the wall. One or two wall jumps is doable RTA but the only episode we do them in actual runs is in the shareware demo. For Spaz I do two wall jumps near the start and for Jazz/Lori I do one wall jump on the last level.

Thanks! :)

Thanks! It's kinda hard to estimate how long each level takes since I rarely do a full level in one sitting. I started working on a Lori TAS a while ago and I believe I did Tossed Salad from start to finish in a 2-3 hour livestream. Some levels require a lot of trial-and-error and can take multiple hours while some levels such as Funky Grooveathon is quite straight forward and can take less than an hour. If we account for the time spent reverse enginering the Queen to get the best RNG I'd definitely say that Knight Cap took the most amount of time.

That's weird. I never noticed that. Something seems to happen with the beat at 10:14 as well. Maybe the sound of the spring affects the pitch of some part of the music? I know that some sounds can get a different pitch if two sounds start simultaneously. I've heard this many times when bricks drop during the queen fight in the second level but I don't think I've ever heard it affect the music.

Nope, no patch. I'm using version 1.24 of the game published by LK Avalon. The trigger that enables the water is located below the spawn. If you buffer a jump while the level is loading you can jump over the trigger.

@@BinaryBlob aah alright, i'll need to check what version i'm using and will try that jump. thanks

@@BinaryBlob I use the 1.23 version by Epic Megagames (I think). water does spawn immediatly after the level is loaded, even though i jump mid air as far as possible.

@@MrUlf1337 Did you move to the right as well? The trigger is below the spawn point so if you just hold jump you'll still hit it on your way down.

@@BinaryBlob yes I spawned and immediatly jumped to the right, I even hit the wall where one crab is, without touching the ground.

Those are wall jumps which require a frame perfect down press. Depending on your speed and distance from the wall the frame before you hit it you sometimes wont be able to make it though even if you get the frame perfect down press. This is a tool assisted speedrun though so it's not actually me playing. All inputs were programmed beforehand. The only instance that I can think of where I do wall jumps in an actual run is the beginning of my demo% as Spaz: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wi2i4FbuSJ4.html

alright i'm stupid, i change my comment to "wouldn't blame someone for thinking it wasn't tas" because that's the only way i'll feel less stupid lmao

I think the issue can be that Jazz2TAS is not compatible with jj2+

I do buttstomps. You're invincible for a breif moment right before the buttstomp.

@@BinaryBlob I wish i knew that 15 years ago lol

It's from the official JJ2 expansion "The Secret Files" released in 1999. They added a 3rd character to play as.

I'm not sure what skip you're talking about. There's a clip you can do but I'm pretty sure that's slower.

Unfortunately its not you have to spend way too much time in the wall :(

But there is one skip on lab1 which saves time and its not in this TAS because it was found later. Also there should one skip Rabbit Roast ehich should save time but I havent theoretized it fully yet.

The trigger that activates the water is just below where you spawn. By simply holding jump when the level starts you can skip the trigger. You of course also have to move sideways to avoid the trigger on the way down.

@@BinaryBlob lmfao i mean this video already demonstrated that jj2 is kinda broken, but _that_ brokenness is sm64 tier

Not by humans - this was made with a tool which helped Binary give the exact inputs on every frame the get the fastest result.

Do you mean at 2:35 for example? I buttstomp when I'm as close to the ceiling as possible and while in the buttstomp animation I double jump. I think it's called "wallclimbing": www.jazz2online.com/wiki/Wallclimb

It's a tool called Jazz2TAS. With tool assisted speedruns, you place the inputs in order to get perfect gameplay. The hard work is making sure each input is set optimally and every strategy is looked into. There's no rewind so it can get very tedious.

@@treylinazerros159 okay that's make sense

Jazz2TAS ändrar i koden och jag vet inte om det är tillåtet. Det enda som ändras i koden är dock bara den del som kollar vilka knappar som trycks.
