watching this made me so happy you have no idea, you did everything i could ever want and more. some real big "i did NOT expect that" moments. really really good job with the entire thing dude.
Thanks for your very nice comment! It really means a lot to hear that people enjoy what I do. And you know what they say, something about shoulders and giants...
i've asked this on a TAS video before. possibly one of yours, idk. but: am i understanding correctly that the *only* cheat you did was "all homeworlds"? like, if a player could somehow get frame-perfect movement, everything else here is theoretically doable RTA?
Theoretically all of the movement here or in any Spyro TAS could be done RTA, even if it's never going to happen in practice. I think there's really only one thing that can't be done, and that's RNG manipulation. The two most prominent examples of that are getting Tuco to take you directly to specifically Dry Canyon, and getting the right rat spawns and movements in Gnorc Gnexus. If you get bad RNG in a TAS you can literally just go back in the run and manipulate the RNG, usually by flaming, until you get the outcome you want, but RTA you're just stuck with what you're given.
@@Peteguy100 i figured as much. it's just some of these tricks, especially the jumps, seem impossible without hacks, so i wanted to clarify. it's interesting to know that all this stuff is theoretically possible.
