TASBOT plays Kaizo Mario World 3 - GDQx2018 

I specifically asked GlitchCat7 to come provide commentary because I knew I couldn't do it justice on my own. He nailed it.

@@dwangoAC GlitchCat is great. He's a really chill dude and always entertaining. That's why he's the only person I sub to on Twitch.

I logged in RU-vid just to comment, "i don't understand why people enjoy watching things like TASBOT," but after reading your comment I have a better understanding.

*Mario starts BLJ-ing upstairs* Crowd: *0 reaction*

In part also there is a signal that gets sent back to the bot so it knows when the frames fire.

Shadowgaming105 I don’t know if it’s satire, but from what I’ve seen is that they program a bot to press button at frame perfect inputs so you can get the best run possible at the time.

Yes

Yes, this way you can make some crazy things. This run is not particurlarly entertaining, my personal best is the Monkey Ball one and the one where they made Super Mario Maker in SMB

DynVec Real Time Attack. Basically means when real people are playing, it’s RTA. If something is RTA viable it’s means it’s possible for a human player to do

Glitchcat is amazing

I read this comment before the video, and was like pfff. Yea another exaggerated comment... glad to see I was wrong, he was crystal clear to understand while maintaining a high speed of commentary to keep up with the gameplay wow.

Doesn't RTA mean real time actual which refers to just a pure timer running, no pausing during loading or anything.

@@casualcgrain7835: Outside the context of TAS, "Real Time Attack" means not using the in-game timer (and in fact, most speedruns are RTA). In the context of TAS, "Real Time Attack" means normal (non-TAS) speedrun.

I thought it meant 'Real-Time Action'. Not much difference though.

Mambodog 532 i thought it means real time attempt

RTA means timing method. For example, take classic Sonic games. In-game time runner would go as fast as possible, finish a level under 30 seconds and wait for gigantic countdown of bonus points. RTA runner would wait for 30 seconds on timer to not get that point bonus. TAS could target both.

Do you guys not have TASBots?

It desyncs at nearly every GDQ so they are used to it by now.

I was 100% certain when they said it desynched that it was intentional and they were just setting up something insane lol

I mean... it ain’t hard compared to how bad that went

@@exantiuse497 Definitely not intentional. I was having trouble right before we went live too. I shifted slightly in my chair (you might even be able to spot it in the video) and that's all it took.

Normal TASBot is basically Neo in the Matrix

100% agree

These are the same bot.

Thanks (:

Thank you good sir, very helpful

youre a good person

Ayyyyy

who do you mean?

The TASbot did a fat BLJ through half of it

There are other people who have played this game. Ones that did not give up too.

@@hlantian7563 not to mention rta speedrunners

Successful run (post desync) starts at 13:26 ...But you should watch the whole thing anyways since they commentate different things both times ;)

"Casual player will most likely never beat it, even with save states." If only because by the time they beat it, they aren't really a casual player anymore.

*proceeds to use anti-gravity in super mario bros. 3*

Thats PRESIDENT Bowser to you.

It’s cool that’s why

Oh no! Quick, run from its GDq time boys, boys!

Sh4dow sight real time attack

you might have learned the answer in the last 3 years but if not: it's basically like those punch card music players. It plays back inputs programmed into a perfect sequence by talented people with access to tools that let them run the game in an emulator with pause, rewind, and frame by frame advance, plus the ability to make macros or directly edit button presses. Getting it to work with real hardware is the hard part since real hardware usually has tiny bits of lag in loading compared to a modern pc, some of the tas emulators have built in emulation so accurate these are built in, but desync is always possible since tasbot can't see the screen or know that it is out of sync.

I think the timer was off when they started after the desync

It's literally called tasbot

It's also not even a bot people just slowed down the game to use inputs at very specific times but played back in real time

It's a display board. Custom made for tas playbacks. I think the design might be on GitHub?

...to you.

No. It's people slowing down the game to do inputs at very specific times then played back in real time

real time attempt

Whistlecube Shoutouts to Soompleflops

My shirt said Jesus saves at the end of each level.

FeelsBadMan

Did you think it would be easy?

i think like 10 persons have beaten the game

how do you buy a cartridge of a rom hack

@@soup6478 its like buying Gameboy games of fleemarkets. I used to buy some as a kid, Got home exited as hell and then seeing it was a copied one

The exact buttons to press at the exact time are recorded beforehand. These inputs are played back in real time.

Tasbot will always kill the animals to save the frames.
