any good runs today I should catch up on? I missed virtually everything up to MM.

Arbitrary code execution glitch runs are the BEST.

"do random nonsensical thing" CUE CREDITS

My favorite example of this is a TASbot running Wario Land (I think?) that goes off script, randomly flails around on a stage, and this SOMEHOW skips it straight to the end scene. Nobody knew about that before the bot randomly discovered it.

Seriously if you've never played Earthbound go buy it on the VC or something. Its one of the most charming games ever made.

It's been a while since I've seen a stream, but through Onett they do some stuff which allows for guaranteed Smaaaash!s against Titanic Ant and the Captain Strong.

No, that was a TAS that was supposed to be an any% run and instead desynced on a different version of the emulator it was made on and warped to credits. Here's the thread for it: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16135 the OP has been edited to reflect the desync.

When you're actively manipulating the RNG, calling it "luck" seems kinda dumb.

Kirby Tilt and Tumble is short and pretty fun, especially considering the control scheme.

Ecco: Tides of Time also was a really smooth run that had the guy playing it pull off TAS stunts on his first attempt. :stare:

Kind of reminds me of Kris Straub's Broodhollow where the main character believes that his OCD compulsions actually do affect the universe the same way a speedrunner manipulates RNG

From each save he does a specific amount of movements and actions to track the RNG before each combat action so he knows exactly what will happen.

Abu Dave posted:

He basically knows that because he moved this way and that way on his walk over to the fight, and then hit B 20 times at the start of the fight, that the enemy will roll a miss and he will roll a crit, then if he hits B 5 more times he'll get another crit, etc.

Basically one they figured it out they probably used some kind of debugger to track the values, and then they just memorize what to do.
