If you're resetting a lot, it can be annoying to resync the video. I don't think anyone has ever made a LiveSplit plugin or whatever that does it automatically (perhaps a good idea for someone to do)?

Example runs and TASes
A couple of speedruns and TASes that are meant to serve as good first things to watch for someone new to the concept, and/or "milestone" runs. They should be of games where it's obvious they're being played at a fast/skillful level, and not require intimate knowledge of the game beforehand. Marathon runs are fine for this, and audio commentary to explain what's going on is a definite plus. I don't want a lot of these, maybe 5-10 each, and not too long ones. The Ori and the Blind Forest race from AGDQ 2018 is a good candidate, as well as some Super Monkey Ball run.

I would throw in the Majora's Mask 100% speedrun from a year or two back since its also pretty well contaminated and has a pretty good collaborative vibe to it.

If you are going to make a racing category the Yoshi Island race from this AGDQ would be a good candidate as well

I'm working my way through this run right now (in the background while I work) and I've been enjoying it. It's super chill and the runners compliment each other well and work well together to provide good, thorough commentary and execution.

I don't remember if I've seen this one, but while I have no doubts at all about the quality of both the runners and the commentary, I have my doubts about a 5½ hour run being a good "introduction to speedrunning" run to showcase, which is what the list of runs I'm trying to compile is mostly supposed to be. Basically I don't want it to be a big project to watch any of the runs on said list, so the shorter the better, and anything breaking the hour mark is probably pushing it. The Ori race from AGDQ is a perfect example: just ~40 minutes long, great commentary, practically nonstop action, lots of movement tech, and even if there wasn't any commentary, it would be very obvious that it's very high level playing on display. That's the kind of runs I'm looking for.

I've looked into doing RUINER myself, since I absolutely loved playing it. I'd probably say go with that, since you can do an actual speedrun through the speedrun mode, do some kind of speedrun 100% completion through the story mode, or do a speedrun using glitches and poo poo.

If this TAS is holding the A button the whole time, doesn't it make it a 0,5xA instead of a 0xA run?

Unreal_One
Aug 18, 2010

Now you know how I don't like to use the sit-down gun, but this morning we just don't have time for mucking about.

It's not a 0xA run, just posting certain 0xA bananas; the any% is down to 13 A presses. Also, the runner who's doing it doesn't like the half a notation; they count a button being pressed down as a press.

Every video on this channel assumes you've already completed some relevant subset of previous videos. Notably, every video will assume A is held from either starting the file or the previous press. Unless otherwise noted, the A button will -NEVER BE LET GO- during this run except immediately preceding another A press. This is because a held A button allows a lot of useful things such as buying moves, more potent dismounting, autojumping, faster swimming, rocketbarrel, and more. I will not be using the "0.5 A" notation because it does not add anything meaningful - as long as it takes an A press to start a file you can always have A held before a section.

DoctorWhat
Nov 18, 2011

A little privacy, please?
In contrast, SM64 lets you start a file with the Start button, so in theory a 0.5 a-press full run could be possible if we could get past that loving pole.
