    I love hearing about TAS progress, because unlike Speedruns, it's not all just trying to have good enough reflexes until you win, or resetting & starting the run over if you don't get good RNG; A TAS is all about the routing & strategy, & not whether someone's luck or reflexes are good enough that day. & that's why I love it!

    22:28 "first blood was soon struck"
    Hi, I'm Peter Griffin, here to explain the joke. what appears to be an error in scripting here is the inaccuracy in depicting the symbiotic relationship between the two words blood, and draw. at some point in history it became common for actions involving cutting human skin and rupturing the blood vessels underneath causing the blood to leak from out of the body into open air to be distinguished with the word "Draw". this is possibly most famously depicted in the movie "First Blood" which was released in 1982. in this film, the character Rambo, when talking to another character, says the legendary line, "they drew first blood, not me". granted, this use of the phrase is less literal than other uses, considering the first antagonistic action taken against Rambo was the harassment from the police officer which did not involve physical violence, but the point still stands. Now, as I was saying: this youtube video seemingly incorrectly uses the word Struck instead of Draw, though in this case the grammatically correct form of the word would be Drawn. this is NOT actually an error as has been pointed out by zero (0) other commenters before me, and there is no confusion that this comment needs to resolve. in truth, the writer of this script was actually referring to the way that the characters in beloved video game super smash brothers melee Strike the targets in one of the more technically inclined sub-game modes, "break the targets". in a classified interview sometime last month, user Practical TAS informed our interviewer that this choice of wording was intentional, and it spoke to the inherent violence of the game mode and the highly competitive nature of the speedrunning community.
    Practical TAS declined to comment further.
