During the Lexaeus fight, he faced backwards during the fires so when the animation ends and the keyblades spin behind Sora he got 2 extra hits from them.
I know, but I was doing something called "Personification", something I learned back in middle school. I was treating the TAS as a person for the sake of a joke.
Xigbar after taking the 10th Duck Flare and 200th Horizontal Slash to his face: Yeah, now we're talking! Xaldin after witnessing the horror Xigbar went through: There's no fun in this.....
Imagine you were actually friends with some dude for a little while and some kid and his companion doggo and bird just slaughters them like that without ever hitting the ground.
@@ntrg3248 yeah, I doubt that's possible... maybe if a game was running at 30 FPS, but this version runs at 60 FPS... i think it might be possible for someone to do 30 button presses in a second with some incredible reflexes, but definitely not 60. plus it's a matter of hitting multiple buttons that fast, not just one...
From what i understand, most TAS runs are done by slowing down the gameplay drastically which makes reactions lightning fast when played back at regular speed
Combination of save states/rewind, frame advancement/slo-mo, and various external aids like memory viewers that enable knowing things you shouldn't, but don't at all modify the game, one of the hopes of any great TAS is the possibility of being hardware verified, which gets harder as the console generations go on, both because accurate emulation is harder, and because there's more chaos effects that can induce desynchs, such as load times, but things like DwangoAC's TAS Bot can attempt playback of a TAS on hardware to do such a verification
Yeah, it depends on the optimization level. Like a Mario 64 TAS would be made frame-by-frame because of how much competition there is. Some take so long to make that they get obsolete because a time save is found. These are important though, in the big picture of things.
I used to really enjoy playing kh2 and this popped up on my recommend for some reason but actually having you explain the moves and frame perfect techniques that go into this speed run is absolutely insane. Def worth watching 💪
"You CAN get these times but it's gonna be impossible because you gotta be a god" Bro, you'll be happy to hear Super Mario Bros speedrunners are finally within 1 frame of a TAS run... Soon we'll see the WR it's impossible to beat. Crazy to believe someday speedrun leaderboards will be based on who got the impossible time first.
Isn't it cool what you can do when you can react to things the very frame they happen, view the memory to spot how to manipulate RNG in your favor, and have mastery over time itself to find the most effective tactics that may also coincidentally set up RNG for later fights?
Hey, if it works it works, sometimes a TAS does wild unbelievable shit thats utterly unviable in human hands and warps reality...sometimes they just optimize the existing strategy for violence, whatever looks to have the best results really
He turns sora around during the lexeaus firaga portion because he pauses to continue the combo without finishers. Final form sora's keyblades spin back behind him after firaga, which gives him exactly one tick of damage each pause
7:40 isn't berserk what is keeping the stun? Since he's using fatal crest and he's keeping his MP empty, the attack command becomes berserker command, which comes out more fast and gives almost no gap to retaliate
Some stuff I learned from competitive smash bros that you can apply to KH2: if you invalidate a single hitbox that stays out for a long period of time, say by guarding or reflect especially, that hitbox is completely nullified and no longer does damage to sora. This is great for those small bits of extra damage. Its especially useful against Data Larxene because her lightning counts as a single continuous hitbox. Thats how the reflect let him hit larxene while she had armor during the lightning.
Ik this is a year ago but, I noticed why the TAS runner spun Sora during Final Form. Like with items (as you mentioned) Sora's keyblades have hit registration during firagra casts. Its noticeable during Demnyx. As FF ends you see the keyblades hit animation as well as Demnyx taking dmg. It's not just for swag but, extra dmg.
its pretty funny that the game don't keep up with a TAS run in Luxord's fight (1:55) the menu's select option is so fast at the time for the game RC that the drive icon appears in the attack option
For that Zexion fight, you can abuse Comet or Fantasia and keep opponents in an attack if you equip Berserk Charge and Horizontal Slash (as it also counts as a finisher).
He kept zexion staggered due to a property of horizontal slash that makes it if you hit it a certain number of frames after the last one it doesn't trigger their RV overflow.
Zexion was because of the frame perfect horizontal slashes it keeps him stun locked im pretty sure, if you dont time them right they will break out and DM. Mr Windy Lances can be locked with horizontals as well
i think during the lexaeus fight he was facing the otherway for the keyblades to hit him since they are behind sora. i could be wrong but thats what id assume
A human is basically using special tools to go through the game in slow motion, frame by frame and specifically choice each and every input that happens on each and every frame of the game then they can basically replay all the inputs to make it play the game
The fuckin menus. So I suspected when I saw the double blizzaga finisher, something I didn't notice earlier because it happened so fucking fast, and I thought he was just showing off... *This bastard is tailoring his moves for each battle in a matter of seconds.*
zexion combo happen because he has beserker ability on the keyblade, so he used donalds move getting rid of his MP and that enables beserkers infinite combo he has no finishers
The first time I beat Xaldin learn jump/Berserk horizontal slash, perhaps I was lucky he never broke it and I didn't use flare, I did took his entire HP no problem, I was very proud because I figure that on my on.
Out of pure curiosity: It is possible to take thr floating keyblades of Roxas out if this fight? With like mods and stuff? Or does that just crash the game?
This QTE is weird. It's like the developers first design it for wielding only one keyblade and then they thought Roxas would be cooler wielding two keyblades
It's a playback of an emulated run that was played frame by frame. This allows someone to do inputs with exact precision, such as hitting a menu input every frame. This is referred to as a TAS (or tool assisted speedrun.) It is mostly used to showcase would could be possible with absolute perfection.
@@BoldandBrash12 Can you read? I didn't say he's bad at it, I just said that people overrate his actual skill level. Even he himself said he isn't the best player but everyone keeps saying he's the best. Don't get me wrong, he's better than me, but he's no Bizkit047 or KBM or Yachi Nanase, who are in my opinion, better than Will.
So when you say this is a TAS, is a computer doing the whole thing? And if not, what parts is the computer doing and what parts is the player doing? And how is having a computer/tool or whatever not considered cheating? Do you just mean that the coding of the game isn’t altered in any way?
A TAS is just a script playing back a series of inputs devised by humans, like a playback piano, the input record is made via emulation tools like memory viewers(to know the unknowable), save states/rewind(human error still exists, as does experimenting to discover what might change based on decisions), and frame advance/slo-mo(for frame perfect inputs, reactions, etc), but the game itself is not modified, and one of the things a great TAS can hope for is that its possible to be hardware verified, that is, a machine is set up to playback the inputs to a physical console and the TAS hopefully executes as intended... it doesn't always work, and things like disc load times can make it harder to make work, TASes are not meant to be competitive with human executed speedruns, but rather a demonstration of the theoretical optimal potential a game has
A TAS run is simply a computer running a series of inputs. The inputs are arranged by humans with software to help the humans make the series of inputs be frame-perfect. Since humans can create a TAS run of frame-perfect inputs for the entire run, this means that TAS runs can demonstrate theoretically fastest possible runs within the game. Do note while the runs may be considered "theoretically fastest possible" at the time of the run, as new skips and speedrunning strategies are found the "theoretically fastest possible runs" change. Also note that while TAS runs are theoretically possible, it may not be humanely possible or the difficult may make it basically humanely impossible. What I mean by this is TAS runs generally demonstrate what the game mechanics allow. It does not mean it's possible for a human to actually do what was done in the TAS run. It could be physically impossible for a human to replicate in real time or so difficult that it may as well be impossible.
KH2FM has no input lag or delay for menuing inputs, you can menu as fast as you can mash which means you can be in and out of menus before the menu finishes animating
