[TAS] Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment any% in
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 เม.ย. 2018
- Frame count: 126254
Re-record count: 26815
Done on the linux DRM-free version (3.3) using my own-made TAS tools (github.com/clementgallet/libTAS).
The route is very close to the unassisted speedrun route. Stage order is the same, curios and upgrades are identical. The main difference is that I don't take the 4th darkness upgrade because it barely saves time (about 1 sec in Stranded Ship), except if a cycle can be saved during the last boss.
There are very few techniques that are specific to the TAS, mainly:
- hop slash: by slashing on the ground and jumping one or two frames after, you will slash at the beginning of your jump without triggering any dash slash. This is very useful to attack enemies in the air if they are low enough, or to move while slashing. The only inconvenient is that the slash starts after the jump, so you loose 1/2 frames compared to a grounded slash
- fast fall: by pressing jump again during a jump for at least two frames, it will instantly cancel upward velocity and Specter will start to fall. This is very useful to make very short jumps (for starting rails or breaking blocks from jumping) and more generally by having more control in jump trajectories. However, it only works for regular grounded jumps, it does not work on walljumps, dash slashes, fans, green jelly boosts, etc. Also, it does not work underwater.
Huge thanks to the Shovel Knight discord community for their feedback, advices and enthusiasm! - เกม

No.
She didn't even have time to tell him anything. 26:40
Specter knight: * dies and gets revived *
Specter knight: shiT I leFT *THE **_FukcING OVEN ON_*
Specter knight: * gathers order in 30 minutes *
Why did that joke just wooosh past my head
“come over”
“I can’t I surrendered my free will and I’ve been forced into eternal servitude”
“my parents aren’t home”
@Adam Senzai that's cool and all but show me one person who asked
@Adam Senzai come on man common sense can tell you that this is a joke. And honestly it never gets old.

Black Knight comes to challenge you. Enchantress appears and blows herself up. This really scares Black Knight, so he beats it.
Then small apprentice Boi comes in with visible confusion on his face
Specter knight jumps out of the 10 story building
These types of comments are the reason I enjoy TH-cam
I generally find it funny that in this run, each time the Enchantress appears she basically just immediately explodes and disappears again.
Baz shows up, yells, and then leaves.
This could've been titled 'Specter of Torment but every time he gets a powerup the speed doubles'.
NameForComments Quadruples*

The run looks like a normal TAS until he buys the upgrades. Then, holly shoot, does he fly trough the stages.
i love the part where baz just interrupts and poses for a few seconds before leaving
but seriously, great work again! this is such a joy to watch
Baz: *looks down
Baz: Ima go down there
26:40 guess he just dies
"i remember it so vividly. just lyin dead there. i will never forget that"
bro just went "nope, suppressing THAT memory."
Enchantress: You will gather me an unstoppable order!
Specter knight 30 mins later: Ight I’m back
Enchantress:It couldn't have been that long,it was 30 minutes.
*order shows up*
Enchantress:Alright,that was impressive.
Feat accomplished: hurry up!
This must have been played so slow that they told you to hurry up.
4:18 showoff
:0
It's a tas
I believe he's trying to rack up dash slashes for the dash slash achievement.
2:48
Enchantress: “Whoops sorry Specter, teleporter went wrong.”
Jesus, imagine being a teacher and teaching a 9 year old how to play guitar and then he suddenly starts doing a whole song with riffs
More like straight to Flight of the Bumblebee
The grim reaper when the world population doubled in 40 years.
LMFAOOOO
The grim reaper during the coronavirus epidemic.
Now this is a good comment unlike the " I'm home alone" ones.
24:02 Tinker Knight didn't even make it out of sight of his own workshop! Poor guy, but very impressive!
8:00, ah yes, sewer surfing.
man i love specter of torment. hands down my favourite game. controls like absolute butter.
7:07 *Leaked gameplay of Shadow The Hedgehog 2*
Was that autoscroll in Tinker Knights stage supposed to give me anxiety?
Yes. Usually the purpose of TAS during autoscrollers
I love how the Explodatorium's music is _perfect_ for being the first stage Rail Mail is used on and showing just how absurdly fast Specter Knight can get going
32:25 it was obvious this was a TAS before but he’s just flexin’ on us at this point
That one isn't really hard to do. Like at all. You just use rail mail on the spinning rods, and once you hit the bottom, as long as you're grinding, it'll happen
Buddy watch 32:25 - 33:20
HellFire4gZ oh...I've never done that in SoC
@@NeonWasInUse I mean, it says tas in the title
idk wtf is going on but it looks really badass
My favorite parts of the run is the auto-scroll sections where the bot just gets bored and does random shit. It’s just so funny and cool to watch
It's not a bot. All of the inputs were coded in by a human, with tools like frame advance and savestates
Time?
7:47 the way the gameplay almost goes with the music is so enjoyable to watch
Bony Hawk Pro Skater 2
2:24 on the subtitles, “every 3 hits” and “health is a multiple of 3”.
Some people may get confused on this, HP displayed in this game is 2HP per “orb”, thus the smallest unit is 1/2 orb (small dot).
I had no idea there was commentary! Guess I need to rewatch the video now with the commentary
A speedrunners worst nightmare is an autoscrolling level. Shit happened SO early on here
21:45
Seizure knight
melee fox wavedash
9:32
Donovan and Luan, the fastest people.
I love movment based speedruns especially TAS runs
His rail armor skill should be his default ability. It's too much fun to not to have this armor.
Honestly i played specter of torment for the first time recently and as soon as i discovered the rail mail i havent unequipped it since its the most fun gear
ngl my first playthrough I only used the armor that protects from spikes and falls but now I only use rail mail lol
I can’t believe you actually found a way to make the wayward soul useful
It’s actually incredibly powerful even if you’re not speed running. It shreds bosses
No
Oh my god the music synching at 7:48 is amazing
Really good TAS, man! i really appreciate how you explain the strategies and stuff in the captions
2:49 Enchantress just pops in and explodes, and Specter knight goes on his merry way.
11:03
Me leaving the mines in minecraft because it is already night.
Ce TAS est mon préféré des 3 ! L'utilisation de l'arme rebondissante contre les boss et pour les interrupteurs c'est très classe (et voler à travers les murs aussi évidemment).
GG pour le boulot !
Merci !
Let's have a moment of silence for Missy that bounced the whole speedrun...
Sometimes you forget its a TAS until you see ridiculously unsafe strats in autoscrollers or music syncs
Watch this at any part after about the 13:00 mark and just think:
Yacht Club are working on a ninja game now. HYYYYYPE
21:38 Pure panic and anxiety.
24:10 "Another day at the office..."
7:08
The zombie of minecraft when it is day.
NOW THIS IS TRULY EPIC!
Dat cannonballs part tho holy shit
That was one hell of a show
That was awesome man...
Specter Knight just takes Terrorpin with him after the plains.
2:48 Hi bye
Luan is the real speedrunner here
Ngl the screwing around in autoscrollers is 1/2 why I watch... my favorite will always be shovel knight vs slimes battle
YEASSSSS it's here
I didn't even thought about how you can wall jump in 1 block ladder spaces
Tieze's theme is like, GOOD. He died so fast the music didnt kick in.
Edit: this goes for any song here really
crazy to think that this is only a few minutes shorter than the human WR
Matthieu Rappeneau Specter Knight's apeedrun is kinda short so this 5 minutes is a lot
5 minutes is a lot of time in speedruns
I'm just waiting to see the first King of Cards TAS, but it takes a long time to do that it would seem, due to it being very different from the other 3 campaigns because it has actual levels with goals at the end instead of the normal formula of a boss at the end of the stages.
Why rail mail is br0ken: the tas
Damn that was delicious!
5:52
It seems that Specter Knight is very desperate to regain his humanity.
I bet this game must be super fun to speedrun
Watching this at x1.5 is super wild
i see you 3 SK TAS, and i really enjoy it, its beautifull, you don less time in plage knigh, only need one relic, in shovel, nice trick with proppel sword and gold fist, and the specter, is perfect, exelent TAS, i waith when update the emulator and make one bloostained curse of the moonlight tas
The enchantress when she sees specter's rad skating skills:
Johnny Specter needs to go fast and feet are too slow
I guess you could say this TAS is SPECT(er) tacular
The ultimate Sk8r boi. He said see you later boi...
12:16 he phased threw the ground
I’m convinced you took gamer steroids
7:08
I feel like I can make a joke about how fast Specter Knight is going, but nothing comes to mind.
Wanna see my teleport over there?
Wanna see me do it again?
Specter Knight when told that he can regain his humanity if he recruits 8 powerful knights to form an order led by an evil sorceress who will rule the world.
(
I know it's a very bad joke)
something funny is that i’ve used the slashing without hitting trick many times without TAS in my pacifist challenge
12:18
"Watch me swoos right in!"
Holy...
how about a speedrun of the super rail mail cheat code? would be fun to watch
The what?
Boss : *Exists*
TAS : *Thanos snap*
Take a shot whenever specter stops moving.
You won't even take a sip.
30:53 I can't tell if that's absolute panic or just showing off...
Tbh I do this and your mind while you're doing it is PANICKING THE FUCK OUT and after you do it it's just "Yeah i'm cool"
Mom said it was my turn to play in the void
@Ties de Jong Eh,I mean there's no way to save time but it doesen't look that cool
It's a TAS, so it's definitely showing off.
When I first saw this thought is was 30+ hours
12:18 1-frame window?
Could this be done in NG+ with the Will/Darkness fusion?
Well yes if you are at this speed rate you can
Honestly, I think spectre of torment was better than the base game.
Some soundtracks were better, and specter's mechanics were more enjoyable. The story was good too, though the main story was better imo
7:13 HE SHREDD
Oh god
YOU CAN GRIND ON THE SPIKES???
With the black suit you can
It turns the ground into rails for you and the spikes does count as a part of the ground
I'm Sonic! A little blue ball of super energy in an extremely handsome package. On my planet, everyone was after my power, so I came to y
11:46 Why did it wait a moment before hitting the thing?
...I should learn to speedrun.
the amount of flexing here is unreal
12:16
How did you do that?
Turn on subtitles
9:46
How did you do that?
I was just far enough to do a normal slash in the air, which you can cancel into an upslash
12:16 excuse me?
Just out of curiosity how many of these tricks are humanly impossible?
How do you do a TAS on this game?
LibTas, for Linux
Not bad... not bad... Now do it with game+
global pot cycle:barely made it
me:don´t you mean Barrely?:)
Me seeing this guy cornering the f*ck out of black knight:
„Oh sh*t that was fast!“
The comment section:
„Get the f*ck out of the speedrunning section!“
What was he cooking?
21:45 is he teabaggin? bro
Nah he be flexing
