Verification is complete, but I told him to reject it unless the cases were all yes.

I think he's torn, cause one verifier said accept because it's an improvement and reject otherwise, and I don't want the OoT TAS all over again.

Ignore all that, TSA's ss was very good run, considering how long ago it was, no one else looking for break or route planning. Then again, with all the new stuff, beating TSA is no huge accomplishment. Do you not think your play quality is as good as TSA's?

His channel has done a Glitched speed run in 2:06:39, he says it's a new record (but emulated/TAS runs are not pure WRs).
I know it's done on a emulator because of the poor sound you get from the ocarina. In fact it looks like a TAS because the items are changed to fast.

Edit: He does add TAS in the tags so he knows what he is on about.

New run in around 2:13:20!!!

I'll post the actual time and the video when they're done.

Damn, that's a sick route, SD2.

Oh shit, I forgot to write about that one... When I was talking to Blizz about our TAS, we were looking into stuff in the PoW, then I found that one. I guess I didn't show it to anyone else though (Even though I'm positive I posted in IRC at least). Just so you don't think I'm lying, here's the emulator movie of it, if you open it with VBA you can see the recording date.

Sorry that I forgot to mention it :/.

I say you keep your submitted run so that it will (hopefully) come up on SDA. Then you can later on redo the run and include it.

Alright, I rewatched the TAS, and nothing in it can be applied to the current SS route.  Everything he does is slower.  The ocarina glitch book quest route is 5 seconds slower than my SS run, and that's with grabbing the second bottle factored out.  This also includes the savewarp and the faster route to the third book (which should be included in a new SS), both of which my run didn't have.

No changes to the SS route except the new PoW break and the faster route to the third book.

Also, I'm still not doing a new SS run until flippers skip is discovered. :P

2 questions:

1)
Quote
5.Biggest Bomb bag (holds 99), Quiver (holds 99), wallet (holds 999)


The European version only has 2 bomb bag expansions and goes up to 50 so the route will be different on the earlier 2004 version.

2) If the first 130 figurines are required for that locked heart piece, what about the final 6 (131-136) after completing the game?

I'm assuming that the European version just wouldn't get the upgrade.

Only the 130 figurines for entering the house are required, the other 6 can be skipped.  You may notice that mirror shield is skipped, for much the same reason last 6 figurines are skipped, it just adds another 30 minutes onto the run w/o doing anything new or interesting.

Re: [MC] Segmented and SS run

I forgot about the Mirror Shield upgrade.
Still very bizzare game design choice for a Zelda game to have 2 extra tasks locked until you complete the game.
So techically this is "100% of everything before completing the game".

Re: [MC] Segmented and SS run

#78
Pretty much.  This was the definition that Mike agreed with me on, and it's huge step forward from the old definition.

Re: [MC] Segmented and SS run

#79
That's cool then, best of luck to any runner with the 130 figurine collection.

Only just found this post, does anyone even run this game anymore?  I've started to run it recently(sad time of 3:13), also has anyone ever tested the Japanese version for time differences?

Re: [MC] Segmented and SS run

Ended up getting the J copy of the game, from what I can tell so far most of the text boxes take alot less time(Gentari I think is 1, 5 to 2, 6) need to get some time to get up to Vaati and some of his longer spiels, might make a video of the differences.
