Ocarina of Time / Majora's Mask TAS Competition V2 Task 2

Edit: Scroll down to see task 2!

I decided to start a new competition again, because those ones always were a lot of fun.

TASK 1:

Enter Kakariko coming from Death Mountain at night and collect 4 of the 5 Golden Skulltulas.

Timing starts at the frame you get control over link and ends when the text of the last Skulltula appears. You are allowed to use any items apart from Nayru's Love. There's no limit of Bombchus and Bombs.

Here's a Save State, so preparing for the task gets easier for you:

Awesome, I've been wanting to compete in one of these for a while.

When's the M64 due?

Great! I'll try to do this.  :)

There's no sound when I load the m64 file... Is this what's supposed to be or is there something wrong with my setup?

results can be seen in the first post now.

Will videos of the runs be provided, too?

Compilation video for task 1 coming soon. here's task 2:


TASK 2:

Enter Woodfall coming from the Swamp (Woodfall Temple has to be up, but not cleared yet) and reach the 50 rupee chest behind the Owl Statue as fast as possible.

Timing starts at the frame you get control over link and ends when you open the chest. You are allowed to use any items apart from Goron Mask and Bunny Hood. There's no limit of Bombchus and Bombs. Before I forget it, it isn't allowed to warp to the Owl Statue!

Here's a Save State, so preparing for the task gets easier for you:

Sexy goal, i hope i can do it this time  :-\!

I think I'll actually try this one! TASing OoT/MM seems fun! :)

Could somebody tell me like the "perfect frames" for bombchu hovering or megahovering? or is there a resource somewhere about it? would be appreciated. thanks  :D

Yeah i saw that page i meant like after you do the megaflip when you should use a chu for optimal distance and things like that... thanks tho :)

That really depends on where you're megahovering to, I don't know the exact frame data though so you'd have to talk to someone like Swordless or Grunz for that.

I've changed the due date to give some people a bit more time. if you need even more time, tell me. the number of submissions is pretty disappointing at the moment :/

I know that you have never seen this username haha, but I'm going to join up. I'll try my best. And I'm not new to TASing I use to TAS sm64 just haven't been active on TASvideos or on sm64.org for like 3 months now nor have a TASed since then. I'm going to do my best though trying to get back into it even with school :]. My old user name is Midnightbum you may or may not have seen me berfore.

I would've joined but I dislike tasing mm :/

Grunz I went to the exact same place you did and got 5 rupees....

I'm working on this, will submit soon P:

I think, I might have to join on next task. I have to learn tricks. :/

so is there anyone actually really going to submit a run?

because nobody did yet and due date was yesterday :-\

Yes, the chest has only 5 rupees.
I already said that in the video.
Doesn't matter actually.  ;)

I would join, but Mupen doesn't load the states for some reason :/ Plus I prefer OoT.

Im not really much of a TASer, but Ill give this a shot. I can guarantee that the run is gonna be pretty bad considering I dont know jack about TASing MM or OOT (like SS or HESS or whatever else) but Ill do it. Whether its good or not is a different story lol

I sent you a link to my video and savestate yesterday on youtube... so check there if you havent... just want to make sure you got it :l

grunz i was gonna do one

Maybe you should increase the time to TAS to somewhere around 3-4 weeks rather than 1-2 weeks. I was going to join but got caught up when I suddenly got an apartment and had to move out of my parents house. I guess there's not many people doing exactly that but if you check this forum once a week it might be easy to miss!

Another suggestion: Keep the Ocarina TAS competitions and Majora TAS competitions to their respective forum. There's nothing saying you can't have two simultaneously or maybe one in each category every other month... Make it a regular thing! But I know that me and probably many other that hang on this end of the forums doesn't really run MM a lot and vice versa...

That might make more people to join :).

So, Grunz, any news on this task? Just wondering if anyone else submitted and stuffs :3

I feel like this competition is going to end just like your first one.
It's too bad because I was very interested with this.

Next time stick to oot, it is way more fun to TAS and you'll probably get more entrants with it!!

Hey, I know that the deadline for this is over, but I'm still going to try it as practice in TAS

But, even though there is no limit in the bombs/bombchus that we're able to use, we still have to use what was given to us in the savestate, and no more, right? I mean, maybe we could leave to get more bombs, but then that would be a huge time waster.
