Short Task/Competition Thread

[thundrio]

oh stop trying to do stupid TAS only tricks and just focus on beating the noobs like me who cant even staircase hover

[Majora MIM]

I'm part of it! 
I've recorded two videos today after fifty or so tries, but I'll try to optimise a bit more.

Task 1 is pretty sweet. I'll get started on it soon.

PS: Is save-warping allowed?

Save warping won't take the same time on N64 that on GC or VC. So it may be unfair... But Runnerguy may convert time?

No. If he converts the time that VC gets a disadvantage on but not what N64 gets disadvantages on, I'm leaving the Zelda community.

Pokey stop being a retard and win by a large enough margin that it doesn't matter the version. You know you can beat 90% of the competition through the proper route alone.

I agree with Runnerguy that everyone should try to submit a run.  It would be nice to see how strats are come up with across the generation and you can learn ideas from the very good players and learn ideas from the average player.

I'm gonna say no on savewarping, and just for the future I'll say you can deathwarp and continue if you find a situation that is faster in.

I'll bein on the next one. Right now I have too much school work. I might try this one if I can find enough free time to plan a route and everything.

Not when you go around and tell other people's routes.

except pokey, the people who need to be told about what the proper route is, are also the people who have not played the game enough to do some of the tricks required.

[Runnerguy2489]

Just a reminder if you are planning to enter or submit something for this task, you have until the end of Sunday to do it.

Also, I was trying to think how I could present the videos and the times. I could probably add them all to one video to put on youtube like what was done for the TAS competition, or I could upload them as seperate videos and then just have links here. What is everyone's thoughts on that? Or any other ideas?

[thundrio]

just a couple ideas of how to present them. the TAS competition tasks were a lot shorter than this one so playing them back to back worked well, if it was done with this 8+ minute task, people could get bored. i dont know if this is in your capabilities (as in you have the required software), or if its what you meant, but my suggestion is to "cohost" all the entries on one screen so they all play at once, or maybe 2-3 at a time so it goes faster (you could always just show the top x entries and just list the times of the others)

[ZFG]

I was thinking putting them all in 1 video with them all side by side so it wouldn't end up as a 1 hour+ video.  The only problem with that is if there gets to be too many entrants it will can really crowded, but you could do what some of the TAS task competitions do and just not show some of the slowest attempts and limit the video to the 4-6 fastest runs.

[Runnerguy2489]

Yeah my biggest concern was just having a video that was an hour or even longer where people would get bored. I like the idea of having a lot of them on the screen at once, so I'll mess with that.
