[TAS] NES Shatterhand by Cardboard in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2010-06-24
Shatterhand is a bit like Batman. However, Shatterhand is longer, has no walljumps, and is a lot laggier. On the other hand, in this game, the main character can buy a powerup to give him a cool brown vest, doubling his punching power, and this vest lasts until the player takes damage three times (it even lasts between stages).
This movie by Cardboard is about 24 seconds faster than the previous version by JXQ ( tasvideos.org/... ), largely due to decreased lag.
--------
Viewers who have photosensitivity problems may want to avoid watching as there's a high amount of flashing visuals during boss fights that can become uncomfortable to watch.

best NES/Famicom music
just comes up in your mind out of nowhere
and it takes you back to 90s

[@Endru85x]

One my fav soundtracks from NES, with Kickmaster and some of Castelvania 3 being in top.

[@123TauruZ321]

This game is one of the best for nes. Top 10 at least for my part. Probably even top 5.

[@neukkongkham7347]

One of my favorite childhood games.

watched the race on gdq then watched the bot machinegun punch everything... humans have no chance

[@omerbinseleem1p0y11]

either this guy has superhuman reflexes or he has practised his ass off cause controlling the character in this game is not a joke and this is one of the hardest game for a speedrun only because of how slippery the character movement is

[@starwarriorterra8373]

This video is what is known as a Tool-Assisted Speedrun (TAS for short). For TASes, games are slowed down or played frame-by-frame (usually alongside memory viewers for extra stats) to craft a theoretical perfect run of said game (at least with the current knowledge and research of the game in question). These are not human runs, nor are they trying to advertise themselves as such, but they are a showcase of just how far you can push games.
That's not to say that all techniques shown aren't possible in RTA runs, but there are a group of techniques that are deemed "TAS-only" due to their insane degree of difficulty. There's still an incentive to get a faster time within TAS communities, but TASes are more of a collective effort than a pure competition, due to the pool of research put into many of these games.

I don't understand why you are ending the levels with more than one health. There is several spots you could have taken damage And been boosted further along, which would avoid the time it takes for health to count down at level end

[@Avrelivs_Gold]

early damage would take away punch powerup so it's only good at very end where no dmg would remain faster

[@danielpowers5891]

Playing this game now and its hard as nails.

Wonder if anyone could do a TAS of the Japanese version of this game called "SolBrain"?

What was wrong with the last run?

[@Blunette5194]

Allegedly it's lag reduction that makes the improvement here. Says so in the description.

В нашем городе, у всех была версия, где была зацикленная битва с боссом на лифте. Его убиваешь, а далее опять битва с ним (беконечно)...

[@games4us132]

у нас была версия зацикленная на подводном боссе. Там ещё в роле гг бегал робот и когда два раза по 3 одинаковых собираешь - у него пушка появляется.

Same, i got a cartridge where this game was labeled as Robocop 4.
