Though The Kestrel was blown up, the valiant crew was memorialized that day, known for their lightspeed rescue of the Federation, managing to speed through 8 sectors on only pure unbridled determination, destroying the rebel flagship at the cost of their own lives. Even to this day, people still look upon these valiant heroes, and say to themselves, “Holy shit that was fast.”
3:11 "you fools! you'll barely last a minute against that thing!" "That's all we need" I definitely got what I came for. I'm also surprised at how relatively recent this is. nice work keeping the game alive
I can just imagine being a pirate, a ship finally comes to the fake distress beacon I set, and before I can even hail them they jump away. What kind of ftl drive are they packing?
It's awesome. Some hacker made this application called libTAS, which inserts a bunch of library shims to give some Linux games support for save states and such.
Holy shit. I'm assuming that it's either a TAS of a predetermined seed, or that this is a TAS that reads the generated world and determines the fastest, safest route to get good fuel, weapons, and speed to the exit. That's cool. That was kinda crazy.
Couldn't you have killed the Flagship on phase 3 even more quickly if you'd kept the second Flak II you picked up? You could use the pre-igniter exploit to have both flaks and hull beams activate once you jump to the beacon. You get 14 projectiles in one volley, which would likely strip away the entire Zoltan shield. If you're lucky, it would even strip away the normal shields, granting the ability to deal damage with your hull beams. If you're not as lucky, it at least likely removes the need for a second volley to finish off the Zoltan shield.
First, I didn't loose time because of TAS timing (finished at the beginning of the fight). Also, I couldn't use pre-igniter exploit because I need one flak to be fully charged before jumping
The entire layout of a sector is generated when entering it, except for shop content. Rng advances continuously (about 20 values per 15 frames + manning), so that the next sector layout can be manipulated by waiting or moving crew around
Turn on subtitles. RNG was manipulated by setting system time, and a lot of battles are optional, you can choose not to fight (you typically get more scrap for fighting though)
There's only so much RNG manipulation you can do, at some point your degrees of freedom are restricted to the point where the probability you dodge every shot is extremely low
Is there an AI speed run where the AI wasn't able to see things we wouldn't normally be able to see, cause there's no way they could have gotten to sector 8 with encountering a single fight

emma survive. She just get out with a oxygen mask.
You could say that was faster than light
@@maxiify they truly were an FTL: Faster Than Light Advanced Edition
Shout out to Emma
That run was basically speeding up for 8 sectors to take out the flagship by ramming it. Awesome mutual kill!

You know how good it is when credits are twice longer than the actual run, amazing work as sual, you're the best!

YES.
You got me chuckling, what a great comment
The last boss battle is just insane. Really nice job !
I was wondering about last-input the whole run. I did not expect autofire to totally carry the last fight, excellent manipulation!
Now that's what we call a Federation Auto-Assault.
Heyy congrats on unlocking the Engi ship! It's pretty fun.
Good job Emma.
If anyone else is struggling to understand what's going on and why this video is so awesome, make sure to read the description and turn on subtitles!
Kestrel sacrifice will not be forgotten
Wait. We can TAS FTL now? What sorcery is this?
It's awesome. Some hacker made this application called libTAS, which inserts a bunch of library shims to give some Linux games support for save states and such.
@@tinkerttoy Kilaye isn't a hacker.
Alright, why FTL TAS speed run is claimed by random music company?
Yeah, wtf? The only music here is the ingame FTL one.
I just started playing this game and i see this lmao epic
Absolutly insane congrats :D
Holy shit. I'm assuming that it's either a TAS of a predetermined seed, or that this is a TAS that reads the generated world and determines the fastest, safest route to get good fuel, weapons, and speed to the exit. That's cool. That was kinda crazy.
je suis choqué ! les crédits dure plus longtemps que le TAS :D ( en tout cas je l'attendais depuis un moment se TAS mais pas déçus ^^ )
Lots of work, excellent result.

This is amazing. No fights until the last boss

@@KilayeFr Ah, that would make sense. It would take time an extra 20 seconds to charge that up.
Great Job Kilaye, as always!
How tf did I only now just notice that Chris Avellone was a guest writer?
How does RNG work more or less? Also are the flak shots RNG?
The entire layout of a sector is generated when entering it, except for shop content. Rng advances continuously (about 20 values per 15 frames + manning), so that the next sector layout can be manipulated by waiting or moving crew around
@@KilayeFr Very interesting and impressive!
how are you managing to skip the enemy confrontations, or are they not actual battles at all?
Turn on subtitles. RNG was manipulated by setting system time, and a lot of battles are optional, you can choose not to fight (you typically get more scrap for fighting though)
Nice run, do you have the hyperspace seed for this map?
Could this be faster using a ship with a stronger start? One with more power in weapons, or a stronger starting weapon? i.e. same seed with stealth B.
they are using a weapon glitch to kill the ship, not sure it matters
@@dustingmorgan What glitch?
a e s t h e t i c
Lovely work
If it's TAS, couldn't you just dodge every shot that comes your way if your evasion is greater than 0%?
There's only so much RNG manipulation you can do, at some point your degrees of freedom are restricted to the point where the probability you dodge every shot is extremely low
Do you have any plans for 100% runs for shovel knight? (100%+ for king knight)
The credits might be as long as the whole run hahaha
Почему так быстро?
Автор, при создании TAS, может хоть по 30 минут работать с каждым кадром, вымеряя всё до идеала, а мы видим идеальную скорость
@@DeGameBox_SRBT на момент написания комментария я ещё не был посвящён в TAS, теперь я знаю)
Is there an AI speed run where the AI wasn't able to see things we wouldn't normally be able to see, cause there's no way they could have gotten to sector 8 with encountering a single fight
It's a TAS
Ngl, TAS timing is a bit silly for this kind of game. I'd much rather see a fully optimized Phase 3 fight.
Посмертная награда))) ахах
La vidéo ne fonctionne pas !
Ça remarche pour moi
Man you could say this really was faster than light 😂………………… Ok yeah I deserve the dislike
