Even TAS has limits

Maybe some cut ideas just weren't meant to be. But hey, so long as you had fun giving it a go. Just thought I'd unload all my junk TASes on y'all. Maybe one of you will have a stroke of inspiration and find a way to make these work!
A04: Not gonna happen. Think it would be a few hundreths slower anyway.
A06: Doesn't seem like there's enough speed, but maybe some variation of this is possible somehow, who knows.
A14: Old alt. cut for A14, just wanted to do it for completeness sake.
B03: Cool to see this would have beaten the old no-cut WR, if we hadn't found the faster version to the left first.
B04: I believe.
B12: Two slightly slower routes on B12. Should be possible to make these faster somehow.
B13: Random idea I had. Even if you had some miracle speed to get through the loop, I'm sure the route would be slower anyway.
C06: Really thought the first bounce would work. Wasn't so sure about the 2nd route, but if you can get it to work, it should be faster.
D14: Two cut ideas don't seem to be worth it, even if they sound good on paper. The noseboost set up could potentially work though.
E01: Old route idea I had. Incredibly difficult to make it work, even for TAS. Would be 2-3 seconds slower anyway, but looks cool.
Now... what should I try next...

Not sure if you'd be interested, but people used to make TAFs (Tool assisted freeruns) in the Mario Kart Wii scene all the time. Mkw is known for having jank physics while also having the most control over your vehicle compared to other mk games

It's easy to look at TAS' finished runs and call him a perfect player, but this video really shows he's human just like us.

[@NihongoWakannai]

This is a funny joke, but you're also kinda right.
People forget all the hard work that actually goes into programming a TAS run and how many failures there are in the process of making that perfect run.

I keep seeing this TAS guy everywhere, and honestly these practice runs are still as insane as his actual runs

[@danyav4635]

You know that TAS means a Tool Assisted Speedrun, which is practically a bot playing a game with pre-loaded inputs at given times and it's not just a player, right?

Thankyou for using tas to find rta viable routes instead of how many times you can fly across the stadium on 2 wheels

[@albex8717]

From a non-player's perspective, it's really interesting to see failed ideas. It's a nice contrast against the glory stories told by Wirtual whose content I enjoy quite a bit.

[@BigDBrian]

I like this. I like this a lot. thank you for making this.

[@shminge7779]

you should try the other alt cut on a14
ow in the start, drive along the dirt under finish road, take cp, use the hill near the start to jump to fin
when I tried it I got +1-2s ish, but i'm sure it's able to be done faster (probably not faster than normal route though
Also a07 cut haha

[@ThePCguy17]

Worth noting that for every successful TAS there were hundreds if not thousands of failed runs where the inputs were manipulated in not quite the right way to pull off the awesome shit TASers like to show off. And even the successes sometimes end up more like this than as RTA-destroying world records.

[@Laiteux]

3:32 you might be able to land with your nose down and do a slight nosebug to the right, might help to gain the almost two missing seconds, idk

[@fernn55]

I'm not a track mania player but I thought you had to have a certain amount of speed?

[@Laiteux]

@@fernn55 depends on the nosebug strenght you want, there are a lot of RTA replays using small nosebugs to angle their car

[@greenstonegecko]

not all tas'es are created equal.

1:01 no. Just- no.

[@Matyanson]

I tried to do the first b12 cut RTA for some time now...(bug cp). Well, I think its time to finally give up.

[@Matyanson]

Why the f have I started doing the cut again after 2 years?? I completely forgot about this video wow

anyone from 2024 that can tell us if any of these have ben done by now?

I wish people don’t constantly come up with acronyms

[@callofwagamingpupolins482]

On a06 i think you can do an uberbug after first cp

[@witkopl3343]

1:40 I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS LAST YEAR XD BUT I DIDN'T SHARED THIS TO COMMUNITY

[@MrDrumzOrz]

At 3:28 can you get the bug CP on the bottom and bs/nb out of it? Saves the slowdown of having to get all the way up to the CP and also having to overwall to fin after

[@Hello_hi]

Honestly, if ion see no 30 consecutive nosebugs every second in a TAS, then ion consider it at a TAS

[@Atomguy112]

This is interesting to watch.
It is also good practice to document theory crafting.

[@meable3763]

0:17 land in a Uberbug after this jump? take cp then bounce off something maybe

[@meteorname]

It's been two years :) wait someone already commented that goddamnit

[@stick8085]

I'm telling you, sometime in the future, some of these will actually happen and save time.

[@meehdrescher]

Jav, I suggest you try A08 again, Glitch3d found out that the minimum speed for a noseboost is 391, and that could be huge for A08 TAS

[@germanothomas4799]

I don't know if you had brute force back then, but it's worth redoing them

[@Chizypuff]

Creative routing is so much more interesting to me than nose-bug spam

Yeah nosebugs and noseboosts are going to takeover tas speedruns instead..

if so can you show a video of how close you got.

Hol'up, how did you create that skin?
It reminds me of my old TMO skins which I could create by glitching the game via Alt-Tab spamming, but which unfortunately I couldn't replicate on my newer setup!

[@justaguy311]

It's not big surprise since TAS projects are made by humans, not 100% perfect bots who know every small detail of each map

3:00 idk if you could but try climbing over the wall next to the booster? i've tried doing it once and got a boost of speed before getting over the wall

[@Pomaweragido]

Finally this TAS guy shows some fail runs. What a relief that its not just me who makes misstakes.

[@BlacKnignt]

It's nice to see tas runs that aren't just noseboost epilepsy runs, even if they didn't work out

[@SpeckyYT]

Technically, the limits of a TAS is the game itself

[@kryum]

what does RTA stands for ?

[@JGMeador444]

"Real Time Attack" is what it stands for. In a comment like, "+0.8 seconds compared to RTA", it means that a human playing the track has finished it 0.8 seconds faster than the TAS run did.

[@ExodiumTM]

You got the inputs for the C06 run? :)
