Spyro 2 Enter Crush Comparison: abilities cheat vs. no abilities cheat (TAS)

Описание: Nothing in this video is really new. Nitrof is pretty much the man behind everything here.

The videos might be a couple frames off each other. Not sure why they couldn’t align perfectly, but it’s close enough.

I was surprised the new any% strat didn’t actually end up being faster, but they’re close. Not even a second difference. These also could maybe be tased better, but I’m confident they’re representative of the time difference. This any% strat is also only like 3 seconds faster than what’s in the old tas. But that’s still definitely better.

So it looks like even in a tas, cheat% would be slightly faster than any%. And in RTA, it would probably be easier to execute something closer to the swim strat here than the proxy strat. Getting that proxy, especially a high enough one, is pretty tricky.


Edit: Drashed’s new Any% segmented TAS gives a faster any% route that is even closer the cheat% route:    • [TAS] Spyro 2 - Any% in 5:42 (FDS Adjusted)  

I can’t tell if it’s faster or slower, but either way the routes are within mere frames of each other. So at this point, cheat% is practically reduced to any%. The only reason NG+ even saves any time over any% is just because of fireball. At best, starting the game with the all abilities cheat can only save a very small number of frames.
