F-ZERO GX UNLEASHED! AX Cup Mini Grand Prix [TAS]

Описание: TOOL-ASSISTED SPEEDRUN

Made using Dolphin Emulator and the mod F-ZERO GX Unleashed: Legends by AKC12.
Version 5.0 just came out and it is definitely worth checking out. Features custom Machine Models by chmcl95

Roughly 5-10 hours of work to make
15,898 rerecords (save/load states)

I consider this run a LOTAD (low-optimization tool-assisted demo).
"LOTADs are similar to TASes, but they aren't necessarily optimized for speed or a whole run. They're more like proof-of-concept movies that showcase something without too much effort."

In this case, I didn't purely aim for the fastest possible strategy. Instead, I prioritized combat with other racers and interesting or fun strategies. :P

I initially wanted to challenge myself to complete a TAS for an entire grand prix, but I was ready to move onto other things after making 3 races...
So I decided to just make it a Mini Prix. :)

I always found the design of Hot Violet very striking and cool. When I saw the beautiful model by chmcl in GX, I knew I wanted to do something with it. Turns out it's a pretty fun machine in GX Unleashed.

Race 1 - Aeropolis: Screw Drive
0'48"999 - (16"652 + 16"074 + 15"412)
Slower than the actual Max Speed World Record. Even in a full-blown optimal TAS, it would be hard to break ASD.

Race 2 - Outer Space: Meteor Stream
0'55"280 - (20"879 + 18"417 + 15"984)
There's already a really cool TAS for this track by E-Dragon. I'm pretty happy with the interactions with other racers in this run, especially the corner cut jump on lap 2.

Race 3 - Port Town: Cylinder Wave
0'45"891 - (18"480 + 13"397 + 14"014)
The slight oblong shape of the track made shift boosting slightly harder than it is on Cylinder Knot. There's still a ton of potential for janky interactions on this track.
