Astérix Speedrunning: xxl

failentin

no matter which tardis

failentin

Interesting, maybe the trigger box for the fight was just a little bit bigger in the ps2 version?

martyste

bruh x10

martyste

the switch version is so poorly optimised

martyste

well this tardis works with the exact same setup if you have widescreen ( i didn't test without )

failentin

nice!

martyste

you're gusta here too.

martyste

the thing is, currently our closest evidence to the vikings trigger is that it's a Light activating the rectangle detector

martyste

but we are not 100% clear on what makes the Light run its events. Adrien told me that Spork once suggested that it's getting close to the respawn beacons and/or druid that activates the Light and therefore activates the rectangle

failentin

actually, my theory doesn't hold, since Romastered is directly based on the ps2 version, and there the Viking skip works...

failentin

interesting about the Light though!

martyste

you probably need a different setup for 4:3 aka unmodded console.

martyste

buuuut, if you attempt to tardis from the stack of 2 you have a tiny, tiny chance to land here on 4:3

martyste

the odds of it happening tho are... excruciatingly small, given my savestate abuse

martyste

1 success for 200+ tries? no thanks.

hesopesomeso

🤡 We should allow it.

martyste

i'm delighted to know a PS2 TAS can Tardis here, but I don't see how could we get a setup here

martyste

on PC everyone is expected to play with the same level of patching that allows any aspect ratio.

martyste

But on PS2 that's a bigger problem: you could only tardis with a jailbroken PS2 that can inject cheatcodes on your game as you play to get widescreen.

martyste

Same for Gamecube. And, one could argue that it's easier to achieve on Wii and Wii U.
