THE FIRST COLLAB TAS!!!

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. This time will not count on any real-time rankings.

So, obviously this is an extremely minor improvement, and normally this wouldn't be worth uploading as an improvement. However, this is monumental in other ways. This is the first time that two people have ever worked on the same TAS in MK7, which is something that was completely impossible up until recently.

Thanks to the recent work by @B_squo, it's now actually possible to modify the inputs within the ghost file through hex editing. It's quite complicated, and as it stands this can only be used to improve the ends of runs (or potentially for combining runs on categories with a respawn, although I'm having a little trouble making that work), but we're working hard to try and use the recent developments to be able to have a way to collaborate more freely in the future.

This TAS marks what will hopefully be the future of TASing, and although the run itself is no different than any other TAS, it's the work that went into making this possible, the fact that two people worked on this run, and the fact that part of this run was made by modifying the inputs that makes this run truly special.

Because of the way that this was done, the majority of this TAS was created by @Hgtmk7 , so if you haven't checked out his TASes please go and do so, he's an amazing TASer and speedrunner, and we've worked together in the past with improving many of the strategies in TAS runs, as well as motivating each other to see how far we can push various tracks.

I'm not sure how many of you will actually have read all the way down to here, but if you did, thank you! It truly was an extremely special moment for me when I crossed the line after spending hours trying to modify the ghost. Even though the improvement is small, it felt massive to me, and I hope you enjoy this first of it's kind TAS :)
