[TAS] Numan Athletics Arcade (4 players)
340Tool-assisted superplay (TAS) of Numan Athletics Arcade (4 players)
What is a TAS? https://www.youtube.com/c/Prog61/about
Notes:
-The game awards players 6,3,1,0 points for each event, but if two players finish in 1st place, the points will be 6,6,1,0 or if two players finish in second place, players will get 6, 3,3,0.
If 3 players finish in 1st place, they will get 6,6,6,0, if all 4 players finish in 1st place, the game will award 6,6,6,6 points
But if 2 or more players finish 1st at the end, the game will choose only one as the winner, see my other video: https://youtu.be/f98Omd5-VmU , but I don't know how the game chooses which player wins .
==Turbo Dash==
-It seem that the best speed is reached only if you do not tap faster than 3 frames by button. (20 bps)
-The pattern I use is: 111333111333... anything faster or slower result in a slower time.
-I use exactly the same pattern for the 4 players. It seems that it is not possible for 2 players to finish with the same time.
==Interceptor==
-Since the delay between enemy shots is random, the score difference is random.
==Missile Toss==
-Contrary to 'Turbo Dash', maximum speed is reached by tapping 1 and 3 as fast as possible. The TAS alternate button 1 and 3 one frame down, one frame up (60bps)
-The optimal angle is reached by holding button 2 for 19 frames
-It seems the 4th player is not able to throw as far as the other 3, maybe I should have tried the second time.
==Vs. Express==
-The game seem to not let you get over 99.60m
-To get the maximum, you have to continue tapping even if the power meter is at the maximum. The TAS tap at 60bps
==Tower Topper==
-Each jump is made to the last possible frame
-With all 3 at the same score, Sharon is the winner again
-I don't know why Harry was slower, should I have tried the second try?
==Nonstop Rock Chop==
-Falling rocks have a slight, probably random delay (you can see this with a freeze frame).
-The TAS takes its time so that everyone gets the same score at the end. (It is possible to go faster, Sharon made 43 in my other video: https://youtu.be/lz6hQbj27Hw)
-Since all 4 players finished with the same score, the winner seems to be randomly determined at the end, or does the game reward the lowest score? Once the clock has stopped, they all break another rock and points are awarded based on that last break (6,3,1,0). If you watch frame by frame the rock exploding, you can clearly see that the order was: Bongo, Harry, Masaemon, Sharon, but the game awarded the points to: Harry 6, Snaron 3, Bongo 1, Masaemon 0. I have no explanation for this.
==Niagara Jumps==
-Is there a Niagara in Zambia??? (But according to Google, there are Victoria Falls in Zambia, maybe it's this one?)
-For the first jump you must not jump too late to keep your speed at 250km/h but the next 2 jumps must be done on the last possible frame before falling into the fall.
-On the first try, Masaemon made a shorter jump, but he did like the others on the second try, I don't know why because I copied the same pattern for each player.
