[TAS] Arcade Double Dragon by Sugarfoot in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/3658M.html. TAS originally published on 2018-03-25.
Set in a post-apocalyptic New York, Double Dragon is the story of Billy and Jimmy Lee, twin brothers trained in the fighting style of Sou-Setsu-Ken. Together, they manage a small martial arts training school, teaching their students in self-defense. One day, Billy's girlfriend, Marian, is kidnapped off the street by the "Black Warriors", a savage street gang led by a man named Willy. The Black Warriors demand the Lee brothers disclose their martial arts secrets in exchange for Marian's freedom. The Lee brothers set out on a rescue mission to crush the Black Warriors and save Marian.
Released on many systems, this game was so popular that they even released it for cellular phones and made a board game. Even a Hollywood movie (imdb.com/title/tt0106761/) has been made.
Sugarfoot plays through the original Arcade version in record time.
We also have TASes of the NES port (tasvideos.org/3211M.html) and the unlicensed Genesis port (tasvideos.org/2634M.html).

7:15 enemies moonwalk away, a guy and stone erupt from the floor.
What have you done! Give back my childhood memories!

[@CinderGamingChannel]

OMFG! Its about time! I've been wanting to see this game in a TAS run to improve my time! Lmao! Absolutely fantastic run! Fingers crossed for DD2: The Revenge TAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@markfloyd3038]

Cinder Gaming thanks! I actually integrated some things I learned from your speedruns as well while I researched my approach for this TAS.
I'm probably gonna TAS double dragon 2 over the next few months. I got a lot of homework to do for that one

[@markfloyd3038]

FYI - I'm not feeling very confident about TAS'ing Double Dragon 2 right now - I started doing RAM inspection, HP Data tables and Damage table research last night. Save states are incredibly buggy for DD2 :(
Lemme know if you're interested in Damage Tables and HP Data for all enemies in game - and I'll point you to Forum post when I make it available

[@CinderGamingChannel]

That is awesome sauce!

[@CinderGamingChannel]

Thats cool. I can honestly say that there is probably wwwaaayyy more involvement in making a TAS than a normal speedrun. I appreciate that, but I wouldn't have the slightest clue where to even start. I'm hopeful to learn how a TAS is put together one day though.

[@markfloyd3038]

TAS'ing is definitely more work :)
I just finished compiling first draft of health point analysis for Double Dragon 2. Take a look if interested: tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=20034
This will be useful for your RTA Speedruns - knowing exactly how much health each character has on each level, and how much damage everything is causing (I did the same for Double Dragon 1 as well: tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19968)

WTF was that boss fight at the end!? LMAO! Love it!

[@JoLiKMC]

What. I've _never_ seen this game played quite like _this,_ before! That was _wild!_

[@TeddyBelcher4kultrawide]

[@billt5055]

wow

[@Kwheelie]

Play this at 1.25.. the arcade version had soooo much lag

[@markfloyd3038]

Kwheelie I like the sped up version too but I'm not allowed to submit videos with modifications [submissions have to be 100% true to original game - bugs, lag and all]. the best I could do is use a bootleg ROM that actually did go into arcades [I wasn't able to record reliably with these last time I tried]

[@jonathanrobertson7984]

Sloooow down... Better on Master System! Amazing run.👍🏻

Pretty sure thats why he only choose 1 player for this TAS

[@conjured_up_skeletons6178]
