Mirror's Edge - Prologue TAS (

Merry Christmas!
I worked on this intermittently for the last few months in my spare time. It is one demo from start to finish; no splices. Huge credit to ‪@succostacos‬ for inventing the first chain and also for theorising lots more ideas! He also helped to get that final strang to pop in the last chain as I struggled to get it.
Why the slow climb over the rail? You can't speedvault it without a run-up into the beamer. It wasn't worth setting up. The slow climb isn't as slow as it looks ;)
Also why the standstill before the camera beamer? It seems like unnecessary time loss, but it was very necessary as I had to line up the exact coordinates and exact velocity with another demo that had already achieved the chain. The inputs of this other demo were then copy/pasted into the main demo.
As for me, life is better without the game. The past 18 months have been enlightening as I've been able to focus on other things. This little TAS project was a minor commitment I could withstand if worked on in small bursts.
I hope you are all well and enjoying the holidays. I have another package that will drop into your sub feed tomorrow, so keep an eye out. After that, there are no plans. Back to retirement.

Holy moly, what an elegant TAS, amazing to see. It's even better to see you've found a balance between life and speedrunning. Happy holidays, Req!

[@Hekigan]

i've had enough of this TAS guy how does he do it

[@matthew_flipnote]

I dont know, he must be really skilled i guess

[@wyvarieruns3652]

That starting chain all the way to the door is beyond sick! Big props to you and Tacos for making that happen 🙏

[@matejspatenka]

I am happy to see you a new video from you, these are some strats that I have never seen before, really fun to watch.

[@akhils2566]

this is so awesome

[@3-d.tf2]

Damn that's dope, nice tas req

[@Isenlyn]

I think this is beyond crazy. XD
With TAS the possibilities are insane. But even just finding them become a real task. Spoke of those starts are just... something.
Live how the end looks so bad in comparison because of the wait for the chopper. ^^

[@Droeftoetur]

Absolutely insane

[@billytrajkov2115]

god

[@rofflcopter333]

Nice run Req! What exactly is meant by TAS ?

[@TheReq]

Tool Assisted Speedrun. It wasn't played by anybody. Instead, each frame was "coded" with keyboard/mouse inputs to simulate a perfect run. It's a showcase, not a real speedrun :)

[@Malfurinify]

Is Reaction Time/Slowmo even needed in TAS? Does it help with collision when landing the chains?

[@TheReq]

Yeah. We can use reaction time in chapter speedruns because it slows the timer down also (no time lost). A full game TAS would be different and using reaction time would be slower in most places.

[@MirrorsEdgeFan.]

Are you back?

[@TheReq]

No

[@joseoropeza444]

Community segmented part 2 in the future would be a dream come true

[@thegreathadoken6808]

What just happened?

[@user-st5lb4nb7b]

[@snkudryavtsev]

How’s the garden growing?

[@TheReq]

The flowers are wilted. Not doing my job good enough ;)

[@snkudryavtsev]

@@TheReq I honestly miss your vids, that was a lot of fun :) Thanks for all of them!

[@krimsonotaku3546]

Наверное так играть интереснее...или нет?

[@TheOctopusDude12]

Absolutely disgusting......
