    Really interesting how TAS strats differ so much from RTA strats, glitches that would save 5 minutes in RTA aren't even worth it in the world of TAS!
  • @bobjoe3492
    This TAS guy sounds insane. No wonder why he's not allowed on the speedrun records Btw crit qclaw isn't under 1%, it's just over at 1.25% (0.0625×0.2)×100
  • @UnopenedClosure
    6:00 the IVs could potentially make the RNG requirements even worse: if the Zigzagoon is -Speed with low IV and the Ralts is +Speed with high IV, it’s possible for the two to be speedtied, so you’d need to also win the coinflip on turn 2
  • @eugloopydilemma
    Honestly I'm so impressed that human runs are so close to the TAS. Only about a 25 minute difference ? 25 seconds can be a huge deal in speedrunning, but for an rngfest like Pokemon I was expecting the TAS to be able to chop off an hour at least.
  • @LuisSilva-yc5fz
    requiring multiple repeated turns to be crit quick claw miss turns is hilarious, and it's funny that it works
  • @rooislangwtf
    RNG manips in pokemon is truly the embodiment of "Reality Can Be Whatever I Want"
  • @lukaskback9710
    Damn, Swellow hitting that 87.5% range on Flannery was kinda crazy
  • TAS runs are always amazing and the theoretically perfect run is so fascinating every time, even if they follow the same route as the normal runs but expertly executed.
  • @yep2yel
    Thank you for noting that humans create the TASes. A lot of people think our work is done by bots, and while a lot of that may be true, we create those bots in the first place. Plus you don't need those bots to make a great TAS. They're for really complicated stuff (unfortunately gen 3 pokemon is one of them. I've seen the explanation on tikevin83's channel and I would dread having to deal with what they deal with)
  • @Astar24653
    Man. Now every time i see facade in game i read it as fakadee.
  • GameFreak, I've never been so happy for your tomfoolery and hilarious mischief when designing Pokemon games. WHY WOULD YOU GIVE THE CHAMPION'S AGGRON, A POKEMON WITH 60 SP ATTACK, THUNDER?! I don't know why, but thanks for doing that. You made this run possible.
  • @RobinClaesson
    Mistake at 15:15 ? You get Steel Wing from Steven in granit cave, Winona gives you Aerial Ace
  • @rymoe07
    8:50 A Quick claw activation happening on the same turn as a Critical hit actuall has about a 1.25% chance of happening, not less than a 1% chance
  • @VeronicaJae
    The Yu-Gi-Oh Forbidden Memories music was a nice touch <3

    MandJTV: "If it isn't 100% accuracy, it's 50% accuracy." TAS: "If my opponent's moves aren't 100% accurate, they're 0%."
  • @vinny4765
    Regular runs used to use the Abra trick for getting back to Petalburg, but now days we skip the Abra, get poisoned in Flannery's gym and knock ourselves out.
  • @GavinAstraWolf
    Yoooo, I love that you used the Duelist of the Roses OST in the background in this video. That goes so hard!
