Only in Gen 1 do OHKO moves work on targets that are on a higher level. From Gen 2 onwards OHKO moves need the user to be at least the target's level, so that's why they aren't viable for Lapras.

[gabraltar]

it's worth noting that the ohko moves would not have worked on lapras either way due to its higher level

iirc, bike dismounts save the most time if the background music (bgm) remains the same when going from one area to another. this is because dismounting the bike immediately returns the bgm to the default one so dismount before leaving an area prevents the game from having to deload the bike bgm *during* the load

12:08 Wait a second, Piloswine isn't until postgame! I recognize that footage :P

Honestly, I'd love to see a Speedrun animation of this Clefable, considering how it goes through the whole run with almost nothing but Megaton punches & kicks that have, going by the description, "muscle-packed power".
Fun analysis video! Thanks for uploading!

I personally think Pokemon speed runs should divide into multiple categories based on starter choice. One will always be fastest, but I wanna know what the fastest Charmander run is like, or in Kalos the best of each combo of starters.

The people complaining that this video is about a TAS are the same type of people that say everyone is using the same team on VGC videos 💀

This was insane. Just wow. Also I love this series where you talk about the speedruns and about the tas runs. Thanks for the content bud and keep it up!

[Chrisuan]

6:23 looks like I'm the best at missing moves lol

love being included pulse ❤

[whoevenknows]

Gonna be honest, i'm shocked the TAS is only 15 minutes behind the human. Considering what the TAS is doing, i could expect it to be alot faster

12:19
In case anybody is confused, a "rerecord" in the context of a TAS is just any time the TASer presses "load savestate" to retry a segment, not them starting the TAS over from the beginning.

[olvynchuru]

Absolutely amazing that the real world record is only 15 minutes slower than a freaking tool-assisted speedrun.

babe wake up PulseEffects just uploaded

When I heard mkdasher my jaw hit the floor. That man was such a legend of Mario kart ds. I didn’t know he was still around this made me so happy

[TheButtonMashGamer]

That Arcanine pronunciation hit me like a mental flashbang

[LuichoX]

9:50 is this quick claw quirk real??? its not even mentioned in bulbapedia, i wonder if its even implemented in showdown

[autumnshinespark]

That art is amazing. (Clefairy is my favorite pokemon!)😊

[alexpotts]

Still waiting for the new credits warp any% TAS. Funnily enough that one also uses Metronome, purely to be able to call the move Recycle which is necessary for activating the credits warp and is otherwise extremely slow to gain access to.

[IsuKen]

I think its interesting how something as simple as it not being a type introduced in a later generation makes this entirely possible.
