Majora's Mask - Any% TAS WIP by MrGrunz

[DutchMaplestory]

@EvilCloud020

Deku place? Dindt see him there.. 

[MxX020]

O MAI GOD ! ._.

[HealeysFable]

does no one find it ironic that a zora drowned? ... in water? I love majora's mask though, so much darker and sadder than OOT - big fan Mrgrunz, your vids are mind blowing

[Blackdrake1]

I'm sorry but the Deku Palace part is hilarious! And yet awesome at the same time! I was like whoa when Link sped past the guards and did those jumps to the ledges.

[disturbedhalo117]

Aren't you wasting explosives at the fairy fountain?

[masterchief3683]

swimming in the air :D

[iDutchGirl]

which emulator do u use to make a tas?

[ZoraArmor63]

My question is, how do you find this stuff?

[3Dolimar]

@ZoraArmor63 thats a really nice question man really how this guys find this stuff????????

[Itsatarp9k]

Which emulator do you play on?

And also,what type of controller do you use.

[LmfaoHahahah]

@Itsatarp9k most likely mupen64 0.5

[TheAnlistik]

so high quality

[spartan6790]

4:52 ew...

[nintendogamerlper]

O-HO-HO i see what you did there you skipped the cutscene of him walking on the beach well played mrgrunz well played indeed

[copper4eva]

I really hope the tas is very nearly finished

[Glitcher2000]

This is just so amazing. The fairy fountain warp and breaking into the Deku Palace were just ingenious. What's the ETA on this thing?

[armatageshanks66]

Wow, awesome

good job

[DJKinGKaB]

O.M.G !!!



[Timic83tgwtg]

is this faster than abeshis, he uses J version

[Timic83tgwtg]

is this faster than abeshis

[AT90]

if speedrunners continue like this, one day mm will be finish in less than 15 min XD, they will go straith to the final boss, everything is possible for them, good job

[LmfaoHahahah]

@AT90 Thats what they are aiming for ^_^

[rifall]

If I had the equipment, I would be doing the Japanese version of the run (nonTAS).

Video is just as good as the first time I watched. Can't wait for the full deal.

[gao895]

not good... you are 2 miliseconds slower

[G3t0nmylvl]

mmmm like a boss

[KPY33]

What?! I am so confused!

#1: Is he playing on a computer, an N64, what?!

#2: Is this all done in real time? Did he really memorize all the steps to do?

Someone fill me in on this crazy shit! D:

[Moist64]

As there's still a long way to go until I finish this shit I decided to upload a WIP for you guys, so you can see that I haven't given up yet.

YET?! Are you planning on giving up? Or have you given up already?

[rubixor]

Just be straight with us. Should we just stop waiting or is this actually ever going to be finished?

[weavestrees420]

any idea when this masterpeice will be finished

[MasterLuigiSW]

So will you ever plan to finish this run, maybe this summer ?

[likalo]

Is the fairy fountain warp "teleport" is working on OoT ? I never saw something like that, but it might be usefull to get to spirit temple as a child a couple frames faster ? haha just wondering if someone did test this ?

[4203105]

@likalo

There are no wrong warps in OoT.

[ironight21]

@4203105 yes there are

[4203105]

@ironight21

Well no usefull ones. Ofcourse there are one or two on the same map.

[Ipodtouchftwz]

Very nice!! You are so god damn skilled :D

[UltimateMach5]

so is this ever gonna come out onto a full run video?

[Kzar5678]

Has anyone discovered a Sonata of Awakening skip?

[Gollagoll1]

Cheat? And i bet u play it on a emulator....

[MrGrunz]

@Gollagoll1

cheat?

you have no idea, what you're talking about. no cheats used in this video ;)

[hypersuperultrahaku]

@Gollagoll1

Of course he played on emulator, this is a TAS. >_>

[noscreenname1]

@Gollagoll1 What do you think a TAS stands for? of course it's on an emulator, but no cheats.

[3Dolimar]

@Gollagoll1 dumb bitch

[shadowwalker5976]

@Gollagoll1 Ha!, good one!

[SwordlessAlex]

Epic!



[SwordlessAlex]

Epic!

[Filiolus]

these must take a complete assload of time to complete with all the reruns and states

[HardlyAstounding]

I think I cried a little.

[BeastingIt]

WTF @ 5:22 ???

[MrVoddha]

name on that superslide and how you do that?

[Paintballrulzzzzz]

There is god then there is mrgunz, i think he surpasses god.

[nin10doh1997]

MM JUST GOT OWNED HARD!

I wonder what the fight against majora would look like? o.0

[MaggotF0rLife]

@nin10doh1997 I'm betting it would be faster than a regular player fighting him as the Fierce Deity.

[AzuKunoichi]

I was screaming at the screen, saying these words over and over: "Too... FAST."

I am amazed by this skill. Awesome job.

[EvilCloud020]

What you did in Deku Palace did not even make sense to me o.o'

[LmfaoHahahah]

@EvilCloud020 hes gonna use that potion later in, he drinks it and goes thru ane ice burg thing. look at his other TAS

[ffrplaye]

@LmfaoHahahah Um... no he's going to use the potion for the Bottle Duplication glitch.

[LmfaoHahahah]

@ffrplaye no he can just get bugs for that, and drinking that potion is the only way to get under the iceburg in snowhead without going to get more potions.

[ffrplaye]

@LmfaoHahahah He won't go under the iceberg at all, he'll use FFWW to skip Lullaby and Goron Mask and the red potion saves the most time if that's used for bottle dupe. The route has changed quite a bit since the previous TAS.

[LmfaoHahahah]

@ffrplaye so no more guilded sword D:

[LmfaoHahahah]

@ffrplaye do u do TAS?

[ffrplaye]

@LmfaoHahahah Yeah I TAS, but only SNES or NES games, I can't reach the level of optimization required for N64 TAS.

And to respond to your other comment no we don't get gilded sword or razor sword anymore unless it's 100%. (heck we don't even get mirror shield anymore since we skip Ikana Castle completely.

[AnavrinSM64]

I don't really get the point of activating ISG @11:12

However, awesome job, looks very fast and entertaining so far, I really look forward the full run! ^^

[4203105]

@AnavrinSM64

It's to kill the scrub during the superslide. Activating isg doesn't cost him any time as he has to wait for the first scrub to die to get the deku stick. But having ISG on saves a few frames at the second scrub as he doesn't have to swing his swod at it.

[TehKingOfPop]

subbed mate

[RSGamingChannel]

to bad you cant do this on a nintendo 64. :( or at least I cant out of the hundreds of times ive tried :D

[bowser93]

For the First time you use the deku mask, why didn't you go Zora and then Deku?

I thought that saved time because it skipped the little scene with putting the mask on.

Sweet WIP though, I've never seen like 80% of the stuff you did lol

[4203105]

@bowser93

That has already been answered like 2 quadrillion times. The cutscene is really short. Switching from ora to deku would require an additional pause-screen and additional mask switch, wich would be longer than the cutscene.

[MaggotF0rLife]

Is this going to beat soulcalibrII's MM speedrun?

[MrGrunz]

@MaggotF0rLife

watch soulcal's run and compare his one with this and then you'll ask yourself again if this run will beat him xD

[MaggotF0rLife]

@MrGrunz I've watched it before. It seems that you will beat him.

[Hophoolio]

@MaggotF0rLife just barely, like a couple of frames. higest 4 frames.

[MrGrunz]

@Hophoolio

exactly xD

[MaggotF0rLife]

@MrGrunz He said you could beat his time 10 minutes easy.

[4203105]

@MaggotF0rLife

Dah. They were joking. This run will beat soulcals by 15 minutes easily. maybe quite a lot more.

[TheSaksutin]

what are you doing? new run or what and when's the next video coming :p

[tom4465]

Could you upload another TAS WIP to show you haven't given up? xD 

[Zurumpf]

"so you can see that I haven't given up yet."

Are you planning on giving up soon? :(

[taittvi]

So are you doing a new run or what are you doing? :D

[darkmagshin]

you are too legit to quit! well done!

[Glitcher2000]

You seem to be working on this forever. How would you feel if you finally upload the whole TAS, then the next day someone else posts a faster run? :p

[MrGrunz]

@Glitcher2000

won't happen xD

[MaggotF0rLife]

@MrGrunz I wonder if soulcalibrII is working on a faster one than his 1 hour 38 minute run, hmmm?

[MagneticLobster]

This is just fantastic. As you were pushing Mikau, I was thinking, "Man, I bet he wishes he had a cutscene skip button," and then *bam* Song of Double Time. Beautiful.

[olivebates]

Oh hey, I have completely forgotten to put up that video xD.. And now I lost it in the virus :(..

[MrGrunz]

@olivebates

that woodfall thing?

I still have your m64 on my pc, if you want to upload it

[olivebates]

@MrGrunz =O! :D! Yay, now I can upload my first MM tas ^.^

PM it? :3

[MrGrunz]

@olivebates

sry, was still on vacation

I'll send it today

[olivebates]

@MrGrunz

Yaaay! :D

[bobmario511]

Easily one of the most epic TASes I've seen in a while.

[4203105]

Btw. does anybody want to speculate why Grunz gets exactly 4 Deku Sticks?

[Rex0wns]

is it still best to do the temples in the order they're suposed to be completed?

[oligi3008]

@Rex0wns No, for example beating the Snowpeak temple before the woodfall temple skips a fairy cutscene!

[swordlink90]

you need to do more zora hyper walking:D

[gameaddict51]

holy crap, you are amazing! i'm subscribing to you.

[ghostlink2027]

Nice work so far. Hope the rest can turn out this great!

[thiefbug2]

Alter, 155000 rerecords... und da will ich vom SS zum TAS'n gehn... du bist so krank xDD

Genial =DD

[LinkTetraWW]

gorongasmed

[BoyOfLol]

dude you didnt need to step on the deku circle to conjure the tree temple.. my childhood is a lie!! :(

[TASeditor]

cool.

get the teleporters before the 1st dungeon is intellegent.

keep on working. :-)

[grassinigrassini]

ninja link..sticks and nuts will be bottles?

[grassinigrassini]

ninja link

[CrazyGameNerd]

You're such an outstanding Zelda TASer. What a route you've made, too. I still havn't forgotten about the TAS WiP you're working on and I will still be looking forward to it.

[ItsOver90o0]

wow.... so much precision.

[DN4lifeman]

You should have seen the look on my face when I was watching this video. Every second i was saying to myself like: 'wow', 'how the.....?' 'AWESOME!!!!'.

I think you guys can all agree with me.

[FriedChckn13]

Gah, I have seen the Mikau cutscene more than any other scene in a game. The picture of Mikau walking up the beach is burned into my retnas.

[MrPikminmaster]

7:20 pwed. I really admire you. This is so awesome.

[EckoAP91]

At 11:16 was this a stutter HESS.

[MrGrunz]

@EckoAP91

no, it's a Z-slide. by pressing Z every 3rd frame I'm able to slide with superslide speed. this is what I use whenever I want to move in a straight line

[wc3tft]

i cant w8 for the rest^^

[xBluRi]

gheesh MrG, I don't see you finishing this until late/early next year. sadface. this is too optimized, dislike. =d

[lncurable]

Crazy stuff, loled when you played the songs superfast as the deku kid haha, keep it up man.

[mutzt1]

MrGrunz da bess. <3

[NintendoG8mer]

omg Grunz.

that run is awesome. really haven't thought, that the route would look like that. ^^

[swordlink90]

ooooh, btw can you do a really entertaiment shit that you enter the clock tower when there is like 0,05 secs cause you get an another 5min once you are inside there.

[swordlink90]

you usead a bomb like every 10second! thats what I CALL OPTIMIZE.

note: can you HISS trough the poison swamp as an zora?

[MrGrunz]

@swordlink90

no, damage from the water cancels it

[Mesquissto]

I hope TAS of this game will still be improved upon 10 years from now, like imagine like a breakthrough like SS was.. thatd be tight

[CaptainX24]

You elegant bastard, you.

[kid0sixx]

you. are. god.

[Razor7581]

I'd recognize that deku palace strategy anywhere. :)

[Bonooru1234]

my mind is officially blown. this stuff is amazing. the bomb tricks are unmatched. this wins for most entertaining TAS that ive seen

[SylvanLynch]

haha the fairy at the end

just have someone use a script to filter out the beeping! ;_;

[4203105]

@SylvanLynch

gtting the fairy doesn't cost time. we even thought about not getting it but that would have needed some complex manipulation, as it seems very atracted to Link. So we said fuck it and ust got it...

[andypanther666]

Thumbs up if you think this will be the TAS of the Year.

[MrChipinator]

Mr Grunz, this is for everyone who TAS's, what happens when you completely break this game? I know it's a LONG time away, but what happens when all the glitches that exist have been found, when everything is COMPLETELY optimized? What'll you do then?

[Bonooru1234]

@MrChipinator you get a new game

[CheesecakeMilitia]

thumbs up if you're definately watching the full thing when it's finished! :D

[spinafire]

At 4:00 I said "What the freak?" like once.

By 6:00, I had said it like 8 times.

[Yuglyoshi]

oh my balls

[VindicationsXBL]

I don't even know the half of what you're doing. Which makes it impressive.

[tiporosso]

No hitting the owl before Woodfall..... could it mean you sequence-break the long cutscene :O?

[4203105]

@tiporosso

If you beat woodfall first it only has an extra 30 seconds of additional cutscene. Not worth splitting it for.

[ieatatsonic]

See, this is why you're awesome.

Also, wouldn't cutscene-skipping like that end up with you having to use SOT a lot?

[MrGrunz]

@ieatatsonic

nope. I do 3 cutscene skip, so I'm at the night of the last day. at this point I'll have still 3 temples left to beat, so this will be a great rush against the clock :D

[SylvanLynch]

@MrGrunz

"this will be a great rush against the clock :D"

No pun intended, I hope.

FOR YOUR SAKE

[ieatatsonic]

See, this is why you're awesome.

[dancemaxer]

Realmente he disfrutado mucho este video como todos los demas MrGrunz

[Aaron1046]

great job so far :D

[Papierherze]

Majoras Mask bekommt mit Abstand den TAS, auf den ich mich am meisten freue.

Man merkt, dass es eine verdammt harte und lange Arbeit ist, deswegen haust du nicht nur spielerisch rein, mhm?

Viel Erfolg noch mit dem Run. Hoffentlich reicht die Motivation bis zum Ende aus. Denn wenn jemand einen Majoras Mask TAS macht, dann sollte er ganz klar von dir sein.

[METROIDKILLERX]

At 7:52, why not equip the Zora mask as well? It takes less time to switch to Zora, then switch to Deku from Zora, as you must sit through the entire Deku transformation the first time.

[MrGrunz]

@METROIDKILLERX

because I have to go from normal link to deku link more than one time, so it doesn't help ;)

[TheGHF150]

Nice job MrGrunz idk if i could do better since i've never done a speedrun of MM

[quagmire704]

i got a question.. how do u do all the songs so fast? quick hands or what?

[METROIDKILLERX]

@quagmire704

It's TAS. He can slow it down to a frame-by-frame rate, or have the inputs ready to be put in as soon as needed.

[TimeSpaceMage]

This is like sex for my eyes.

[XxSuperShadicxX]

@TimeSpaceMage That's what kid link saw when he played his ocarina while looking at the Zora dude's butt

[nin10doh1997]

@TimeSpaceMage EYEGASM!

[Wonkothenormal]

That was truly an amazing and suprising video! Really looking forward to this run.

One thing I'm curious about, it's seems to me you will use a big amount om bombs. Will it not mean a bit of trips to the bomb-shop, and time consuming collection of rupes. But I'm not the expert, so you'll probably do the fastest way.

[RobertPL15]

Great work!

Hope to some more soon!

Enjoyed this video.

[Nahoc10]

Awesome work, as usual.

[ChurroEmiliano]

Hey just wondering why you are not skipping the transformation first time for each mask, is it mandatory for TASing, or just built in the game? I never really payed attention to this until now.

[MrGrunz]

@ChurroEmiliano

you have to watch the transformation when you use the masks for the first time

[ExtremeHardcoreGamer]

@MrGrunz very good work. i love ur TAS's ...u are a pro

[ChurroEmiliano]

@MrGrunz

ok cool, and amazing job, impressed as always :D

[jesmurf]

@MrGrunz Not when you put on the deku mask first. If you have put on the deku mask and then put on the zora mask you don't have to watch it. It's slightly faster.

[MrGrunz]

@jesmurf

but don't you understand? I'm not just switching mask a single time in this TAS.

this whole switch thing costs way way way more time than it saves

[jesmurf]

@MrGrunz No, I don't understand what you mean. But I'm pretty sure that you're right because you are all specialized in it. I'm going to watch it again to see if I understand it..

[jingu3]

@jesmurf Going to the start menu takes an eternity in a TAS

[aleckermit]

Seagull steals the spotlight a 3:21.

[kkaagommaayy]

When switching to the deku shrub form for the first time wouldn't it save frames to use the zora mask and then the deku mask to skip the deku cutscene? just a thought.

[Jareddude123]

@kkaagommaayy

Good idea!

[MrGrunz]

@kkaagommaayy

no, watch the video carefully. I switch from normal link to deku twice and the second time I don't have the zora mask on one of the c-buttons. avoiding it the first time would mean watching it at the second mask switch

[kkaagommaayy]

@MrGrunz I was unsure if the initial skip would allow the cutscene to be bypassed altogether which is why i mentioned it.

[SeraphElpis]

This video is huge. I'm so pumped for the finished product. Yours is probably the only TAS I'll watch full through.

[helbovine]

I suppose the new deku palace route MIGHT be tas only.

[WockesZero]

MrBombfetish

[oligi3008]

Ich kann LEIDER nicht mal dein unschönes Verhalten bei den alten Damen kritisieren, weil du in die Zeit zurückspringen kannst!

Leever Boosting gives this an instant fav

[Diamondrazer]

I'm 1:10 into this, and I'm already stunned. You.. Are.. A.. GOD

[Blizardman1002]

Ich verfolge deine Videos jetzt schon seit längerer Zeit und bin einfach nur begeistert! OoT und MM sind einfach die geilsten Spiele aller Zeiten und ich kann sie wieder und wieder durchspielen ohne, dass mir langweilig wird. Dank deiner Videos habe ich erneut zu diesen Spielen zurückgefunden und bin auch fleißig am experimentieren - danke dafür und weiterhin frohes Schaffen ;)

Freue mich wahnsinnig auf das fertige Projekt!

[FionaatGuy]

Haha, wow. Whenever I try one of those glitches I fail. Keep it up.

[MasterLuigiSW]

Damn MrGrunz, this is one hell of a clean TAS as always, Gratz !! O_o. Anyways, If you could accept my speedrun video response, it would be so cool, and it fits exactly the TAS video you got. I'm a new speedrunner and being known a little more by the Zelda SR community would be awesome ! :)
