[TAS] E05 Endurance:

Ok, so team iij has now added another noseboost star to the squad, so we are now team ̶y̶e̶e̶t̶ jiit. This TAS was truly a team effort, so I give my thanks to iggy, ins, and trin for letting me post this video on the teams behalf. Thanks also to Alex for helping us generate the inputs for the respawns. The first ~12s of this run was taken from Demon's RTA WR.

After a considerable effort, we have managed to noseTAS the first two laps of E05 Endurance. The time in the title refers to if you were to respawn after every two laps (49.35 * 30 = 24:40.50 plus 0.01 for each of the 29 respawns).
This was a relatively difficult map to work with. One CP and the multilap cannot be hit from below, and many CPs are very high up. TASing the remaining 58 laps would be an absolutely monumental task, but hopefully lots of people can come together and get it done. It would be a good idea, of course, to check all the other possibilities, to make sure we don't get half way through and find out that a faster way is possible.


Here are the stats:

RTA WR: 53:25.55 (+28:44.76) by Demon
Previous TAS WR: 42:49.19 (+18:08.40) by Alex and dimi

1st lap: 30.69 (previous TAS WR 44.98, E05-1 lap WR 54.22, and Demon's RTA WR 57.11). This lap alone was enough to smash the previous TAS WR, but we wanted to also see how a running lap would go.

Running lap: 18.66, yes, that's right, 18.66 (previous TAS WR 40.65, running lap WR (dedi by Drarker) 52.56, RTA WR 2nd lap 53.17).

Currently, with 2 laps TASed and 29 respawns, we save 53.8% time relative to the RTA WR (please refer to the graph at the end of the video).
Adding two more laps, assuming they are also 18.66, would increase the savings to 59.4%, which would be enough to break the current WR for savings of 59.1%, done recently on TMN F-9 by Alex.

TASing 10 laps at this pace would be enough to break the 20 minute barrier on E05.

TASing all 60 laps at this pace would result in a time of 18:51.63 ( -34:33.92), with a total savings of 64.7%.
