Descrição

This is a segmented, any% speedrun through the sixteen levels of Tobe's Vertical Adventure's story mode in co-op. It contains lots of deaths and a variety of glitches to get in and out of the maps as fast as possible.

The run was recorded in a total of 17 segments (one for each level on both descent and ascent, and one for the title screen), and the players are Setz as Nana and Gumboman as Tobe. There was a recording error with 4-3 which was corrected by re-recording the segment via level select, but there was no advantage granted.

This is by no means a perfect run, but considering the difficulty in coordinating two people, I'm quite happy with it!

Although there are some advantages to having two players in a map at the same time, you also have to deal with the fact obstacles that slow down one player now slow down both players. For example, Nana's ability to double jump allows her to perform tricks and ascend much faster than Tobe can, meaning there's a lot of management of escape routes. Similarly, Nana's slowness forces Tobe to wait for her frequently.

Luckily, some of this is alleviated by dying. When one player dies, they respawn and teleport to the living player, so if someone is falling behind, they can kill themselves somehow to keep from causing problems. We used this extensively with the Over-And-Under trick [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BlUg7SUaS4E ], which allows one player to drop down through the floor for as long as they want. Afterwards, the other player will typically kill themselves or wait for a teleport.

Nonetheless, one of the biggest obstacles to co-op play is fighting over the camera. If someone goes too far off-screen, they'll either take some damage or respawn next to the other player, and it favors the one who's moving the camera the least. Most of the run is managing the camera--otherwise we'd drop to the very bottom of the level almost every map, so it's an interesting element of strategy.

Again, timing is a really important element to the run. There are set patterns in the level that can go out of sync if you take too long, and respawn times seem moderately random.

Of note, I have no idea what happened in 4-1. We thought we had ruined the run because the camera wasn't following Nana, but I pressed left after the game killed me and somehow grabbed the rope. Then the game scrolls up to the rope to show that no one is grabbing it. Kinda strange.

I time the run from the moment the first level becomes visible and I'm given control until Nana grabs the last rope in 4-4. Compared to my Nana-only run, each world had the following amount of time saved: 19.333s, 15.400s, 16.200s, and 31.650s for a total of 1m22s.

Total times across the acts:
Mystic Caves: 3:08.150
Frozen Cavern: 2:58.600
Phoenix Caves: 3:15.917
Great Pyramid: 4:10.633

This run was recorded between 9-01-12 and 9-20-12.
