Yep yep yep!
The key to spedrunning ANYTHING is memorization, memorization, memorization. So I know by heart every part of the game my run goes to. Doesn't mean I don't die every once in a while.
"Comparable to the TAS" Stop that. Now. As for what I'm doing that wasn't in the TAS, there are lots of places where human limitations and luck force me to take a different route, and there's also the end of Ridge Water, where not only would what the TAS does there be completely SDA illegal, I also have no idea what's going on, but there's actually one speed trick I use at the beginning of Undercaves that the TAS doesn't: just after te first Barrier Glyph, swim up to the ceiling of the little cave area, swim left quickly along there, then charge diagonally downwards as soon as the current starts to take effect, and Ecco will pass through the current, saving the trouble of going around.
To keep Ecco form swimming off in an unintended direction, I simply press the D-pad in the direction I want to go. Are you sure you don't have a faulty controller, because saying this game has bad controls is one of the last things I would do? Zero, seeing as how I don't use curse words.
No
As far as recording goes, I haven't had much time recently, but don't worry: I WILL get this run completed.
