First up, Celeste is one of the most engaging video games to ever exist in this generation. It's also really tough. You should definitely check it out!



And I really need to finish it.

Earlier today during SGDQ, I have witnessed a TASBot run of Celeste.



From what I could look up, TAS, or Tool-Assisted Superplay, relies on a series of codes and emulation of a game to showoff incredible and, otherwise impossible feats. The TASBot, an NES ROB with Legos, uses a circuit board with said inputs to perform an autoplay of sorts.



I'm probably wording all this wrong, so feel free to correct me.



The point is, this TASBot managed to complete the game to near-perfection, in such a short time, I was floored!

So I commissioned lumineko to sketch up a very unusual piece.



You've heard of Robo-Ky (Guilty Gear) or Robo-Fortune (Skullgirls)?



Well, fear before the wrath of Robo-Madeline, a copy that can climb the mountain in a fraction of the time her human counterpart can do. And less deaths.



ROBO MADDIE, SUPERIOR!

HUMAN MADDIE, INFERIOR!

NOTE: This was meant to be a simple sketch, but was made into a Speed Paint.

Looks awesome, but I have to pay Lumi back one day.
