'''Sir Corvid''', or simply '''Corvid''', is an Italian [[Tool-assisted speedrunner|TASer]]. He is one of the most prolific contributors to [[Category rules | no glitch]], [[Regular track TASing|regular track]] TASes. His extensive collaboration with [[Alego11]] earned them recognition as a powerhouse duo who dominated TASing during [[2024]]-[[2025]]. Corvid authored xx TAS [[Best known time | BKTs]] in 2025 - the 2nd-highest output by a single person in a year.<br />
<br />
Corvid began TASing in 2024 with a no glitch [[flap]] on [[Luigi Circuit]]. Such an optimised run for a newcomer earned him acclaim amongst the community, and he soon spearheaded a no glitch [[3lap]] TAS on [[GBA Shy Guy Beach]], which broke a record for the most authors for a single TAS (from 12 to 15). Since then, he has worked on numerous respected TASes, proved [[automatic drift]] to be faster on [[DS Yoshi Falls]], discovered new [[Slow ramp#Mushroom abuse | mushroom abuse]] strategies on [[Mushroom Gorge]], and co-discovered [[Rotation#A-tech | A-tech]] - a method to exit turns tighter.<br />
<br />
Corvid, along with Alego11, was heavily responsible for revolutionising the standard of optimisation. He proved it was efficient to TAS only 1 lap of a course, and then create an optimised 3lap by simply copying and pasting lap 1 inputs onto laps 2 and 3 (using [[Advanced Ghost Comparison]] and [[TAS Toolkit]]). This workflow was previously thought to be unachievable due to [[QM]], and its past inexistence was responsible for the lack of activity on no glitch categories.<br />
<br />
In the 2024 [[MKWii TAS Awards]], Corvid won 'New TASer of the Year' by a landslide, and was also nominated for TASer of the Year.<br />
