AustraliaI believe DTysonator has a video of a 2:59 from 2002, so I don't think this would be the oldest recorded R1 Tyson
As far as I know, the star into eyebrows in p1 is the same as the star in the TAS, and this is basically the exact same strat except that the first facejab of p2 is replaced with a misdirected right gut so it can be followed by a reversed max damage rather than frame perfect regular max damage. You have to press up+start 5 frames after Mac is actionable after the final guard manipped max damage of p1 into the max damage windows of eyebrows (7 frame window assuming everything in p1 is frame perfect) and you have to release it after at most 10-11 frames (a 1 frame up press, given that it is on the second frame of start being pressed, will work). I'm not 100% sure about any of this and it's just my best guess, so feel free to correct me.
Landing it early means that the star will deal 15hp or be dodged (depending on if Honda 2 has his dodgeability activated) and doing it late will deal 14hp (doing it late enough will also result in 15hp/dodge). This is for the reversed max damage, the regular max damaged star has a basically infinite window but is around half a second slower (and the window for the up press is also stricter, but only by 1 frame).
Yes, in the TAS, they are frame perfect. Doing it 1 frame earlier means he will dodge (or it will deal 15hp when he can't dodge) and doing it 1 frame later will deal 14hp (it has to deal 22). There are 5 (I think? It might be like 7) frames that the max damage deals 14hp, and throwing it after that will do 22hp (which is the window that most people land it in, if you're not doing the TAS strat). This refers to the regular max damage star, not the reversed max damage star.
there's no reversed max damage uppercut in phase 1 lol. it's 2 dizzies into a regular max damaged (I'm landing it into late window since I can't execute frame perfectly) into a 2nd dizzy with random star on face punch, 2 buffered stars one of which is into eyebrows for max damage and 2 buffered face punches. phase is damage perfect
