Hey,

I was wondering if there was a setup for the clip in The Desert and if you could go through what you have to do to get it.

Just mash jump the moment you start falling let go of A, then hold left once you fall through otherwise you’ll fall further and get stuck.

I can't seem to get into a position that has me fall down the way I see you do in the video. Do you have a setup, like 1 sword slash or, jump at 'x' pixel?

No, I just run into the wall all the way then start mashing.

Hmmm. Okay, how fast are you mashing? Like really fast? It might be that you're doing the frame, off-frame, frame level that's described in the TAS. On that note, after some practice, quite a few of the TAS strats are viable RTA, so I'll be doing a run with those soon. Amusingly, I thought I had discovered the glitches I employed, only to find out the TAS had already discovered them a year earlier :(

As fast as I could lol, there wasn't any rhythm.

That last clip you do at the boss, you just turn around and mash? Its looks no different than the desert clip.

That's interesting you say that but doesn't really help much unfortunately.

That strat for the boss required a great deal of practice with a setup to do consistently and with that setup my mash speed doesn't even have to be that fast. When I tried to replicate your jump at the boss, I struggled to get close which is why I invented the setup.

Whenever I try to do the clip in the Desert, I often end up on the platform just below even if I "succeed". I never see the falling animation or if I do, I might be accidentally mashing through it.

To be more brief, I think I might need a reliable set up, me simply trying to emulate you hasn't worked very well.

Here it is on emulator (console is easier because no input lag), there's really no setup to it.

Thanks. Looks good. I had thought your position might have something to do with it but in that emulator video you do it at a different spot than in your run. It's 2AM for me right now, so I won't be able to test it until tomorrow. In the video you mention you let the screen scroll, do you think that has anything to do with it?

I don't think so cause it didn't scroll in my pb lol

So I finally got the other ROM, and tried it on an everdrive and I still can't get the clip, I guess it's just me, lol

Oh crap I just got it, I really need to work on my mashing technique, I looked up some "advanced mashing techniques" and was able to get it.
