I'm still very new to speedrunnning, and I've noticed that the loading screen between entering and exiting pipes are much slower for me and causing me to lose a lot of time, but I can't seem to find anyone saying how to do it.
Is it a setting? Is there a trick? Is my game just bugged? some help would be much appreciated
Tried this, didn't seem to work. I can skip the level transitions just fine but pipe transitions don't work.
Its probably something related to your device and how powerful it is, because I mostly have the same problem as well, maybe in a less noticeable scale, but it still makes my runs worse by essentialy "luck", even losing >2 full seconds from only the blackscreen transitions, like in my SMB1 8-4 IL WR.
I would recommend try and messing with the options to optimize performance but not much else you can do. Until a better retiming method for the speedruns is found, I don't think theres an actual solution for this.
I just went all the way down to 26w21b and my 1-1 immediately became almost a second faster with a rather slow 1-1. I will also try optimizing my performance but this seems to work the best.
Edit: I just did my first full game run (without recording) and just got a new best of 5:04, so I'm pretty happy with the pipes now
Hi,
In the search for a verifier for this leaderboard. Must know basic frame retiming and be familiar with the SMB speedrunning community. If this is something that interests you, please DM me on here or on Discord @Loopizzle.
