and also thats only any% runs. Most people maybe don't want to run any% (crazy as that may seem). But total there are 1,019 players. And the people above me have great points, it is a huge time commitment to take the time in order to get good at something. Most people probably don't have that free time to spend on speedrunning.

Now I mean personally, I don't think, no matter the amount, that I would take this. I feel that after maybe the first week of practicing endlessly to just learn the tricks that it would become boring quickly. And then I would no longer be able to "seriously" do runs for it anymore. Just considering the precision of the tricks. 3 Traditional Sockfolder FPGs, 8-1 FPG (accel + mavpole), Either 4-2 or 8-2 Framerule (Both are insane in their own respective ways) and to top it off, an amazing 8-4. Yeah, too much for me.

But are you saying the bounty is just for grinding? Will I get X-amount of money if I just turn on my console and like start practicing stuff, and then attempting to incorporate those strats in runs? Is that your definition of grinding the game? What, in your mind, is seriously grinding? Or is the Bounty collected when you achieve a 4:54?

i remember getting top 100 with a 5:04. boy how this game has come a long way

I'm assuming you hit "send" and it didn't send right away, and you clicked it multiple times. Please only click it once or else it will send those other messages you clicked. Anyway, Thanks for the welcoming :)

yeah add a few more zeroes to that 50 and ill do it

Doing flagpole glitch is no different than on your Roku, all you need to do is press the same inputs but later

Yeah, Elevators work in strange ways. If you look at Kosmic's Warpless WR, in 3-3 you can jump through a platform. It's essentially what happened here, except you were moving downward (which is actually a lot rarer, but possible).

No. Doing FPG actually causes you to grab the flagpole 6 frames later than intended. This means that you are 1 frame away from the timer being a 244. So the frame you grab the flag it becomes 243.

AldynSpeedruns (Or Lul_Ecks_Dee) has already found a setup for this.

Actually, Darbian got a 4-9 Entering Warpzone: , but yes your point still stands, 9 frames away minimum to get the framerule.

He was asking about a perfect plant jump and perfect BBG, how many frames would you have saved the optimal framerule by? In theory, you could still save the lightning 8-2 framerule in RTA. If he means without a fast accel in the beginning then you would save it by 18 frames, since absolute perfect RTA fast accel saves 3 frames.

The Optimal BBG in the TAS saves the framerule by a frame or 2.

4:56 Any% 19:15 Warpless (COMPLETED! 19:13) 8:10 SMB:TLL Any% 8-4 Mario 37:XX TLoZ 2:34 MWE

I would assume the timing ends the frame you are jumping on your tenth walljump. But I may be incorrect. A mod can correct me if I am wrong.

Nothing is illegitimate about the run. A runner can't say "My run is fake" when nothing is invalidating the rules. That's like me saying "welp guys, my 4:57 was fake this whole time... It was a TASed run.. sorry." (my 4:57 is actually a real run, making a point) Yeah, it's up to him if he wishes to submit it. But he should be lying and saying "Yeah my run is invalidated" When in reality, it's not.

(Frame Before Time Appears) L+R (This should be the frame time appears) R+A+B (Hold Right until you touch the ground) (the frame you hit the ground) L+B (Then) A+R

Hope This Helps :)

i like waiting on the title screen for 7 seconds tho

or press start on the first frame you load up the rom

press a+start when you are starting.
