I feel as if these threads are spam. You've made these forum posts before, and them getting little attention is not a clue for you to continue posting the same message. If you really want to do TAS research then go to the Discord and learn to make one yourself instead of spamming for others to do it just because you want to see another second barrier.

Even so, everything else I said still holds true :P

@EmperorChickadee ILs are good in other games because the levels are longer and more varied with complex strategies. At least at the top level, the levels in SMB1 have been essentially maxed out - these new IL categories would provide absolutely no challenge to existing runners, and it would be better for new runners to work on the full game speedrun. I don’t see a point in making 4-2 IL (or any other IL for that matter) if all Niftski needs to do is repost his Lightning 4-2 completion. May I ask who, you think, would run these categories if they were added to the leaderboard?

I’m assuming glitchless for PAL is not an advantage because of the lack of FFPGs.

everyone always wants to get to the next second barrier fr. like aren't we satisfied with 4:54? the game's been broken down to the frame

this looks fun to run :)

uhhh so just look at any high level warpless run with good quality?

Crouch clip as big Mario? Like in 4-4?

i will come to your house and record with my camcorder

We're discouraged from running Original Physics because they are nearly impossible to replicate successfully

that's a bit vague to expect precise help

running off a platform and jumping midair counts as a double jump

Sub-7 is pretty easy, just get powerups in 1-1 and 1-2, jump to the ceiling and run past everything in 1-2, do no-slowdown 4-1, traverse 4-2 normally with the vine, wait on the necessary pipes in 8-1 without slowing down TOO much, wait on the beginning staircase in 8-2 if that’s too hard, fire kill hammer bros in 8-3, and good swimming in 8-4. There’s a huge margin for error if all you want is a 6:XX

sure, as long as the rules are being followed for both leaderboards. I submitted my full-game run as segmented runs for each individual level a while back

Oftentimes, you can answer questions before even starting the speedrun if you want to be optimal. Alternatively, you can install the Gimloader plugins that give you energy automatically.

same thing let's be fr

human TAS let's be fr

It's a good goal just to try and get better at the category instead of going for WR right out of the gate. You should try and get consistent with regular mushroom grab and fire flower grab before moving to TAS accels and clips. The fire flower grab is deceivingly difficult.

the video is private?

I don't grind ILs because they seem like a waste of time, but my SoB is super bad rn so...
