Any particular reason why? It wouldn't change anyone's place on the leaderboard, it just gives the opportunity for times to go down all the more.

I think i remember asking this in Discord a year ago or so but i don't remember getting an answer and it crossed my mind again so I'll ask here:

What do people think of changing the time the run ends to when Mario dissappears behind the castle? This is before framerules can affect timing, but would allow for people to go for flagpole glitch in the run, and also allow for even more variabilty with a slower consistent setup vs just going for mavpole.

I think it would be a cool way to bring some fresh life to the category, what do people think?

I would say the progression should be Sub 5 (gg btw) > 4:58.3xx (1f 8-4) > 4:57.6xx (BBG). That’s the route I’m taking anyways…as far as after that goes, I would probably start with Blazit, I find it easier than FPG once you start to get consistent inputs. Also @Apianbelle you definitely cannot get 4:56.xxx with no FPG or BBG…even with Lightning 4-2 and TAS 8-4 you are looking at 4:57.2xx or something

Jump a little earlier on the first slope and a little later on the second one. There’s a 1 in 8 chance you won’t get it even if you’re perfect just because of sub pixels. At the end of the day it’s just over a second you save, so don’t stress too much
