Hello, I'm staring to get in to speed running and I'm staring speed run this game, I'm trying to get better speed moment, but are they any tip or guides to get better at the game? Any help would be appreciated.
As of right now there isn't too much in the way or tutorials or guides outside of the few videos Murry has posted in the 'Guides' section or random videos explaining specific strats spread among our Youtube channels. Your best bet is to check the other help thread and read the posts in there, but aside from that we are more than willing to answer any specific questions you might have whenever they come up.
Short answer is to watch other people's runs and try to copy them, see what feels best, if you don't know how something was done you can ask here, on twitter, or IRC. Good luck and welcome!
Thank you man, it mean a lot. I've just stared doing this like 3 weeks and the 1'st level I have it under 11 s and the 2nd under 12 s, but I only have become better at dose ones. I'm not sure how to approach the game. Should I just play one by one until I have all of them master. and an other question is what type of capture devices could any of you recommend? I'm looking for something on a budget but good.
Well, it depends on what you enjoy more -- If you like playing each level individually until you feel comfortable then do that, if you enjoy playing the whole game start to finish (like we do in any%) then do that. The best practice when you're starting something new is whatever you have the most fun doing so you can do it for longer. Personally, I didn't run the full game very seriously until 1.5-2 years after I picked it up, so there's that.
As for the capture card, I use a GV-USB2 which runs at around $30USD. If you're brand new to console streaming you're also going to want some splitters as well so you can play without lag (1 signal going to GV-USB, 1 signal going directly to the TV).
Thank you man, this is great help. I'll keep running the game. As well hope to see this game at SGDQ this year. Thank you very much for the support.
Anyone has anything regarding frame data ? like when the time that you are airborne after a dash-jump
I think Comicalflop who made the TAS is the only one who looked much into frame data. Some of it is mentioned here: http://tasvideos.org/GameResources/N64/MischiefMakers.html For other stuff that isn't on there you'd probably have to test it yourself.
