Hi, I'm doing a 16-star SM64 speedrun but when I go to do the BLJ the Mario just doesn't. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Yes, I pulse as fast as possible but I still don't get it. What is the pulse rate of Button A per second?
I think at least you need 5 cps. You have to try it very often, you can get insane bad RNG at it, the BLJs killed 90% of my PB paced runs, it sometimes took me 5mins to get it. There is actually a strat, to get it somewhat consistent, but it's pretty hard for a beginner. Here's a link to it: Seems pretty easy, I know, but to get the right position in front of the first step can be pretty difficult.
I think it was either 8.5 or 12 A presses per second. Also make sure you actually release the A button.
If you don't get fast enough with your thumb, try with your index finger, that's easier for many people. Also check if you did not accidentally download the shindou edition.
