5-7: is it a good strat?

Hey! I wanted to try the spawn glitch in some levels, and I found that: (sorry for the quality of the video :/ )

Do you think it could be useful? You gain a small time with the walljump at the begining of 5-7, and maybe a little bit of time with the cycles at the end of 5-7 (I never did a "perfect" 5-7 with the spawn glitch so I am not sure at all). But, you lose a bit of time making a pause-buffer, and you lose a bit of time finishing 5-6 with a slide, because you have to go on the wall, and that is longer than finishing directly the level.

I already asked Sovlo, and he said me that it could make gain one second.

"I already asked Sovlo, and he said me that it could make gain one second." there is no way this saves a full second.

the only way this would save time is if you didn't have to pause buffer or you pause buffered and could get in without a walljump. Having to pause buffer along with the slow 5-6 finish would lose time without a doubt, but for non-rta you could cheat an IL with this to get a better time than without.

I asked sovlo again and he said me he was to bad to get a certain saw cycle et the end of the level, and he gets it with this strat. I still don't know if a full second is saved for him, but time is saved for sure. You can see what I mean in his actual PB.

Also, I found another strat wich could save the same kind of time but I don't know where to post it... Should I create a new forum for every possible strat? Or maybe it could be interresting to take all the existing strats and to put them somewhere for beginners, dans in the same place we could post ideas...

Hey, sorry homme haven't been checking this up enough, I think do seperate threads for now and if we get alot I can move them to another location or something if needed.

A new SMB group in steam might make sense since all the current groups have kind of gone idle but I don't know what you think.
