I am now attempting to TAS this game now that you've done a run with it. I keep trying to make the screen transition at the end of each level faster, but I cant figure it out. what do you know about it?
If you land right at the very end of the spring at the end of the level, you will just fall off the end with no jump at all.
I think that's the fastest way to end a level, since that's the nearest place you can land with a jump that will end the level, and it avoids doing the jump onto the letters.
here's the WIP I have of the first level. you can see that the transition isnt as fast as yours
Oh, interesting.
I haven't done a run in a while, but I think I just mash A+B+C+start. It does seem like a little more time is spent on the "miss" part than in my runs (the fanfare gets to a later part in your TAS).
Does it depend where the rotating letters are in their rotation? Single-frame stepping, I can see the letters rotated a different amount for me than they did in the TAS. It looks like it took more rotation to get to the "MISS" for me, but maybe it's not that simple (like it needs to finish a certain number of rotation counts /after/ displaying MISS or something).
