This is just a theory. I wonder if you can manipulate the timing for the bullet bill at the end of 8-2 so instead of waiting at the bottom stairs, the bullet bill is already storming towards the bottom of the flagpole. That way you can just jump up the stairs, land on the bullet bill on the correct pixel, and perform the glitch instead of waiting 2 - 3 seconds for the bill.
No, the bill can't shoot much earlier than a frame or two due to how they are coded in relation to Mario's position.
I theorized this a month ago and i tased for hours and hours and I think I can safely say that this isn't possible
While I enjoy the investigative energy into trying to discover a new technique, I have to chime I with reality. This has been shown not possible, without some super major unforeseen circumstances.
If it was easily possible, we’d already be doing it. Plenty of top runners and TASers have thought of this and nobody has made it happen.
Add in code evaluation, as KOJB pointed out, and it seems super unlikely to ever be a thing.
Any% (NTSC) runs below 4:57.000 must now fulfill additional requirements in order to be verified.
- The run's full session must be included in the submission description.
- For emulator runs below 4:57.000, some form of input display must be visible for the duration of the run. A hand-cam or input
