Thanks Daniel, your video was actually the one I had open on my laptop to try to emulate so I appreciate your input. I'll try to hone down my 2 jump loop with this advice first and switch to 3 if that's not enough.

The loop is actually something I have a lot of trouble with haha so getting that to 3 seems fairly intimidating. When I don't get days off for new years I typically am only making attempts on my lunch break at work, so it might be a while before I post again.

I'll get to working on this though and hopefully I can come back with some improvements in the next weeks, thanks again for the prompt and helpful replies!

oooooh man ok I didn't even know that was a thing! I was wondering why mine just felt slower somehow even though I was mashing right haha. Thank you so much that helps a lot I hope!

Hey guys,

I'm new here, first time posting and first time breaking into this hobby. I apologize in advance for the profanity in the video but I had been doing about 6 hours of attempts at that point trying to get a solid run before 2020 and was just at a loss for what I was doing wrong.

The short version is I'm hitting 0:26 on my green hill zone 1 and I can see the record is currently at 0:24. Comparing my video to the videos for the tied records, I can't seem to figure out where I'm lacking. Any hints or ideas would be welcome.

this is my closest attempt so far:

Thanks and Happy New Year guys!
