No, he shouldn't be learning it at all. It is a huge waste of time to learn a hard trick that you won't use for a few months and perhaps years. I would advise to stop learning fpg, and spend all that time wasted on fpg on things that will help you forever, such as 380 underground in 1-1, the precise jumps in 1-2, etc. GL on future runs :)
Why would anyone go for this to get 456? It would be easier to go for pl8-1 on a 456 run than do this lol
this wouldn't give you an easy world record just due to the way that timing starts. Timing starts when you FIRST gain control of mario, which is the frame 400 appears in 1-1. If you could do this to get world record, everybody would already have done this, and runs would be really easy. However, if you game over in a run this is a useful tool for starting over if you've never finished a run.
and I also wouldn't recommend playing on switch over emulator as it loses about .5 over the course of a full game run due to the switch running smb1 at about 59 fps and emulator running at 60.098 fps
you can just record your tv screen or switch screen with your phone if you want
banning hitting the pixel would be ridiculously stupid just because of the fact that it can happen on complete accident. Now if you accidentally jump while you hit the walljump pixel or if you do it intentionally, that would be banned. If gtace said it was banned it was probably a joke.
4 bumps isn't redundant. If you do 4 bumps, that's just fine, it loses at most .7. If you're just starting out, there's nothing wrong with doing 4 bumps. When I was racing in a tournament a few days ago, I did 4 bumps because there's so much leeway and you never get right warped. If you see someone doing 4 bumps, don't critique them. You can literally get 4:58 without anything super hard by doing 4 bumps in 4-2.
yeah for nestopia you need to use an alternate code or something. For example, instead of using code AISSON, you would use code ZLISON. I don't know why it's like that to be honest.
I feel offended, you didn't end your comment with inmahujiu
454 is possible with the strats we currently have, I don't know why you guys think that it's IMPOSSIBLE, because it very much is. But I don't think it will happen until a new timesave is found or easier strategies for lightning 4-2 and 8-2 are found. With the strats we have right now, I think the record will go down to 4:55.2xx, because pl8-1 isn't as hard as people think it is. (It's still hard but it's much easier than you think)
I dont think they are. Literally nobody plays glitchless seriously. Maybe 2nd quest and 8-4 IL but that's it.
Not that it's a bad thing, because I know most of the mods are streamers and have full time jobs.
It's not that I don't care, in fact it's quite the opposite. I was just saying that most people pretty much forgot about it. I wish this emulator would be looked into by the mods, but I dont think that is gonna happen anytime soon.
I'm pretty sure nobody cares about this anymore smh
A podcast for smb1? At first glance that sounds cool but then you have to realize, what would you talk about? Pretty much nothing can be said that you couldn't already say in a livestream/discord chat. I dunno, maybe if you could think of interesting stuff to talk about, sure. But I don't think super mario bros. and podcasts can work well together.
Yeh blubbler found the timesave in 8-4. I might try to improve this tas, and actually put effort into it as well because I pretty much just made a tas as fast as I could before anyone else.
Honestly, I don't know. The idea sounds cool, but making it so you HAVE to end the timer with 1 or 3 sounds dumb.
