technically, yes, humans can blj into PUs, but its extremely hard and only in certain places

@abear850 you can easily BLJ into a PU in BBH, but your game immediately crashes. Even if it didn't, actually doing PU movement is not humanly possible.

If I may ask, why isn't PU movement possible humanly? If you have the exact inputs required memorized, can't you technically get around without TAS tools?

You can prevent the game from crashing by using locked camera.

PU movement isn't humanly possible because you're working with distance and speed so insane that you'd effectively need to string together hundreds of frame-perfect and angle-perfect analog inputs together while somehow keeping track of your speed and location despite this being completely invisible to you.

Humans cannot skip the bowser fights with current knowledge. This isn't going to be found with some funny BLJ shenanigans. You're dealing with a game whose source code has been reverse engineered, which has had 20 years of speedrun history. If it was as simple as just doing it, it would have been done.

Hi, TASer here, was bored so I decided to say my piece. It is possible for humans to reach PU speed in the castle grounds, unfortunately, that will take a couple of hours. Secondly, it is too, too precise. One tiny angle difference in a PU is a MASSIVE angle change. It will never be humanly viable. It is possible to go to a PU and back to the main map, by simply turning mario 180 degrees but thats as good as you will get.

I could go on and on for an embarrassingly long time, but I will really only contribute to this thread by saying this: Technical questions etc you should really just bring to the SM64 TAS discord server. There's a channel there where you can ask questions, and often people are online and someone can answer. Asking this there would have changed a 2 page thread into a 2 message conversation.
