Hey guys,

Does someone mind retiming my softlock pb? After talking with threecreepio, he told me the auto splitter is correct and the time should be a .557. Just wanna double check and make sure it’s accurate.

Thanks a bunch!

I didn't know that there was a autosplit for smb, where do I get it?

Is there a autosplitter for any%? Thanks btw

I looked at @eddiecatgaming math and got the exact same time he did - I think the discrepancy between what you're getting and what we're both getting - is based on video frame rate. What we did was download the video in the highest quality available (720p) and pop it into VLC. then go to properties (CTRL+J) and that gives a framerate of 30.023894

After talking to threecreepio, he got a framerate using some other tool of 30.002 - entering those two different variables gives you different times by a frame on https://somewes.com/frame-count/

What we have done on every run so far, other than categories that require some special timing method is:

1. Download the highest quality version of a video available
2. Pop it into VLC to grab video framerate
3. Pop it into Virtualdub to gather start and finish times
4. Enter the variables on https://somewes.com/frame-count/
5. If the video was 30fps, and the start or stop was off by a single frame (as seen by mario's hand positioning) add or subtract a single frame (this was not necessary on this run)
6. Put the "console time" (with modification if necessary) as official time on src

For reference, the run in question is https://www.speedrun.com/smbce/run/yj3vdvgz

Hey, didn't want to start any big issues. :)

When I timed it while talking to TheCrit yesterday it came out to the same as the autosplitter, but I'm not a timing-person so I'm sure it's all good!

Also @mruns05 the autosplitter he's talking about is for one particular emulator, and only works with the softlock category, that's all it does.

Thanks so much for the responses! I really appreciate it

Ditto

Good job on your run, you have bopped the Python.

I was told not too long ago by GTAce that sometimes youtube tends to drop a frame for no reason (most likely because VLC claims the video framerate is just above 30 or 60, when in reality i'm pretty sure it isn't), so I am checking all of the runs for potential errors. Crit's time has been corrected to .557, and a few others were corrected as well.
