23.5 seconds of savings = no choice but 'Yes'. Congratulations on finishing an amazing improvement. :)

I think this TAS was novel and enjoyed that. I don't think it was terribly entertaining / chanllenging but I think you did the best with what you had. post-published Yes vote.

I came up with this name when I was 14 or so which means I've had it for over a decade. Its far too late for me to ever change it. The vast majority of my online presence is tied to this name. I don't particularly like it but find it acceptable. Ohh well.

Slopes have to be much steeper than steps to BLJ.

You can BLJ up slopes but you need to have a big enough speed first. The more shallow the slope the more the speed.

I like how these movies asymptotically approach perfection :) While you might think that 99% is just as good as 99.9%, one has 10 times as many errors and it makes the other look all the better.

First let me say this run was amazing! All the movements looked like it was really squeezing every frame out though apparently there are still improvements to be had :) I also had problems with the video freezing during transitions. Its not a big deal since the gameplay was unaffected but I hadnt had any problems with previous avis.

It looks like it requires the elevator to be moving down to squeeze you through the wall? Maybe a wall kick near the top can get you under the elevator higher up just after it starts moving down.

Any update? :) Feel free to throw me a bone... I'll gnaw on it for a few weeks.

Well you also have to factor in that JRB isnt a very popular level :) I think it looks great so far though. I am really looking forward to this.

If you really want to just create a topic for "Hacks for consideration". If what you think is true it should get lots of traffic and you will have the evidence to warrant creating a new forum.

But do you really think there are enough good hacks out there to warrant creating another forum? This is a genuine question as I dont know much about hacks but I get the general impression that the quality of most is pretty poor and few would be good enough for consideration. How about a compromise, there is a master list of games under consideration in every forum, why not create a new topic for a master list of hacks for consideration? That should accomplish your desire of people sharing cool hacks.

The reason why I would like to see a whole new forum for hacks is that people would be encouraged to start topics about hacks they like so that the rest of us can play them too. It's not easy to find good hacks when there are so many bad ones.

Well ultimately this is not a hack site. This is a TAS site. The hacks that are discussed should be under consideration for a TAS. You have a point that some hacks get vetted on the boards for TAS worthiness but even this somewhat applies to published games. Its not like this board has non-TAS discussion forums for SNES or NES games.

Sooo.. why was it again that you're against this?

Im against it because I think the extra forum would be relatively unused. I'm not very passionate about this point though. I just believe it unnecessary.

I think the current system is just fine. There really arent all that many hacks that get discussed to warrant creating another forum. I don't really see a hack as something entirely different from a published game from a TAS point of view.

I don't think the gender, age, race, weight, or any other physical characteristic of people that I only intend to interact with online is in any way important. Edit: After consideration I suppose an argument could be put forth that one would want their assumed gender known so a correct third-person pronoun can be used to refer to them. I would prefer English to have a gender neutral pronoun but until it does I will employ a masculine one when a third-person pronoun cannot be avoided. If you find this undesirable know that I grieve with you!

Its only fractionally faster, because I'm able to initaite the turning earlier, through doing less BLJ's.

Ohh nice, very cool

It's hard to tell (the AVI quality was very poor I must say) but it seems that the way you grabbed that star is faster, because you take less "teleport hops". (only two hops I think, compared to 3-4 used in the current run.

The star collected is the chain chomp star and the previous run was just a zip and a hop. Though the hop was somehow avoided, its hard for me to see how this could be faster...
