My movie is a lot more improvable than 13 frames, if the newer strategies save enough time I'd be prepared to redo.

Holy crap. Bowser 1's level is noticibly faster, and yet the beginning still seems somewhat optimizable. the ascent to star 3 seemed faster as well. both the ccm stars seem optimizable. entering Whomp's Fortress seemed much faster. overall I'd say AKA had the best camera angles but Rikku had some better ones sometimes. I liked being able to see what was going on with the lobby glitch. If we could combine the best of both, and add some minor other improvements (like using the windless areas behind the pillars on the final platform of the game to gain some speed maybe?) this run could be sub 15:30.

Eh... Rikku just posted a complete run on Dehack's microstorage which beats this by 13 frames... http://dehacked.2y.net/microstorage.php/info/2867/SUPER%20MARIO%2064.m64

How do you mean too little? Isnt any improvement enough to say that another run is better?

because 13 frames can be achieved with little effort copying someone's run and then changing something. It wouldn't be fair to the one who made it first. I don't say Rikku copied anything, but if you want to obsolete this run, you'll need to use at least a different technique somewhere to justify it. Just "better angles" don't. Like they said, it's still far from perfection, and there ARE better techniques to be used. It makes no sense to keep publishing every 13 frame improvement because the encoders wouldn't sleep, since the run can be improved a lot still.

It was finished after AKA's, wasn't it? Anyway, they won't encode it because tomorrow or next week someone will show up with a 5 frames faster run, and it should be published too? what about 2 frames? or 1? The run needs to LOOK different.

I just finished watching Rikki's run and I'm excited by the new strategies that were showing mainly the by the lobby glitch and BoB stars as well as Bowser#1 stuff, but like others have said there is too many sections in the game where the run was obviouly slower and the improvements should have shaved at least 3 seconds and anyway the route I choosed wasn't even the optimal route through the game after FODA had commented on my run I reckon I could obselete the current movie by at least 7 seconds. I've decided to do Bower#1 after BoB, but I felt doing Bowser first would add a more surprising factor but since people know to expect that I'll delay it a bit next time, as going to BoB first might throw people off a bit at the start.

I've closely watched Rikki's Movie...
