In my own very limited speedrunning experience I've found that I've been frequently needing to write things down on paper. It dawned on me last night that if one was to improve upon someone's previous .smv, and they wanted a guide of what was pressed that it could be done like this: -Take a lined 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper and draw 4 or 5 lines down it vertically and spaced evenly. -Write out the last 3 digits of each frame on each line with a little space beside it for the button presses. -Go through frame by frame and write it down; if there's in fact anything to write. This is of course for something more like a platformer speedrun where there is a lot of intricate button pressing; I'm thinking like the Umihara Kawase, or MMX series speedruns. Can anyone inform me of a better or improved method?

Wow, just learn the game and blaze through it on your own skills, but really, when I wanna do something just as the other person does it, I just open another emulator and the other movie, and advance 1 frame at a time on both emu's.
