I just watched it and it is amazing. I had seen the 20 minute run on speed demos archive, but this is blowing it away. Definitely one of the coolest runs I have seen on any emulator. It would make a great first published N64 run when it finishes, and would alert many to the capabilites of N64 speed running. Wow. Great work so far, cant wait to see how the end turns out. The eight coins on the first bowser level was genius.

Remember, we aren't comparing it to that run. I'm not trying to pick on you, but it's comments like that, even when innocent, that cause people who hate us to hate us even more.

I think you guys are talking about 3 different things here (and thus misunderstanding each other and arguing about it). There's comparing to the SDA run as in "this is better than that", which is bad/pointless, there's comparing to the SDA run as in "this is more entertaining than that", which is fine but it's personal opinion, and there's comparing to the SDA run by analyzing both runs and comparing parts of them so as to find ways to improve this run, which is also fine and even helpful.
redid the bird star in SSL and managed to climb up Bowser's Sub in DDD
also fixed the lag in DDD
although it may look slow, Mario absolutely HAS to be facing the sub at at least that angle if not absolutely perpendicular in order to climb up the back fast enough
so far it's 46 seconds faster than the test run
this is a save state starting at the SSL/LLL room
it's kinda big though (1.25 MB)

Very nice. Althou' I was hoping for a little longer add...
You got through the door very fast with the bunny and that surprised me. Also boarding the ship from the front end was really something. I didn't believe you could do that before you showed it. :)
Maybe it's just me, but it looks like there is still more lag when approaching the sub (before exiting the tunnel) than in that other video Atma posted a couple pages back.
Also, I noticed your movie has no author/description info, and was about to bug you to change it when I realized there's no way to change it in the emulator, so... it's now possible for you to change it in the playback dialog, switch to v8 to do so. If you don't, the author will display as "(too lazy to type name)" for everyone that views it.
I would complain that Mario doesn't go straight enough in some places, but I guess that there are some situations in which you can't change your angle very fast.
put yourself in my rocketpack if that poochie is one outrageous dude
BTW, I think M64 files are at least tentatively publishable now, so it should be possible to submit this movie whenever it is finished.

It does look like the swimming could be smoother (for instance I saw Mario bump into the wall he was swimming over, and apparently not turn as early as possible going around the other corners). It's hard to tell if the pattern of button presses used for swimming gives optimal movement speed (I haven't checked). I noticed that elsewhere (on land) the stick is almost never at 100% in either axis, but it could be that it doesn't make any difference in this game. Turning on land can't be done too fast or Mario will skid in preparation for a sideflip.

Yes, I noticed that too but it wasn't nearly as bad as it was in spezzafer's first run.

While it isn't just you, that video was taken from an older obseleted SDA run that i had lying around that I saw had no lag at that particular point, thus done on actual hardware. Still, it looks like it probably shouldn't lag there depending on what angle you use.
but in relation to the actual progress of the run now, only one word came to mind:
DUDE.

Yes - Spezzafer used a much different camera angle. Maybe it's boring to look at the ground to reduce lag, though.
Spezzafer: Whenever you reach the entrance to Bowser 3, could you post a WIP then (in addition to whenever else you would do so, if you wouldn't have already)? It would suck if some faster way up there is found after you go through all the trouble of the Bowser 3 level.

It's not like anyone doesn't know what the area looks like, and it's only a small part. I'd rather Spezzafer does whatever is fastest.
