Also, I'm not sure that .tas is a good extension for the movie files created by the emulator. You said that you want BizHawk to appeal to casual gamers too, and casual gamers sometimes like making movies of themselves playing in real-time (like for Let's Plays), but those movies aren't TASes. If BizHawk becomes as popular as FCEUX and the movie file extension is widely known, people might come to know .tas as the BizHawk movie file extension. Then it might be confusing whether someone is talking about a .tas or a TAS. Plus, BizHawk's movie files aren't the only TASes; there are other rerecording emulators that create TASes, and this term shouldn't be only representative of BizHawk (people might think TASVideos only has BizHawk movies, and not visit because they were looking for an N64 or SNES TAS). Maybe .bkm (BizHawk movie, or whatever the name might change to) would be better and more representative of what the file actually is?
this is a good post, that extension should be changed

^I didn’t look what was at the top of those pillars, mine was just a random idea
WKing the level’s borders would open so many opportunities that using the 2 pillars in the beginning wouldn’t make sense with it, I was just checking whether the TASers tried it (it doesn’t work in SM64DS either)
improved 2 frames due to better fastfalling manipulation, which I still have no idea how it works and I simply brute forced this result http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXqbdz1gbKQ
might still be 1 frame away from perfection, I seem to be fluctuating after the dash for 1 frame before starting to fall
and fuck, this game makes no sense

Wall kicking on those pillars would take far too long, and no you can't. Otherwise it would've been done forever ago. =P
I think he meant using the BLJ and pole as in the youtube videos, but hit the 45-degree-angle of the pillars to start WKing up them. but if the level borders can't be kicked, that doesn't help.
yes, that’s what I meant… why would you need the level’s borders for it to work?

At the start of BiFS, any chance you can BLJ off the moving platform when it rises out of the lava? Or perhaps off the nearby tilting platforms?
Not really. There's a BLJ right here:
but it's never proved useful. And yes, we have hit the pole directly behind it.
can you go to the pillars at the beginning of the stage and WK really high from those with enough speed to get to Bowser’s pipe?
edit: can you WK off of the stage’s invisible borders?

edit: 9.27 is possible on stage 2… it just requires boosting sooner at the end, how could I miss that? :\

I don’t know if I could get a faster fall after the 3rd dash, the airtime is weird after those… I still don’t understand how to manipulate it

Here is a temporary video of the improvement that I found... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lu_Oe4SF7xU
This uses a GWK to save a wallkick and ends up saving 15 frames (so far) and as of right now, the final time would be 5:02.22.

@jlun: in case you were thinking GWKs were a new thing he just found… they’re not, they’re just sort of hard to do and non-obvious in their possible placement, I think
but it's never proved useful. And yes, we have hit the pole directly behind it.
