we need more bruteforcing :D
i think i should learn that lua stuff :(
Mweah, with snes9x.speedmode('maximum') my 2 year old notebook can do around 1200 frames/sec. When you've got something of say 20 frames, and you want to use 4 buttons (say right/up/jump/speed), you got
.
So Saturn is right, that was probably the most useful bruteforcing we will ever have for this game
>>.>>>.>>>>.>>>>>.>>>>>(>B).(>B)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>(>B)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>(>B)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>(>B)
is the fastest super short charge (163.9375px). I've brute-forced it with lua :-). lua script
EDIT2: Ok, so it turns out he didn't take frames where nothing but B was held, and he's now going to test for that as well. It'll be interesting to see if my pattern holds up :)
Your pattern is the fastest! I didn't try any weird input things, so there is a small chance that there is a faster one... but I'm pretty convinced. Pretty ingenious :-)
Wow, damn good job! You've won another 1/3 of a pixel. :)
Can you do the same for the PAL version, just in case?
For PAL it's:
>>>.>>>>.>>>.>>.>>>.(B>)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>(B>)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>(B>)>>>>>>>>>(B>)
157.66796875px :)
Here's the rest of the list of "fast" combinations that actually obtained a charge. Doesn't seem to be a distinct pattern, weird game :P.
[edit]
Turns out, cpadolf's pattern is still the fastest. I've never considerd frames where you only press the run button. I'll get back on this (and sorry moozooh!)
I've created a lua script where you can 'brute-force' the subx en suby position when flying to the gate.
lua script
just edit the
for magicXvalue = 18350, 18400 do
for magicYvalue = 8191, 8191 do
and load the lua script.
Then it asks for the movie, load this movie, and hope the gate opens ;)

added the check if the gate is open by taking a screenshot. You need to download lua-gd and extract to your snes9x folder.
This run was worth the waiting. It's just incredible! Some parts really made me laught. \o/

For people who aren't able to view it with snes9x, i've encoded the run.
You can stream and/or download it here: http://gromba.nl/cpadolf100p (325MB, h264/aac)
I don't know if anyone still uses my plugin, but i'm out of town until 15 july.
You can upload movies yourself at http://metroid.gromba.nl, or you need to wait until I get back :)
Video demonstration for those who can't playback smv files:.
Things like this always bother me; about 30 seconds of work for playing a smv file of 3 seconds.
For this, I created a plugin that automatically embeds the movie. (sorry, only firefox)

I've only added the movies from the previous page as a proof of concept. You're free to add the movies before that page :P

Tested for every (usefull) subpixel, I think it is fake :P
