I have money on the fact that mc1 can be improved by making the turns tighter and keeping good luck manipulation to get shrooms while doing so. If I am proved wrong i will record myself eating a hat. Thats how sure i am.
I really don't know what to think. While most of the stages where you actually drove were awesome, the circling ones were just... not at all entertaining. Bowser's Castle in the Flower Cup was probably among the more boring scenes I have seen in a long time. Well, overall, I suppose I will grant this with a rather weak yes.
This desyncs for me right after the mushroom cup... My ROM has the right checksum, and I have the correct sync settings. Does anyone else have this problem?
Does this now create a possibility to hexedit a single course in a video ?
90% through? Can we see the WIPs?
For the rerun, I was thinking it might be a good idea to try picking up those items on GV after the main set of items to get another long boost in. You could do the second long boost right before the shortcut or do it against the blocks on the finish line.
I agree. you have so few courses left that it'd be so worth it to submit, you've worked very hard and are so close.
If you actively make it a 2 players TAS, using player 2 to screw up the competition while player 1 races, that'd be fun and would hide the fact that L+R was even used.
From site maintenance perspective, I wish to follow these guidelines at April Fools pranks: ― Once you realize that it is an April Fools joke, it has to be funny. ― It must not cause feelings of desperation or insult. For example, joking that the site is shut down permanently, is something I would never do. ― It has to tempt believing that it is true, however minorly. ― It has to contain a seedling for future. Something that makes it worth reviewing in future. Something that may be later utilized in non-April Fools productions. ― If you want to try something radically different and novel, April Fools day is the day. These guidelines are mainly inspired by my observations of Google's April Fools pranks.
So what do you think about my KB ideas? Wow, 45 frames, that's a big delay, what crappy luck. So is the item just dependent on the frame count/race time? I wonder if through some small optimizations you could get to the feather sooner and save over 1.5 seconds. There could be big time to save with this sort of scenario.
If your going to do a rerun, here's some things I was thinking about. For KB, you use a shroom by itself, no long boost to do a huge corner cut over a large section of water. Then the next lap you do a long boost and it ends a bit after that huge corner cut. I was wondering if you could use the long boost a bit later to include that corner cut a second time? That would be really neat if you could. Then at the very end of KB you don't do the final corner cut over the little part of deep water, I know this corner cut saves lots of time, I'm suprised it wasn't used here. I was thinking the angles might have been too weird, but then if you redid the section before, perhaps with the long boosts idea above, to plan for that corner cut you could have a better angle. In BC3 I’m sure everyone noticed you jump into the stone wall after making the big shortcut, twice. It seems very avoidable, so I think it must have been done for the feather. But then I wonder if you could do a smaller delay than that as there’s so many ways you could delay the progress up to that point. Such as, taking a slightly wider turn, or letting go of gas for a frame or two at some point before, perhaps well before so you’ll still be at top speed when you hit the question mark.
Can you link to the index page for this? I'd like to see more.
Try TASHex? There is linux version...
Huffers, I think mono is still a little touchy with System.Windows.Forms, so if the treeview is giving you problems, just comment out the view population call in frmMain.cs.
Sorry the other courses where it is possible are only MC4, DP3 and KB2 but you havent made them yet.
And about redoing bc1 , no problem if it stays as it is, cos there are still lots of thing to improve everywhere, so would be good to keep consequent improvements for the next try. I will say it again , for a first TAS, there are already some excellent stuff, did you already play SMK before huffers? or maybe you got some advices help and info from somehere or someone. Keep up the excellent work for the end of this TAS. You definitely have my support. Perfecting a first TAS is not a fatality , an imperfect run can motivate even more to make a second one, not necessary from the same TASer.
its weird how you made the whole strats though, because dp1 you use the glitch on the wall , but this glitch is also possible in other course where you dont use it
maybe bc1 could be improved with another strat , of course making the feather shortcut after the first corner make you lose the first lap to have an item, but then i think its possible to make the 4 other laps with it , because you can get an other item just when you trigger the first feather by driving on the items before jumping
Anybody saying this movie isn't frame-perfect just because of this would be the lamest thing ever.
