And I was the one to discover that the velocity keeps increasing through wallkicks D:

In short, you can't "BLJ" forwards because every new longjump resets acceleration. Wallkicks are special in the fact that if you press "A" on the first frame possible for a wallkick, you will keep building up speed. If you double jump from that wallkick, you lose a significant amount of speed, much like jumping in a BLJ.
Exactly. Except BLJ's are special, since they build up speed much faster than keeping a LJ going.

that made me laugh
:P I'm so used to saying blj. I meant getting mario stuck in the same way
btw, this is a much faster strat for wall kicks will work than in previous runs:

How are the values stored? It would be vaguely amusing if you could design a (massive) area so that the value would overflow and you'd stop dead for no apparent reason after going at light speed :P
If they are stored as floating point numbers, they can't overflow, they just get less and less precise. And I'm not sure but I think fixed-point doesn't overflow either.
Anyway, if there is no cap on forward motion, and assuming BLJ's are used because forward motion causes mario to enter the "knocked back" state when he collides with a wall at a high enough speed..., does that mean that forward long jump spamming could reach the same speeds as BLJing in areas where walls aren't used (such as on staircase edges)? Not that it would really be useful since those areas tend to be small and reversing speed helps mario spend longer on them and so on, but thought I'd ask.
lj'ing in blj areas forwards doesn't build up speed. it's the same as sliding. if you slide forwards, you stop when you land. if you slide backwards, you start running backwards at hyper speed when you land. and AKA, no, there's no cap for the dive/LJ speed. it keeps increasing until you hit the ground. for dives, landing to roll doesn't cap the speed, only landing after the roll. yes, even if you dive again at the first possible frame.

I think the point of Bloobiebla's run, which is to complete all temples, is lost when you beat the forest temple as a kid in 20 seconds like in SwordLessLink's video. As I stated earlier, I think if you're going to take the time to beat all the temples, you may as well do so as intended and beat the temples fully, rather than skipping most of them just to save time in a run where the fastest time is not the goal but showing off the entirety of the game.
I strongly disagree. The run aims for the fastest time collecting all stones and medallions. The point is is to show off the glitches and strategies that won't be used in the fastest run because of the RBA/ToT skip tricks. Using glitches is way faster and way more entertaining than playing through everything as the programmers intended. And Bloobiebla's doing great, the run is very entertaining so far.

This is getting pretty off-topic, but I doubt I'll use megaupload. It allows 500MB, actually, but it's full of ads, and is really slow. Or maybe I will. *shrug* Whatever the case, it's not important for now.
And the "edit" button is there so you don't have to make 2 posts if you forgot something.
It was a mistake..
I doubt many people really care about the ads, and no, it isn't slow. I always get 300-400 kB/s.
Enough off-topic for now.

Obviously it is, but even a beginner TASer can pick up the N64 and make very good TASes, as showcased in Bloobiebla's WIPs.

Or compress (read: store) it using a format that can split the resulting archive into multiple parts. WinRAR can do this, and probably many others. If you're worried about forcing people to get a decompression tool, just make it a self-extracting archive.
No, please, don't do that.
Well I was planning on making a video from poweron to like the 2nd or 3rd adult temple (when that WIP is made) cutting out all the cutscenes over 20 seconds. In the event that it is larger than 100MB, I'll just use linked mkv files. i.e. they can be played separately, but if all the files are there, opening the first will play all of them. Or something.
But don't worry I won't use split archives.
Please use Megaupload instead. it allows 250 MB.
sorry for double.

Damn it, 113MB is more than mediafire allows per file. Had to make a lower quality file, which is why it took so long. Also sound desyncs slightly after the reset... I forgot this game did that. Nothing major.
Latest progress, 18 minutes, 43MB

I must say that this WIP's amazingness melted my face... it would be a crime if the run was rejected
If the rest of the run is even half as entertaining(which I doubt seeing as how I love the adult dungeons) it will still be the most entertaining TAS id have ever watched
Couldn't have worded it better.
Bloobiebla, I hope you keep up the great work.

Yeah, I had that problem too... the input wraps around the side when it goes too far.
Makes it really hard to play a game with a joypad when you can't use full input, but you just have to limit maximum value.
it's a TAS input plugin 0.6 glitch. it's mentioned in the thread.

Yes, I tested this last night and it puts you at the start of the ToT when you reload the file. It begs the question of why people are getting worked up about how to return to the start of it when this simple solution is obviously possible.

I've learned that when it comes to TASing (and many other things) if it seems obvious, its probably been tried. This was mentioned a couple of pages ago, I think. In great detail. You end up back in the ToT Master Sword chamber when you die.
I have to start explaining stuff better =/ I meant pressing "no" when it asks you if you want to continue playing. that returns you to the start menu, and after you select the file, you should spawn at the default AL spot, which is ToT, outside DoT. it has probably been tested, I asked mostly out of curiosity.
