Yeah, I think Fano reported that in the m2k2 TAS thread some time ago. It happens if you let go of jump at a certain point, but I have no idea what logic makes Samus touch the door trigger in this case. IIRC, it was even a bit slower due to longer fall in the next room or something like that, though.
each new year's holiday period they broadcast the certain mandatory set of movies no-one wants to watch anymore. I have no idea why; it's worse than everything Disney's studio has created over the span of its existence.
From what I remember, Hero was really close from using another missile to shake the screen, and was 1 pixel away from getting it to work.
Personally I feel Saturn is throwing around superlatives like perfect and impossible without any feeling for how strong the words are. I'm sure he personally believes that when he's using the words that they're applicable, but it's pretty short-sighted of him to do so. Things like the Maridia gate opening from the wrong side should be labelled as "very unlikely" rather than impossible until it's been confirmed that there is zero chance of doing it, likewise nobody should call their runs perfect until it's been proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is no way to improve it. (it's even less appropriate when the run in question isn't even finished.)
Hey Kriole, while you're at it, can you confirm that doing the same is impossible with Maridia backdoor (the one accessed through the annex of red Brinstar shaft)?
I have actually been working on it, and I figured a method that might actually work: Jump, shoot, morph, roll into tunnel, roll out again. Though due to lack of motivation I have not been trying to make it work, or to check if it actually works. If someone is giddy enough, have a try.
It will get done though, and it will be awesome when it is done ;)
and the nbmb is not easy you cant imagine what effort we are putting in and we are beyond something we can analyse now :(
Er, excuse me, this is exactly what I'm doing: working on my runs. First you want me to work on Ceres, now you want me to move on…
…Except you did? Like during the production of JXQ's v2 run, saying you were xx frames ahead, yadda yadda. And you also wanted to go back each time hero or myself found a new timesaver in the beginning, to implement it in your perfect run. Why didn't you move on and submitted it, instead of focusing on single frames?
I'm taking my time because I (surprise!) want to implement all the timesavers I come up with myself, and it takes time and motivation. You, of all people, should know it.
My only issue with all this is that new cool runs are not being worked on because all the tasers are spending their time on this stupid Ceres frame. Saturn, since these people don't know when to quit, you should either reveal the secret or finish your own damn run, just to let everybody move on.
Isn't that hex editable?
I'd much rather see discussion about new tricks which are actually useful, and I'm certain a lot of other people would as well.
Would you really need to do what?
But anyway, the possible 00:01 change in the clock will only come from changed clock behavior and not a saved frame right?
Also, if Saturn can upload an smv of 49'15 to a web-host that tells us when the file was uploaded and then when we finally get 49'15, he can give us the link (Badongo anyone?)
Like sometimes at night I wonder if taco is really Saturn slowly showing all his ceres timesavers in order to praise himself (no I don't really believe that, I just think of it as a unlikely possibility...)
Just wondering, has anybody got 49'12 beside Saturn (which I don't really believe he got)?
49'19 49'17 49'17 49'14 which is very strange behavior for the clock.
I'll see if it's possible to optimize the beginning of the room… Two skipped pumps are two whole pixels. There must be a way to reach that steam puff sooner…
Having much knowledge doesn't obligate me to apply it everywhere anyone will point me to. I'm already a hard enough to motivate player, as if you didn't know. I do share my knowledge with everyone who asks me, though, so I bear no guilt on that part.
If I start rambling about how you know so much (definitely not less than me) about Super Metroid and yet didn't beat my times on Zebes, would you start doing that until you have fully succeeded? I don't think so, as you have other things to do beside accepting silly challenges. And so do I.
My security, in fact, lets me not concern myself with anything I don't want to do at the moment (Ceres, for example) in the least, until I run out of better things to do and am fully up for it. What makes you keep on pestering me about optimizing Ceres does look like an insecurity, though, because you just won't let it go. I'm not bothered by personal achievements and persons behind them; you are.
I don't mean to jump into this, but lately I've seen Saturn's posts been rather offensive towards moozooh in different places... You know, kinda pushing him again and again to find those missing frames, while moozooh on the other hand isn't showing much interest in raising the clock by a few 1/100 seconds.
You know, it's really not too late for you to take the opportunity, show us your smv and contribute something useful for Ceres. ;-)
