I think she has to have at least 90% damage. EDIT: Actually it depends on how high the lava is. If it is all the way at the bottom then she needs over 110% damage, and if it is at the very top then she only needs around 80%. It also depends on whether she dies off the side or the top of the screen.

I know, it's pretty much useless.

Is it possible to keep Samus pinned down if you do the jump+Down A attack a bunch of times in succession?

huh? when you're outside, only the outside is loaded, and when you're inside, only the inside is loaded. so how can you do the BLJ on the slope if you're inside?
I meant if both sides were loaded I could do the BLJ outside and go straight to the second floor.

It's strange, because even after I go inside the castle and load the textures, BLJing on that slope still brings me to the black room. I'm guessing that opening the front door is what loads the textures, so whenever Mario's outside the castle the inside of the castle cannot be reached.

I'm not sure if this has been found before, and it's quite useless for a speedrun, but it's funny anyway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuZx2I8HF3g

the only way I see 4:59 being possible is if as soon as the round begins, both you and metal mario do a backflip to the left, you suck him up while he's in midair, then fall off the stage boundary.

I think 4:58 is the absolute fastest you can beat metal mario http://download.yousendit.com/97C421B6710B7DC1 Of course, you could do that or go for damage points. EDIT: nvm, damage points makes you lose the pacifist bonus

would he have saved substantial time if he used a bot?

do you know how much extra time you still have to get speed demon? If there is a lot you could use it to rack up damage points to samus or metal mario, or for the aforementioned random occurences like the arwing. You're going for acid clear against samus, right?

it's a compromise between the two, although I would say his run is more inclined towards the shortest time goal.

if kirby has an enemy in his mouth and he goes below the bottom stage boundary, he dies, not the enemy. That's why you have to wait a bit before you drop down with the enemy in kirby's mouth, so kirby spits him back out at the last second.

I don't why people are in such an uproar over my comments; I'm just saying that running is firmly ingrained in human society thus more and more people will eventually achieve 4 minute mile, whereas as video games evolve less people remain playing SM so the chances of a 32 min run being repeated grow slimmer.

there are many things once thought impossible that people have achieved. the 4 minute mile is just an arbitrary example.

I would like to see it finished. It would set the first precedent for the game upon which others can contribute improvements.

even if the run specifically goes for high score, would the time mistakes get it rejected?

keep going, and if you want you can make an improvement later.

I know very well what proportional means. He implies that at least 20 people would achieve 32 min in the next 50 years

laughing_gas, I would think that Shaded Spriter was referring to comparison on a proportional scale, not an absolute scale.
50 years after the 4 minute mile is broken, 2000 people can achieve it. 50 years after SM is beaten in 32 min, 1 person can achieve it.
