Hey Kirkq, I don't mean to be a bother, but is there anyway you could encode your World 3 progress? I'm just about there in my speed run (current segment is Snake Route and Baruda with Hades Crater and Magma Lake) and I want to know what you've done. Problem is Mupen crashes everytime I try to play a movie, not to mention it runs at about 10fps. I think I came up with some pretty good strategies for the majority of World 3, but TASing there's a very good chance you've done better.

Just get what's needed. Skip whatever 50 is most out of the way, just make sure you don't skip the dimensional bomb. That goes for every dimensional bomb level.

If you want it to be completely optimal it's going to take a lot of luck manipulation to make sure the Pokemon you pick up have the Speedy trait.

Alright, thanks. I'll make sure that in my accepted segment I get the stingray, as well as those screws right when I get to that part. I might also redo my first segment, as it's the only one with a noticeable mistake. The rest look (at least to me) really good for being on console. And, if I have any problems with routing levels I may ask for more advice, as well as I can try to help you once you get eventually get back around to this.

I'm on that segment of the run right now on my console speed run (Primus Area 1) and it definitely seems like a tiny run for momentum is faster than an extra full jump. And since I'm on that segment, the Groog Hills advice is helpful. Also, how do you get past the stingray on Erars Lake without him blowing you back? I haven't been able to figure that out.

I did not expect this quick of a response lol. I understand school getting in the way. I'm just letting you know there's at least someone that's paying attention to this game. Good luck to you, in this and your 7th Saga TAS. And I just realized Mupen64 does not work on my computer. I'll have to wait.

Hey Kirkq, I've been following this since you started and was wondering a few things. I started a console speed run, somewhat based on your TAS for World 1, and it looks great. You mentioned below you drop a bomb when you begin Fog Route to get momentum, but couldn't you do the same thing in Clown Valley? Or is the fall too short to make a difference? Also, what's the window of precision on that jump around the wall in Fog Route? Am I going to be able to pull that off on console? Because I've been trying for some time now and can't get it. And how's progress on Katina coming?
