TBH, I think it would be better to just finish this and not wait for Mupen64Plus. There's really no telling how long it will be for them to finish, and in the meantime, we have a OoT run that desperately needs obseletion. It's not like anyone would really fault you for the emulator's lack of features.
Awesome WIP, BTW.
However, the run can easily be obsoleted as soon as Mupen64Plus is finished.
I wouldn't say easily. As you may have noticed, the OoT community is absurdly strict when it comes to TASes. It would still need to be at least as well-optimized as one done with standard Mupen.
Love the WIP!!! Hopefully this will be finished, even w/o the new Mupen64Plus, as it will be a while before its finished. It would be nice to see a new any% Zelda. Keep up the good work!!
Is it possible to do infinite superslide while looking forward as well? (i'm guessing the answer is around in the topic somewhere as usual)
It looks pretty awesome when forward sliding the long distances across hyrule compared to the normal way, 9 frames really isn't that much compared to the entertainment value. Has any decision been made about this and whether to use it in the upcoming TAS?

There is one true form of forward supersliding where you superslide into the Ghoma cutscene, sadly you won't have bombs at that point in the game and it wouldn't save time anyway.
You should also note that throughout the game sidehopping is mostly used.
I just finished watching the 100% run on SDA, and I must say it was awe-inspiring to see what that hidden grotto with the Dekus hidden underground was meant for; I had thought it was an unfinished part of the game because I couldn't figure out what to do and it wasn't in the Nintendo guide but it turns out you get upgrades to your capacities of Deku Sticks and Nuts in that room.
The only thing cooler than seeing it in an unassisted speed run would be seeing it in a TAS, and if only I had the time to master the techniques and tweak the route (a TAS, even with save-warping, wouldn't need 64 segments) I would do it. I think in the end, a run like this would manage to be just under 6 hours (the unassisted segmented run is 6:55) and might be the first TAS on the site with three authors lol.
