Hello I think I found a glitch in Super Mario 64, in Dire Dire Docks, when you are on pole, and you get red coin while on pole and grab star, you will teleport underwater and animation of getting star will happen, but after this you will instant teleport upwards to the surface of water. I can't believe nobody found that earlier.
Will this be useful for 100 coins in DDD or something?
I don't know if there is other level with pole above water, so I don't know if this is also possible on other level.
Anybody knows how many frames were saved here compared to BitS from the 5:00:36 run? Asking mainly Nahoc or somebody from the 0 Star Team.
EDIT: I forgot to tell that I'm working on something that will take lotsa time. Are you guys sure the American version is faster for 120 stars?
EDIT 2: I see you guys were talking about ABC Super Mario 64. I support pannenkoek2012 very often, and I managed to think about some strats which ended up being a success. I will ask him if we wants to make an any% run, but you guys must REALLY want it, otherwise it would be (A LOT OF) effort wasted.

I for one would really like to see a new any% run. The no A-press stuff is fun, but any% is what intrigues me the most. Good luck beating the current WR if you decide to go for it.

What do you mean by "beating the current WR"? You mean how many times you press A? There's already an any% run ABC?

I'd love to see ABC any% (or 100% depending on what pannenkoek wants to do). I've seen almost all of his ABCs and the whole concept is very interesting. If he wants positive feedback for a run, here is the place to look for it. From what I've gathered, snark's work on improving the current 0 star run and pannenkoek's ABCs are the two things keeping this game alive.
Just so everyone's on the same page: ABC any% will be an over 22 hour long TAS because there is a mandatory 11 hour glitch that you have to do twice for two different stars. If you skip doing it then you incur extra A button presses and defeats the point of ABC any% to begin with.

Jesus, 22 hours? That's what I was afraid of. Maybe the encode could have an "abridged/fast forward" exception (like several of pannenkoek's videos). I know there aren't any published TASes (to my knowledge) that have that exception and I know a lot of people would rule against it. But if not, maybe someone can stream a looped TAS, kind of like what adelikat did with the "never-ending" TAS for awhile. Looking back at how other people have judged submissions on these forums, its highly unlikely that it would get published.
edit: Maybe it's just best to sit on this idea, hoping there's a solution that skips these 11 hour trials. Like I said, I can't see people being okay with a submission that lengthy, based on runs that have been rejected for far less reasons in this game alone (camera angles, not enough frames saved, etc.).
TASVideos staff are very adamant on 'the TAS has to be entertaining/good on its own merits, not due to a special encode'.
If you want to do ABC stuff, TAS individual stars, that could be cool to see.
I want to point out that one of the 11h stars can be replaced by BBH 100 Coins 0x.
For the other 11h one I have no clue. We were working on JRB 100 coins without A, but it SEEMS impossible. Also, it may be possible to get one of the Volcano Stars by lava boosting, but neither me and him can get it. However, it's a REALLY close star, trust me.
We'd need a veteran Super Mario 64 TASer to help us by checking some stars.
(Pannenkoek2012 is not active from a long time for some reason, I think he's taking a break.)
I think a 100% abc run would be technically interesting but very hard to make. Also some TASes have special encodes but it is always in addition to the standard encode, but the file size for the encode wouldn't be insanely huge because those 11 hours are very repetitive so it should compress decently well.
Projects:
Interested in TASing N64 Mario Golf.
GBA Mario Tennis: Power Tour is on hold.
I don't know much about encoding, but I don't think a 23/24/25h long TAS is going to get encoded easily.
Talking as an ignorant in subject. Correct me if I'm wrong (22h of them are looped).

Well, that would depend on the compression settings and how "repetitive" it is (i.e. how far apart it is repeat in the temporal plane). I would remain skeptical that it is easily compressible.
