Terimakasih's words translated wrote:
If i remember correctly, if you perform a high jump, the fall speed increases. However, there are two problems with this, I think: 1: distance Compare the red and the orange paths. The orange line is long, in other words, the distance I must move is long. Therefore, I would guess that it takes longer time. 2: the jump behaviour If/when Samus jumps, naturally, she comes to the highest position. (?) (After that, she drops down.) If you happen to make a high jump, the time that she remains in the air is long, I think. Therefore, I would guess that it takes longer time.
My thoughts: If the horizontal speed is the same for walking and running, you will get to the edge of the platform at the same time. But if you jumped, you would have more vertical speed and fall faster. In that case, jumping is better. The length of the path isn't important. If your horizontal speed is faster for walking than jumping, then walking is better. Translation: 歩くこととジャンプの水平方向の速度は同じなら、同時にプラットホームの端に着く。 しかし、ジャンプすれば、垂直方向の速度はもっと高い。そんな場合は、ジャンプした方がいい。 線の長さは大切じゃない。(関連がない?) 歩くことの水平方向の速度はジャンプのより高ければ、歩いた方がいい。 Attempt at picture:
If horizontal speed is equal:

           **
           **
w w w w w  **
********   **
********w  **
           **
       w   **
           **
      w    **



    j      **
  j   j    **
j       j  **
********   **
********   **
        j  **
           **
           **
       j   ** 
Jump (j) gets to the goal in less turns (meaning: less time) than walking (w). But only if horizontal speed is equal for jumping and walking. If not you will have to test.

Highness: >I ment if you could place the powerbomb as soon as you enter the room. Like switch to powerbomb while jumping in the other room -> Mockball -> continue to roll to the left -> As soon as possible, place the power bomb and roll to the hole in the floor. Depends... if Samus travels faster than the powerbomb explosion, it's better to place the bomb as late as possible. If it's impossible to not lose speed, you should place it when you no longer travel faster than the explosion. (There's a delay too which makes things complicated.) Testing a few different frames is probably a good idea. >Seems like you slow down before you reach the hole. I know that the mpg file you made is just a showoff. Nothing finals yet eh? =) This doesn't matter. He still has to wait for the bomb to clear the way. If he gets there faster, it just means he has to wait longer. >Also you could combine it to what you other guys are talking about. To jump while the bomb explodes to be falling faster down the hole in the floor. Good idea. Jump before the bomb destroys the blocks, and reach them when they disappear so you have more vertical speed.

Thanks for your explanation,'fire'. Most of these cases, I use 'Google'(Search Engine). For example, I could't understand 'sugestion',so I searched this word in Google. Then, Google said 'Did you mean: suggestion'. (Andthen, I can use dictionary;) So, most of missed-spell has no problem.^^;

Google is often a good judge in spelling questions. For example, if you're wondering whether the word is "excelerate" or "accelerate", just do a google search on both words and compare them. excelerate: 47600 hits accelerate: 5390000 hits Clearly, accelerate is the correct way. If there are more choices, search them all. (And remember to unselect the "search for pages in <language x> only" option.)

You said ,'you are boaster!', did't you? (My dictionary said 'showoff' means 'boaster';) I thought, I just want to cooperate for you... 'I could't understand all of your paragraph.' I said. This paragraph means 'I can't understand how to use my P-bombs.' 'Why I need to use P-bomb?', I thought or 'How I use P-bomb?', I thought. (So, I used P-bobm,in my hesitation) (I think that in this case, 'beam' is best way, isn't it?)

I was meaning that your skills are great and that mpg was just to show the others what you concluded. In the full run (if you make one again) I suppose you would do it more precice and accurate.

Well.. P-bomb should be used because the blast will take out the block on the ground about the same time as you get there. There for you should place the p-bomb as soon as the door shuts behind you so that you won't have to wait for the block to go away.

I did not complain about your skills. And you don't make me irritated. :)

Thats nice. I do prefer an MPG file as well. Much easier to just click and watch. :) Oh.. Speaking of dictionaries and such. I found it very good to look the word up in it's original language. Since converting a language ain't that good all the times. I try to understand in the native way. For example you can search for words on www.dictionary.com to see what they mean. Better than google most of the time. :)

I feel relieved,now; Now, I tried to use Dictionary.com. I searched for 'showoff' , with 'Dictionary-Option'. This website said two meaning. 1:The act of showing off. 2:One who shows off. I think, No.1 means good-meaning.(like admire.) No.2 means bad-meaning.(like abuse.) Umm,after all, I can't choice; I wonder whether the word is best, "No.1" or "No2"; And, sorry, to use English-English-Dictionary, is too difficult for me; >To all I am thankful for all. But my act of translation needs a lot of times. (and, I'm tired;) So, I can't take a movie,sorry. I have more things which I must do... Now, Can I suggest it? Do anyone take a new movie?

"I demonstrated 'showoff' with 'Dictionary-Option'." Did you say, "This sentence is more better." ? If I demonstrate 'demonstrate' with 'Dictionary-Option'.", The Dictionary.com said like this. (I think , maybe it is good example.)

>Ok, I'll try to jump or walk-down.(case by case,isn't it?) Yes. Probably it depends on what is below. So you will have to test which is faster case by case. My guess is that jumping is faster in most cases though. I really hope you will make a new video.

I watched the new replay by you Terimakasih. It's not perfect, but I like when you say you will remake from ship. From watching the movie here's my comments. I think you should mockball when ever it's possible for longer distances. Note that you slow down when landing after a jump. With mockball you don't right?

Yes, I think so.
Note that you slow down when landing after a jump.
I understood this sentence.
With mockball you don't right?
Sorry, I can't understand this sentence; I must do my work right now(not making a movie), so , I'll come again this thread,after 13-15 hours;

My works end ealier.(Lucky;) This is my new movie.(Ship - First elevator) http://type.s31.xrea.com/info/logimg/metroid/new001.zip I tried to do about jecy's advises. Is this the best way? And , I ask someone, one question. If someone submit a his's movie,and his Clear-Time is 00:29. And, If my movie's Clear Time is same time(00:29). I wonder , which movie will be Published? I think , 'The movie submitted quickest, will be published.' Is my expectance wrong? I try to ask someone, another words. If someone submits their movie,and his movie is perfect, What becomes my creating movie? I'm very worry about this. In these case, the effort becomes meaningless?; Perhaps,you know that to make a Metroid's movie is very hard. ('Hard' does not mean 'Technique is hard') I think that my English is too hard to understand; If you have any question, please ask to me.

If two movies are submitted, and they are the exact same times, whichever is submitted first will be published. However, it is very unlikely that two movies of a game such as Super Metroid wlil have the EXACT same times. Additionally, I think you are the only one who is working on Super Metroid. So basically, you do not need to worry. The only time your effort would be meaningless is if your current movie is slower than an existing movie.

If he wanted to tell me, like this paragraphs, My answer is 'not correct.' Because, we have no reason to slow down when Samus land,anytimes. I think.

We compare the movie length and style. If the lengths are equal, style decides. We hope that if movies are beaten, they are beaten with big changes instead of small changes.
