This topic is for the purpose of discussing #110: Grillo's SNES HAL's Hole in One Golf in 11:58.05

Is it not possible to sink the ball from outside the green without putting? In many cases you hit the ball right next to the hole, so I'm sure by adjusting a few variables you can sink it without using an extra stroke to put. There were also a few short holes that I think would've allowed a hole-in-one. That's what I would've wanted to see.

It is possible to sink the ball from outside the green, I've done that many times myself back in the good old days :) In any case, I tried badly to sink these pitches, the problem with the emulation, is that precision suffers when it's slowed down. It's really hard to time the shot power perfectly, the keypress doesn't react immediately when you press it. I tried all sorts of variations, but I just couldn't make it. I also tried to redo the holes, but the wind is always the same once you've started a new round, so there are no random elements there. I might try to remake this, or if someone feels like it, try it themselves, as I said in the description, it is possible to make it better. I also tried for some hole-in-ones, but that would be even more difficult than sinking those pitches... I recommend that you try it for yourself and see how hard it is to time the shots perfectly when the game is speeded down. It would be better if you could control the frames better, now the game just rolls on with a non-consistant framerate when you speed it down. Edit: The problem described above is also the reason why not all shots are hit perfectly. It's incredibly hard to do that, so I found I was pleased by making shots that were sufficient to reach the score I wanted on each hole. I mean, even the first hole has a difficult tee-shot...

I just don't think that's enough. Apart from the speed with which you make your selections I think this could be done without rerecords. Or at least close. I don't think almost anything in your movie qualifies as being super-human.

I know, and I agree with you there. If someone makes an emulator that makes it possible to use a set framerate or pause seperate frames, I'll be able to make this perfect, until then, that will not be easy because of said reasons. Also, I'm a newbie at this, and anyone should feel free to beat my score. I recommend that people don't focus on time, but on score though. A pure hio, eagle, albatross round would be cool to watch. And as I've asked, is there any way to take control over the wind? Apart of playing on an easier difficulty that is.

I've come to a conclusion: I'm gonna do a new one with this game, but this time I will choose the easiest difficulty, cause it seems all difficulty decides is the wind, and the wind is what made this so damn difficult even with re-records to make a perfect round. I might redo this one some time in October, since I'm moving out 1st Oct, and things will be pretty hasty around now...

om, nom, nom... blech, stale!
