Sigh those fucking hammers. When I used to play this a lot sometimes I would just get a feeling there was no chance I was making it through and sometimes I just knew it was happening, can't really explain why.
This game doesnt like me at all lately. i want 457, but its not going to ever happen, sadly. might move to mynext project soon
While it would be sad, never to hear you on this game anymore, you called yourself off once and then returned with a new WR I have faith and confidence in you, Sir!
Need more time for this. Though... with my ultimate goal still being 4:57, there's no rush I guess. I will get it eventually. It's gonna take me a long time though, I guarantee that. I think I can safely say that I will get it sometime. I will have other projects simultaneously though. 4:58 is a time that will stand for a long time, but eventually it will fall. My guess is that 4:58 will stand for 5 more years.
In the meantime, I'm going to go ahead and start beating some records that are a bit more beatable.
*shakes fist at 4:57*
EDIT: Some things of interest:
I did some tests recently. I put one of my best 8-4 performances ever onto one of my 4:58 times. I then calculated a theoretical best time.
Conclusion: A time of 4:57 should be possible when missing one frame rule (ie: bullet bill glitch omitted). HOWEVER! What this requires is a flawless 8-4 performance. The time I calculated with my incredible 8-4? 4:58.03.
I don't think anyone will ever get a 4:57 without doing the bullet bill glitch. However, I think it's possible. I think it requires an 8-4 performance with 0 frames of error though, and well, that's just ridiculous.
I did it! 4:58.88 though I lost a frame rule on 4-2 wrong warp because I hit the wall jump pixel going down into the warp zone. My time would've been 4:58.53 if I didn't lose that frame rule
I think something is up with the 4-2 warp... Andrewg mentioned that one of his runs had some weird 2 frame difference after the 4-2 warp once and I just checked the difference between a normal wrong warp and my run where I lost a 21 frame rule and there is a difference of 22 frames :|
