Quote from stanski:

the bullet bill glitch literally means not only jumping on the bullet on one specific frame, but one that requires running at the correct speed and jumping on the correct part of the bullet.

i'm not sure this is correct - i've gotten the glitch at maximum speed as well as sub-maximum speed (notice the walkathon also pulls off the glitch), and i've gotten the glitch by hitting the end of the bullet as well as the front. i don't know exactly what aspect of performing the glitch is frame or pixel precise but there's something about it that makes it pretty much completely luck-based whether you get it or not.

and from my experience i would say the chance of the bullet coming out in time is greater than 1/10, but it's all just estimating really.

Hm i didn't even think to attempt practicing this at not full speed. When I practiced with full speed there was literally only one frame i could jump on to do it successfully (just loading up a savestate over and over). I guess I should have attempted it more from different angles and not with the same jump height at full speed.

So I'm not sure what to do, but I think I want to do something cool with super mario bros. Cheesy

Be it something no one's really ever done, or some new speedrun stuff Wink

too bad that didn't happen during the marathon, but still awesome! How about doing the whole game blind. Like seriously practice it. That would be AMAZING! I think the TAS is high 4:58, which I can only conclude that you have pretty much perfected this game!

I think on SDA timing the TAS is 4:54ish, but that doesn't make andrewg's run any less impressive.

I'd like to see you demolish your old 100% time, but if you'd rather do something else that's cool.

Thanks for the clarification Romscout. I really wasn't sure, so that makes sense. but who cares what the TAS time is, Andrewg will beat it somehow anyway, we all know it.
