That's amazing, cak. There's no way I could muster the patience for a run like that. Congratulations.

I can now say that this run is more optimized then the Super Mario Bros. 3 Any% run, which is freaking awesome! Cheesy

Congrats dude!

Does anyone have any interest in All Levels now? I've noticed that Hotarubi is back to working on it: https://twitter.com/htrb_ta/status/345532687475421184

Well, you and him are doing the SNES version. And he needs to beat uo before it gets interesting sledge. Wink

Nah, I decided to take a break from speedrunning (though I might stream sometime for fun). A warpless Famicom run would be sweet though.

I timed my mistakes in Virtualdub and subtracted them from the overall time. Could've been 8:27.4, but the vcr still adds 1.2 sec, so actually a low 8:26 is possible if I record digitally.

Yes

Cak this run was just insane. The Birdo hop in 6-1 was totally bogus. Everything about the run otherwise was just so clean. You've done an incredible job hitting so many tricks and this was just such a great watch.

Hey sledge (or anyone else), I was wondering where to find Hotarubi's All Stars emulator movie. Or maybe just his Twitter url (since I think the link is on there)...thanks.

I'll be uploading my research movies to youtube soon, so I wanted to compare my warpless routes to his. I know my 3-2 was suboptimal, so there's probably other tricks I'm missing.

edit: I found the twitter, but the movie link is broken, so if anyone has the file, I would be most grateful.

NES, but I don't really have immediate plans for a speedrun. Right now I'm just collecting all known strats so I can upload individual level TASes (warps and warpless) to youtube. I enjoy making emu research movies, but get a little bummed when people can't watch them, so I figured yt might be more convenient.

I'd like to try this stuff out on console though...maybe on stream.

Btw cak please try to see if using the pow to bring a ninji into the boss room in 1-3 can save time. Even if it doesn't save much, failing it shouldn't be a huge time-waste.

andrewg

2013-08-16 08:33:28 pm

it does. i helped make the tas, so i know a few different alternative methods for some things. if you throw the ninja against a wall, you can hit mouser with the ninji 3 times in a row quickly.

Just realized I haven't even looked at the tasvideos warpless movie yet *facepalm*. I guess I'll cross that bridge later.

edit: Throwing Ninji against backwall is possible...saves 2~ sec.

warp/warpless movies
playable with

I went with Toad on 5-2...significantly harder than Luigi, but 3.2 sec faster. And I left the perfect Clawgrip in there.
1-3 Ninji saves something like 2.7 sec. Anyway these'l all be up on youtube sometime next week.

EDIT:
3-3 improved 128 frames
5-3 improved 122 frames

total time: 76180 / 60.1 = 21:07.55
