Twitch version:
I kind of stuck to pace resets at either 1 hour or my No ACE PB for most of my attempts, but damn 45 run attempts to finally get this? Thats a lot. 37+ hours of playtime on my splits. But I have a good amount of consistency to work with. Next up I wanna finish more runs because my ultimate goal is being able to do this in a Multi Mario run. I already had a feeling that should be pretty possible and that feeling is even more intense now with my first finished run.
I do have to say its a bit crazy that I did fail to execute ACE 5 times before this. First I missed the coin to not getting a backflip, then I collected it too early, then had a bonk on the way there (making me not be there in time), again mistimed it by 0.5s and then again another bonk that was followed up by accidental spin buffer inputs as getting up from the bonked state undoes the mario cam thingy.
