The other videos linked on the guide aren't mine, they're Joecurr's. I play on emu and keyboard too. My PB has a keyboard cam if it can be any help showing off how I do the air walk (video is timestamped)
hey! Cool to see people interested in that category! Anyways, I don't know what keybinds you use or what your mashing strat is, but I suggest using 1 hand to hold Right and your other hand to tap Down. It's not really about mashing, since optimally you want to release Down for 3 frames before repressing it, so I also suggest just practicing timings rather than mashing speed
If you need more infos about the run in general, I have a full guide for the PAL Any% route
just note that every NES emu on Mac runs at 60FPS flat instead of the actual 60.09881389 the NES normally runs at, which make a difference of about 0.5 second in an Any% run and about 2 seconds in a Warpless run
every single one of your runs is an April Fool's joke
just watched your video. The main problem I'd say is that you're jumping straight to the middle of the wrong warp instead of landing on the corner. Doing so will allow you to gain more speed before entering the pipe. You should be landing here:
idk no one ever requested it so it was never added. If enough people care about running it then maybe it will be added but considering how unpopular 2j is, I doubt it
no it doesn't count as a softlock
the easiest way to softlock on NTSC is to bump a lot of walls like in this video
You don't need that no. If you want to retime your runs yourself, somewes.com is a good website for that
mushrooms take 59 frames and fire flowers take 63
@Shadowbrine1 not the 1st instance of GDfan being rude and it's also not the only community he's rude in. He doesn't speedrun any game he follows besides 3D World and half of his messages are necroing posts or just being annoying. Surprised he's not banned from multiple forums at this point
actually instead of making it a different category, you can split the Any% board in 2 and have an NTSC and PAL tab. If you look at the SMB1 board that's what they did and it's more convenient/aesthetically pleasing. It can also be applied to other categories if needed and it makes it so the categories aren't too cluttered. On a side note, idk how you guys feel about the deathless category, but the run is just PAL Any% with nothing different. Maybe it would make more sense for the category to be NTSC only (and also move JoshKeys' run to the Any% PAL board)? Just a thought
@MikeyLovesRetro while I agree with your arguments towards splitting PAL and NTSC, making a keyboard-only board is useless. For NES games in general, playing on a keyboard vs. an NES controller or really any other types of controller doesn't make a difference. The best example is my 4:54 Sum of Best on SMB1 using a Guitar Hero guitar, something I have also achieved on controller and keyboard. The only reason I play with a keyboard is because NES controllers have given me hard hands pain over the years because my hands are just too big for these controllers. It would be kinda unfair to be put on a different board 'cause I physically can't play with a normal controller
Omg this is so much faster (and looks easier?). I had never seen that before, it's crazy
