Autism or Interesting?

>>323956537
All that trouble to just to beat the level in a few jumps.

Nothing is worth that much pain

>>323956537
It's pretty goddamn interesting. I am seriously amazed at how anyone can possibly figure all this shit out.

I checked out his other videos, but it was mostly dull and repetitive. Way too much focus on minimal A presses.

>>323957310
>what is TAS

Nigger you don't know.

>>323956537
I watched this a few days ago

he basically describes how he got that to work in minuet detail, so to answer your question it's all fucking 3. If you watched the original video you'd probably wonder how the hell he did that (the informative part), how Mario gains speed, and how objects react to him/how collision checking works (the interesting part), and how much time he spent gathering all that speed so he could teleport through those meshes on the hill (the pointlessly autistic part)

doesn't make it any less cool though, Mario 64 is still one of the best 3D games of all time and lot of love went into designing it. How do you think the programmers would react to seeing someone master their creation? It's their life work

This kid is fun at parties

>>323956537
autism and interesting

>>323958138

He explained it as 2.5 A presses, the first of which being the so-called "half-press", so he would indeed have to press it two more times, which means he released it, making it, by his definition, a full press

>>323957453

The camera vibrating fucks with my brain.

>>323956537
Pure concentrated autism but it was a really interesting watch.

>>323957948

>>323958284
2.5 was for Wing Mario over the Rainbow, not Hazy Maze.

"Half" is only indicated for these single star videos, in the full game run a half press will be part of another full press.

>>323958518
https://youtu.be/h1QEIu6jgkk?t=33

>you will never be this excited for a consumer product

>>323956537
This freak has done this for every level in the game more or less. He's a complete and total loser. Even if you love Super Mario 64 there's no reason to waste hundreds of hours trying to beat every level in some obscure obfuscated way.

you're asking a weird question.

to anyone who doesn't get speedrunning, they'd shut your video off in 30 seconds and call you a raging autist.

for someone actually interested in speedrunning, it was informative and interesting, if not a little too verbose / drawn-out.

but in all honesty it's the speedrunning category that's autistic and any talk of shaving off 1/2 of a button press is going to come off as autistic no matter what.

>>323957310
>a few jumps
He did it in half a jump

Don't feel like watching it again to see; How does he actually jump from PU to PU without just going crazy and sliding everywhere? Does he press b or something and near instantly teleports? I'm guessing he used a lot of save states to trial and error the exact locations and stuff

>>323958626
>2.5 was for Wing Mario over the Rainbow, not Hazy Maze.

Doesn't matter, the same principle applies. He shouldn't be dead fucking wrong when he's explaining it. Does Hazy Maze END with the half-press or does he have to press A again? Because if he EVER releases A before getting the star, then, by his definition, it is a full press

>>323958827
What happens is, during that whole segment, his speed is gradually decreasing, and once it reaches the right number, the game THINKS that Mario is on his way to solid ground, so he warps from spot to spot as soon as his speed falls to the right point.

He needed the 12 hours to get his speed high enough to make his route without building any speed in the middle of it, see.

>half-press

You can't 'half-press' something. To press an object is to exert force on it. Letting go of A is 'releasing', not pressing.

He could claim that he beat the level without pressing A since he pressed it before entering the level.

Still an interesting video, though.

>>323957964
>>323958284
>>323958854
He pressed a before he entered the area, and let go right at the end. It's called a half A press, because if it were a whole A press he could use that initial jump from pressing a to gain some height somewhere. "0.5 A Press" is basically just the name given to this harder category where you never actually get to press a to jump as he was already holding down a before he entered.

The only thing that would impress me is if the guy 100% the game without dying and with the screen off.

This is babby loser mode.

Fucking bakas

>>323959105
Oh right, I forgot about the whole collision checking thing, I understand now. Thanks anon.

>>323958854
Presses a, goes into the level, then releases a in the level. When you look at the complete run, it would be one press; press, hold, release. If you look at the level by itself, like in the video, it's a half-press; hold, release.

He's pushing a flawed definition. Just because a radical liberal spends an hour explaining how gender is a social construct doesn't make it correct.
The guy in the video is using a technicality to beat the level without pressing A. He releases at the end, which is entirely different from a press.

>>323959596
Are you completely 100% retarded to the point you can't understand basic logic?

No anon. This isn't autism. Autism is something that only exists in medical books or on TV dramas.

This is deep love.

>>323959596
he never said anything like that dumbass

Press A at some point in the castle - | Enter Level | - Hold A - Release A - | Complete Level |

For a full game play, including castle, which this will be a part of, it'll be a full press. For this specific star, this level alone, it's a half press, because he never actually pressed the A button in the level.

>>323959815
ok now you're arguing semantics, and by you're retarded logic it's even more impressive as he's gotten the star with 0 A presses.

>>323957440
>master their creation
More like he mastered the way the system hardware rounds up floating point operations. It's autism not the love for the game design or the game itself. He might aswell try o fuck the cpu

>>323960623
It's because it's considering a full game run.

A run of just this level necessitates a single A button press. A run of the full game would have had an A button press prior to the level, so he'd just need to continue holding it down, and wouldn't tack on another button press.

You round down with a full run, and round up with a single level run. He explains this.

This kind of logic is so fucking stupid. Just because someone knows something inside and out doesn't mean they could easily apply that to anything.

Yes you can, if your definition of 'half-press' is the same one as the one in the video.

>>323960623
I explained why in a different post. It's because the initial button press wasn't in the course, so he doesn't actually get to A jump within the course. In this way what we'd call a "0.5 A press run" is harder than a "1 A press run" because he doesn't actually get to jump using A while in a "1 A press run" you do get to use that initial A press to jump somewhere and give you some height..

>>323963510
>He fucking pressed A, and everyone in this thread knows it
He knows it too, but he pressed it outside the level, so the A press will count for outside the level, not inside.

If you want to choose a completely different counting system where your A press is counted only when you release the A button, then the segment before the level will have one less A press even though he pressed A but didn't released it. Same problem.

>>323963913
>0.5

Stop saying this, he pushed it once

>>323964080

you're joking, right?

If the B button was the same as pressing the A button then he wouldn't need to do this shit that everyone is calling autistic just to beat a level.

It may be autism but he's not wrong about the A press.

The A is pressed before the level is loaded. In the level itself he only uses half of an A press.

It's reasonable and logical, but I don't expect /v/ to accept it because we're faggots.

So? He still pressed it. That's all that matters.

>>323964336
>He still pressed it. That's all that matters.
Yes, all that matters is that he pressed it before entering the level.

>>323964164
As I've said several times before, a "0.5 A run" is just the name that makes the most sense to describe not actually getting to press A while in the level and instead having to rely on only holding it down. You might just be trolling me at this point, and if so, good job at triggering my autism so hard.

>>323964186

That's my argument. It's retarded. You can see for yourself, how is he jumping in the game? With the B button. So he literally gimped himself for a retarded ".5 A button press" even though he's hitting B the whole way. AND it's TAS on top of it.

Just not impressive to me.

But you can only do certain jumps by pressing A, no matter how much you hit B it won't be possible to do them.
Pressing A and pressing B isn't the same.

What the fuck did I just watch?

>>323964336
stop thinking of "0.5 presses" as a number. it's just a label to describe a more abstract concept.
important thing to understand here, is the difference between a full run and just the level. when you're looking at just the level, obviously you need an A press. looking at the full run, however you dont have to press A inside the level at all, it was pressed before the level, and counts for the previous level's A presses.
the reason he doesn't say "0 A presses" for that level is because yes, it was pressed at some point. it helps differentiate between a level that ACTUALLY involves 0 A presses, and levels where an A press involved is actually pressed in a different level

do you understand yet? let me know if you need me to try to explain it to you from another angle here. i can draw pictures if you'd like

>>323964231
I think it's beautiful. He has such an indepth understanding of the game that he can do things that are all but impossible for us to comprehend. I've watched his other videos. I have never seen Mario speed runners do things like this before.

If you showed this to the programmers of Mario 64, I'm sure they would be amazed and want to know more about it.

>>323964730

I never said they were equal, I said they were equivalent. Hitting B let's you get a normal A jump. Of course they don't function exactly the same.

>>323956537
That was beautiful. Why aren't we distributing this autism stuff to everyone worldwide so we can evolve and be a species where everyone is autistic?

Do you acknowledge that this run would be much easier if he was allowed to press A during the run to get a jump out of it? If so, do you understand that a run in which he starts with A already held down is more challenging than one in which he's allowed to press A in-run? That they are basically different runs and have to be distinguished?

I agree with you. If he pressed it down and held it for the entire level to have the effect of the button, it counts as a full press when he lets go.

So it would be one long half press, the entire time he held it.

He clearly defined what 0.5 is in the video, so there is a 0.5.

Answer me this: Did he press A outside the level? Inside? Both?
If you want to say both because he started to press it outside, kept holding it and released it inside the level, then you see that when only considering what happens inside the level there is only 0.5.

He is only calling it that to make himself seem cooler in his fucking video. Calling it a half a press to make it sound impressive as if he managed to complete it with less effort or something. He didn't. He pushed the button. He wishes he didn't. But he did.

>>323966803

>>323967359

That is literally what 0.5 A press does as opposed to 1 A press. If he presses A inside the level (as opposed to having it held down as he enters), he gets the full height of an A jump. You can't really be this retarded.

>speedrun
>12 hours

>>323967781
Yes, but in a full run of the game (not a run of just this star), you could just continue holding A from a previous A press, so it wouldn't add an additional A press to the run. You only require an whole A press specifically for this star if you are only running this star.

>>323967876
This is more like

"If you can't do it, you have no leg to stand on by calling it 'not impressive', since you yourself cannot prove any regular schmuck (like yourself) can do it"

>>323967380
>He is only calling it that to make himself seem cooler in his fucking video.
Holy shit, you're taking the name so fucking literally.
"half press" is just what he calls it so that its easier to keep track of how often he actually pressed down A without people calling him out for cheating.

If he just straight up said "I pressed it 5 times" instead of "5.5 times" then people would scream "THEN HOW THE FUCK DID YOU DO THAT THING WITHOUT PRESSING A?"

"Half Press" is just a label given to that technique, not a literal half press of the A button.

Or you could just call it what it is: one normal button press

>>323968107
because its an IL.
This is all about he is showcasing an IL
It has always been him showing an IL

>>323968107
>Why not?
Because in a full run you can enter a level while holding A.
So when you want to count how many presses you need for a single level of that full run you can consider what happens when you already start the level holding A and count it as 0.5 when you release A for the first time.

>>323968347
But for the purpose of keeping track of how many actions require the A button, that is inefficient.

Why does it rustle your autism so badly that he has labled that technique "half press"?
He could have just as easily said "and we call this technique a wumbly bumper"

It doesn't fucking matter what he called it, it is what it is. He called it that so that he can say "thats just a half press" instead of having to say "well, I was still holding the button down from when I jumped up into that area 15 minutes " or some other specific example every time someone asks.

>>323968412
>Joysticks
>Buttons

>>323968364
>how many presses you need for a single level of that full run

And for his run he needs the ONE button press outside of the level. I know, for his sake he wants to round down so that it looks like he didn't do as much, but he still NEEDED to push the button regardless. He can't complete it without that, so to pretend that it's not necessary for this one level is bullshit.

>>323968740

>>323968534

So the guy is motivated enough to run at a wall for 12 hours, make a video of it from 2 different angles, and yet typing is too much work?

I'm not buying that one.

He's a liar and he pushed the A button

>>323968751
He specifically says in the video that if he was JUST running this level it would be a full press, but in a full game run its only half a press because he didn't actually press A inside of that level and did it elsewhere.

So in a run of just that level he'd have pressed A once, but in a full game run he would never have actually pressed A while inside of that level.

>>323968347
but he never presses the button while in the stage, he only releases it. However, if he'd never pressed the button in the first place, or released it at a different moment, he'd get a different reaction in the game. It's closer to a 0 than a 1.

>>323968610
0.5x A press is also relevant as a number when looking at the total number of A presses in a run. If we were to take a super simple run that only requires jumping once in the castle, and then having A held down for the rest of the game, then you wouldn't need to press A for every level. You'd press A once and hold it until the end. It wouldn't be 120 A presses, it would be 1. So having A held down through a level is definitely way different from pressing A in a level.

But you can bundle that A press with anything else in any other level. Its not like just outside the door he pressed A just so he could call it a half, think of any other star in his 'Dont Press A" run that would require a button press right near the end, you combo that into this and there is no button press wasted

>>323968751
>he needs the ONE button press outside of the level.
No, he needs to start pressing it outside the level, hold it, enter the level, then release it inside the level.
The one press isn't complete outside the level because he hasn't released it yet.

But, yeah, he does

>>323968751
>And for his run he needs the ONE button press outside of the level.
For his run he needs a ton of button presses outside the level. You might as well count every jump required to get to the level from the warp pipe at the beginning of the game.

has /v/ managed to out-autism that video by arguing over the semantics of what 0.5 A button presses means

It doesn't matter when the press began because he's STILL PRESSING THE BUTTON the whole time. It counts as 1 press, not a half.

It's one continuous press. He began the level already pressing the button. The release is all that matters.

>>323969240

How does one come to be holding the button down without ever having pressed it?

Does this guy have legit magic fingers now also?

And here I was excited that I made it to College Algebra, when this guy can do math problems I would spend 10 years trying to solve for a 20 year old game in his sleep.

>>323968986
He's not lying to anyone. You're just a literal autist and are taking speedrunning terms way too literally.

I'm with Henry here, this video is pretty unimpressive now that I know he's pressed A once.

>>323969358

He didn't do any of the work, someone else did.

>>323969172
keep reading the sentence, champ, you're almost at the end.

I want to see him do Sunshine or Super Mario 64 DS.

>>323969398

You're just literally riding some YouTuber's cock because he said 2+2=5 and you didn't argue with it

>>323968489
>B gives you a little jump, same as tapping A.
No, it fucking doesn't

See>>323966117

>>323969329
Because you hit it in a previous stage getting a star and didnt release it. This video is showing an IL, and individual level.

When condensed into an IL, the button is held for the duration of the stage, therefore, a half-press.

Do you understand it now?

Anon, how about you shut the fuck up?
You aren't involved in this community, you literally only know about it because of this thread.
You have no fucking right to determine whether it's a half, full quarter, anal penetration, or shitnado of an A press.
If you can do even a quarter of what this guy does, maybe we'll take your opinion with a spec of respect.

>>323969541
>A+B
>jump kick with a height the same as a A tap

Or did you think the whole time I meant B alone? It's implied that A was held the whole time because that's what this whole run is about.

>This thread is worse than early Youtube comments
He didn't do it.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>TAS

>>323969327
>The release is all that matters.
Then if he made a video with him pressing A and holding it (effectively jumping) to enter the level and stoping the video there.
And titled the video 'Entering the level with 0 A presses'
Would you be okay with that?

>>323969603

Well anything is impressive if you "isolate" it and take off all of the actual effort

Might as well say "don't count my button presses until I'm already at the star" and then he can walk into it and claim 0 A button presses

There's nothing impressive about lying

>a video about someone making a bug jump infinitely into space and traversing through parallel universes
>everyone's just arguing about the definition of an A press

>>323969512
Nah, I don't give a fuck about that guy and will probably never watch another video of his again.

You're just actually being a sperg.
The dude named a technique, and you're taking the name he gave it completely literally and getting mad.

Just because you're being a sperg doesn't mean the other guy is trying to seem cool or is lying to anyone. You just misinterpreted what he meant by 'half press' and instead of listening to all of the people trying to help you understand what he actually means, you're holding your ground and defending your misinterpretation as if everyone else is just trying to protect their precious eCeleb from your very important opinions about speedrunning naming conventions and techniques.

I feel like I'm in a university lecture, except weirder. I like it.

>>323969736

If he let go of A at any point, it's a press. The effect of A continues as long as it's pressed, and he's pressing it.

>>323956537
This thread is autistic.

>>323969327
it's considered a half press because of how they count it. As he enters the stage he's using the effect of a previous press. If you want to say that only the release counts, fine, then the actual pressing that was done in the previous world ironically doesn't count as a press.

What games let me explore parallel universes?

And not just jump through a portal where a room is slightly different, I want a game that uses it as a mechanic.

>>323969330
pull the trigger, fag

>>323969712
I find it funny how people dismiss the video because "TAS". You probably haven't "TAS"ed much, have you?

That shit is as time consuming as anything else, "TAS" is not some magical program where you write "Get this star in 0.5 presses" and magic happens, there's a ton of work and hours behind it.

>>323969658

You're right, I don't TAS games I play, I only 100% complete them without having to cheat or fuck with the game to achieve retarded fake tricks.

>>323969780
These IL's he is showing is leading to a full game run. This is routing, he needs to select the stars that lead to the least amount of button presses, he shows it like this so that it proves that this is a course that should be taken because of how few presses it needs.
He isnt lying.

>>323969801
It's the old stupid troll method where one continually makes a single annoying argument and never relents.

He's gotten half a dozen people suckered into talking to him.

You should have said "If you hit B while holding A", because thats the whole point of his runs. He wants to see what the lowest amount of A presses you need to beat Mario 64 is.

>>323956537
But... why?

>>323969967

Parts of these videos (I couldn't stop watching and went to his YouTube channel) are actually pretty good if you want to learn about basic programming / computer whys. Like the 255 coin limit video that deals with bits and binary.

Yeah guys I agree with the dude arguing against half button presses, this shit about Parallel Universes and "half button" presses is completely nonsense. He should just play the game as intended without labelling it as something special. Just take it from Narcissa Wright.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EHA1qxsLH-0

>>323970043

And I already addressed that. It's implied that A is already held down because that's what the run is about.

>>323969982
If he intends it to be a part of a full game run then he most DEFINITELY should not be cutting off half a button press and pretending he didnt do it

I never said TAS takes no skill, I said TAS is fake because you're tampering and messing with the game to achieve shit you wouldn't normally have been able to do.

to reach the QPU de facto hyperwalking speed to jump between universes

You can't be this fucking dense.

Okay, look at this video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaJOVyfPaBE

You don't have to watch the whole thing, the point is that he presses the A button near the end. That is one A press (out of the six the level requires.)

Now, say he doesn't let go of the A button between when he presses it at the end to get the jump he needs there, and the time he releases it during the video in the OP.

Did he have to press the A button once during the run of that video? Assume those two videos are done back to back as a single run of star gathering. Would the number of A presses needed to get both stars be 7 or 6?

It's 6, obviously. The .5 press is just a name to describe the action of using the holding action of a previous A press without actually pressing the button during the level run.

This is so simple I'm actually mad at myself for bothering to explain this.
