I think it's an intentional easter egg, because you can't kill Sluggy early, but you should have ample oppertunity to, because it's a similar situation (you run up to the boss).

I'm having a bit of trouble with 5-3, the route I planned isn't working out, could anyone with the inclination help me confirm that you can't wall jump off of this wall:

Turn off Sync Sound Samples with CPU and it works.

In specific, it's all four directions held down at once. In general you can turn on show input and figure most crazy input glitches out.

Some games require a button to be held down for a certain number of frames, anything running at less than 60 fps, actually. I discovered this when I briefly flirted with the idea of speedrunning Starfox.

If you are Popeye, and can have 30Hz muscle spasms at will, and have inhuman timing, and know the game forwards and backwards, and are very very very lucky, then every movie on this site is possible for you to do. Otherwise, you just need more skillz foo. :)

Perhaps it was copy-pasted from notepad... or something.

Thanks Skuzz, I am running KDE( which for some reason is EXTREMELY slow)
You probably don't have your video card's OpenGL drivers.

You're even discounting finite improbability devices with that sort of loony talk.

In Wily 1, you fire the Elecbeam 3 times and hit nothing, you don't collect any powerups later in the stage, and it causes lots of lag.... why?

Nice tool, bisqwit, but how do you know which buttons are pressed and which ones aren't? does it display on screen?
I'd assume he displayed it in stderr.

HD got screwed up in the move and I need to use the internet copy. I also only have the netinstall version of Debian. So I'm kinda stuck waiting, unless I want to use a pirated version of Windows. (ew) And my room in the basement doesn't have phone jacks or power cords either, and that should also come Wednesday or Thursday. This move has been absolutely wonderful to me, can't you tell?

If you are running on a platform moving forward does this max speed apply? And do you also retain your higher than running speed by jumping in this manner?

No, I'm not doing TASes on the library computers. Which is why this hasn't progressed, though I'm supposed to get internet at my house Wednesday, so I should get back to work then.

However, don't the rerecording emulators we use automatically calculate and store the checksums in the movie files? I know FCEU, snes9x, and VBA do...

(Disclaimer: I haven't watched the run) Did you see if walking in an odd direction (such as diagonally or backwards, or jumping or something) speeds up movement in FPS mode?

I wasn't sure anyone was interested. I'll work on this in tandem with my DK run then. Again, I'm still moving, and my computer isn't set up yet. I'm on a library computer.

I'm in the process of moving. This is my first priority once I get done.

He's a speedrunner, not a TASer.

Bowyer fight last round, you attack with Mario for 18, then with Mallow for 18, Mallow did 36 in that fight before, why not just attack with Mallow? Knife Guy and Grate Guy, you used a Power Boost, but you didn't once do a physical attack. Booster Hill Course, you seem to miss Booster by so little so many times, the barrels and understandably unavoidable, but perhaps if you waited longer to jump on the snifits.... Why didn't you Lucky Jewel the Cake? Why did you Power Boost on the Squid? You didn't use any physical attacks. Why didn't you Lucky Jewel the Squid? Why didn't you use Lucky Jewel on Yaridovich? How did you get the Lucky from the Shogun that quickly? Does an Ultra Jump do more attack power? On Machine Made Yaridovich, why did you stop the Ultra Jump? Why the Defense in the first Hammar Battle? Couldn't you have finished the Manager off with the first Rock Candy if you let Mario jump a bit longer? (Would it have been faster?) Same with the Director... You seem to be able to load the damage on best when he's a Treasure chest, any way to manipulate this more often?
