I'm just curious, does all Super Mario 64 TAS runner uses controllers or their keyboards for TAS runs? I'm planning to try to practice the BLJ glitches myself but i also need help on the BLJ gitches. Like when Mario goes "yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" and such... what button you press and such? Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xL6VE_5PddM

You can perform very rudimentary BLJs without tool-assist. The idea behind it is to start the first long jump while holding back on the analog stick, and continue to do LJs while holding backwards. With tool-assist, you can vary the deflection of the analog stick and increase the speed at which you do the long jumps, as well as use memory watch and frame advance to find out where you'll end up. As far as whether or not the TASers use a controller or a keyboard, I can't answer that question.

TASers use a plugin that emulates analogue stick input. You use the mouse with it.

Where is a good place to practice the BLJs? And how do you use the mouth with it and everything? I know some basic BLJs but the BLJs in that video i posted are soo much different and complex then the BLJ i know...
