DOWN TO 27 A PRESSES
Pannenkoek, with the help of Tyler Kehne, just cut the ABC down by another A press, this time in Jolly Roger Bay. This is an improvement from one A press on this particular star.

That's great but what's after zero A press 100% runs of Super Mario 64? Zero B press? Zero inputs at all? Are we going to start seeing cartridge tilting being used to complete runs instead of relying on controller input?

Zero B press has been done? Or at least very close, there might be one or two. It's trivial in comparison. Same with Z button.
>Zero inputs
An interesting thought because if you die on a moving platform it offsets your spawn displacement. If it's a game over and you go back to the title screen and let it play the demo, Mario will move and spawn differently.

Usually, A button-less challenges depend heavily on the B button, and B/Z-button-less challenges depend on the joystick + the A button. There's very few cases where B and Z are needed, but that's only because he could use the A button in those challenges.
In reality, it will take a bloody while before we get any truly significant updates. Pannen said himself that he'll do a full 70-star run TAS once he can, because it's already possible. The only thing stopping him is the one A press in Bowser in the Fire Sea, and as long as he can't figure it out, we're not getting a full TAS.

Because it depends on the context of the button press. Basically you can buffer it between zones/levels, so while a certain star might need the A button to be held, it doesn't need it to be pressed, which means you can press it in another level that does require a push action.

You're right. I'm actually here to see Pannenkoek break the game so thoroughly that the fabric of reality is torn asunder, all for the sake of not pressing the A button. The "Henry" shit comes from the idiots who can't comprehend the pointless genius of what is being accomplished, sort of like supposed TAD fans who don't care about TempleOS and just want to say "CIA niggers glow in the dark" over and over again.

Because there's a bit more to it than just that, but that's what it boils down to. In Mario 64, Mario's position doesn't overflow but the position to check his collision does, so you have invisible clones of the collision of the original map.
I guess you can call it collision overflow or something, but this isn't meant to be some super serious thing. These are a couple autists having fun doing what they love, so if they can come up with a cute name for something, they will.

The majority of TAS runs are marked as such. It's not meant to show off human skill, but rather limitations and boundaries of a game.
And speedrunfags have recently gone mental in their attempts to prevent potential cheating, after a few popular Super Meat Boy runs were proven to be false, to the point where most websites won't even accept runs that aren't done on direct capture.
1b49d3 No.14527851
Non speedrunning TAS is the only good thing to come out of speedrunning, and I wish it would adopt a new name that reflects that.
Speedrunning and its community is absolutely ridiculous, and any good tool assisted play is to show off what can be done to a developer's code when a player pushes their engine and design to the limit. It's a creative and entertaining exercise and completely unlike the arbitrary finger muscle-memory 'sport' of speedrunning.The vast majority of speedrunners should all go outside and compete in a real contest, since anyone who seriously wants to get a record in a video game to prove their worth is a joke. 'Speedruns' are only acceptable as a personal challenge to yourself that you do for fun because you enjoy a game and want to impose a different sort of challenge as you replay it, yet so many people are doing it for purely social reasons (or at best due to having some degree of a compulsivity disorder).

Speedrunning would be interesting in games where you quickly need to adapt to shit being thrown at you, and plan advanced strategies on the fly. However, the "best" speedruns strategies make it as "safe" as possible, with everything going exactly the same every playthough.

yeah, most TAS i watch aren't even speedrunning since they purposely lose time to show off some techs that's too risky/impossible for rta.
the majority of speedrunners are just too salty to admit that TAS is a different category altogether so they just dismiss it completely as cheating and unskilled when the mechanics and effort required to pull it off goes over hundreds of hours since most TASers strive for perfection or what can be perceived as such.
doesn't help that most TASers aren't even trying to compete against speedrunners since TAS is always on the title or description.
1b49d3 No.14528006
>>14527889
Maybe it's just a kneejerk reaction, but a lot of TAS used for actual speedrunning is extremely derivative and suffers from the same problems that regular speedrunning does, in a way actually manifesting the 'TAS is just cheats' meme. Still, it's kind of inevitable to have some sort of catalyst for progress and discovery of new ways to play with the mechanics, and to be fair to real time play, a lot of discoveries were made by people trying to break records.
>>14527909
That's true, speedrunning might be interesting for a true roguelike, but then there's no well defined goal to reach so something arbitrary would have to be set.
>>14527945
The term TAS still has an overwhelming presence even in non-speedrun related material. I guess in the end, speed is always a secondary goal to achieve, which partially justifies the term
>>14527970
The issue is that TAS is unskilled (at least for skill in terms of physical execution), but it doesn't intend to be because it doesn't take a piece of entertainment software as a place to show off your skill. Yet most speedrunners only care about how big their e-peen is and try to ruin any fun they can find so that their name can be at the top of some wiki or record book no one really cares about except for themselves.

Pressing, holding, and releasing are three separate actions. Pressing down is pressing down and isn't half a press just because you haven't released the button yet.
What happens if for the sake of argument he gets the run down to pressing the A button and holding it the entire run? Does that "half press" get rounded down to 0, or does logic win out, and the fact that the button was pressed down count as a full press?
Did I only half fire a gun because I kept the trigger held after I squeezed it?
b4471e No.14552105
>>14552098
This statement is correct.
The aspie's logic in the videos is that individual runs are only half a press because he is for some reason mixing up individual runs and entire runs to make an entire run out of individual levels. He's making up illogical rules so it looks like less presses than it actually is.
939ed2 No.14552110
>>14552098
It's 0.5 because you can round it either up or down, anon.
It's only rounded down to 0 in videos of one star being done in isolation, because it already counted as an A-press in a previous star somewhere. But it's noted as 0.5 just to make it clear that, yes, he is holding the button.
In a full game run, which is what this is all building up to, it's counted as one full press because you'll see the full A press.
In other words, 0.5 A press just means "I started this A press in an earlier star and that's where I counted it."
>>14552105
It's quite easy to set up the run in such a why, where he'll have to press A to get into a stage or at the very end of a stage, hold that out and do a 0.5 A press star then. Did he press A twice, then? Of course not, you dumbass.

Why not just count it as one press regardless of what part of the game it was pressed in? A press is the button being depressed by your finger. Holding it regardless of how long doesn't change this, and calling it a half press is retarded.

Is the problem that you faggots can't understand basic math or consequences of actions? If the button was pressed down, that is a press. Holding it doesn't count as part of the press at all. Holding it is just a separate action.

So you're saying that any star where A is only held should just be marked as 0 entirely? You can't do that, because A not needing to be held is an improvement from in needing to be held. Pannen recently improved six stars from 0.5 A presses to 0 A presses.

>No, it would still be 1, because the button was pressed one time.
Yes, it would be. However if the chart looks like.
STAR 1: 1 A PRESS
STAR 2: .5 A PRESS
STAR 3: .5 A PRESS
under your logic that would be 3 a presses, and if you did each star in isolation it would be.
However in a full run, it would be 1 a press, because they can just hold the button for star 2 and 3.

>So you're saying that any star where A is only held should just be marked as 0 entirely?
I'm saying that it should be counted as 1 press anytime you press the button regardless of what part of the game it was done in and that trying to slice it all up into individual stars so you can have holds be "half presses" when the button was indeed held is retarded. If holding the button between stars is acceptable continuity wise, then so is counting the press from the previous star. Otherwise the controller should be returned to a default state between every star if you want to accurately count the number of presses only for that star. That would however of course nullify this entire retarded "challenge."
>>14552165
>STAR 1: 1 A PRESS
Correct
>STAR 2: .5 A PRESS

False. The press was initiated for Star 1 and held for 2 and 3.

This would invalidate the full game run entirely.

Considering that the individual runs are really just being assembled for a full game run, your logic is retarded. The problem is that this is a collaboration between four or five people inventing new strategies on the fly in an attempt to compile this.

It's not "half," it's 0.5, as opposed to 0 or 1. Since you enter the stage already holding A, the only numerical way to unambiguously represent it is to use 0.5.
8741a4 No.14555361
>>14555345
No, the only numerical way to represent it is 0, because it isn't being pressed again yet. You have 1 for the press, and 0 for the hold, because the button has not left the "press" state.
3bf058 No.14556071
>>14555361
>>14555361
And now, with your suggested notation, indicating the required usage of an A input becomes impossible to do unambiguously. When trying to improve a level, you'll need to know if you need to press the A button (1), hold the A button (0.5), or not touch the button at all during the level (0). Eliminating a single (1) with your notation would cause a confusing situation where the next (0) suddenly becomes a (1), due to it really being a (0.5), which requires an earlier A press. It's just a tool for bookkeeping.

If you want to go down this road, then you'd have to concede that no run is ever above 0 A presses. The console doesn't "send" the input. The console reads it at specific intervals. The console may decide not to read buttons at any time, so it follows that the agency of the button being pressed rests on the console, not on the controller (and by extension,the player)
<Every time the N64 controller data needs to be read, the console sends out a 9-bit polling request. The controller responds in turn with a 32-bit sequence informing the console of the status of all the buttons and joysticks.
