skid longer on japanese
07/18/04 at 12:33:33

the skid ends by 0'00''64 on US version, 0'02"04 on Pal version, and 0'01"70 on Japanese version. but, 1/10 times or so, the skid will end on the previous frame or end on the frame after (i used save states and took about 100 screens). i'm not concerned with a "01 variation, though.

does the skid have to do with anything? i don't know. the speed, turning, red shell physics, feather height, and star length of the Japanese and US versions are the same. i don't know how to do the advanced boosting techniques, but i'm wondering if masakazu or someone else can try them on the US rom (try to make a fast f-lap on either mc1, vl2, rr, etc.)

XVID format videos do work on the the Divx Player. I've tested that before with no problems. It doesn't seem to work with Windows Media Player though.

No problem. Actually, the file does work on Windows Media Player. Nevermind about that. Anyway, I did watch the video itself and I know what you're talking about now. From what I gather, the differences in the skids can make a big difference, if it really is. I knew that the PAL version longer skids before. But, I didn't know that the the Japanese version had long slides like that before. Since the slides are that long, that could be why they're so good at doing the boosts. That's my input.

I think most SNES games are like that, except for minor graphical changes So, the only difference in SMK that we know of now is the skidding, I think.
