Are you, like, really this stupid? How the fuck are you getting this impression from his post? Either you didn't read his post properly, or you lack the ability to understand  

Wow, that escalated quickly.  

Much butthurt, very moron, wow.


My post wasn't even arrogant or alluding to me knowing everything, more about your stupidity given this stuff was realised in 2008. You think diagonal directions give some magic boost formula? Or maybe it's just a convenient way of locking in some amount of turn, such that you get fast MT charge without turning as sharply as possible. It's not just that, but then you go & slate the TASers as if they don't know what they're doing, even though they experiment with the absolute details of the game.  

I just wonder how you get semi-decent times without even knowing what is going on in the game you're playing.

First, doge meme?

Second, no.  However, it does get MT's out quickly without drifting as sharply as possible.


Even if I'm wrong on all the definitions and all encompassing details of every tech in the game, regardless if it was realized in 2010, 2009, or 2008, it doesn't matter, as I'm learning them now.  This game is very complex, Tim.  You mock me for not knowing "what's going on in the game" yet there's still ton to be learned that has been realized by not a single person in the known universe.  Do you realize how foolishly arrogant that sounds?  Or do you really think everything in this game is already known?  

As for slating TASers, I did no such thing in regards to softdrifting.  All I said was I didn't see any of it, and since I didn't know all the details about it, I truly didn't see any softdrifting at the time.  I may have slated in terms of the lines being non optimal, but those are true statements.  Regardless, this is the attitude that promotes progress.  Sitting back and seeing this on the comments page is absolutely no good. Unless, of course, you think this TAS is 100% perfect.  But I guarantee you it will be improved someday; likely within 4 years (might seem like a while but activity is dying down).

Not only did I admit to not knowing the full spectrum of knowledge on the term, I asked for forgiveness on my ignorance of the subject.  And still, your only argument is to batter me on this?  

And also, TASers and players often have very different perspectives on the game.  For example, someone like Shaun Tanney might know the ideal lines of a track, but might not be able to properly enter the inputs or in other ways enhance/optimize the run with advanced techs almost exclusive to TASing (i.e., holding the analog stick 3/7th to the left to softdrift). So don't expect a good player to know everything about the game if they haven't TASed, and don't expect a TASer to know everything about the game if they haven't actually set some good times themselves.  This is where collaboration comes in, my friend, and your annoying posts are only thwarting any progress with optimizing and learning about this game.  Take your sarcasm and banter elsewhere.

Funny, that link is to the comments on a different TAS.
The only thing I can think of that would yield a significant improvement on the MMM TAS is using wheel. This would allow a full drift, while holding up completely in the air after the blue ramp. This could reduce the airtime by maybe a frame at most, however, reducing the airtime by one frame is not the same as saving a frame, due to obvious reasons.

I don't mean just the horizontal alignment to the ramp. I mostly mean forward alignment.
The location of Funky is not some fixed position each lap. On Bowser Bike, he travels 96 units per frame, but that doesn't mean that you can't be some number less than 96 units away from an object. Well in this case, there is a specific number of units Funky needs to be from the base of the ramp to make the ramp fully optimized. Since this number is specific, any number of units higher or lower from the ramp will be unoptimized, thus we will lose time. To compensate for this, certain lines were intentionally taken wide to get us to the right distance from the ramp. Also, even if some lines were taken unintentionally wide, it wouldn't matter, I highly doubt we lost a whole frame before each lap's blue ramp (we have to lose or gain a whole frame before the blue ramp to actually lose/gain time). You even said yourself that we only lost .003 from lines...

Just wondering (probably being dumb here) but is it possible to get a small clip off of the tree and then do the glitch so you don't actually hit the offroad?

Would probably require 2 shrooms.

Is it possible that magikruiser could be viable?

Could a miniturbo work for the second half of the shortcut ? It should be chargeable at least if you lean the bike a bit backwards.

The best way I can think of is getting a clip high enough to land straight onto the track. I believe Sam has been trying this. You could also use the mushroom as good as immediately using this method.

probably faster with kcl edits

You wont know until you've tried it. Same goes for rBC
