Super Mario 64 Speedrunners are always on the lookout for speedrun tricks & skips to help them collect 16 Stars / 120 Stars as fast as possible. This speedrun trick was actually hidden in plain sight!

I always appreciate when you do these mini lore-style video about SM64's techniques that might not be so obvious for the audience. Also a good, fun way to document these things. Keep them coming!

How many people do you know in real life that get tens of thousands of views on every video they upload to RU-vid? How many people do you know in real life that get fewer than tens of thousands of views on every video they upload to RU-vid? How many people do you know in real life that have never uploaded a single video to RU-vid? How many of them actually exist, and for those that don't exist, what are any of them supposed to do to be able to actually exist?

Siglemic is the GOAT of sm64, nobody can change my mind. His times might not be the best anymore, but his talent was undeniable and his streams were an unforgettable experience. It'll never be 2012-2014

@DMMDestroyer Год назад

Thanks for explaining this, Simply. It shows how complex it is and how much further is still to go. Imagine watching a runner essentially doing a TAS for WR with frontflips.

@theguest103 Год назад

Wow..I found speed kicking on my own around the same time the speed running community did, in 2014. There were a lot of good romhacks releasing, and throughout gameplay, I kept getting weirdly long kicks while trying to start a triple jump chain..I realized that by holding a little away from neutral it was possible to conserve a lot of speed. I love how every time I play sm64, there's something new to learn about it's movement. I know so much about sm64 these days that it's hard to imagine anything new, but it's always something I've never considered before that surprises me.

@wesdogg_ Год назад

thanks for the quick history lesson! I don't know how you got old Siglemic footage to play so fluidly in slo-mo, but that looked amazing!

@lumensmith9787 Год назад

I love how one bit of knowledge turned speedkicks from a risky way to save tiny bits of time to a spacing technique that made a lot of strategies safer. It's like it turned from trick to tool.

@ericwallhagen3146 Год назад

@twig7219 Год назад

Cool vid. It would be cool to see a video for C-Up slide as well - it's really funny to me how a camera input can somehow be used for movement lol.

@Isosceles8818 Год назад

I appreciate this Simply. I got into 16 star 1.5 years ago and I haven't even attempted to mess around with speedkicks. It's nice to see it broken down like this. Holding neutral at the perfect time felt too punishing but knowing you can use ESS. I may need to play around with it a bit.

@bryanjordan8876 Год назад

can you explain to me what "neutral" is?

@Isosceles8818 Год назад

@@bryanjordan8876 Neutral is the dead center. Neutral means the stick isn't moving at all in any direction.

@slvcontentfwd Год назад

Was surprised to hear the direction changing on sideflips isn't popular, although to be fair I play casually on keyboard (with emulator obv) so it's probably WAY easier for me. I assume with an actual analog stick it's tough to get consistently.

Growing up me and my friends would do this all the time. I don't even understand how this wasn't used in speed running for so long. We didn't even do it for the purpose of speed running, just because doing the kick was fun to do.

@jkwalzo Год назад

Nice touch with the F-Zero music.

@iwersonsch5131 Год назад

Frontflips are quite consistent if you wait half a second until Mario starts moving in the other direction. That would of course make the move not worth it in most speedrun situations

@blueicewolf9131 7 месяцев назад

Sry for such a weird comment, but i think i found a route change in super mario 64 120 star, that's faster. I don't find the video of the Person, who had the idea. If you do LBLJ to Bowser 1, SBLJ to Bowser 2 and than BLJ through that one door to the upper Floor, you can do RR with Carpetless, TTC, CLOUD first, than Exit Course to get back to Basement and do the Run like usually. Someone calculated that if you do it that way, you save 1 min and 30 seconds, if i remember correctly. You already do the start of that in 0 and 1 Star Runs. I write here, cause you know more than me Simply and you are better at finding these videos. That was calculated with carpetless TAS only, before the viable carpetless strat was found.

Well it would make sense that the backward long jump glitch was known in 1996 for the rumble edition to have removed it.

@deanblanchard3816 Год назад

I don’t think it was technically discovered in 2010. I sorta learned about releasing the joystick during my jumps to perform a super jump, and to get into Bowser the fancy way (no stairs). My older cousins friend liked to show off, he was also part of a game club thing he had me believing were all elite gamers. He taught me a lot of neat stuff, and quirks. Edit: speed runners need to find mega nerds from the day and to get them to play showing off recording them.

@Xigbar0331 Год назад

Sm64sr evolves 🤘 makes me wonder if sm64 will ever get a frame perfect record like the classic 2d games have

@twig7219 Год назад

it will not. Even for the 2d games, SMB1 is a special case among them where a combination of framerules + very simple movement rules makes it possible to be frame perfect. SMB3 for instance has so many tiny optimizations that frame perfection will never happen. SM64 is so much harder than even that because perfect movement also requires stick angle + magnitude perfection in so many ways. The vast majority of single stars records don't even match TAS yet, let alone entire runs.

I, as a keyboard emulator SM64 speedrunner, can say that front flips are so much easier on keyboard. Speedkicks are harder because keyboard usually can't use ESS pos.

@johnm1008 Год назад

@josephharrison24 Год назад

I'm not a speedrunner by any means, but, I have been doing the front flip forever. Didn't know it was a speedrunner strat. Easy to pull off in my opinion.

@themrdoggo Год назад

A frontflip that would save significant time over what's currently done is frame perfect as far as I understand. You flick the stick backwards and then forward on subsequent frames. This is very difficult to do consistently, especially in the middle of other movement. Both because the angle is fairly precise if you want a good one, and because of the natural difficulty of flicking the stick like that. There's a much easier version, but it's not really used in runs because there's usually a faster option, where you have Mario go through the entire sideflip animation, then towards the end flick the stick forward and jump. This is very lenient and easy to do, but that sideflip animation usually loses time to just properly angling Mario or doing a triple jump.
