SMB2J TAS 5-2 Framerule Save (Warpless Route)

First ever 5-2 TAS tie for Warpless! This saves 5 framerules (1.75 seconds) over WR and ties the L+R TAS in this level, meaning 5-2 has now been perfected by humans for both Any% and Warpless! The reason why devil's spell saves time here over simply entering the pipe at the end is because it skips the cutscene of Mario coming out of the pipe in second room. I got this 3 weeks ago but I'm only just now getting around to uploading it lol. Big shoutouts to KingOfJonnyBoy for finding the setups for clip + FPG and encouraging me to go for this!

The TAS should be proud to be tied with such a legend.

You're welcome. //Regards Mr_Sweed

[@ZTimeGamingYT]

I never thought that I would be so hyped for literal fractions of a second being saved, yet Niftski has pushed these games to their absolute limit so much that even fractions are the hypest things ever.

Bismuth and summoning salt: *Takes months of research to create speedrun detail video*
Niftski: *Breaks the record in his next video*

[@Amqzinq]

that happened with the human some of best video by summoning salt, if he would have waited a few months he could've had the perfect video there lol

[@desolatedsouls]

You can see how hard kosmic struggled by that while making his own documentary video lol

[@JustinGamesJG]

There's no way this man should be this good at video games

[@daringpuppy]

Its so satisfying the way to phase through the pipe!

Niftski in 2040: Omg I beat smb1
In 4:54.165 (faster than the TAS )While blindfolded while beating the TAS In Warpless by 28 frame rules while a tiger chases me while using mind control on the 4 records while getting 11x any% and warpless 11x world record all at the same time 😱

YOURE SO COOL BIGGEST FAN PLS AUTOGRAPH

[@fireyfan25]

Why don’t TASers just ask Niftski to do the easy parts?

[@magician531]

Why does devil's spell skip the animations ? The pipe is loaded and everything so why does this happen

[@electricpants8196]

ok it's like, hard to explain but basically there's a difference in how sideways pipes and vertical pipes work (at least, for overworld and underground levels--afaik it doesn't apply for castle levels).
basically, sideways pipes will play the cutscene of mario coming out of the pipe, while vertical pipes will just automatically spawn mario in the default room position (generally high up in the air for underground areas, to allow mario to fall down in the beginning of places like 1-2 or 4-2, but is at ground level for overworld levels).
you can actually notice this in 4-2 of smb1--when you do the wrong warp, you take a vertical pipe in an underground area, and mario just. spawns in, no cutscene.

[@magician531]

@@electricpants8196 okay, makes sense. While I knew the difference between vines and pipes, I didn't realize the difference between horizontal and vertical pipes. I need to go over the code again, but my assembly is so rusty.

Seeing a keyboard used to play Nintendo will always look and feel wrong to me.

[@raydarable]

So how many levels has RTA tied the TAS in now?

[@Niftski]

for 2j warpless not a ton, but still a decent amount

[@raydarable]

@@Niftski Thanks!

[@adeeladar8141]

I can do the clip, but how do I get D60?

[@Niftski]

it's a frame perfect 3/4 frame A press onto the pipe that sets you up for D60
