SM64 - Watch for Rolling Rocks - 0.5x A Presses (Commentated) [OUTDATED]

  • THIS VIDEO IS OUTDATED - SEE A BETTER VERSION OF THIS VIDEO HERE:
    • HMC Watch for Rolling ...
    I collect the star Watch for Rolling Rocks in Hazy Maze Cave using 0.5 A presses. The A press is to perform AB kicks on the rising elevators. Without doing these kicks, Mario would go through the elevator, and so there'd be no way to navigate out of the lake area with QPU speed. For the record, this is TAS.
    This video is an improvement from my previous video in which I collected this star in 1 A press. You can find that video here: • SM64 - Watch for Rolli... . Since then, we discovered PU movement and scuttlebug raising, which made this strat possible.
    For convenience, here are the informative parts of the video:
    0:35 for half A presses
    3:44 for scuttlebug transportation
    5:01 for scuttlebug raising
    8:07 for hyper speed walking (HSWing)
    10:40 for parallel universes (PUs)
    Here is a play by play of what I do. First, I use scuttlebug transportation to move a scuttlebug to the corner of the Watch for Rolling Rocks platform. Then, I use scuttlebug raising to raise him to about the height of the platform. Next, I use hyper speed walking to generate massive speed. Finally, I use PU movement to navigate to the top of the course, launch to the scuttlebug to bounce on him, and ground pound in the misalignment of the platform to get onto it. And from there, I collect the star.
    If you want to see my workspace/calculations and read about the process of TASing this, I've chronicled it here: imgur.com/gallery/rK24p
    .m64 stats:
    Length: 13 hours and 49.5 minutes
    Re-records: 6824
    Frames: 2986271 (1493100 input)
    This video is without a doubt the one that I've put the most time into out of all my videos. I knew this going in, and so I decided to keep a log of how much time I spent on each aspect of it (note: if my computer was doing work like compiling/recording and I could let it be, I didn't count that time). Here are the stats:
    Time to TAS: 12 hours
    Time to record/manage raw avis: 9 hours
    Time to create uncommentated version: 31 hours
    Time to add visuals/commentary: 75 hours
    Update: The PU route used in this video actually crashes on console, as it turns out PU crashes can still occur even when locking the camera in the main map. Nevertheless, an alternate route has been found that avoids these PU crashes and has been console verified: • HMC Watch for Rolling ...

      This makes me wonder how often challenges like this are done in math/physics academia? Like are there challenges out there to solve some simple known problems without the use of common methods of solving it? I know a lot has been learned about Mario 64 due to the A button challenge, and recently the Ice Climbers' break the target record was lowered substantially due to a discovery during a restricted challenge competition. These kinds of challenges really force you to think about things in a different way and stumble upon new and exciting things.

      ​​@@antkiller7537Now let us call that point for an individual their brain-shutting point _ξ_ and start extensive studies over it.
      To solve for an individual's _ξ,_ we must find the limit for the function 𝑓: ℝ→ℝ, 𝑓(𝑥)= 𝑥 as 𝑥 approaches 0, and where 𝑥 is the brain's capacity to work under normal circumstances.
      We can assume the limit is 0, but to prove that rigorously let us use the ε-δ method:
      Let ε > 0. We must prove that |𝑓(𝑥) - 𝑓(0)| < ε holds for some value of δ, as 0 < |𝑥 - 0| < δ. Suppose we pick δ = ε. Then |𝑓(𝑥) - 𝑓(0)| = |𝑥 - 0| < δ = ε and the statement has been found to be true.
      Now that we know the limit as 𝑥 approaches 0 is 0, we can use Newron's second law of Brain Capacity, which states _ξ_ = _m_ + _a,_ where _a_ is the point at which the individual's brains collapse to a singularity (the limit we just proved) and _m_ is the amount of brainpower needed to lose after the brain-shutting point to reach _a._ Empirically it has been shown that _m_ can accurately be calculated with _m_ = 𝐿/4 where 𝐿 is a value in the interval [0.8, 1.2] that has to be measured separately for every individual, because it represents the individual differences in brain function. On average it has been shown _L_ = 1, so for the layman it can be said _ξ_ = 1/4 + a, so _ξ_ = 1/4 + 0 = 1/4.
      _I sure hope you don't reach your brain-shutting point reading this._

I remember I would constantly see comments about something that was addressed in the description, and there would almost always be someone who already told them to read the description.
      Now it's, as you said, a dumping ground for social media links. Also, TH-cam's page layout obfuscates the fact that the description even exists. You have to click on that tiny "...more" that's slightly darker than the rest of the text around it. If it's a video about a video game, it's above that TH-cam gaming stuff. It throws me off, and I'm active looking for it.

  • @higanbanana
    @higanbanana 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +112

    after the success of this video, pannenkoek released a statement on why he didn't want to keep making commentated videos in this style, and one of the key reasons given was that, since the ABC route is constantly being improved, any video made on a strategy currently being used would almost invariably become obsolete, and the time and effort put into making a commentated video would be significantly lessened in value
    well, today it finally happened, just as pannenkoek said it would. a new strat has been developed for this star that almost completely invalidates everything shown in this video. PU movement isn't utilised at all, meaning that everything from around 8 minutes and onward in this video is now irrelevant to how the star is obtained. the scuttlebug raising is different, meaning that the reason for doing it the way as shown and explained in the video is also no longer true. the star isn't even x0.5A anymore - it's x0A now, so not even the explanation of what half an a press is is really relevant
    the new strat is great btw, and you should definitely check it out on pannenkoek's second channel, but yeah. while this video still has entertainment value in its own right, almost nothing said in this video is relevant to how this star is collected now

      Though it won't come up in formal high competition ever again, if you yourself can learn the specific trick of Watch for Rolling Rocks in 0.5 A Presses through QPU alignment and Scuttlebug Raising, it makes you as cool as Josh Brolin putting on a performance as Thanos the Mad Titan.
      Thanos isn't the most interesting character anymore but that ONE storyline was so Epic that respect and street cred can be gained for collecting the Infinity Stones yourself even if Infinity Stones arent the best plan anymore. :)

      Games can be fun but shouldn't be everything. Have you ever lied even once, stolen anything, used God’s name in vain, looked with lust or worse sexual sins? Then you’re not a good person in God’s eyes and in danger of the judgement of God which will send you to hell (a terrible place of pain and sadness FOREVER & EVER & EVER & EVER….). Remember God is the Holiest such that one small lie will induce his severe wrath. Good news is Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead so that you may receive forgiveness of AALL YOUR SINS (No matter how bad or how many). But you aren’t forgiven unless you REPENT OF YOUR SINS & BELIEVE IN JESUS AS YOUR GOD (repentance means turning from sin and doing your absolute best not to do it again, also ask Jesus to rid you of addictions that you’re struggling to shake away-James 4:7). God has blessed us with Great food to eat (kings in the past don’t eat like we do today), shelter, freedoms, fun, medicine, pets to enjoy their company, friends, nice music to listen to and many more things to enjoy. Yet we don’t give him thanks, blaspheme his HOLY name etc God wants to give the free gift of eternal life (9999999999999999999999999… years of extreme happiness) but we need to humble ourselves and turn from our wicked way. Believe in Jesus (God wants to have a relationship with you-like a father and his children).

    I think part of the reason this went so viral is that pannen never mentions out loud in the video that it’s a TAS, just in the description, assuming that people who watched would understand that this was a TAS only sequence of tricks. But people started watching it who didn’t know about TAS, so they had the mental image of some guy with frame-perfect reaction time holding a n64 controller in front of a tv for 12 hours building up QPU de facto speed which is indeed a very funny mental image

    • @fearedjames
      @fearedjames 3 ปีที่แล้ว +98

      Visual animations help a lot. It also helps that he made up bullsit terminology that makes sense, a little bit like how many programming concepts are named after reductionist concepts that are completely unrelated.* If he just said that "Mario's position is just always being checked in the original area because how the code divides that way" and named each area a division and displayed it by just representing the current divisions, it'd make less sense to an everyman. Parralel universes are more enjoyable and engaging tho, and by placing a faded out version of the map in each grid, you get the idea, even if your actual knowledge may be too low to understand what is actually happening.
      * An example what I mean by programming concepts. A stack is a data structure where you insert information onto data, with each new bit of data representing the new access point and linking to the previous placed data. As there is no designation of an index, you cant read any information except the last placed information. You probably barely understood that. If I say its like stack of plates with each plate being a piece of data. You place each plate on top of the previous top one, and cant take out lower ones without pulling the plates one by one above it off first. That's far simplier.

      He may be uploading in one of the many PUs but because he misjudged his DeFacto speed he went over the 4 PU threshold and now is QPU misaligned to our standard view. You need the relative view to see his recent uploads.

    Came back to watch this again on a whim. I knew about the new method but it’s still surreal to see [Outdated] appended to the title of this masterpiece.

      The average human has about 100 billion brain cells, so gaining just 200 more is a 0.0000002% increase.
