In this video, I'll be explaining exactly what I do to beat PizzaScare in 0.5 A presses. But first, we need to clear something up. Because every time I post a half A press video, I get the same comments over and over asking what it means, even though I always have a whole paragraph in the description explaining it, which even starts with 'If you're wondering what a half A press is, read this before commenting to ask'. But maybe what you guys need isn't a paragraph. Maybe you guys need an example. So, consider jumping over a gap with 3 platforms with the middle one lower and with a cheese slime on it, which is a necessary part of beating Pizza Tower. So, how many A presses does it take to get there? Well, if you say zero, that's wrong, because then The Noise can't go far enough. If you say one, well, it's true that The Noise can get there with one, but we can do a little better. We can do it in half an A press. To do that, we start the section already holding A, and then we use that A press to reach the platform. Now hold on. I know what you're thinking - 'an a press is an a press. you can't say it's only a half’ - well, Pin "Pan" Paint, hear me out. An A press actually has three parts to it: when A is pressed, when A is held, and when A is released. And together, this forms one complete A press. Now usually, it's the pressing that's useful, because that's the only part that makes The Noise jump. However, sometimes it's sufficient to just use the holding part, which allows The Noise to bounce off enemies higher, and Jump-Dash Canceling a Super Jump. And as for the release... well, there's currently no cases where that's useful or important, so don't worry about that part. Now if we map out the required A presses for the example platforms, it would look like this. We merely need to hold A to reach the third platform. So, how many A presses is that total? Well, it appears to be one. And if we were doing this section in isolation, then yeah, it would be one. But in a full-game A button challenge run, there are other A presses that occur earlier in the run, such as this A press needed to get onto the first platform. So, if we take that A press into consideration as well, then how many A presses would it take? The naive answer would be two, one to get on the first platform and the one to get to the other side. However, we can do better. We can actually do it in one by simply holding out the first A press to be used for the half A press, because the half A press only required A to be held, not actually pressed. So in this fashion, this section only adds one additional A press to the run, since the first A press just leeches off of a previous A press. So to capture this phenomenon, we call this 1.5 A presses. On a single-section basis, you’d round that up to 2. But in a full-game run, you’d round it down one. So in conclusion, since that first A press counts in some contexts but adds no additional A presses in other contexts, we refer to it as a half A press. So, going back to the video...

Hey, I recognize that voice, this is the guy who did the voice of The Noise in a pizza tower music video, if I remember correctly...
