[TAS] Snowman's Big Head 0xA - 33.13

Shortly after my previous TAS ( • [TAS] Snowman's Big He... ), @ystem6836 implemented the C-Up slide as well as some more optimizations to shave off 4 seconds, with a final time of 37"37 (no video). I noticed his movement between the C-Up slide and getting the shell was improvable, but couldn't save time with it due to the fly guy's yvel cycle when moving toward the initial shell hyperspeed spot. After much testing, later that day I had the idea of going the other way with the shell (toward the green slopes area), and after TASing it and optimizing it, it turned out to be much faster, which makes sense since it provides many different altitudes to move between fly guy's zones and it is closer to our destination.
CORRECTION: at 1:33 I say "If fly guy's YVel reaches zero when it's not spinning however, it will stop lunging immediately"; this should be "If fly guy's YVel reaches zero when it's activated however, it will stop lunging immediately"
For this video, I decided to make some rough expository visuals since most of the interesting fly guy manip is happening when it is off-screen. The explanation texts are not 100% accurate since I just went by my empirical understanding of the mechanics involved.
You may have noticed that fly guy in its POV window moves in a different way toward the end compared to the regular view. This is because the camera hack I used causes RNG to desync due to the camera-dependent snow particles, so I had to manually search hundreds of RNG seeds for one that would still sync, and that's the first one I found, even though it has fly guy end up facing a slightly different angle at the end. Fly guy's stats are still reflective of the real TAS's though.

now I want to listen to a polished version of the shell theme at 50% speed

[@cameronduncan4801]

It’s very bossa-esque

[@ILwarntech]

That ending was so smooth wtf

[@fifdspence]

Wow! This is way faster than I expected this star to go. I'm in disbelief

[@lemon9bug]

Yeah, I didn't expected this star to end up so fast either, it's really cool

[@typhoonthunder]

the ending of this video got me good

[@cabiialt5897]

sick strat!
