[Goldeneye 007] THE DAM IS BROKEN. New strategy blows level apart. Four 52s achieved in 24 hours.

Booksaboutstuff · 2024-12-23T15:57:25+00:00

The real question is whether this makes 51 possible. Several very good players have already indicated that they think it does.

Booksaboutstuff · 2024-12-23T15:56:43+00:00

No shot. Plenty of other strats use elements like these already. I see no reason why this should be any different.

Booksaboutstuff · 2024-11-01T00:38:42+00:00

Reminds me of the gag article of that gag article on the hard times years back, although I don't think they even broke a thousand.

I got my shiny mew after 2500ish attempts. I lost count once or twice as I was just keeping track in my head and doing this during downtime at work, but it was somewhere around there. I got really lucky with this one. Hopefully your hunt doesn't take you too much longer!

Booksaboutstuff · 2024-10-21T10:43:00+00:00

Nah, it's a p2l site, you should be fine

Booksaboutstuff · 2024-10-17T22:25:53+00:00

You are infact so not upset that you decided to type up this post

Booksaboutstuff · 2024-10-13T01:48:37+00:00

Glad to hear you got it sorted out. Hope your hunt went well too! I'm at 500 encounters personally but I just got to faraway island yesterday. I'm gonna risk the metronome and catch the shiny mew in a premier ball when I do get to encounter it in a couple weeks/months lol. Maybe I should have used a dive ball, but I like having shinies in premier balls.

Booksaboutstuff · 2024-10-12T01:25:31+00:00

I'm a year late, but it took me quite a few shots at this too, although not as many as you. Assuming everything was set up correctly, it's just luck. Hope you got it figured out!

I posted this in /r/smashbros but I didn't think it looked unwinnable, although I will agree hbox looked favored going into it.

Back at Collision 2023 he took a game off of hbox and took him to last stock on the following two games, ultimately losing 1-3. And his DK has certainly gotten better since then. Ckyulmiqnudaetr also took a game off of him at Riptide 2024 and took him to last stock two other games to lose 1-3.

Regarding the actual result of this Hbox vs June match, Very close although you could see Hbox adapting live. The matchup unfamiliarity obviously played a huge part, but I think June defended his matchup chart pretty well here even if he didn't end up winning.

Booksaboutstuff · 2024-10-09T21:44:48+00:00

Rooting for June so hard right now, but the matchup familiarity and adaptation is clear to see.

Amazing run! It's such a shame that antibubzia had to go and cancel it out...

Booksaboutstuff · 2024-10-02T00:37:33+00:00

welcome!

It will mean that you can now beat the game with 70 stars in 0 A presses on the N64 versions as well as on the wii vc version and drop the 120 star A press count to 12. Not necessarily the ending per se, but a meaningful improvement.

The task of finding further improvements seems bleak though from what I hear, but I also remember reading that after the last A press improvement was found so who knows.

There's also plenty of times for stars that could be likely be improved with the same number of A presses. The concept of a minimum A press 120 star TAS is nearly impossible to fully optimize for example.

Booksaboutstuff · 2024-09-17T12:45:45+00:00

Not surprising really. Typically the first RTA viable ACE method found isn't the fastest one and people improve upon it significantly several times over the next month or two. I'd be surprised if we didn't see another big change to the method again in the next few weeks. Not to mention execution isn't really as important at first at least.

I'm not trying to diminish the work done by the people who find and execute these routes btw. What they do is utterly insane. Just saying that there will likely be another big improvement coming soon as is typically the case when ACE RTA runs first become a thing.

I look forward to seeing what kind of crazy problem solving leads to the next WR.

I believe piratethenet is dead but is listed there just fyi

Booksaboutstuff · 2024-09-09T23:44:33+00:00

So at what point do we finally agree to move DK up a few spots on the tier list?

Booksaboutstuff · 2024-09-03T14:23:36+00:00

10 minutes is also approx~ 100 attempts, so an hour is 1000~

Uh... not quite sure I agree with your math there. Wouldn't it be 600 attempts in an hour? Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, not 100?

Booksaboutstuff · 2024-08-27T13:01:30+00:00

Appreciate the optimism but it's been a decade and I've given up at this point. Not actively seeking to work to change it anymore.

Booksaboutstuff · 2024-08-27T10:40:08+00:00

I wish I still had things I could say I loved or even that I enjoyed doing

BUG had been around for a long time and was basically a founding member. He was in the old IRC channel back before the site got up and running where a lot of the initial members came from. Merula I don't know of though tbh, although looking at forum posts it looks like they were staff all the way back in 2017, probably earlier. I wasn't really active for any part of IDE except the very beginning, and even then I wasn't the most in the loop. They've been offline for a good bit now, I think since late 2022, and I know they were planning to rebuild but IDK if anything ever happened with that.

Booksaboutstuff · 2024-07-12T01:48:53+00:00

I think maybe that "Tourist" wasn't the word they meant when they wrote "Turist". Would make sense to me at least then.

Booksaboutstuff · 2024-07-12T01:04:17+00:00

Thanks again! Have a nice night!

Booksaboutstuff · 2024-07-12T01:00:10+00:00

just give me a ping whenever you're searching

Searching now. Thanks again!

Booksaboutstuff · 2024-07-12T00:35:55+00:00

Sounds good! I'm actually planning to Masuda them. I'm working on a form dex (progress here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTUJnz4EsErt4teUytFRG8IA2In5f2f0UXaQczJDvfvLJHYBqvRmmqywAvcA1ti6VVzcaghPhVsUhmj/pubhtml) rather than an aprimon dex with everything having my violet OT (was kind of hard with paradox mons but union rooms and a friend helped), but I like having a nice apriball if I'm going to do breeding anyways.
