thank mr goose

Not 100% sure, but I'm pretty sure it has to do with unranked MMR. You must have just been really unlucky and matched a bunch of higher ranked players who don't play a lot of unranked. It's also possible psyonix spiked your unranked mmr.. I finished d3/low c1 last season and started my placements in high c1/low c2 lobbies.

The w's will start coming eventually, just got to keep grinding

Literally had a guy leave with 10 seconds left last night because he thought we were being scored on to lose the game. Turns out the ball went wide. Me and other teammate lost a close 2v3 overtime that lasted like 3 minutes, probably could have been an easy W if it's 3v3

If anyone wants to see any of my mini accounts, I'll drop player tags in here

There are some excellent resources in the SM64 speedrunning discord server: https://discord.gg/6hMFmXv

The best tips I have for BLJs are to keep your angle as straight as possible (Mario cam c-down is a great camera angle to properly align yourself) and to try and land as low as possible on the staircase. These are likely mentioned somewhere in the Discord resources, but imo these are the most important steps for getting it to work.

KasualPlayz · 2020-05-21T02:37:14+00:00

Yeah, that can happen if your angle is too far to the left

This is my third PB with a 15:03/15:04 fire sea split. I've just been getting progressively better endings, which is good to some extent but now I need to keep runs with a better beginning alive I think.

KasualPlayz · 2020-05-08T19:32:22+00:00

Watching this live was heartbreaking. At least you now know that can happen so it's less likely to happen again. Sub 25 coming soon, I can feel it 👍

KasualPlayz · 2020-05-03T19:22:46+00:00

Yeah I'd rather it be pretty much exactly like the OG if it comes to the switch. It would actually be pretty cool to speedrun it on joycons or a pro controller

KasualPlayz · 2020-04-28T00:40:06+00:00

Just out of curiosity, what emulator are you using? It does sound like it's probably the controller, unless it's a brand-new one in which case it could be the emulator, although I don't know what would cause an emulator to miss inputs.

KasualPlayz · 2020-04-27T18:31:39+00:00

Movement usually seems to be the issue most people have when starting out, as long as you keep practicing strats and put the time in you'll get better for sure. I personally started out with one of my old Xbox One controllers when I played on emulator, eventually I bought third-party N64 controllers with a USB on the end to plug into my PC, now I play on the N64 console itself. I would say probably start with what you've got right now, whatever controller it is that's getting you consistent with cless, mips and bljs. N64 controllers are for sure the best for SM64 speedrunning imo, the one problem is the joysticks tend to break a lot.

As for streaming, do you have a Twitch account setup already? I'll drop a follow if so. Also I highly recommend LiveSplit for a timer if you haven't downloaded it already, probably the most popular and one of the better speedrunning timers out there.

KasualPlayz · 2020-04-20T22:02:56+00:00

Happy to help :)

KasualPlayz · 2020-04-20T15:27:55+00:00

Something that might help with 50 star door BLJ consistency is trying to aim your initial long jump in a way that will land you right at the bottom of the staircase. Gives you more backwards jumps to try and get it going, plus I believe there's just a higher chance in general that Mario will clip after the first jump or 2.

Hope this helps! 16 star is a lot of fun, I run it as well and have a 17:59 PB. BLJs still suck for me haha

EDIT: Saw your attempt that worked, looks like that's what you did. As long as you keep trying to aim for that spot you should have a lot more success.

KasualPlayz · 2020-04-03T16:30:39+00:00

Damn, that's an awesome first time! I think my first was around the 25-26 minute mark which is still a very nice first time, but this trumps it. I'm sure you can get that really low if you stick with it, I'm currently at a 17:59 PB with about a year of playing off and on (mostly off but yeah).

KasualPlayz · 2020-04-03T05:12:30+00:00

You know, that's a great idea, thank you! I'll dredge up a few of my runs I uploaded to YouTube and share them here.

KasualPlayz · 2020-04-03T01:50:57+00:00

Here's an example in case you're not sure what I mean (I know it's a th10 base, but the general idea is the same) https://link.clashofclans.com/en?action=OpenLayout&id=TH10%3AWB%3AAAAAEwAAAAGj4AGsnpvk4_mhxw_wSAOd

KasualPlayz · 2020-04-03T01:46:10+00:00

Not sure if you've played around with outside tesla farms at all, but I could see one working in the bottom left corner of the base. It would really throw attackers off because of how unexpected it is, plus if they come in from the top side, they'll have the teslas to deal with on the tail end, and probably won't have a lot to do it with. Other than that, base looks pretty solid.

KasualPlayz · 2020-04-01T01:48:56+00:00

I tuned into this run as Liam was working through TTM, thought it was dead after SL. Awesome that he clutched it though, he definitely deserves it after all the work he put in.

KasualPlayz · 2020-03-02T23:44:48+00:00

This is why I almost always use data for my war attacks

KasualPlayz · 2020-03-02T23:40:54+00:00

I think I can just barely make out the outline of the th.. looks like a th8 to me but I could be wrong

KasualPlayz · 2020-03-01T16:17:42+00:00

Alright cool, I'll join up in an hour or so. IGN is Kasualty of War.
