Krithalith | Low-res Cavern of the Metal Cap Searches + accidental TAS improvement @Krithalith | Uploaded 1 month ago | Updated 3 hours ago
Another more classical type of scattershot search, where I search a whole stage at once at low resolution with no restrictions. This gives a truly broad and unbiased search, with the caveat that the results may not be very optimized and precise strategies might be missed. This time I selected CotMC reds. A number of low resolution searches were performed, and some of the fastest / most interesting runs are shown.
For reference the Singlestar Record is 20.57 (TAS-timing) / 19.73 IGT by Kyman (youtube.com/watch?v=Q6vhkghIafs) and the TAS time is 19.67 (TAS-timing) / 18.83 IGT by Alex, Plush, and Crackhex (youtu.be/xxxLn5LJbxM).

Scattershot managed to find new strats for both PSS stars. I actually came up with the pillar strat myself though since there are a lot of SBC strats that are very close and scattershot overlooked the pillar at first.

I cant believe I forgot to mention this but you need to be in lakitu - fixed cam mode before you start. Also the lakitu cam doesnt need to be the far cam necessarily, everything works the same for close / regular lakitu cam.
Saves up to 10+ seconds compared to Circums human theory TAS depending on execution. I hope this can be consistent / fast enough to be useful.
