Krithalith | SM64 TAS - CCM100 slide section -3f + short explanation @Krithalith | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 5 hours ago
Not very impressive looking for how much time this took to find :p. Together with the 14f improvement to the first section of this star found by Frameperfection and myself, the full CCM100 + penguin race star has now been improved by 17 frames relative to the 2021 Eru-Plush TAS.

Slower but maybe a little bit easier. It has a 2 switch setup for a firsty or 2nd frame GWK (shown in video), and both of those have a frame of leeway on the second GWK bonk as well. It also has third and fourth GWK frame setups, which have three switches, but you lose the frame of leeway on the second GWK. It also supports undercrawl (1f crawl + another 1f crawl) for pretty much all setups except some very rare 5 switches which youre never gonna use anyway.

TLDR -1f to tree, -3f post tree.
While the elevator cycle makes it seem like its not possible to get to the tree faster, you can still improve it because the final couple frames of the last elevator BLJ have a ySpd higher than 10 (speed of the elevator). Compared to Plush you have to get to the elevator 2f faster to save 1f, and 5f faster to save 2f (and this would truly be maxed without other tricks). Naturally I saved 4f and spent several days failing to get 5, so in the end I only got -1f to the tree.
The part after the tree is much more interesting. Scattershot uses an aerial slidekick and a slidekick slide to steep jump dive transition thats possible on steep surfaces (I had never considered this, might not ever have even seen this). This gives you much more ySpd and gets you on the island much faster, albeit a lot further from the star box. Luckily with a grind the greater distance is not a dealbreaker since the original run used backward movement (which was probably optimal that close to the box). In the end this saved 3f from the tree to star grab.
Towards the end I was also thinking about a PU route for this star (should have occured to me earlier), but I kind of doubt its possible since there is very little time to build up enough speed and perform the PU movement and overflow jump. I also figured if it were possible it would have been done already.
Note that the elevator save also saves 1f for Big Bob-omb on the Summit, I will upload a vid of this later so as not to overshadow this (much more interesting) run.")

Sometimes boring movement is better. Scattershot really shines in small sections with weird movement options. Scattershot used for finding a quicker longjump setup, brute force for maxing backwards speed and position on stair landing, BLJ and end done manually.")

Posted this in the discord about a week ago but thought it might be useful for it to be on YT as well. Ive been working on other PU strats but theyre still kind of undercooked / too hard to be useful. I might have to put a pin in them and focus on easier strats in the mean time.
@giboss informed me that BitFS actually lags a lot more on console, especially with the camera I used in my PU demo. Together we figured out that the best way to avoid lag is to use a sideways cam up until the end. For this new ending you hold right to get your angle to 16384, and then move your joystick down and press C-left twice to do the 180. The PU movement is the same and this will pop you out in the same spot as the original demo but saves around 1 whole second worth of lag. This doesnt only save time but also hopefully makes the quick BLJ section easier to deal with, both with and without using pause strats.

Slightly faster, marginally less consistent it seems. IL strat?
You lose the leeway on the second GWK for the only 2 switch setup that exists (second GWK must be firsty). Setup seems to be about .7 ish faster.
Shoutouts to Alexpalix for showing me that quick-ish setups from the bottom left corner (looking at the window from outside) can exist. Ive searched all corners now but Im sure a quick-ish setup could be found for bottom right at some point with different setup elements (so you go straight from LJ to the window, to ledgegrab, to setup). That might save another 2-3 seconds.
