SSBM HRC: Bowser 7526.8 ft/2294.1 m (TAS) (WR) Bluekandy 2024-01-04 | This one's a doozy.PWR = 7087.8 ft/2160.3 m by mugg, 1/22/20 (youtube.com/watch?v=u9lOzIcwuyU)Some things to note:- slipoff positioning is incredibly tight, making phantom BD combos a nightmare to attempt. positioning example: I had an attempt with 132% after 3 dair combos, but on the 3rd combo, 4 hits of the dair went to the left instead of 3 hits as in this record. That made the 5th dair combo impossible to connect without losing nearly 2% on the bat drop positioning.- 2f left at the end to still get FCFS, but FCFS occurs with a 5 frame window of incremental power, i.e., -2f = 7501.7 ft, -1f = 7511.2 ft, +1f = 754x ft, +2f = 755x ft- phantom BD ideas: instant phantom on release = dair startup is too slow to incorporate real hit. 7% phantom = extremely close to working, but when I got it, bowser's height meant that dair did not instantly connect such that the real bat hit could occur—this might be possible by delaying slipoff rejump. 8%+ phantom = bat lands/falls below platform before real hit- phantom BD up b does over 50%, but might be a bit too slow and not good enough to replace the ending/two slipoff combos- 246% fail with phantom dair hit before slipoff, loses 4 frames to delay ff and I ran out of time at the end- bowser is hot---My Twitter is pretty cool :D I post most of my meteorological side there: twitter.com/bluekandywx (the "wx" is for weather)Thanks for watchin :)

SSBM HRC: Mario 6679.7 ft/2035.9 m (TAS) (WR) Bluekandy 2023-01-10 | PWR = 5794.8 ft/1766.2 m by Wak, 5/17/11 (youtube.com/watch?v=rNKyjgEgeDU)Thanks to PracticalTAS for helping me w/ Lua Dolphin! Thanks Typo for finding the first phantom's viability while doing RTA attempts lolMassive improvement and another character over 2 km! This was the hardest melee strat I've completed thus far for several reasons:- Manually completed 4 times; (1) finishing initial idea, couldn't pick up bat @ 322% fail. This was due to the last fair doing exactly 12.000% w/ pattern 2-4-6-8 in staling, whereas 11.9% would allow me to pick up the bat with 1 frame less hitstun(2) retrying initial strat for more time(3) revised strat to lower fair hitstun by 1 frame, but done on ft mode platform—this is slightly narrower than meters mode platform, so the bag fell off at the end(4) revised strat on meters mode—luckily I got the correct RNG first try, so Lua script ended up unnecessary; but, I was ready to wield it!- Spent time learning lua scripts to manage the RNG in this run, which is the bat disappearing during each shBDfair. Sandbag tumble animation w.r.t dair spacing also could be another instance of RNG if necessary to improve this run. Ideas for the future =)- Brainstorming methodology to pick up the bat. 322% before swing is possible if fair staled to 11.9% or lower instead of 12%. Mario performs an empty item pickup in the 12% case because the bat moves out of pickup radius on the next frame. The revised strat here eliminates one phantom BD setup early on to stale fair more—then, he can pick up the bat frame perfectly at the end due to the staled fair's reduced hitstun.Last frame swing.Played on NTSC-U w/ Japanese language option#ssbm #melee #mario #tas
SSBM HRC: Samus 6508.7 ft/1983.8 m (TAS) (WR) Bluekandy 2023-01-05 | New beginning :D Modified Typo's idea to work. Previous TAS WR by Wak, from October 2011: youtube.com/watch?v=XaaGdPnFnuAImprovements (+2%):- new beginning (+1%)—93% is possible with rjBDdair, but loses 3-4 frames. I opted to max BDs later instead- second BDdair maxing (+1%)- various BDdair maxing thereafter; however, I lose two aerial frames on the last BDdair due to the bag being upside down—I failed to realize it was upside down when I completed this strat at 6am! This leads to about 0.5%, so it's likely that 311% is possible here. I would rather find a new strategy :)Last frame swing.Played on NTSC-Uthrowback to SW's 2011 samus tas that has this super funky music.

SSBM HRC: Kirby 5088.7 ft/1551.0 m (TAS) (WR) Bluekandy 2022-10-23 | PWR = 4858.4 ft/1480.8 m by Wak, 12/14/11 (youtube.com/watch?v=sbC_78gqowI)Wak's strat. I tried some variations sacrificing dair hits to add another phantom BD @ 17x%, but these resulted in fails. I also tried phantom BTU-landing nair / phantom bair-BTU-BDSB, which gets up to 72-74%. Unfortunately it is about half a second slower than a string of two BD dairs, and probably moves the sandbag into a bad spot to continue with BD dair.Played on PAL60—Kirby's dair landing lag is reduced by 1f & platform is slightly higher resulting in further distancePause was so that I could act on a specific frame that was otherwise skipped due to the polling bug, which I didn't have the code on hand for PAL.Improvements (+7%):Landing hit phantom on all dairs (+4%)Full dair 37% combo @ 139-176% (+2%)Longer BD aerial time @ 176% (+0.5-1% overall, rng required on bat ground landing)1f remaining =) ---My Twitter is pretty cool :D I post most of my meteorological side there, plus streams when I go live: twitter.com/bluekandywx (the "wx" is for weather)#ssbm #melee #kirby

You start from a fresh savefile and have at it.City Folk in particular relies on a good map (procedurally generated, meaning billions of possibilities) for the chores segment at the start, then the proximity of Nook's to your house for farming axes.

Mario Golf: Super Rush All Original Courses Speedrun in 45:52 Bluekandy 2022-04-11 | [Outdated 5/3/22 - 45:49 by ddeeffgg] PWR = 46:01 by me || twitch.tv/bluekandyThis run uses the newly discovered second iteration fixed shift! Whatever algorithm Camelot put in to "randomize" accuracy actually isn't so random still—there are patterns, and they are discoverable! Restarting once from the first hole for the second iteration of the course seems to always introduce the algorithm's convergence to a local minimum single solution for accuracy, which manifests as a hardest left mishit for every teeshot, and a hardest right mishit for every second shot on EVERY hole. It costs 6 seconds to set up, but is well worth it on the two courses I use it on in this run! You'll see why :DIn addition, the first iteration of courses also has a set of patterns in shift that vary, and certain cues on some holes point to a range of possibilities on future holes for the teeshots in particular. This is still being explored as of this upload, but its depth and contribution to runs is very promising!Twitter: twitter.com/bluekandywx
116 Hour Speedrun Challenge in Kirby Air Ride City Trial (Max Stats on Different Vehicles) Bluekandy 2022-03-16 | Have you ever wondered how to optimally control your favorite vehicle in Kirby Air Ride? This video takes the Max Stats speedrun and challenge run one step further, using the slow tempo game mode to try to achieve max stats in one city with as many different vehicles as possible! The stipulation is that I must change vehicles in the first 60 seconds on the clock. How many can I get?Max Stats: Collect the maximum amount of all 9 power-ups ("stats") in one city. Picture example shown. 18 of all stats and 16 HP equals 160 total stats in one city.Slow Tempo: a native game option to play at 40 fps or 2/3 speed, which allows much greater control and reaction timing. This makes this challenge genuinely possible—I believe the majority of the vehicles here would be impossible or not worth pursuing in normal tempo!I did all of this while live on Twitch! twitch.tv/bluekandyTwitter: twitter.com/bluekandywxChapters:0:00 Introduction0:20 Vehicle 1 - Compact Star8:40 Vehicle 2 - Swerve Star19:42 Vehicle 3 - Jet Star29:37 Vehicle 4 - Turbo Star40:54 Vehicle 5 - Shadow Star50:30 Vehicle 6 - Warp Star1:01:15 Vehicle 7 - Wagon Star1:11:45 Vehicle 8 - Winged Star1:21:49 Vehicle 9 - Rocket Star1:32:37 Vehicle 10 - Slick Star1:43:36 Results

I went from knowing what every shot would do to knowing none of them as all shot accuracy in every version thereafter is completely randomized. Randomized accuracy happened with the v2.0.0 update on 8/6/2021, and has been that way since then. Before then, it was deterministic!The strategy changed significantly, as the optimal style of play became one of "risk mitigation," in which many times the red zone is avoided if possible. Riser shots were refined, as well as club switching speed with the dpad.Even with all of this in tow, I still made three total mistakes in this run (ridgerock 18, wildweather 9 and balmy 9), two of which were terrible RNG and one of which was a silly mistake on a putt. The old WR also had three total mistakes; however, I holed out once or twice more and was able to maintain that timesave overall. Only a few seconds were lost to changes in shot routing toward a risk mitigation tactic!Twitter: twitter.com/bluekandywxChapters:0:00 Bowser Highlands (-26)8:01 Rookie Course (-35)14:19 Ridgerock Lake (-23)22:10 Wildweather Woods (-21)30:23 Balmy Dunes (-22)38:23 Bonny Greens (-22)

I also wanted to use Diddy's banana toss into BTD, but he doesn't throw the banana if holding the bat (I don't know if this is an oversight, can't remember if it's the same way in other games).Twitch: twitch.tv/bluekandyTwitter: twitter.com/bluekandywx

I couldn't find a way to include phantom BDs, because in order to do so I have to be lower with each rejump after slipoff, which means less dair hits connect before landing. The strat fails when the landing dair hit connects since it has large lateral knockback, and you have to get enough dair hits before landing for the sandbag to be high enough such that that landing dair hit misses.

Thanks to Samplay for the beginning of this strat and theorycrafting during a very hype moment for the smash stadium crew lol. I wish I could help translate this over to something that is doable RTA, but progress has been made nonetheless!As for this strat, it's pretty tough to overcome bottlenecks everywhere for saving time. I could've ended with 4.38 or 4.40, but in each scenario I'm displaced further right due to the platform and the dair misses the top target. I'm amazed I even got this to work lmao.

118 Hour Speedrun Challenge in Kirby Air Ride City Trial (Rainbow Max Stats) Bluekandy 2021-09-19 | The completion/speedrun category of Max Stats is explained at the start of the video. Explanation in text:City Trial Max Stats: Collect the maximum amount for all 9 power-ups, boost through HP, such that you can no longer increase the stats of your vehicle in a single city instance (up to 7 minutes long). A total of 160 stats equals a completion. You need 18 of every stat except HP, which caps at 16 due to City Trial mechanics (Start Game = -2 offset of every stat except HP, but all are visually represented as 0 on the pause screen).Note that this is done on normal tempo, which makes this far more difficult as the game runs at 60 fps versus the 40 fps in Slow Tempo that grant you more control.The rainbow part of this challenge is accomplishing this feat once with every Kirby color, totaling to eight times. As of this upload, still only three people have ever successfully completed one maxout on normal tempo, let alone eight. You could be #4! Slow tempo probably has many more unrecorded instances, but I believe normal tempo is hard enough to where people would have recorded it had they achieved it.All of the progress towards this challenge was streamed on Twitch! twitch.tv/bluekandyTwitter: twitter.com/bluekandywxI don't have an instagram and you can't have my snap lolChapters:0:00 Introduction0:24 Maxout #1 - White Kirby10:50 Maxout #2 - Brown Kirby20:16 Maxout #3 - Purple Kirby29:05 Maxout #4 - Blue Kirby (WR)38:14 Maxout #5 - Red Kirby46:58 Maxout #6 - Green Kirby55:56 Bonus - 5 Hot Dogs PB56:59 Maxout #7 - Pink Kirby1:05:33 Maxout #8 - Yellow Kirby (sorry for the audio glitch at the start of this)
My Best Speedrun - [WR] Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour Any% Speedrun in 49:58 Bluekandy 2021-09-15 | **warning: anxiety-inducing ending and emotions** Best speedrun I've ever done to date—longest grind, hardest goal, most effort and most unique skill thresholds needed to achieve the last 10-minute barrier.What's most impressive about this run (besides Badlands' chaos) is the lack of any bonus hole outs post-Lakitu Valley, meaning all courses thereafter had either perfect play or just enough to meet the hole skips for maintaining sub 50 pace.

Kirby Air Ride - City Trial Max Stats in 5:55.33 Bluekandy 2021-09-01 | NORMAL TEMPO || Outdated 10/14/22, 5:14.27 by drc; PWR = 6:37.37 by drc || twitch.tv/bluekandyMy 4th completed run here is of a different nature. Secret chamber alls, but look closely—at 3m17s left, those alls finish every stat except glide and 1 HP. This means I had every other stat at 12 or greater right around halfway through, which would already be one of my best runs ever. Had glide been up there too, this could've shaved another minute off... but good luck finding the RNG for that. This is the third time I've ever seen secret chamber alls personally, and to have it happen with a start as good as this—and then NOT have a bad event happen afterward—is a godsend. Maybe this record will stand the trial of time, maybe not.With this run coming well before anticipated, and with my favorite color kirby getting a maxout, I decided to try to max out once with every kirby color. As of this upload, I have completed blue, purple, brown and white. Pink, yellow, red and green remain! :DWii, NTSC-UTwitter: twitter.com/bluekandywx

Only three alls this time, and one good event (UFO) versus two in my previous max out (Dyna + Tac).

Kirby Air Ride - City Trial Max Stats in 6:55.27 Bluekandy 2021-08-10 | NORMAL TEMPO || Third person to ever successfully complete this challenge, 2nd place time. King DDD fight included || twitch.tv/bluekandySorry, one hell of a monologue to finish off this run, but I included the King DDD fight and all emotions throughout. I will continue attempts for WR, I think :)Max Stats: Max Stats in City Trial involves maxing out every possible type of power-up, tracked in the pause menu, for a total of 160. There are two separate categories—slow (40 fps) and normal tempo (60 fps). The spread is 18 for every stat except HP, which goes to 16. This is because stadium games start with a base 0 in every stat, while City Trial start game reduces every stat except HP to -2; however, the pause menu shows every stat at 0, so the minimum for non-HP stats is -14 and the maximum 18 (-16 to +16). There are no All downs. All ups appear during the city as a result of Vs. King DDD selected as the stadium, which changes the item spawn list very slightly to include very rare chances at alls outside of events.Wii, NTSC-UTwitter: twitter.com/kyandishan
Mario Golf: Super Rush All Courses v2 Speedrun in 52:41 Bluekandy 2021-08-10 | [Outdated 8/11/21 - 52:21 by me] v2.0... random accuracy everywhere, and character diversity in the speedrun || twitch.tv/bluekandyPretty happy with this run. Everything got a lot harder once we ripped off the bandaid of deterministic accuracies across the board, but that just means these runs get stacked and nerve-wracked when every shot starts going your way. Now it's a game of risk mitigation, management, and crossing fingers at times.

Mario Golf Super Rush World Record: -37 Rookie Course in 5:41.16 Bluekandy 2021-07-19 | Non-TAS. TAS score would be -52! This run is still WR in 2022, both in score and time! Based attempt of Rookie Course. PWR = 5:57, -36 by Friskiest on day 3 || twitch.tv/bluekandyHow far we've come, lol. I struggled a bit to hit nearly frame perfectly on hole 2 and thereafter due to some nerves. The toilet bowl on hole 9 also cost a second... but otherwise, the strong finish sealed the deal. You can get -36 with Miis without any extra holes in one, so this officially requires you to get an ace somewhere to beat it. Regular characters lose the albies on 12 and 18, as well as the eagle on 17 in a normal round without chip ins.MG:SR Discord server: discord.gg/rNdbV4yBBsWant to speedrun MG:SR? go here: speedrun.com/mgsrTwitter: twitter.com/bluekandywx
Mario Golf: Super Rush Character Tier List—Speed Golf Bluekandy 2021-07-14 | This is a character tier list for the speed golf/time attack mode of Super Rush (v1.1—new characters noted in pinned comment). The video uses Bonny Greens 1 as a basis for routing. Even on holes where hearts are more spaced apart, the faster speed stat does not make up for difference in special dash speed and distance traveled (it's always more optimal to walk and wait for the next special dash if a heart cannot be reached before enough charge exists for a special dash); therefore, this is one of the best holes for routing. As a result, the Rookie Course having no hearts makes the tier list *roughly* the same, prioritizing higher stamina characters more overall. So, Bowser wins anyways. Courses where floating characters can cross water or lava only contain a few instances of optimal pathing for those characters—the differences are very minor and do not outweigh faster characters across the entire course.Did I miss anything?
