70 Star JP/US Comparison Video
updated
i've seen the longjump idea displayed in this video from a player called StainedGlass in the sm64 discord that intrigued me to investigate a bit so in the end this larger comparison came out. i think their strat may be good for when the ship is low. i got good rta times with it with a low ship. not sure how well it behaves with lag, definitely something worth messing around with in practice though in my opinion.

Since the Community Sum of Best went below 1:35:00 I think it was time to update the video. This was actually already finished two weeks ago but due to many roadblocks and time constraints I wasn't able to finish it up. You can read a blogpost about it on my new website, warning though, it's a pretty long rant: https://dagoth.xyz/blog/electrosmogghost.html

(i'll work on a 70 comparison soon, which i will link here)
this is a playback of a tas with rta strats(i made this "tas" mostly by playing myself with n64 controller) on four platforms for sm64. the emulator i used is pj64 1.6.
keep in mind that there is no official jp version for vc, the purpose of this is for demonstration. (us is ~4.5s slower than jp on vc for this category)
final times:
n64: 1:37:35.63
emu with counter factor 1(mostly lagless emu setting): 1:36:28.27
emu with counter factor 2: 1:38:02.47
vc: 1:35:26.30
-76f over 2012 120 star tas.
