I think I found a new speed trick :)

2004-03-31 11:00:17 pm

ok, this trick will only save 1 second or 2 so its no big deal :(
But anyway, the thing is in Ridley, when you are going to get the missile tank on the far bottom right, instead of doing a shinespark to the right, you do it diagonally up-right, this way, you'll break the wall and crash on the top roof, instead of going all the way right, and then run back to get speed.
If this is old I apologise for wasting your time with this post :?
btw I made a video on an emulator but I dont know where I could host it so if anyone is interested in seing it, just tell me a good place to host .zip files.

I didn't get the way you said it, can you clear that up a little bit?

I('d) like to watch (some MP3 runs)

I've done that a couple times, but whenever I would actually try it while recording, my timing would be off and I wouldn't break both rows of < blocks. :(

I really wanted to do it in my 1:04, but I either would get hit by the Viola, or not start the spark from the correct height.

you do everything as normal, when you are charged in the red room, you jump to the platform that is just left to the breakable wall, you just jump a bit right and when you are at the hight of the platform you do the up-right shinespark. I know Im not good at explaining, a page to host the video would make thing easier every site Ive found seems to just accept images :(

That'd save about three seconds at the absolute most. Very few people are concerned with three seconds.

10 * 3 = 30 = 1/2 minute

I personally am very concerned about 3 seconds.

3 seconds are very important to me.

3 seconds may be the difference between this second and that.

Think about it.

The 3 seconds you save might be the difference between 1:05 and 1:04 or something...
