Newest question: I'm at sprinting speed with a shell and a p-switch. I need to jump, drop the p-switch, jump off of it with the shell, and then shell jump from there. How do I drop and jump off the p-switch while keeping running speed? I've tried letting go 2 frames before my speed is 47, then 6/5ing to try and catch up with the p-switch, but I just can't. The only way I can catch up is if I let my speed stay at 49, but then I can't resume running speed after. Help please =/

Thanks.


Yeah, you have it right. You have to be facing away from the wall when you catch it, and press up on the frame you catch the wall (remember SMW has a bit of input lag, so you'll have to actually press it a few frames beforehand).

And of course, you have to actually be the right size for the door, but I assume you knew that.

That is the 3rd frame I've held up for, and the 4th frame I've been facing away from the wall, still isn't working =(
I believe you have to do everything at the exact time you need to get in the door...
So you don't hold up for three frames, try pressing it right when you're at the door.
As the other user posted up there, remember SMW's input lag! The lag sucks.

New question at top.


Corner clipping without a cape is the same idea. The main reason it tends to be more difficult is because you HAVE to have 49 speed when you hit the block, or you won't be able to enter it enough. In addition, your subpixel MUST be F0 before you enter it (this is because 49 speed plus F0 subpixel equals the four pixels needed to clip the block). With flying, you can get anywhere from C0 to F0 if you hit the block with 51 speed.

On the other hand, non-caped clipping is much easier to control, so you should be able to do it after a while of trying. It's still not an easy thing to do due to the p-meter problem and oscillation, but with if you get close enough to the block with 49 speed, you can do it!

So I don't need to press forward on a frame or anything? Literally just fall into the block at 49 speed, and hope for the best, since I don't understand all this subpixel business. Would it be worth learning about lua script and stuff before attempting this, or just try randomly?


No, you never need to press forward for a frame (nor do you need to on flying clipping), though you do need to be falling fast enough to enter the block vertically enough.
I started off randomly trying it, using a Lua script to more to help find optimized corner clips rather than just pull it off. Just try and figure out where the block's edge is, and get four pixels past that.

I seriously can't do it by just randomly trying, and I clicked a link on tasvideos to the lua script, didn't understand much, so I'm pretty much screwed =/



That's... A really hard corner clip for your first attempt. I recommend getting some practice from other hacks before that one, because that one's a little too tight for comfort.
i.e. your y speed can barely get high enough

I've managed to get 49x speed and at least 33 y speed when hitting the corner, do I need to hit pretty much bang on the corner or like a tiny bit higher/lower?

For example, I'm not clipping =(



Speeds are not the only thing you need, you also need the right position. You need to literally be a single subpixel away from hitting the block for it to work.

I decided to try jumping on all the different frames possible while reaching 49x and 33y, while beginning to hold right on all the different frames during those jumps, and also altered the time I held jump in midair to sstay airborne longer, and still haven't done it, so trial and error has failed me. This whole lua script is baffling me and screwing up things as I needed to download a new emulator so I'm way out of my comfort zone. So, I've quit doing this bit lol, going to leave it to shadowdragon who is collabing this with me. If he can't do it... May God have mercy on us all.
this is a difficult corner clip will take time to do

All of this happens the frame before my speed hits 0. When standing against the wall, I have 130xposition, so 132xposition and 240subpixel (which is F0) should be perfect.

But I'm just not clipping. Any advice please?
new question ^


Yeah, I completely forgot about this when you first posted this clip...

Is there a mushroom anywhere in the level, or any way you could get a mushroom into it?

Don't worry, I've done basically everything now. Did the wallcatch door entry, the corner clip was changed since it wasn't possible, and I've now done the underwater wallcatch. I really should try harder because I go raving for help =P
In gbreeze's case, I think he tested most of it, and took other ideas from things he has seen in other videos, meaning he doesn't need to test it. This was just a mistake.
