Would you hit this block for 416 Years in Paper Mario?

That's stupid. Half an a press is still pressing the a button. That's an a press, you can't say it's only half.

That is such fucking simple math holy fuck, why does he stretch it out for so long?
This video doesn't need to be 5+ minutes, he could get the exact same amount of information across in 45 seconds.

...

You asked.

No.

It's not really a "press" because it doesn't have the same properties. It's not really "half a press" because that doesn't make sense.
It's better described as a "pressless A release" or something like that.

Henry pls go.

Yes.

A (regular) button press consists of three parts: Pressing, holding, releasing.

Pressing it does something
Holding it does something
Releasing it has no real importance

Therefore there are two relevant parts, "half" a press only uses the holding part, this is relevant in the context of the "minimum A press run" environment because if you only need to hold the button, you can keep it held down from a previous button press, resulting in a reduction in the number, but if it's the first press in the run you need to press the button, adding another button press.

it's "half" because it can be rounded up or down, just like 2.5 can be rounded to 2 or 3 correctly.

But in order to get to the hold button state you have to press it in the first place. That's still a full press.

Regardless of whether a half press is a real thing or not, its pretty god damn autistic.

but a block can't appear over a block right? it's already set to it's active state, it'd have all been for nothing!

unless the entire thing resets upon reloading the map, but then you wouldn't have to do that so many times unless the bottom block's variable doesn't reset for some reason

Which is why the measurement is only relevant on a stage by stage basis. It doesn't apply to a full run because obviously in the large context it is a single press as you say.

Reminder that pannen is STILL releasing videos of SM64 to this day.

He also still has an open $1000 bounty on an upwarp glitch in Tick Tock Clock.

you've got a $1000 bounty on them quads

Because half A press dude made 20 minute long videos
A shame that this is not nearly as fun to watch

goddamn, the op video is some lame overflow error and padded with basic math to appear smarter than it is. While pannen put out some half-assed throwaway video (no voice recording even), involving manipulating the rng and other shit. He is more impressive at his laziest than op is at his best. sad!

Nah dog.

He even made a follow up video that shows it could potentially be used to save a A-Press.

...

It's a half press because it counts differently towards total A presses depending on the type of run. If you're going through the whole game, the fact that you only need to press A to get into the stage and then just not let go afterwards means you don't have to press A at all for the stage, just for the hub world. Thus, the stage does not add an A press to the run. If you're just running the stage, you need to press A once in the actual stage. Thus, there is an A press. So it's a button press that only adds to the counter if you're running the stage in isolation.
I find it's best to just completely ignore the fact that you're only using what happens when you hold the button. It's not really relevant as to why it should be considered less than a full press, imo.

Some faggot trying to ride the coatails of the, "Half A-press" meme for subscribers and views.

Only this time rather than having actual information he just stretches stupid bullshit out with 3rd grade algebra.

This A press bollocks is mind numbing.

It's just based on a full a press run. In that run you can hold the button after a previous jump so you don't have to press it again

It's been awhile since I've seen someone baited so hard and take it every single damn time.

Fuck, I just kept watching his videos and it's been almost two hours. It's amazing how someone can be so dedicated to one game that they basically know all the ins and outs. The maximum coin for every level video was pure autism.

Why would you program it that way? Why the variables over a fixed set of angles?

Ｎｉｎｔｅｎｄｏ　ｉｓ　ｔｒａｓｈ

TAS autism wasn't started by pannenkoek, that's just the first time some of you noticed it.

I wonder what I takes to be so bored that you do stuff like this?

It's seriously 2+2=3 tier bullshit.
In programming logic, there is no such fucking thing as a press that is defined as the combination of [button pressed + (length of time button is held) + button released].
The events are defined as:
and length of button held is still a conditional for the (key pressed) event, like
So his definition of a "button press" is wrong at the code level.

I guess he assumes (or read through the debugger logs like a serial autist) that functions reset when entering a new world.

This is basically what's going on and being checked for by the function.

He's just saying really big numbers. The half a press video is real genius, this shit is normalfag tier compared to it.
