MST Route Discussion

Bye longshot *sniff* im going to miss you.
Awesome job taylortotdoesntfailanymore.
(whos/whats taylortot and why does he win?)

Seriously you guys are awesome. I thought that all of the secrets in this game had been found, but we just keep finding stuff! I eagerly await both videos that will be coming showing the fire trial and the bomb clip. This seriously feels like we're getting closer to the final route and to -3:30 times. I'm gonna test some of this stuff, and maybe even do a run tonight if I can. Goodbye longshot and good riddance!

I'm been practicing the gate skip for a solid hour.  I got it on my first attempt, but I have yet to succeed again. I must be doing something wrong... This is gonna suck for me I think. And don't en get me started on hoverslides -_____-

figures all this stuff is found the first time i try a run, though i couldnt get up to magic lol.  i did pull off a tektike superslide to the three boulders wich was pretty cool.  For the supposed bomb gate skip, what exactly do you do?  if this was discussed on irc i missed it, as ive had to hop from computer to computer the last few days and not all of them can run irc

For the supposed bomb gate skip, what exactly do you do?

Well I'm not entirely sure yet, but there will be a video soon. Basically what I remember doing is putting a bomb behind me and running  towards the seam between the gate and the wall.

OMFG i just went to shadow to try and practice and realised that i duped over my bombs on my main file trying to get FW ng+ and saved

Slowly walk against the wall to the right in the gate room. Where the gate meets the black thing on the wall, you can feel a little bump like the gate part is slightly more prominent than the wall part. You want to get as close in the corner of this invisible corner as you can without moving to far left onto the 'prominent' or gate part of the wall. One good way I can usually tell is when the very middle  top of links hat is lined up with the small white line on the left side of the black line on the wall. Anyway, once you get into position just pivot 180, A-drop a bomb, pivot 180 again, then target the wall and walk straight forward.

Hey Taylor, do you mind if I record the fire trial hover boost too?

[benstephens1000]

Thanks a bundle and a half Taylor for that detailed description. I haven't missed the clip once after reading that. Great find Pedal. I finally am beginning to like this route

So, if you're skipping longshot, does that mean no Dark Link?

3:30, well done guys. I don't do ww, so I couldn't ever run this (unless we make MST no ww), but seriously, WELL DONE.

Any one gonna help me revive 100% now?

Yes we are skipping dark Link. There is no need because we are skipping the longshot now that we have new shadow gate skip. Also no one has gotten 3:30 yet, but with this route I believe it is very much possible.

Hey-oh new world record
3:47:52 I can't say I'm too happy with it, but it will do until I can get another run in in 2 or 3 days. Water early was atrocious, spirit block skip was abominable, and the fire hover boost was atrocious, but it's a new record. In an hour or so I will probably post some split times that I recorded.

Fairy Ocarina - 0:7:26
Zelda’s Lullaby - 0:16:15
Goron Bracelet - 0:28:39
Bombs - 0:38:37
Nocturne of Shadow - 0:49:13
Requiem of Spirit -  0:59:00
Zora Sapphire - 1:12:05
Master Sword - 1:21:40
Hover Boots - 1:30:33
Shadow Medallion -  1:40:49
Forest Medallion - 1:58:39
Fire Medallion - 2:21:48
Water Medallion - 2:41:11
Spirit Medallion - 3:04:26
Ganondorf - 3:38:24
Ganon - 3:47:52

These may not be so incredibly accurate due to my ghetto setup for taking splits, but it should serve its purpose good enough.

When are we going to see vids/recordings of 3ds mst runs?!
Not for proof, but for the entertainment value clearly and seeing all the magic taking place in one single segment!

[Pedalpowertoast]

Not sure. Takes a lot of practise, patience, time etc. to play 3:50 minutes. Recording can be a bit difficult too.
Maybe Taylor, GS or Tom might do one. I would do one if it wouldnt take so long to do.
(Has Tom said anything about that surprise yet?)

[benstephens1000]

I would start recording but I don't currently have a camera that can record 4 hours of game play. However I am working on getting something together possibly. Also Tom hasn't unveiled any surprises.
