Title: Track & Field Stuffs
Post by: Fly on November 21, 2015, 12:50:37 pm
This thread will be for anything T&F.  Questions, comments, personal bests, oddities ect...

One question I still have is about the 1000 point bonuses. They are on 5 of the 6 events. We can assume the space shuttle graphic was intended to be the bonus on the Hammer throw since this is the only event that does not seem to have one.  Was it ever in there or did they just not get around to making this bonus happen?

Now for a seemingly more simple one: How the Fk do you get a 9.76 long jump? Or any jump greater that 9.72? I've seen 9.74, 9.75 and 9.76. I did the 9.75 myself, but it is my one and only jump over 9.72 and I have no clue how I triggered it to happen after thousands and thousands of jumps. Probably 10k+ jumps in my life.

Another thing I noticed today is the high jump on my 4 player cocktail version seems to have different hit detection on player 4 compared to 1 and 2. I didn't try player 3 so I cant comment on that player. I did jumps that I swear would have been high enough to clear on player 1 or 2 side but they hit the bar. Just wondering if it's in my head or if there is any truth to it.

One thing for sure on the HJ is that gap that appears on the HJ uprights at 2.47 on player 1 and 2 didn't appear till 2.49 or 2.50 on player 4. I have to play again to see which one it appeared on.

So a question I have regarding the gap is: Does the gap not appear on player 4 on the upright version? I can easily switch my dips to upright and get the answer. Just thinking out loud right now.

You can see the gap in the bar clearly in this video. It gets one pixel bigger on each jump.

Regarding the 1000 point bonus, what happens if you get three hammer throws of the same distance?

I don't think 3 throws of the same distance is possible.  Maybe someone can prove me wrong.

The gap on the bar appears at 2.47 on P1 and 2.50 on P4.

Also, compare how close I was to the bar on P1 2.47 height and P4  2.50 height first attempt.

I did an interview for Rolling Stone/ Glixel about Track & Field. They put together a cool little story about the Konami competition from BITD.

This past weekend I had the opportunity to go to Twitch Headquarters in San Francisco to play some games for The Save the Children Foundation. I was lined up to play Vs Excitebike, Vs Gradius and the main reason I was there was because they wanted to see me play Track & Field. It was a great experience and I got to hang out with a bunch of awesome people and gamers. Too many to list, but I'm sure you know about Wes Copeland, Robbie Lakeman, Andrew G. and LordBBH since they are active members here on this forum.

This "schedule" shows who played what, but not at what time. Technical difficulties lead to lots of adjustments to keep this thing rolling.

https://horaro.org/superplay2016/schedule (https://horaro.org/superplay2016/schedule)

The grand total raised for Save the Children was $47,142, half of which came from a donor that matched all other donations for the event.

Here's my Track & Field stuffs.

T&F on MAME? I messed with the idea since I got mame set up for the Oi-Lympics. But so far it's been nothing but frustration. I long jump WAY after the jump line. I foul on the Javelin. I have no clue on the timing on Hammer throw, other than hitting the throw button sometime yesterday for a throw today.

So i was willing to struggle through this BS. But what was killing me was my 4 finger strum on my rt hand only registering 2 or 3 hits and my 3 finger on my left only getting 1-2. Funny thing about that is if I only do my rt hand over and over with no left hand involved ALL 4 hits register. I was getting 16 per second with just my rt hand. Same story with my left. All 3 hits register and I was getting 12 per second. I have a program that shows how many hits per sec.

Here's the real BS. When I use both hands my hits per second have been averaging 17-18 per sec. I double finger tap almost that fast! 16 rt hand and 12 left hand should easily fall into 25-28 range. I AM physically hitting the buttons that many times. In an 8 second trial I hit over 200 times and register only 140-150 hits. When I slow down and press about 160-170 times it registers 150-155. I get the same results with micro and leaf buttons. I ran a few races and was getting 8.30ish. I jumped on my cab and did the same timing on my run and got 7.90.

So MAME seems to have issues with me pressing over 20x per sec. Slower gets better results. I only have this issue on a real cab when I go over 30x a sec.

MAME gets a  <mad>  <thefinger> up it's booty from me!

There's some analysis out there, maybe by GStrain, about MAME only being able to register a certain number of button presses per frame, and it makes T&F, and Hyper Sports harder.  As for the hammer throw, thank god it's not just me.  I can never get the f'ing thing to work on MAME worth a damn.  The response time just doesn't seem to be there.  Archery on HS seems to be just off, too.  On a cab, I can get the apples every time.  Not on MAME.  If you're having issues, imagine how the rest of us feel  FailFish

Hey, Hector, could I get a list of your personal bests for the events in Hyper Sports? I have a lot of friends getting into the game big-time at Up Down, and I'd like to know both for my own sake as well as for them what the sort of "top tier" marks are for the events. Thanks!

Some of these are approximates. Cant remember all of them off the top of my head.

Swimming 43.75 with no breath trick and 45.25ish without.

Skeet 21,200. here's a 20,200 clip.

9.65 Long Horse. 9.60 on 1st round. Run up is faster which yields longer, higher jumps for more spins on later rounds.

4600 Archery like a million times.  <mad> I've done a non perfect 1st shot followed by 7 perfects on one round followed by 7 perfects and a non perfect on next rd. So 14 perfects in a row. I have yet to get all 8 in one try.  <mad>

Triple Jump 19.39. That's like the 9.72 LJ on T&F but a bit harder to get.

Weight Lifting 540kg

Pole Vault 5.94. I've also had 10 moles in a row a few times.

170k 1st loop a few times but 140-150k 1st loop is still an excellent score to start off with.

Here's a 150k round with 8 moles in a row.

I used to play 4-man marathons when I was 13-14, at Aladdin's Castle.  Didn't archery have apples after you get perfect 600s on the bullseyes?  I can't do it anymore, I've tried 500 times.  540kg on weightlifting is ridiculous.  I've also topped out at 5.94 on the pole vault, but I've never had a sub-48 swimming.  I'd never heard of the 6 or 8 finger technique, so I either did 2 fingers on each button, or I also had a thing where I could just make my hands into the shape of a karate chop and just shake like I was having a seizure.  Great times, and a great game to play for a few hours with 3 other players.

I've only heard of the apples and have never gotten them. I did see a couple different machines with 11k and 13k on Archery. Also saw some with 21,800 Skeet which is probably from hitting 2 targets in the same box/one shot for 500 pts instead of the normal 100 each shot.  And that 540kg on lifting is on TG Arcade settings which are harder than the settings on MAME. I think I did 590 or 600kg on MAME.

6-8 finger doesn't work well on HS so I use a 2 finger tap on each button. Good for over 30 per second.

Much, much better game than T&F. Going for score can be frustrating though, since timing is so crucial to big big scores. One mistake and you either lose huge pts or even game over.

So I've finally started playing this a bit and I've noticed that not all mashing techs are equal. Any idea what techs work the best on which events? It just seems inconsistent between them. Do you use the wobble on any of the events?

No wobble from me. Have always used double tap on both buttons. Closest thing to wobble is my PV technique. Same as HJ on T&F. double tap on one button and thumb on the other. LOOKS like wobble but it isn't.

A little more T&F. I'll be attempting to break the 1 man continuous loops score(about 5.1 mil)and the Marathon score(29.9 mil) at Meow Wolf. Feel free to raise the bar before then if you wanna be a dick.  Kappa

If I get put near Robotron I'll probably be distracted since I would really like to see Abdner play again. GOOD STUFF! As much as I would like to see him play if I am near the other stuff I will probably do better. The other stuff bores me. Galaga is cool too.  8)

Real money($xxx. Not sure how much to offer) if you can figure out how to make anything better than 9.72 happen. No cheating or hacks. Say how it's done. Find a way to do it/repeat it. or have someone else be able to repeat /do it. I dont care. I just wanna know. I did it just once in probably over 10,000 tries.

PSN Version on PS4 is the worst T&F port EVER!!!

I tried with the PS4 pad. That's wireless, had major lag. Tried my fight stick which is wired. Same lag. Not sure how many frames there has to be between button presses, but 8 finger roll was slower than tapping with one or 2 fingers. My fastest technique on the PS pad which gets below 7 seconds on the PS1 version got ZERO inputs. ZERO!

Not that any of you would even buy this, but just in case you consider it....DON'T!!  Taking your $7.99 and shoving it in all your orifices dry would be more enjoyable.

Enjoy!

Yesterday took the 10+ years of dust off my cartridge and did just that.  looked through a few of the existing videos and didn't see any hand cams. So you know what I did? A hand cam, of course! I Played about 30 minutes and beat the WR 2X. Once within my first couple of tries and once more about 25 minutes into my stream.  Silly kids trying to compete with the Button Mashter.  Kappa

But Caravan mode....Leader Board...T&F....I just had to! Total Sucker!!

At least I feel like I got $7.99 worth of torture going for the top spot. Yes it was painful, but now I say it was worth it. Took about a dozen tries and I got the top spot.

So since I was pissed off about it I went and did this.

Yeah, fairly clean Excitebike run. Either 1 or no crashes. And good times on all the races so I had about a minute left for final race. Got 78,935. I gave up on it. Tweeted about being defeated and knowing when to quit. I was at it again the next day. LOL!

So I was curious about the scores on Hyper Sports Rearranged. I didn't know if it rolled at a million or if it showed the digit and kept going. It took me about a dozen tries to find out. No small task. The 400m event is a forearm kill after 1 loop and I still felt it when I got to it on loop 2. So you can imagine how I felt when I got to loop 4 each time. And I needed to get to loop 5 for the mil. That takes about 90 minutes and I got 992k and 993k before I cracked the mil. Not on the same day. Fk that noise!

So I recently have been playing a sht ton of Carvan Modes on Arcade Archives games on the Switch and PS4. About a year ago I got 1st place on Vs Excitebike on the Switch. It was a real B**** to get the score I got. Fast forward a bit and Andrew G. grinds it out for 20-30 hours and beats me. I did the same in return and got 1st again.

Here's a game where I fell 25 points short of his score.


All I got was a clip of the last 30 seconds of the new 1st place score on my Twitter. https://twitter.com/FlyHec/status/1361154816752246790?s=20

I also started playing some Time Pilot again. I already have 1st on the Switch so I got it on PS4 now. My 1st would be like 5th on PS4!  <gasp> Fly don't play that. So session 1 I get 216k which is good for 3rd and easily passes my Switch score. Then I catch wind of there being a speedrun category at SR. So I switch gears and go for that. 1 paractice session and 1 recording session and BAM! New SR record. 3:53, beating a 3:59.


Now back to Caravan. Got a new PB but no 1st yet. 2nd........for now!


Trying to hammer out my "King of Konami" and "Player of the Centuri" titles.

Yes, I gave those titles to myself. But if you want them.....BEAT ME!

I'm 8th place.  The longer the game goes, the better I am.  I wish Caravan mode was just a little bit longer.  Like 15 minutes.  I know I could do much, much better with just a little extra time.  Somehow I actually have a higher placing in Donkey Kong Junior caravan.  With that, I am in 7th place.  So yeah, Caravan mode is not my strong suit.  LOL

I don't think I ever mentioned that I got all 15 of the speedrun WRs on Vs. Excitebike. All 7 main tracks, all 7 Challenge races and the full run of Tracks 1-7. 

I played a ton of Vs Excitebike and UniRacers during that covid lockdown thingy. So I also got 57/58 speedrun WRs on UniRacers. That's 54 Individual races and best laps + 3 full run variations. I never submitted one of the 58 due to the video missing a short 45 seconds of a 2 1/2  hour run. WACK! but I did beat it.

Here's all the Vs Excitebike main races. Lot's of bouncy bouncy.

It's been a while since I posted here, but I've been busy busting scores/times/runs.

I went nuts on NES Excitebike. Last year was Arcade Vs. Excitebike. I also went hard on UniRacers.

How crazy? How does 94 videos and 105 World records sound? And that's not even all of them.

Here's a playlist of my 2022 WRs.

Been taking a break from Excitebike and UniRacers since the new year. So just by accident I started to speedrun Arcade Punchout!!

This is my current PB. It's #2 at SR. Not a very deep list but the top time is SUPERB! I'd be happy cutting another 10 seconds and be done.

Don't be confused.  This is a new article on an event I was at 23 years ago. It was the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 BIG Score Competition.  The grand prize was $10,000.00. I added the .00 to make it look bigger.  ;D

I can answer more questions about the event if anyone has any. It's one of my favorite events I was in and I love talking and reminiscing about it.

Some updates on what this T&F guy has been up to.

I got sucked back into NES Excitebike. I was doing full runs and Track 4 and 5 kept killing my runs.  I got tired of getting my ass kicked by them so I started practicing on them specifically to be more consistent on my full runs. That soon turned into a PB(WR improvement) on 4 and then a bigger PB(4th WR improvement). 47.26! 3.54 Seconds faster than #2.

Most of my grind was on Track 5. My PB was around 49 and usually got 55-60. I was a novice here.  I was aiming for consistent sub 50 for full runs. I got down to fairly easy 45s. That was about 2 seconds off the top spot, so I started to work on that. The cut from 44 down to 42 or even 43 was much more significant that I thought. I grinded for 1 month and finally got a mid 42. Just a tic away from #1. So, the grind continued, but the goal wasn't #1. It was now SUB 40. There is an unsubmitted run on another players YT. He got 39.95, but for whatever reason, he never submitted it. I think he only does full runs but knew this was significant and saved the clip.  After another month of 2-3 hours a day, I finally get sub 40! 39.45! Here's the thing....I hit mud just before the finish and ruined a shot at sub 39.  FailFish  NotLikeThis I couldn't stand the thought of someone copying my run MINUS the mud and beating me. Another month on Track 5 and I finally get a clean run. 38.86 is where the record stands. I'm done with this track. Your turn!  <thefinger>

I took my newly found knowledge and skills to track 2C Selection A and Selection B and lowered those a few times. I actually have a faster time than anybody else on Selection B (opponents on the track) than they have on Selection A (No opponents).

I've rambled long enough. Short compared to my grind. LOL!
