SMO: Studying beginner any% Cap route - session #1.14

# Summary:

SMO: Studying beginner any% Cap route - session #1.14. I did practice runs and measured my work against a bunch of metrics. I beat the metrics. My new PR for Cap kingdom is 2:11. I'm now 20% away from the world record run that I've been benchmarking against.

---------------------------------------------------

I recorded my work against the metrics from this session. I also included a time metric. I wanted to get 4 out of 5 runs under 2:15. I measured from the time of starting in the start screen to the time that I hit the boss for the last hit.

These are my results:

Any% Cap kingdom		Runs
		1	2	3	4	5
1	Cut scene	1	1	1	1	1
2	Spark roll	0	1	1	1	1
3	Steps to first bridge	1	1	1	1	1
4	Steps to second bridge	0	1	1	0	0
5	Don't fall off the bridge	1	1	1	1	1
6	River	1	1	1	1	1
7	Up to the arena	0	1	1	1	1
8	hat trick	1	1	1	1	1
9	Composite	63%	100%	100%	88%	88%
10	88-100%	0	1	1	1	1
		4 out of 5 are 88-100%
11	Time	2:24	2:14	2:11	2:13	2:15
12	<= 2:15	0	1	1	1	1
13	4 out of 5 runs <= 2:15	4 out of 5 are <= 2:15

So I met or beat the metrics represented in lines 10 and 13.

I've improved my best time. My last best time was 2:15. Now it's 2:11. My new PR is only 20% slower than compared to the world record that I've been benchmarking against.

Some additional notes:

• On run 3: I accidentally happened upon a new technique for the hat trick. Instead of jumping to the left so that I meet the hat as it moves, I just place myself where I want to land before doing the jump. This way I don't have to touch the direction pad during the jump. This removes a variable (a source of error).
• I forgot to switch to Japanese so that the messages go faster. 

I want to shoot for 4 out of 5 runs <= 2:14. I also don't want any runs above 2:24.

# Next steps: Do timed runs of Cap kingdom aiming to get 2:14 or under on 4 out of 5 runs.
