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:

12<= 2:1501111
134 out of 5 runs <= 2:154 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.
