SMO: Studying beginner any% Cap route - session #1.23

# Summary:

SMO: Studying beginner any% Cap route - session #1.23. I got a new PR of 2:06 but I failed at my main metrics related to consistency across 5 runs. 


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


I did measured practice of the things I've been trying to learn over the past few sessions.

These are my results:

I quit after the 4th run.

Footnotes from the table above:

[1] 
  • On run 3: I tried once to go just left of the line between me and the end pole. I successfully hit dive towards the top of the 3rd jump of my triple jump, but I crashed into the railing and died in the water.
  • On the other runs I stayed slightly to the right of the line between me and the end pole. And each time I smoothly did the triple jump, dive and roll on the bridge.
  • Going forward, I'm not going to try to jump over the railing. I'm just going to stay slightly to the right of it.
[2] On two runs I went very smooth over the steps while successfully diving at the height of the last jump, causing me to land exactly where I expected. On one run it was smooth but slow because I didn't do the dive. On one run I accidentally wall grabbed, slowing me down a bunch.

[3] I'm not sure I'm thinking about this right. On the first downslope, I often pop off the bridge because I'm doing my first roll. On the second downslope, I successfully avoid popping off the bridge (no hitting the roll button). I think I shouldn't be concerned with the first downslope. I should just be concerned with picking up speed with one roll, and then avoid hitting the roll button while on the downslope.

[4] On one of my runs, my tap of the jump button did not get me across the river. I'm guessing that I didn't jump far enough onto the island, or I didn't run enough towards the edge of the island before tapping the jump button.

[5] I still haven't even remembered to shake to get the frog. But there was one case where I messed up crossing the river, and I guess because of the weird situation, I remembered to shake to throw cappy. But instead of cappy going forward to the frog, it went directly up. I think I'm going to stop doing this shake to grab the frog thing.

[6] I made the mistake again where I did the long jump too early, causing a backflip instead.

[7] I don't recall what went wrong.


# Next steps: Continue doing measured practice of Cap kingdom.
