# Summary:
SMO: Studying beginner any% Cap route - session #1.18. I practiced the gameplay ideas that I learned from rewatching smallant guide. I documented post-practice notes. During that I discovered two issues that need additional thought/research (possibly external help). After that I'm going to decide which old metrics to keep and what new ones to add.
---------------------------------------------------
I did this session immediately after the last one. So I didn't reference my list of tips from last session. I also did not take notes during practice.
Some post-practice notes:
- I didn't do a reset of the game for these practice runs. So there were no cut scenes and some of the play was different.
- I did maybe 6 or 8 practice runs. In some of these I backtracked to retry a part of the run.
- Dive after exiting frog:
- I successfully did this once. I forgot to try it on the first have of my runs.
- Dive after jumping in the beginning of the boss fight.
- I successfully did this a few times. I forgot to try it on the first few runs.
- Crossing the steps to the second bridge. Time stamped link
- I wasn't able to replicate this in full. I did follow the path that smallant follows better than previous runs.
- Going down slopes, don't hit roll button or shake.
- I often initially forgot to do this and then remembered after the first press of the roll button, then corrected myself (stopped pressing roll button).
- When jumping off the island to cross the river, do a tiny jump.
- I'm still jumping much higher than smallant does. I'm bad at doing button taps. This is a recurring theme.
- Maybe I should isolate this issue by practicing button taps in some other situation that has less variables involved for me to pay attention to. [1]
- When getting control of the frog, shake the controller instead of pressing the cappy button.
- I forgot to try this.
- When getting to the ramp, do long jump, triple jump, dive, roll (into the ramp)
- I got this right a few times.
- Zipping around the end pole to the boss fight.
- My idea didn't work. I'm going to research how to do this. [1]
[1] I need to research these.
# Next steps: (1) Study two issues. (2) Decide which old metrics to keep. (3) Decide new metrics.
