Unironically correct.

What if I lick the button instead?

Who was in the wrong here?

"Press" in this context includes both the pushing and releasing of the a button. Thus, only pushing or only releasing the a button can be considered half of an a press.

Hope this helps.

>not measuring the depth of a button press and calculating the actuation point

Are you even autistic?

You can't press the A button without eventually releasing it

Correct.
However, for the purposes of the run which the video was only a SEGMENT of, the "A press" that needed to occur for A to be held could have been started in a level that required a full A-press and conserved on the trip into Watch for Rolling Rocks.
Therefore, in the greater scheme of a run, it doesn't add an A-press, but does require A be pressed at some earlier point.
How would you denote that? 0.5 A presses, of course.

But games have an 'end' point so technically you can. If you reach the end holding down a button then you've half pressed it because as far as the game is concerned it was never released in the existence of that play through.

This man is not to be trifled with.

I can't believe its the current year and there are STILL brainlet normalfags out there that can't wrap their reptile brains around something as fundamentally simple as half-A presses.

he didn't make it easier to understand by explaining how there are three parts to an A press
he should really call it 2/3 of an A press

Where's the copypasta where Pannen makes contact with the underworld and uses it to speedrun SM64 in even less A-presses?

Doesn't the game count it as an A Press on every individual frame it is held though?

Technically holding down the A button means pressing A for most of the run - and a run with a minimal amount of A presses would be one with the fewest frames that A was activated.

A "half press", as pannen uses the term, only refers to a technique in TAS SM64 runs where the A button is held down after the initial press in order to perform actions later in the run. He would not say that a literal state of half-pressing exists.

I can’t believe this Mario game has been a conduit for the highest concentration of pure autism.

This dude could be creating supercomputers and curing cancer but instead he focuses his autism on half A presses

HA HA UNIVERSE MEME LE 12 HOURS SO FUNNY XD

FUCK YOU

No it doesn't. And even if it did, a speedrun that focuses on having A pressed for the minimum number of frames would be far more similar to the standard 0-star run than this, and therefore less entertaining.

test

You will have to eventually let go of the button so yeah

Everyone always talks about pushing buttons, but nobody ever talk about pulling buttons

>watch random youtube video
>totally unrelated to videogames
>there's a legit comment by TJ """"Henry"""" yoshi
>other people responding don't even know he's an absolute legend

What a humble man.

>when your not autistic enough to go along with the concept of a half-A press but are autistic enough to complain that he generalised 2/3 as a half
That's a very specific level of autism.

This is like arguing that its "not infinite ammo because eventually the game won't run anymore"

Uli latching on to Busy 3D is slightly weirder only because no one fucking likes that game. pannen definitely outstrips him in technical depth by a longshot though

a half-autism press if you will

So it's anyone here doing the challenge?

>You can't say its only a half
Yeah I can, watch
"It's only a half"
See? ez pz

Ah fuck I had to do that with the start button on my 3 button Genesis controller occasionally because I was a sticky handed little shit

How long until Pannen dismantles and modifies his controller in the middle of a run so that pressing another button inputs A, so its technically not a press?

Hey what ever happened to that $1000 bounty he had on reproducing some warp glitch in the clock level?

Pannencoeck, even though his video was legendary

as far as I know it is still unclaimed

Wasn't it proven to be a literal once in a lifetime "a few bits got mistakenly flipped" glitch?
