He was right though. Either you press the fucking button or you don't. It's 100% binary. Everything else is just hamfisted semantic autism.
What did he even do to deserve so much hate?
>t. tj """""henry""""" yoshi
>>738696507He was correct. It's just speedrunner autism to not call it an A-hold and instead give it the absolutely retarded entitling of "half A-press". But it's just holding the button without releasing it.
>>738696507>>738696565>>738696582>>738696667If you beat 4 levels, with 2 A-presses, how much did it take per level?
>>738696767If I fuck your mom yesterday, I won't say I fucked her 0.5 times then and 0.5 times today.
i miss 2017-2019 SM64 youtube, simpleflips was still playing the meme garbage that would come out on the weekly (SUPER DANK PUSSYO 69), kaze made weird new interesting hacks, etc, etc.Simple is still awesome though, doing a lot better than he was back then, I still check in with him every now and then, even if his newer content is stuff I don't necessarily like as much. I'm happy for him.
>>738696851what kind of american is this
>>738696919spic
>>738696846But if you insert the dick before midnight, and don't finish until after it you also wouldn't claim you fucked her twice.
the man couldn't even decide whether he was fully tj or fully henry, he has no say on the matter
>>738696507>It's 100% binary.It's not because holding the jump button has different effects like slowing wing Mario's descent.There were stars that technically did not require jumping but did require the jump button to be held.
>>738696507>>738696667The "half-press" isn't literal. It's just shorthand. People tracking the number of A presses know what 0.5 A presses means. YOU are the ones engaging in autistic semantics because it's not literal enough for you when removed from its context, even when a bigger autist tried to give it a literal explanation.
>>738696507He himself admitted he was wrong
>>738697990a coward on top of everything else
>>738697025you'd fuck her all night in that case
>>738696507it is semantic but there was need to point out the button was pressed all that time and the physics changed because of it
>>738697931>no see we get what we mean when we call the two pronged spear a trident because this game doesn't have bidentsCool explanation, still factually incorrect.
>the computer scientist autist is wrong because..... I said so.
>>738698335it was revealed to me in a dream
>>738696507He had reason to call it a half A-press, both because holding A behaves differently to leaving it unpressed and because he was trying to figure out how many times you'd have to press A to beat the game. """"""""Henry"""""""""""" didn't seem to get that.
>>738696851Yeah, I miss his fatass era too
>>738698154>>738698454Except it doesn't matter when you start the hold, you HAVE to press the button and hold it at some point to beat the challenge (at least back then). If I throw you into the rolling rocks challenge but you're not allowed to pick up the controller until you're in the level, you have to press the button and hold it to benefit from the change in physics. PERIOD. The arbitrary distinction of "Oh, but I held the button BEFORE I went into the painting so it doesn't count" is why people like Henry had the ground to debate it.
>>738697990The press is when you apply pressure to the button, that's why it's called a fucking press. Not letting go of the button doesn't it make it half of a press.
>>738698583>If I throw you into the rolling rocks challenge but you're not allowed to pick up the controllerSo a completely different context than what the video was about? Did you know you can beat it in 0 A presses if you're playing on an emulator and map jump to something other than A?
>>738696507He was right in a way. There's technically no reason to count per level runs a presses alongsude full game runs a presses, and calling it "half a presses" is misleading to what it actually represents. However, the "half a press" description is convenient for knowing whether a level can require the a button being held down, plus it is shorter to write than "0 a presses on a full game basis, 1 a press on a per level basis". Therefore, it's fair enough as a compromise.
He's right because once you hit the button it does whatever the button is intended to do, unless there's some extra thing like a charge for holding and releasing. For a jump or something pressing down makes you jump and that's that, releasing the button does nothing so how does that count as half a button press? I hate autistic faggots, you can't reason with them and they never concede any point or even try to rethink things
>>738696507A button press being registered on key press and/or key release is a common enough control setting in PC games. They are recognized separate states.
>>738696507He was wrong and ignorant, and rightfully called out for ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9j-FNIXSh50
>>738698720>unless there's some extra thing like a charge for holding and releasingthere is retard
>>738698720>releasing the button does nothingWasn't the entire point that it does do something?
>>738698720>unless there's some extra thing like a charge for holding and releasingHalf a presses come from the fact that simply holding the button can be useful sometimes, actually. Holding can save an a press in full game runs, but cannot save any on a level basis.
>>738698720>unless there's some extra thing like a charge for holdingYou're not gonna fucking believe this
>>738697990You can kill the man, but not the idea.
>>738698775It's true, but calling it 0.5 press is retarded.
>>738698829How many special movies did he do without pressing a button?
>>738698189That would be a transdent
tj """henry""" (((yoshiberg)))
>>738696507Values and their current state matter, retard. Fuck you.
>>738699012It's actually why it's called a "half-press" in the first place: the number 0.5 came first. They're counting the number of A presses. How do you count holding A before even entering the star?>It's more than 0 because it requires A be pressed>It's less than 1 because it's possible for it not to be a brand new press for the countMore than 0. Less than 1. Throw an 0.5 onto the number of A presses necessary for a star and it tells you everything you need to know. It's not a star you can do without A, but you can round down the number of presses to 0 in a full run by holding the button after an earlier press. It's actually the perfect notation.
He was wrong and retarded, normoids like him can't understand that terminology is not always the most literal interruption of something.
>>738699030.5 gets the punch, .5 gets the special move.
>>738699247Controller already has distinct "button press" and "button release" state since forever, the most obvious example is dodge roll in dark souls which triggers on button release.Making up new terminology like 0.5x A press sounds stupid.
>>738696851Is that Sal Vulcano?I never thought Impractical Jokers would do videogames stuff
>>738698583It's only an arbitrary distinction if you look at the video in a vacuum, which you're not supposed to.The point was to add up all the necessary A presses in run. Rolling rocks didn't add to the count because you could theoretically carry over a previous A press from a star where it's mandatory.
After so many years, this thread is STILL full of people who don't understand what the meaning of "half A press" was.And they're always the ones who believe they are the smart ones. Dunning-Kruger effect never misses.
>>738696507Yes, it is true you can either "press the button or not press it." "The definition is for terminological clarity. There are three phases to pressing any button: the actuation, holding, and release of the button. The phrase "half an A press" is for describing the utilization of the button's holding state for another jump. It is a self-defeating claim to say a button press is either a press or not a press, as you are doing the very thing you contend against: prescribing jargon to a button's state. Which is ontologically subjective and non-representative of reality. You are committing the solipsism fallacy by taking advantage of the epistemologically ambiguous terminology by asserting your subjective and/or perspective is true. There is no need to do that. As this is for the benefit of both of our understanding.
>>738696507He changed his mind eventually because he actually took the time to understand the concept. Unlike (you)
Pressing, holding and releasing are 3 different states of being.
ok but what does the game code saydecomp bros where are you at
>>738700228The decomp bros are the ones routing the A button challenge. They came up with the half A press terminology.
>>738696667pannen (the runner) has legitimate autism. I don't have them saved but there were multiple screenshots of him writing essay-length replies in the comment sections. Unraveling the secrets of Mario 64 is more important to him than life itself.

When is Pannen's next video coming out?
>>738696851simple is an abuser didnt you know https://www.dexerto.com/youtube/youtuber-simpleflips-denies-abuse-claims-and-hints-at-legal-action-over-speedrun-com-ban-3357874/
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loT-wQFW0ccHis online presence is forever ruined over a single comment.
I don't think it's ever explained WHY you hold down A. It's because it makes Mario more floaty or something and influences how he controls. Feels like an important thing that should have been properly conveyed.
>>738705592He pretends like it wasn't the best thing that ever happened to him. He was a complete nobody that blew up overnight because of a comment he left on a youtube channel. A youtube channel that itself had no viewers until the 0.5x a press video blew up. It's like his estranged uncle won the lottery, got struck by lightning, then raffled off his inheritance to a random nephew and that's how he became "famous". And he still fucking rides that into the ground to this day.
>>738705672It's explicitly stated near the end of the video that he has to hold A so mario will kick when he presses B. Without that action, it's impossible for mario to start the elevator which takes him to the top of the course.
>>738705672It was mentioned, watch the video
>>738696565They mock him because he told the truth.
>>738705672There are multiple reasons including kicking and falling slowly when you have a wing capWatch the videos
>>738696507>it's lingo that only TAS autists use>yeah well I'm gonna argue that it's wrong anwayWho's the real autist here?
>>738696507>divide button press into three phases>still get half somehow
>>738697931>Shorthand>A-hold is shorter to type
>>738697990After he was likely harassed by a lot of autists, I'd do the same just to get them off my back.
First we put the controller into a black box, and then we hook up a device such that when the device senses the superposition of a subatomic particle, it will either decide to hold the A button, or not hold the A button. Thus the A button can be considered in a quantum superposition of both held and not held.
Im half posting in this thread
>Hey can you press that button>Push the buttonNoone that isnt off the sperg horizon is going to say you didn't press the button because you held your finger on it. Perhaps he should have used a better name? Like holding the jump? Spergs walk a fine line between retardation beyond imagination and genius
I feel like the only reason people are arguing is because they didn't watch for rolling rocks
>>738699449Controllers are binary, it's either 0 or a 1, but the program can detect when the value changes from 0 to 1, or from 1 to 0, and when the value continues to be 0 or continues to be 1, and it can have a different effect for each of those continuous states or state changes. You can even mimic this effect on a hardware level to detect changes in states. You can even have a timer to tell the program how long a button has been held, or not held
>>738711204*No one
>>738711908Thanks, I didn't notice.
>>738699992But if there are indeed three phases, then how can you claim utilizing two of them constitutes "half" of a press? The matter of numbers is not merely ambiguity, but quantifiable and objective. If you want to excuse everything with jargon, then you have no need to defend the point at all.
>>738712226There's actually 4 phases>nothing>press>hold>release
>>738696851I still yearn for that far gone era, I do not care for his fat unfunny friends except Foxen. Song donator memes are essentially gone and troll hacks are far and few. But Im too deep to stop watching now
>>738712226It's literally just shorthand to say "retaining the state from a previous A press". If a level can be beaten in 0.5 A presses, that means it takes 1 A press in a vacuum (because it requires the held state), or 0 presses in a run with at least one other A press.
Lets say it was possible to clear the game in 1 A press at the very beginning, that vod would be "Mario 64 completed in 1 A press". If you broke up that video into the isolated individual levels, they would be considered completed in 0 or 0.5 A presses based on whether or not you had the A button held down upon starting the level, accounting for the distinction. Note that no matter how many levels you cleared in 0.5 presses, taken as a whole they are only 1 A press. TJ """"""""""Henry"""""""""" Yoshi was right.
>>738712591Please, keep explaining the bit in excruciating technical detail all while bitching about the detractors who claim it's a stupid name for technical reasons. It really is as simple as >>738696667 put it, an autist with a poor naming convention.
>>738696507Mario behaves differently when the A button is held down while entering a level. Half-A-presses are only relevant when examining single-level runs, a full game run will always end in whole numbers of A presses. What else would you call a level where you keep the A press held down before you even enter it? It clearly isn't a whole A press, it can only be called a half press.
>>738713621Your mom behaves differently with my cock buried in her too, I would still call her fucked even if I didnt pull out.
