VM PB notes 23:43

Notes for this pb: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/129218549?t=02s

pikachu. wait a little longer. you should get close to 3k, not 2500-2600
practice butterfree? aiming for 3k+ AT LEAST. learn back up butterfrees and learn to know which to go with
kang, snap forward, eevee
memorize menuing. beach menu was all over the place
you can get 22500 out of beach, pb got 21,100. missed 400 on pika, 1k on butterfree, 100 on meowth etc

-.- report T_T

for buzz, you want to wait until you can see him toe to fist, but after that, youll lose size points. you want his entire body in the shot
know when your on the side of the track.... lol. i drift to the right when im throwing apples at buzz, and i do a quick check before i even enter the covered area. not looking forward means not going top speed, which means time loss
practice your magnets dude lol
when menuing, try to find a path where you never have to move more than 1 square. for tunnel, i do the 1st pic, down, up-right, right, right, right, down-left, right, right. in your pb, you could have gone from haunter:down to dugtrio, right to magnemite, right 'ton, up to diglett
practice kakuna. aim for his lower right side, try to get an unobstructed shot of both the back kakunas. you can easily get 4100-4300

on VC, go for the 2 vulpixes (vulpi). on n64 theres more lag, but in wiiuvc, no lag, so more points

If(charmander.InRange == true && AppleShapedPokemonFood.isThrown == true)
{
//magmar will attack charmander; if they are close to each other, stop throwing apples, and just get closer. or throw one to charmander and get the pic fast before he gets hit by magmars blast
}
dont EVER go for the second set of charmanders. trust me

before casually playing it up to the webcam, snap the camera forward....
you can get more points on slowpoke/bro. for slowbro, throw an apple to the right just as hes about to pull up shellder. when he transforms, he'll eat the apple and you can get max points of 4600. for slowpoke, move the second one to the fishing spot and get him whil he's turning around. his pose is omnidirectional and his size is really good if hes like perpendicular to you

if youre goin to go for the 2nd ditto group, try to get 2 ditto, and make sure its at least facing you. you should aim to get 3600+ on ditto(s)
weepingbell moves fast. practice hitting him, otherwise youll lose a lot of good runs

know your points! each pic you submit is a ~3-4 second time loss!!! know how to make up your points in as few pics as possible. This may require some Math mid-run, but it MATTERS, yo!
^ you didnt need geodude
watch some videos on mankey snipes. learn a setup. its a good time save
Make a mental note that you need to PAY ATTENTION after valley points. you have a possible Reapeating text, pokemon report, and level reentry threat, ALL BACK TO BACK. remember, mashing B is SAFE, it advances text boxes, does not repeat text boxes, and does not enter menus (like report/save/courses). if you have to slow down and think about it, DO IT, youll lose so many runs to just mashing wildly

STOP LOOKING AROUND, LOOK FORWARD
i should make a video on how to pass buzz..... watch my pb video though. the setup is easy.
lock the camera forward and boost. look to your right and wait till your across from the particular face of the hill (i think any face works, actually). let go of boost and the camera lock, and just drift to the side. as soon as you hit the wall, snap forward and boost. thats it

OVERALL NOTES:
know if youre on the side of the track or not
know your menuing
make sure you snap forward and lock your camera before you look around at stuff. for example, on psyduck and porygon, you were looking to the side and behind you to line up the shot, but you were just slowing yoursefl down for no reason
youre doing fine, for the most part. just keep playing and youll get the little nuances down
