What I would suggest first, is to look up how the said controllers look (in case you’re not familiar with them), and refresh your memory about the button layout, because that impacts the way games will react to the remapped Steam controller. We’ve picked some from the most popular ones, and most of them have controls according to what console they’re emulating. Even though it can be random, it is a super fun category and I promise that once you figure out the BLJ's it will be a ton of fun.Buckle up, a longread incoming! In this blog post, we will review ways to use Steam controller with emulators. The BLJ is the hardest part of the 16 star category and it definitely mirrors what rng is like for other games. You can not get them to 100% accuracy so don't let it get you down if you still miss them after practice. They are a glitch that is entirely unintended. I don't believe that there is a perfect method or theory behind it so definitely take the time to watch and learn.Īlso, even the best runners still fail BLJ's. While this idea works for me, there are plenty of video tutorials online that have different methods. Sometimes this will change how Mario and the Geometry intersect and the BLJ may "catch" as I like to call it. If you're long jumping up the stairs and its not working, you can try to move a little bit left or right as you go. Don't quote me on this, but I believe there are 1 - 2 frames during that window where the BLJ will connect properly. My advice is that the first A press should begin as soon as you're about to touch the stairs.
This was probably a total rookie mistake on my part but after figuring this out, I can actually do these semi-consistently. It's specifically the first staircase that I have trouble with.Īny advice is appreciated, but maybe I just need to get good.ĮDIT: I didn't know this when I made this post, but as long as you get enough speed on the stairs, you can just keep jumping once you hit the wall at the top (you don't even need to hit the door, you can clip right through the wall) sometimes it takes a while, but don't just give up on the attempt if you don't instantly clip. (It's also really frustrating as there doesn't seem to be any distinction between what I'm doing when I succeed and fail)Īs a side note I almost always get the second (70 star endless staircase) one in just a couple of attempts and have never been accidentally thrown into WD world. I don't mind putting time into figuring it out if that's what it takes - I've done that already for literally every other part of the run, I'm just concerned that I might be wasting my time using the wrong emulator or something. Is there a different emulator I should be using? I've also heard these are harder to pull off on Project 64. I've looked for any kinds of tips on this and just heard that you need to be lined up properly (Which I'm doing) and some stuff about a "rhythm" which I've tried messing around with and had no luck. I dread getting to this part of the run because even if I've done everything else adequately, this part almost always kills the run by adding 5+ minutes. I can't consistently do the BLJs for 16 star.
