GOOD PATHS: - Path 1: Same, but turn 4 tiles early before Weedle Guy (Poison Sting is on 4th frame) - Path 2: Same, but turn 2 tiles early before Weedle Guy (Poison Sting poison on 4th frame) - Path 3: Same, but turn + A press 1 tile early before Weedle Guy - Path 4: Same, but turn + A press 1 tile early before Weedle Guy (Poison Sting is on 4th AND 5th frames) - Path 5: Same, but turn 4 tiles early before Weedle Guy (Poison Sting is on 4th frame) - Path 6: Same, but turn + A press 2 tiles early before Weedle Guy, then A press again on the second turn (Poison Sting is on 3rd or 4th frame) FINDING A GOOD PATH: - Use IGT frame 01 - Check in this order: > 1 tile early (turn) > 1 tile + early A press > 1 tile + late A press > 2 tiles early (turn) > 2 tiles early + early A press > 2 tiles early + late A press > 3 tiles early (turn) > 3 tiles early + early A press > 3 tiles early + late A press > 4 tiles early (turn) > 4 tiles early + early A press > 4 tiles early + late A press > 1 tile early + both A presses > 2 tiles early + both A presses > 3 tiles early + both A presses > 4 tiles early + both A presses - A usable cluster is 3+ consecutive frames with String Shot, or SS fail/PS/SS fail - Once you've found a usable cluster, check IGT60 METHOD: - Perform manip on BGB as demo file for 15 possible frames (5 paths x 3 end-text-box frames) - Play demo file on all 60 IGT frames (900 total) - Record results - Make "Forest manip" chart that includes instructions for each of the 6 paths > TW: Tail Whip immediately > TW 1-2: Tail Whip immediately only if you hit one of the first 2 frames > Wait: Waste a few frames before Tail Whipping - RTA strategy: Try to hit the nickname frames that give the most String Shots - Alternatively, make new movement paths that allow for "TW" or "TW 1-2" on the bad nickname frames INSTRUCTIONS: - Don't get Weedle Guy Potion - Hold nothing during "Hey, wait up! What's the hurry?" - Clear the above text box with B as soon as possible, but don't mash - Hold A or B during "BUG CATCHER wants to FIGHT!" and "Go! A!" - Frame perfectly use Tail Whip (easy with practice) - Aim for a cluster of String Shot frames using the chart below (if none exist, just try to avoid the Poison Sting frames) PATH FRAME (estimate) TURN 1 OUTCOME RNG 1 2 3 4 5 6
