ComplexPlane SMAL Phase III Plans

The next step for my SMAL grind is to head back to the drawing board and learn a lot of the strats I skimped out on before I got my PB of 31:34. In general I want to focus on learning almost every unique non-pause strat regardless of timesave, but not necessarily every microoptimization, backup frame, or very risky pause strat.

I would also like to maintain world record in Monkeyed Ball SMAL. I think I would cap out at around a time of 23:20, but I'm also just happy with having WR even if it's not that time.

ComplexPlaneBot

This is a bot written in Python 3 by ComplexPlane for the stream! It supports looking up stuff on speedrun.com, some normal stream commands, and hopefully some more cool stuff in the future.

You get a free cookie from me if you can crash it. Feature suggestions are welcome too!

If you want any of these features in your own Twitch chatroom, let me know.

# 28:15 timesaves

~6s on Spinning Top (failed 2nd frame, retry)
~0.75s on Stepping Stones (too far left before first stepping stone, speed bump, got clip)
~3s on Giant Comb (idk how I failed this)
~0.2s on Beehive (slow Alist Beehive)
~0.4s on Arthropod (went off a little early so did slow ending) 
~0.5s on Seesaw Bridges (got 33.63, slow first clip and wide first turn on last seesaw)
~0.6s on Fluctuation (bad bounce pattern)
~0.2s on Punched Seesaws (too deep clip)
