GDQ inspired me to finally sit down and learn some of the more advanced movesets in Super Mario World. I've had an awareness of many possible things but I've never actually put hands on a controller and tried to execute some stuff. Dropping into something like Kaizo Mario World cold with no real practical knowledge of what to do is a bit daunting. Fortunately NeXuS15 put together the Learn 2 Kaizo hack which breaks things up so each level is a single trick to learn and after going through a few it gives you a test with all the things you learned combined into a larger level.
I just wrapped up the first test and the ramp up has felt really solid. The section I got the most hung up was the screenshot below. It was tricky to figure out how to maintain the horizontal momentum needed to make the timing window. At first I thought you had to jump at the very last pixel and was worried maybe some lag in my setup was going to make it incredibly difficult but fortunately it is much simpler than it seems.
Playing this has also really underscored how big of a difference Mario Maker is in the specifics and minutia of SMW. If you've ever considered jumping into the weird world of SMW hacks this looks like a pretty good way to get your feet wet.
