How To Turn Around

[@GrannySingaporePVP]

Now I finally understand the 80s hit “Total Eclipse of the Heart.”

[@Vidya_James]

as someone who cares a lot about turning around in video games, this is the exact kind of content I was looking for

[@bewildebeest]

10/10 video, I'd been facing one direction my entire life until now

[@ja-qwellin]

It makes me very happy to see how invested the speedrun community is

[@alexanderb7721]

Instructions unclear. When I tried this I accidentally blackflipped and clipped into my bedroom wall.

[@HapticNoise]

can't wait to forget every bit of this information in ~3 hours

[@dannyb21892]

My brain wiped all of it 0.0001 seconds after clicking render

[@Txrje]

time to quickturn backwalk to the deku tree loading zone ty for the data!

[@Kaztalek]

very useful, this info would've helped me a lot earlier. maybe a bit of an edge case, but I think 1 or 2 of the methods might work differently straight from entering a loading zone with forward speed, since iirc the little run you do at the start has to be canceled first. I didn't bother handling those situations optimally so I could be wrong about that

[@WesleyOMary]

As someone who cares nothing about turning around, the amount of info you spit out and show on screen is the exact thing my brains loves to absorb. I will not use any of this info at any time. But I love the math.

[@Jelster64]

That was excellent. Thank you so much for doing this. I've been in love since the first time I saw Brad get inverted cam out of a roll. The techniques in this video made OoT so much more rewarding to play for me, honestly more so than learning most other tricks, even more difficult ones, because you can use these anywhere, it feels good to pull off and there's little penalty for messing up. Seeing what the tradeoffs actually are is magical. Instantly one of my favorite pieces of OoT documentation.

"How to turn around" may be a joke title, but it was literally me when I fucked up my hip at the gym last year.

[@dannyb21892]

Yikes, sounds shitty. Hope it's better now!

[@grafzeppelin4069]

@@dannyb21892 Yeah, I was basically immobilized for a day, then couldn't even turn in place without severe pain for a week. X-ray came up with nothing and the ortho said to just rest and ice it, gave me a couple exercises, and to start phasing in the treadmill every other day. Took about 3 months to be back to normal.

[@gollumsk8]

great stuff for documenting all of this thank you !

[@Letrictox13]

I like videos like this explaining the mechanics! you should do more like this for other content in the game explaining what ever you want to share :)

[@BouFrostGaming]

This Video made quite a turn

[@Oksana2501]

i wonder if link's turn around frame data will be referenced in his next smashbros moveset

[@Jess3THPS]

neat video to come out on my birthday. thanks dannyb!

[@General12th]

I now understand turning better than I understanding breathing.

[@ericvilas]

Congrats on the #SoME3 video!

[@kenadams2475]

A saved frame is a saved frame, you can't say it's only 0.99

[@Oksana2501]

i feel like he explained what he meant by 0.99 pretty well, but i guess a more easily understood unit type would be a fraction ie. 99/100 frames saved, because over the course of using it 1 frame is guaranteed to have not been saved. with a tech like this which is used over 100 times during a run, although it would be easier to say it saves a full frame, at the 100th turn around the frame count would be off by 1 frame, which is then compounded every subsequent 100 turn arounds are done

[@kenadams2475]

@@Oksana2501 Thank you, I definitely didn't simply make an overused joke and really needed that extra explanation :)

[@dannyb21892]

@@Oksana2501 that's not at all the explanation I gave, but also they were making a joke about half A presses in Mario lol. 0.99 frames saved means that out of all possibilities of distance between you and your destination, you will save a frame in 99% of them. Has nothing to do with sequential backwalks leading to an offset, each one is independent of the last, with the result entirely driven by whatever the distance is between Link and where he's going.

[@Oksana2501]

damn i feel pretty sheepish, sorry for getting all up in your grill man. my b 😮‍💨

[@linkVIII]

nothing you can say will convince me to click off a 12 min video on how to turn around

[@crunchysalmons]

backflick L stick and immediately press Z- target.

[@eyiss7236]

preciate this

[@Boback111]

Turn is money.

[@BaldorfBreakdowns]

Why is there 1080p60, but not 480p?

[@angeldude101]

Ya... the controller inputs to make a character turn around in 1 specific game does seem very boring. The thumbnail got me excited that we might be looking more at how to turn around abstractly in arbitrary 3D environments, which is much more exciting if you ask me. I'm pretty sure you clickbaited me with math just to talk about speedrunning.

[@grafzeppelin4069]

next numberphile video: "How to Turn Around"

[@kaiholeung903]

Yeah you are right, it is really boring😂

[@dannyb21892]

Can't say I didn't warn you!
