HENRY WAS RIGHT
HENRY DID NOTHING WRONG

Let's be serious now.
When you play games with cutscenes and it asks you to press x to win, you press x and it does its shit. You can keep pressing x or release it, but the outcome doesn't change. That's because the act of pressing a button and releasing a button are two different things. It doesn't say half press x to win, a press is a press, a release is a release, there is no such a thing as a half press.

Can we not
>>333404952
Can we yes
>>333405269
Well said, Henry.
>>333405269
What if you pushed x before it told you and held it down, resulting in the command being cued before the game checks for it? Then, when the game does check for it, the command is read instantly?

It doesn't check if you have X pressed, it checks if you pressed the button when the prompt was made.
Somebody tweet this to Miyamoto so he decides if half an A press counts or not

What the fuck is this
>>333405269
You're missing the POINT of specifying a "half-press."
In the context of a full run of the game, being able to use a previous A press to accomplish something that would otherwise need its own press saves you one press in the overall run of the game.
If they had it skimmed down to only needing 5 A presses, and then figured out a way to get another star only holding a previous press, it would bring the total number of presses down to 4.
It's not its own A press in the frame of a full run of the game because you're just using an earlier press, but in the frame of just the single level you do need to have A pressed. "Half-press" is just the chosen terminology for this specific situation where holding A from earlier saves you one press in the long run.
Does that make sense?

A dude is trying to beat Super Mario 64 in as few A presses as possible. He managed to get a star in an outrageously complex fashion involving such in-depth glitch and physics abuse that it became a meme.
