A notable optimisation is the use of neutral joystick input during landing frames to avoid losing speed. It is not applicable to side BLJs though. | A notable optimisation is the use of neutral joystick input during landing frames to avoid losing speed. It is not applicable to side BLJs though. | ||

Ceiling BLJ utilises either a low ceiling or an exposed ceiling. A ceiling both holds Mario in place and cancels his vertical speed. Mario must hit the ceiling on the first quarter-step, so he never moves off the floor. | Ceiling BLJ utilises either a low ceiling or an exposed ceiling.

It is often possible to hit the ceiling for 2 frames during the initial longjump to cancel Mario's vertical and horizontal speed, allowing to start the BLJ much faster. | It is often possible to hit the ceiling for 2 frames during the initial longjump to cancel Mario's vertical and horizontal speed, allowing to start the BLJ much faster. | ||

If you hold A either before the first frame that Mario is able to move, or, if landing from the air, before the landing action has started, then you can (while still holding A) press B to do a buffered kick. If starting from idle, this allows you to choose an arbitrary angle to kick with. Note: a jumpkick (where you press A and B on the same frame, or press B after A) does not allow you to choose an arbitrary angle from idle. | If you hold A either before the first frame that Mario is able to move, or, if landing from the air, before the landing action has started, then you can (while still holding A) press B to do a buffered kick.

This is usually done on the first possible frame after landing, which preserves speed. It is not possible if landing from a longjump. It is also possible from braking, for example a C^ slide. | This is usually done on the first possible frame after landing, which preserves speed. It is not possible if landing from a longjump.

=== Turnaround Speed Preservation === | === Turnaround Speed Preservation === | ||
In cases in which Mario is moving forwards, and his horizontal speed is greater than 48, it can be advantageous to spend some frames in the "turning around" state. This is due to the hard speed limit on Mario's walking speed being 48. In most cases on default flat ground, if Mario's speed is above 52.xx when transitioning to walking, it is advantageous to hold back for one frame, as the deceleration from the turning around state is 4 units per frame. | |||
Example: Mario lands from a dive rollout with 56.87 speed, he enters walking and his speed snaps to 48, and then decreases to 47, 46, 45.... However if he enters turnaround before walking, his speed shall go 56.87, 52.87, 48.87. Once Mario's speed reaches 48.xx, or in some cases slightly above it, it is optimal to begin walking at that frame. | |||

TODO OOB, Walls, Ceilings | TODO OOB, Walls, Ceilings | ||
When Mario initiates flying via the "Flying Triple Jump" action, Mario will reflect off of all Out Of Bounds, Ceilings (when Y speed is negative), and walls (within the wallkickable 44.99 range). | |||
In the following cases, Mario will reflect 180 degrees, and will face and move in the opposite direction: | |||
* Out of bounds | |||
* Ceilings | |||
* Bonking on a wall, but having no wall reference on his 4th quarter step (same logic as when you try and wallkick on a wall but get a "glitchy bonk") | |||
Walls are different, when performing flight reflection using walls, the game takes the referenced wall Mario is interacting with at the end of the frame, and reflects Mario's facing angle according to that. The wall that triggers the flight reflection and the angle reflection do not necessarily have to be the same. This is the same logic as glitchy wallkicks, and can be observed in Cynimal's first place submission in [https://youtu.be/RdjVuuM0Kak?t=260 this TAS Tournament task] | |||
