Straining is when | '''Straining''' is a technique that Mario can use at any point while in [[Air action|midair]]. By moving the joystick while in midair, Mario can affect his position, but not his [[speed]]. | ||
==Technical explanation== | |||
If Mario is in midair, his [[intended yaw]] can affect his position. The effect is much greater when the intended yaw matches his [[facing yaw]]. [[STROOP]] has a tool for matching these, and there is also a [[Mupen64#Mupen64-Lua|Lua script]] for doing this. | |||
==Uses== | |||
Although technically straining is always in use while in midair, there are times when it is very important. | |||
* While building speed in a [[Pedro spot]] or via [[Hyperspeed Grinding]], Mario may need to strain in order to avoid breaking free prematurely. This sacrifices some of his speed. |
