A "half" A press is still an A press

Half press refers to the action of holding A down and not releasing. An A Hold might be a better term. It really is more of a 2/3 action, too.
>Press
>Hold <-- we are here
>Release

ok tj "nigger" yoshi, see you at the scuttlebug jamboree

But what's the context? Doesn't make sense for digital signals either since it's either on or off while analog signals can actually pick up the "half pressed" aspect.

>>715442589
The argument was that a "press" constituted the entire action of engaging the analog signal as well as disengaging it to return to a neutral state, and that it only qualified as "half" because it was engaged but not disengaged.
This is of course silly. Any input is an input.
Besides, he was proven right in the end, there's a genuine no A press run now.

>>715442589
The context is that certain actions occur while holding the button which may enable you to get a star, such as spinning slower in the air allowing you to get more distance or swimming fast. In the case of a half a press, you would round the number up if you were doing a single star a press challenge, but in the context of a 120 star run, you could leech that a press off of a previous one because the action required doesn't require a press but only a hold. Therefore you would round down. Any particular star that can be gotten in "0.5" a presses means that in isolation it would be "1" while in a full run it would be "0"
It's not a difficult concept
Educate yourself

Well you see, the TJ part of TJ "Henry" Yoshi is actually an acronym for "The Joker"
because to The Joker, a half A press is just an A press

this
fuck TJ Henry for being big enough of a retard singularity to draw all attention away from the real nitpick
it was 2/3rds an A press, not a fucking half A press

>>715441787 (OP)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA yourself

>>715442329
>Press a button
>"N-n-no you don't understand it doesn't count as pressing!"
Fucking autistic retard should've just said "press and hold"

>>715442329
>>715443329
The reasoning for the vernacular is explained in the fucking video. If you really want to nitpick, it's a contextual A press.

>tendies not getting to experience pressure sensitive buttons

Lmao, get on the level of fucking sony

Yes Snoy came up with a better and more useful controller feature than nintendo

>A "half" A press is still an A press
If it triggers the button switch, it's technically a full press even if you just pressed it halfway since it triggered the associated action.

ackchyually 4

>pressed
>held
>released
>not pressed

>>715444621
It's an A press in a single level run, since you have to press it to hold it. But it's not an A press in a whole game run cause you can just press A for one of the other required A presses and just keep holding it till it's needed for the one star. It counts half the time so it'a a half A press.
Also he found a way to beat Watch for Rolling Rocks with actually no A presses later on anyhow.

he's right and you all fucking know it, stop being contrarians
