Pillarless: A Comprehensive Tutorial

Alright, so you want to learn pillarless, or pless. This video’s gonna go in-depth explaining the ins-and-outs of the trick, detailing how it works, the steps to perform the trick, some general explanations on how the trick functions, and pointers on common mistakes I’ve made while learning this trick that might help with execution. On top of this, I will be explaining every individual version of pillarless, including the OG beginner pless strat, the intermediate single jump strat, and, tama pillarless.
This is my first attempt at creating a youtube video of any kind, using editing software I'm unfamiliar with, all done in two very sleep-deprived nights, so if I made any mistakes that weren't caught during editing, please let me know so I can make corrections.
That all said, I hope this helps, and again, if you need further help, I'm Metroid Hyperfixator in the SM64 Speedrun Discord, shoot me a message there. You can also find me at www.twitch.tv/... assuming I'm actually live.

I'm having a problem doing the hands-free part, when I go over the hill and press down right and a and b at the same time, I do the dive but the bomb just stays on the hill, pls help

[@prismatic_fast1990]

Sorry for the late reply, hopefully you figured it out but my guess is you're pressing A before pressing B without realizing it and dropping the bomb without diving (i had this issue a lot at first, it's easy to press A with your thumb while trying to press both) but if that isn't it and you're still having trouble, dm me a recording of your gameplay, preferably with inputs, and i can get a better understanding of what's going wrong. You can find me in the mario 64 speedrunning discord server; link to the server is in the description, name in there is Metroid Hyperfixator.
