The shot where you see hoothoot's feet

I believe that you were probably talking about a different thing but I will choose to interpret this as a post for Hoothoot 4.

For a long time this was a very consistent shot. You melody Hoothoot at the tree, and 2 other ones fly in and circle around the tree. You simply position yourself to be in the position where the front one is facing you as it passes. Example: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/6/5/8/AASP7CAAC8ZK.jpg

This was unchanged for basically the entire span of the game. However, someone strange happened in December. A player was doing the strat and inexplicably got 950 pose instead of 750. This beat the WR by nearly 100 points even on an otherwise unoptimized shot, just because of extra pose points. He didn't know what he did, and nobody was able to replicate it. A month later, another player also happened to get the 950 pose, pictured here (current WR, beating the previous one):

As of right now only those 2 people have ever gotten the mysterious 950 pose. If we figure out how to get it consistently then there's more room to improve the record, because as you can see even this one is imperfect in places.
