So what records has everyone, been working on at the moment. I have been trying to best out reality check and unfair bombardment.
Yesterday I was setting times on tracks that I played when I didn't have a perma-connection to Live. So I wanted to get platinum again for Unfair Bombardment, remembering very clearly that it was 36.5s. Now, I still have no idea how you fellas ride over the barrels at top speed http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image.../icon_evil.gif I kept trying and trying to beat 36.5. I got pissed off, took a break for like 5 min, went back and did it in like 5-10 more attempts with a nifty time of Just under 35.5 - personal best!
I occasionally get on and try to take back Weakest Link but i get bored after 5 minutes of Trials. http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...icon_e_sad.gif
I´ve been playing Inferno II, Greatest Hits and Diabolic lately. Did those some time ago so I thought I´m better now.
Improved Greatest Hits and Diabolic pretty well in a short time (Greatest Hits: -13,5sec...) - but both runs are still crap.
Can´t do the Diabolic tire shortcut AND finish the track without crashing either, so I still have to work on this one, too.
New personal bests on all three but not one of those is satisfying... http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...icon_e_sad.gif
container jam, 123rd so close http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...s/icon_eek.gif to top 100 http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...s/icon_eek.gif
I play alot of tournaments these days, senior circut, nervous breakdown and fantasy cup.. I suck http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...icon_e_sad.gif Those tounaments are having an effect on my amount of hair! Dammit!
latest are about 60th on underwater and house of horrors but ive got lots to do with big thrills yet http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_neutral.gif
Step 1: Have your momentum built up prior.Quote:

Step 3: Be on a perfect run
Step 4: Hit the drop down
Step 5: Allow a random plank to come crashing down into a barrel next to you
Step 6: Rage quit
Step 7: Complain on the forums about how random 95% of physics objects are
Step 8: Be called a noob that has no idea what he's talking about for stating the truth
Step 9: Rinse and repeat steps 1-8 until you pull it off
Step 10: Pull it off
Step 11: Phantom Replay
Step 12: Be called a cheater and a loser for "hacking" trials
Step 13: Quit Trials
Step 14: Change your name to a japanese wanna-be name and start crying
^ maybe just take steps 1 and 2 http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...s/icon_lol.gif
Yeah there's a bit of randomness in some of the physics sometimes! But 95%? WHATEVER N00B
Mainly I've been playing the extremes for consistency and comfort, slowly preparing for no-fault runs on Midnight Club and Nervous Breakdown. Definitely taking my time though! Seems to be a good approach for building consistency. I figure it's also a decent interim step before going for better times on those tracks, since one of the things I hate the most about making speed run attempts is how it turns into grinding when you don't really have all the little steps down yet. I'll get that one amazing run but make one big mistake, then spend the next hour in vain trying to reproduce it. ugh
I've come really close a couple times to breaking into the < 1 minute club on Going Up recently, but that's about it for new times for me.
Still looking for a reason to get back and play again. http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_redface.gif
Have been playing alot of customs lately, but of the in-game tracks I'm still working on BFTP.
Been a while since I tried though - I get tired of being caught up in nothing (literally) at the tripple pieces of round wood, right after the U-shaped obstacle. That's confusing and annoying, and I have no idea how to avoid it consistently. http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...e_confused.gif
I've gone back to KOTH, and since I hadn't played it since last year, my rank had crept up to 800+, so I played it for a couple days and shaved 7 secs off so I'm down to 43.xx secs on it now, I know I can still do it faster tho, and since I only ended up with around a 270ish rank on it, I probably will have another go at it at some point.
Foundations is a fun track, I've been playing it for the past week also, and this morning I shaved another 1.2 secs off, and I got a rank of #39 on it.
Other tracks I've been playing lately are: Vertigo, Chains of Despair, Barrel of Laughs, and King of the Spill, and I keep beating each of hem, but only in small increments, and I know I can do better yet.
Got 92nd on container jam http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image.../icon_cool.gif And I will keep working until im top 75 http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_twisted.gif
Ok Kyoshi, I'll work on each of those 14 steps http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...s/icon_lol.gif I think I'll start in reverse order http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image..._e_biggrin.gif
KO, I know what you're talking about. It's annoying http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image.../icon_evil.gif
Zoidberg, congrats man, that's a difficult track to get under 100. But don't let your higher ambitions consume you http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...s/icon_eek.gif
I probably wont play it again, maybe Ill find another track to play for days http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image.../icon_razz.gif
I work on whatever people challenge me at. Nova here and one of my other buddies symetric just challenge me on tracks here and there and i try to beat them and usually do!! http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image..._e_biggrin.gif
I just play EVERYTHING!!!
Last track I put a few runs into was Trials and Tribulations... Next time I fire up Trials, I think I will get a top ten on it.
been failing at improving my world championship time for a while but got 9th on it yesterday. also improved my groundhog begins and returns (edit: and forever) times http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image.../icon_cool.gif
Finally took the time to play Blast From the Past...Down to 115th but a very sloppy run. Needs much work.
Just got my Reality Check time down, still can improve by a second easily, it's just getting that hop on the board at the en now, rank 13, wooop wooop!
I just destroyed my score in the mountain climb, and with the help of beating around 6 or 7 track times by decent amounts getting my ranks in the 100'2 ans 200's, i finally upped my global rank to 38!!!!!!!!!!!1
Only 2,000 points away and ill be 37 woo woo!!!!!
That is beast dude I will have to get a 0 fault run on midnight club now.
Got 28th on laser tag. I kind of want to get top 20 at least. Im finding hard tracks are my "Specialty" atm(As in Im doing good on them) http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_mrgreen.gif
Yea and that should probably put you ahead of me. I kind of want to work on that as well. I got my 2 faults both on inferno, so if i just step my game up on that i should be good to get 0 faults and hopefully shoot up in the ranksQuote:

Just kidding, but anyway, im rnked 37 now, now going for 36
I'm still working on BFTP. I've made some progress on consistency for the last trick, so maybe one day I'll get a smooth run for every obstacle http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...s/icon_lol.gif
Willyumz, 9th on World CHampionship?! Wow, you are a top magician http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...s/icon_eek.gif
well thanks, and ill have you on bftp some day http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...con_e_wink.gif
not really anything big for me. alot of people i know play trials too so theres alot of competition and battles between us. one of my friends finally bought the game (hes pretty good at it cuz hes played it before) and beat me on some tracks i hate. another one of my friends passed me up on global(nondlc) leaderboards too. so i retook my scores back and passed up both of them. its more for local bragging rights
Stickz, with your great attitude, you will become better and better. I've heard it from heaps of people: "I never thought I'd become this good". That's the magic of Trials. I'm glad you're on my FL.
Willyumz, you make me smile. I will defend my time, Just so you know; I will make you work hard on what sounded to me like a promise. http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image.../icon_razz.gif
EDIT: Bring it on!!
thank you for those kind words http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_mrgreen.gif
i know i will get better and better. dont expect me to jump from 3000 to 200 over night like you did though http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...s/icon_lol.gif
Hmm...i think ill jump in this competition. See if i can get yall on BFTP. http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image.../icon_cool.gif
I played BFTP last night... same old story: I get a few decent runs and screw up the last trick http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_redface.gif
Just got a decent run on Diabolic and Groundhog Forever...Could clean them both up a lot. I'll get around to it eventually again.
1:17.XXX on BFTP. http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_twisted.gif Bring it on! I flooded Willyumz's inbox in delight. http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image..._e_biggrin.gif
Willyumz, did you think I was going to stay on 1:24.XXX? I know you can beat that time, but now things are interesting! http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image.../icon_cool.gif
I improved my Weakest Link time but still could not take first. I liked my old run better, but whatever. Not gonna stop til i get it under 29 secs.
I got rank 16 on reality check yesterday. Pretty ****ty run though, dont know how i got ranked that high. Going to try and improve and get top 10 hopefully. And only 2k points away from rank 36 woo!!!
The only in-game track I've been workin on lately is Dreamscape. I've had maybe 5 runs or so where I am ahead of Slinky at the last checkpoint, but I just can't seal the deal http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...icon_e_sad.gif . That last shortcut is brutal!
Ive been doing work on smelting hazard top 50 hehe http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...s/icon_lol.gif and Brown boxes ranked in the top 200 http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image...on_mrgreen.gif I think i can still do a lil better though http://forum.redlynx.com/forum/image..._e_biggrin.gif
Do it man!Quote:
