    (Don't take this personally, I'm just offering constructive criticism). It might've seemed like the commentation failed because you talked about really obvious things. You're so good that I think a ton of people would benefit if you talked about strategy and technique. For example:

    On Goin' Up, at the drop part, you said this: "Then just go down here and bounce off the wooden ramps." Well yes, that's what you do, but maybe you could've said like "Right here, it's probably unwise to take the drop shortcut. The second or so you would save is not worth the high chance of faulting, which you do not want to do at this point." Although, I know is difficult to commentate, especially since you blaze through the tracks so quickly you have little time to think of what to say and to say it
    I agree with you that the commentary pretty much failed. But it's kind of hard for somebody who just blasts through the tracks to tell somebody else what to do. I would have most likely described it like that:,, Go over that obstacle, then over this obstacle, pass this obstacle and you reached the end. Congratulations!" Comparing it to an FPS commentary, I have to say that this was/ is way harder.

    Doesn't matter what you do JJ, you still suck for ignoring all my messages and FR.

    Oh wow... can't wait for the video to load

    My best is 5 faults. And to me that was hard AS. Come on... load already lol...

    That was a sick run. I didn't know one could clear the hole at the end of greatest hits.

    Re: The Midnight Club tournament!

    straight into my favs

    my nearest colleague just made me laugh of myself

    she - why your mounth is so wide open ?
    me - come and watch you'll understand

    i've been working on it for a good week 2 hard hours a day and made countless of 7-10 faults runs and have gave it up because of big thrills.

    now that i've pretty decent times on all new tracks, i think it's time to come back to the real challenge

    BTW it looks like you 0-fault midnight club everyday before breakfast

    A-W-E-S-O-M-E JJ

    ps

    are you confident because you know all tracks very well or do you have a way to control your nerves ..... i'm really wondering

    Re: The Midnight Club tournament!

    I was in the exact same position, Jinchu. Seriously, if you can 7 fault Midnight Club, then you can do it... if you can master your nerves.
    Nervousness was the biggest problem I had on Midnight Club and Nervous Meltdown. There is something about doing a long tournament run that gets my heart beating like crazy when I get a good run. My guess is that players like JJtheGerman are so good at the game that they get less nervous, but I think most people do get nervous on these tournament runs and that's (partly) why you see a low success rate

    Good luck!

    at starfire : i will convice myself it's just easy as that

    if it doesn't work, i will have to take something tranquilizing (some drugs, or pure malt???? heheheh)

    even the nervous breakdown doesn't affect me like this one. weird ;;;;

    good luck to everybody still trying to get it (i know you're a LOT)

    Re: The Midnight Club tournament!

    I personnaly have tried two approaches for tournaments: the slow and steady one or the all-out-hardcore-speedrun-each-track-to-keep-focus one.

    The first approach obviously works well on long tournaments as far as points for the leaderboard are concerned, but it's not so great to get platinum medals.

    The second one works great for short tournaments or tournaments that regroup tracks you are confortable with.

    My main problem with Midnight Club is that Diabolic and Brown Boxes are riddled with plywood, which I hate since no two jumps are the same. Luckily Diabolic is the first on the list.
