Ninja Track Video Leaderboard | Forums

AJ asked me to analyze the track earlier today, and I do think it qualifies as a Level 1. The 2nd and 3rd obstacles are pretty easy, but it took me a good 10-15 minutes to nail the first one - it's really tough to get both the speed and height to clear that final TNT barrel before the first checkpoint.

Even if the rest of the track is just Extreme, the first obstacle alone is just as hard as the other 1-obstacle Level 1 tracks like Qc's "What The" series, or jhop's Komodo Dragon or Barrels Up.

You disagree?

There's my track, Malachyte. 19.736. Building Site.

I think i played that a while back when you were on my list. Great track. Hope you werent implyin that its a ninja, given that you posted it in this thread.

I think it's just as hard as Komodo Dragon. I also think it's harder than Sulfuric. I can beat that every time with 0 faults, this one I hit the last barrel 3/5 runs.

It didnt even feel like an extreme to me when i played it. I dont have the track anymore, as im always removing them to make room for new ones, but to each their own i guess. That first barrel didnt give me much problem tho, probably nailed it 8/10 times. And the replay makes it look like a medium flow track lol.

Hell i even think Komodo Dragon is harder, and much much harder to get a clean run.

Oh btw, i passed the first 2 obstacles on BOUNCE CHALLENGE with no faults- i even made it look like a speedrun, and finished with 71 faults, i sh*t you not. That third obstacle is tricky, not so much bouncing over the tnt boxes as the wheelie towards the end. My best run is like 10 faults on this but im workin on 0 faultin it...hopefully.

I would love to see that. I originally thought that Bounce Challenge was a Level 3 track because of that last obstacle, but several people thought it was only a Level 2. I moved it, but then a few weeks later I played through it a few more times to see how I really felt about it, and yea the track is pretty short, but it still feels like a Level 3 track to me, so I moved it back.

If you are able to 0-fault it that would be amazing. As of now there are only THREE people who have 0-faulted a Level 3 track (JJtheGerman, NV ii Alex, and myself). It would be awesome if you became the 4th.

BOUNCE CHALLENGE - 47.189 - 8f

Had 3 consecutive runs 0 faultin the first 2 obstacles, but finished with 8 faults on the last run. I hope this isnt one of those tracks that will continue to haunt me...much like Corporate Ladder.

It took me only a few tries to 0 fault this, then i deleted it because i dont like it. I dont think it qualifies as a ninja 1 at all. Its not hard enough. I never plays Qcs What
The series (i dont like any of Qcs tracks at all) but Komodo dragon took me way longer to 0 fault.

IMO if you start adding all of these iffy sort of tracks that are in betweens then were gonna have way too many ninjas on here that arent really hard enough to call ninja.

Idk Mal its up to you but i feel like those in betweens shouldnt be in here.

I fully agree with you, and I've made the same exact argument in the past about cluttering up the leaderboard with these iffy of border-line tracks.

The thing is, this didn't feel like a borderline track to me. I don't suck at Trials... and it still took me a solid 10-15 minutes to just pass the first obstacle on Building Site. Obviously I can't tell you how many faults since it doesn't count at the beginning, but if I had to guess I would say at least 50.

Of course the last two were much easier, but just judging it by that first obstacle it seemed hard enough to me to not be "iffy".

Next time I'm on XBL though I'll give it another try though to see what I think since you found it to be so much easier than me.

Apologies. My bounce challenge time was actually 47.189 I checked again when i got on xbox this morning.

I understand what your saying. I mean its up to you Mal, your the ninja killer haha and you run these leaderboards. So the final decision is on you. Just saying if i was running the leaderboards i wouldnt have this on there.

Side note: 0 faults 52.417 on Ice Cold by BlazingDude123. Can knock off another 5-10 seconds, but will keep this for now. Video tonight hopefully.

HOLY ****!

Malachyte i just looked at the video for eagle step. That is INSANE!!!!

That by far looks like the hardest track like ever created dude holy crap!!!

i think i would fault out on the individual obstacles haha thats insane dude!!!

Edit: Ice Cold 52.417

Edit: 1 fault 1:22:308 on Sadistic. I think i can 0 this (that 2nd obstacle is a *****) so i'll give it some time and if i cant i'll make a vid of this
