Title: Everything LC
Post by wildmushroom on 01/20/04 at 12:20:06

Hi guys this is my first post on the board. I'm Tory Waters, maybe you've noticed me around the top on the LC times. Well right now that track is my main focus and I'm just wondering if anybody who has faster than a 1'19'360 3-lap or 25'714 flap (my PRs right now) has any tips (or vids) at all that'd be great.

My strat right now for 3lap is...
Left-facing MT right after the start.
Left-facing MT after hitting the ground, then 2 right-facing MTs, the 2nd one released after landing on the shortcut route.
Left-facing then right-facing MT on the shortcut path.
3-4 MTs around the big turn (not sure if its faster or not to do 4, but I usually try for 4)
Land off the boost into a left-facing MT, then another left-facing MT and 2 right-facing MTs up the hill.
Two left-facing MTs, then hold 1 around the turn and release it before the finish line.
Same for 2nd and 3rd laps, except using a shroom around the last turn.

Flap, same as 2nd and 3rd laps above except use the first shroom across the grass at the beginning to cut onto the shortcut path.

Any help at all is appreciated! Thanks.

I don't have MSN and I don't really wanna get it. :-/

Any other way you could get the vid to me or does anyone else have it?

I'm also curious as to what characters+kart you guys use...I use Baby Mario and Baby Luigi in Barrel Train.

I use the Baby Marios in Barrel train. My strat was almost exactly the same as yours and our times are similar too. I have the vid too but it's too big for e-mail I think (7mb). Do you happen to have AIM then. If yes, my name there is TuomasDunk.

And why don't you want to get MSN? I think it's good and it doesn't take much space on your hard drive. Well, if you decide to get MSN, my address is tuomasdunkel_at_hotmail_dot_com

I use the same amount of MTs in the same directions that you do (I have 1'18'8 and 25'4).

Except, I only do 3 MTs on the turn after the chomp. I take that turn very much like the big chomp turn in Mario Circuit: when I MT right-facing onto the turn, I start veering hard left for a little while before starting to slide to do an MT.. my speed stays at 58-60 during this time, rather than 57 while sliding.

As for the 3 MTs.. they just have to be really really close to the sand! Expecially if you want < 25'4 fast lap. You definitely need a ghost here for flaps, because it's hard to tell when you make up or lose time on your ghost on this very corner.

Also, for the shroom, you should be glued to the wall the entire time, right?

Title: Re: Everything LC
Post by wildmushroom on 01/20/04 at 18:14:14

Yeah Alex I try to stick as close to the wall as possible...but do you take as much of the wall as you can with the shroom, like you head for the curve straight on and try to get as much of the wall as possible, or do you swerve out to the right on the track and take less of the wall at more of an angle?

Maybe it doesn't matter but it seems like it might make a little difference to me.

Alright I'm up to 1:19:136...and 1:18 is definitely in reach. Should get it within the next few days. Thanks for the help guys. I still want that 1:18:5 vid. :)

I'll revive my own topic from the dead in order to celebrate my new 1:17:887 3lap and 25:282 flap! ;)

I also got my 3lap on tape and my dad's taking it to his work to digitize it, so it should be online in a day or two.

Bringing my old topic back...I'm now down to 1:17:321 and 25:101 but I am totally stuck. My best splits are 26:3, 25:4, 25:4 and I can get those pretty consistently but I just can't seem to get lower....I do exactly what Bhoja does in his vids but it doesn't seem to get the same results. ANY advice at all anyone can give me...help please!

Yeah, same with me, Penev watched my 26.4xx first lap 0-shroomer that I uploaded and told me where my mistakes were, and I fixed them, and now my best first lap 0-shroomer is down to 26.2xx, and I have no idea how Bhoja is going so much faster since I have exactly the same strat as him. Maybe I should record a 26.2xx lap and get Penev to watch that.

You'll be happy to know that i now have a 1:16:352 on video very soon when i capture it. The laps are very good too 25:900(0 shroom) 25:175 25:277.

The last lap was ok but i was panicing because of the previous 2 laps :). But i managed to get a decent last lap.

Title: Re: Everything LC
Post by Vincent_Zee on 07/08/04 at 22:09:10

you call that decent, I am stuck with 25.5 1 shroomers, and best 1st no shroom = 26.3, just like Tori

By the way i forgot to give advice, but all I can say is just keep copying what I do and eventually you'll start to hit better laps. From my experience I used to be like how do you get that kind of lap, but after a month or so you will get it. Just don't give up :).

Title: Re: Everything LC
Post by Prashant Bhoja on 07/08/04 at 22:12:01

When i mean decent I'm comparing to my average lap time, so when i mean decent it is clsoe to my average but slower than it. My average is about 25:230 ish. :)

If it's too me I used Microsoft Frontpage to create it, so I dont know any of the code to put the sound on it, Frontpage just sorted it out for me :). The clock i got the script from a "How to build a Website Page" you can find it easily on google, I dont rememebr the url :(. Or you cna just nick it from my site if you want by right clicking and view source but then you'll have to figure out whats what. :)

Thanks

Hmm, did you ever see your page in e.g. firefox, mozilla etc.?
Als this "Frontpage stuff" only works in IE, so when using a different browser the page doesn't look so well :-/

Frontpage = bad

Microsoft web products are not W3C friendly and are only suited to work in Internet Explorer. Download/purchase Dreamweaver by Macromedia.

I got that program too, but I'm figuring out how to use it.
