Title: 1 AF Point
Post by Shock on 03/20/12 at 11:32:10

After a very dedicated couple of weeks on my part this month, I have reached the point where every PR that is a gain on the charts for me will be cutting into what remains of Seb's lead: 1 AF point. Every player I pass on the charts is now especially significant as his lead falls into the 0.xxx range.

http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/636/1afb.png

^ This is the good news for me. In 2-3 weeks, I have cut an entire AF point on Seb already, as well as scored several Site Records. The bad news is that progress will probably be quite a bit slower now, as every time on my sheet is within the top 10. It is really exciting and motivating to be this close though to the title of Site Champion. :)

I will update and post my PRs in this thread now I think, so I can keep a more memorable record of this final push to rank of #1.

Players to pass:

80  (3/20/2012)
75 (3/21/2012)
53 (3/22/2012)
49 (3/23/2012)
25 (3/27/2012)
4 (4/6/2012)

Great work thus far Shock. Problem of course is that most of Seb's low scoring comes on individual tracks, like RBC3 flap, which you've obviously already exploited - now it's time to beat him in more head-to-heads. I think you can do it: you've already started exploiting tracks that should've been beaten a while ago with proper stategising and ZZMT use (RDP2 course, RBC3 course) and there's a few more I reckon you can grab without massive hassle (might be biased here but I think BC4 and RMC2 course are for the taking). Then it's down to the hard graft of improving every track again by small increments, but them's the efforts a champion has to strive toward. Do it!

Post by KVD on 03/20/12 at 11:50:08

I have faith that you will at least beat Seb, it's only a matter of time if you ask me.  8-)

But I'm hoping you can do 1 better and (eventually) beat T's more or less well established timesset (not the ones he's been posting after his departure  ::)).

Really great to see man [smiley=beer.gif] I hope you will be able to keep this sort of PRing up, because especially I know how it is when you beat one PR after another and the next day(s) you can't do a single improvement, or come even close to your times. It's all about patience now. I know you want that title as fast as possible, but especially this feeling will cause you to fail... just don't aim too much for this, PR like you did before, without much pressure. I wish you the best of luck :)! And I think Seb won't have a problem with the guy who will pass him this time...

Title: Re: 1 AF Point
Post by Shock on 03/21/12 at 19:48:16

Wow. Thanks for all the support and optimism!

Yes, I plan to just keep focusing on getting 1 PR at a time. Much like playing in the finals in a tournament, it does no good to think about how close you are to winning the prize. You still have to perform play by play, just like practice. And of course, I'm going to continue to try to have fun while doing all this overthrowing Seb "serious business" stuff. :D

Got a couple PRs tonight, just a little frustrated with RVL2. I have crashed a couple 7"9x, 7"2x, 7"2x runs by hitting those ice blocks or falling in the water, or majorly slowing down by trying to go over a gap just a little too wide. Annoying.

RRR flap: 12"10 (#9 -> #5)
RVL2: 40"50 (#9 -> #8)

3/22/2012:

BC4: 1'35"35 (So many mistakes... lol)  (#3 -> ... #1?! What the fuck? :o )

Title: Re: 1 AF Point
Post by .Hahaae on 03/21/12 at 21:51:54

Title: Re: 1 AF Point
Post by Shock on 03/22/12 at 09:28:21

A bit frustrated this morning with my inability to PR for 2 hours on either SL flap or RVL2 5lap. Still, I played some RCI2 randomly and improved:

RCI2: 50"16 -> 49"40 (#6 -> #3)

Title: Re: 1 AF Point
Post by Dused on 03/22/12 at 10:14:12

Noooo, Boom3r ftw. ;D He only needs to play one track to cut a good amount of his AF, but that won't happen.

Probably by about the time of the next news update: a time unpredictable and seemingly infinitely far in the future. :D

Haha, I kid. I just got a couple more PRs:

RVL2: 39"85, 5"00

Time to try to improve that BP flap. If I do, all my times will be ranked 7th or better. Then it's probably time to compare Seb's sheet with my own and try to beat him in a few head to heads where my times are currently close to his.

Edit: (I've now made a 60 standard cut since the last time the charts were zeroed, as well as passed 91 players for what will almost certainly be the last time I see a -1.xxx cut for myself on the charts. It barely feels like a year ago when I was making 10.xxx cuts haha.)

Edit again: Done. BP flap - 12"71


More PRs:

RDP3: 1'00"66
BC4 flap: 30"08

... and I think I'm calling it a night. 7 PRs today! :D

Its rather amazing watching just how fast you've climbed (I might not post or play anymore but I still watch the ranks / activity).

Best of luck taking #1 from Seb, maybe we'll finally see him come back after all this time and we can see some real competition for the #1 spot.  :)


Title: Re: 1 AF Point
Post by Shock on 03/24/12 at 15:16:09

RGV2: 48"68
RVL1 flap: 5"09

Played about 2 hours today just to get these times. It was a bit frustrating as both PRs were also minimal gains. I also need to focus and study for a test on Monday. So, it's probably going to be a while yet before I start getting truly close to Seb. I did get under 3 AF points today though; it's been a long road to finally reaching a score this low, and I'm enjoying just seeing all the highly ranked times on my sheet. They all tell a little story in a sense - hopefully I can continue "writing"!  :)

Title: Re: 1 AF Point
Post by Shock on 03/25/12 at 08:23:30

Finally, got 4"99 on the flap on RVL1! (Christophe would approve - this is a sub after all! :D)

Edit: RGV1: 40"71, barely clips Seb and brings me under 0.5 AF points away from him overall! Also, that's my 50th God in this game, woohoo!

Title: Re: 1 AF Point
Post by Shock on 03/27/12 at 14:28:08

^ I'm having a rough time at the moment making big cuts. The times that are lower ranked on my sheet are not ones I'm having an easy time improving, but yes, I'm getting closer. Less than 0.4 AF to go now. :)

SGB flap: 12"57 (useless)
RCI2 flap: 6"53 (I thought it wasn't possible to get this time? I'm confused. There was a 3 way tie for 4th previously with times of 6"55, Seb has 6"54, so I thought I wouldn't be able to get 6"53. But it's on my GBA flashing bright and clear right now.  :question )

Edit:

After several PRs and WRs today, including:

SGB: 45"56 (WR)
SG: 44"31 (WR)
SGB flap: 12"57
RBC2 flap: 14"80
RDP3 flap: 9"10 (SR, WR?)
RDP3: 1'00"18
RCI2 flap: 6"53

I am finished. 25 players to go to tie Seb for #1 on the site...

Title: 4 more to go!
Post by Shock on 04/06/12 at 19:13:51

Four more players to go! (Not counting the hoarded times that I know Ethan has...)

Tonight, I got these in the car... 2 are WRs, but I wasn't able to record them as they were, afterall, achieved while on the road. Bumps and turns and everything.

RR flap: 10"43
RGV3: 56"86 (WR)
RGV3 flap: 7"97 (WR)
RRR flap: 12"03

The RGV3 had 1/3 gap hops, and on the road I failed 2 runs that were 2/3, albeit a bit sloppy nonetheless. The RGV3 flap looked pretty similar to Mick's almost 1 year old WR, except I started it with the remnant of an MT and fired the third shroom immediately after landing from the second shroom. The last turn was wide though.

RRR flap came in a surprisingly short amount of time, probably within 10-15 attempts. The RR flap though took a while and is still not ranked very well (to my standards).

I plan to grab the RKB2 WR sometime, as I've failed several excellent runs there recently, then I want to pass those 2 players hundredths of a second faster than me on RBC2. If successful on both, that will be 4 players passed. At that point I will be tied with Seb for the crown, unless Ethan submits his hoarded PRs, in which case I am considering making a hammering attempt on RR course.

Very, very close!  [smiley=beer.gif]

Title: Re: 1 AF Point
Post by NMeade on 04/06/12 at 20:39:39

You're right there man, literally it's right there. You can make that extra final push to reach the crown, and even after you claim it, you shouldn't stop now, keep going while you're hot and increase your gap in the process. Your progress is simply incredible, at times makes me want to try an attempt at the top in my own game again... good luck with your improvements, you're in front of the crown and it's yours to take; go get it.

Shock, really great progress, especially in a car... I know myself how hard it is to play in a car, because of all the shakes of the road you sometimes miss specific precise corners and such things... but setting even a WR in a CAR! This is one of the things that impress me again and again. You're definitely worth it to pass Seb, and probably even able to reach the 1.xx's.

As for the KB2 WR; I know what you mean, on KB2 you can almost never reach your best splits in one single run... I had splits for a sub 42 when I played the last time in October. I hope you can reach this :)!

Post by Shock on 04/09/12 at 12:47:33

After tying my PR of 1'23"68 from a hit wall and resulting missed MT, I PRed with 1'23"63. That's enough to reach and pass Seb according to the charts and the latest times update. I'm only ahead by 1 though and Ethan I think has a RR flap that beats mine but not Seb's time. So, of course, time to keep going for PRs...

Nonetheless though, my name is currently at the top of the charts, I am the new site champ! :D

I will open a donation fund for Seb to come back, money always works as motivation!

So send me your bank accounts, I will guarantee 100% that I will give the money to seb!

After I took 50% for all my efforts

this was ofc just kidding I hope no one takes that seriously...inb4 I get some bank accounts

Don't party poop  :P Congrats Andy & go for Fenner's (hypothetical) AF next  ;)


I made a quick calculation, if Terrence was still on the site, the avg.fin top would look like this:
1: Terrence Fenner   2,425
2: Sebastian Stellmacher     3,1
3: Andy Lundeen     3,1125

Only 55 AF points left to become the undisputed mksc champ!  :)

Thanks everyone, feels good to be sitting at the top of the charts. :) (Now I feel freer to concentrate on specific courses for long periods of time too...)

I'd also like to apologize for abusing the time updating system; I was sincerely not aware that it was a problem until Zwiebel mentioned complaints he was getting over PMs. I didn't think it would be an issue given it happened in MKWii by multiple updaters and complaints were rare. Anyway, before I update my own from now on I'll make sure everyone else's times are updated first.

Congrats Andy, truly a huge achievement!  ;)

Amazing to see your progress over the last 1.5 years, you have truly come quite a long way from where you started. I used your times as references to try and beat back in 2010 when I had some interest in the PP times, but you're a level ahead of me now.  ;D

Might try to give you and Chris a run for your money later on this year (if I can ever cut that .7xxx AF graveyard between Mander and I -- this is very hard because anything outside top3 or so just doesn't cut it now, and getting top3 on SC charts is a bitch, not to mention I'm practically max'd out).

Sorry, I sent in my 10"40 RaR flap... but I may try to beat Seb there this week so I can bring his AF down some too.  [smiley=happy.gif]

After tying my PR of 1'23"68 from a hit wall and resulting missed MT, I PRed with 1'23"63. That's enough to reach and pass Seb according to the charts and the latest times update. I'm only ahead by 1 though and Ethan I think has a RR flap that beats mine but not Seb's time. So, of course, time to keep going for PRs...

Nonetheless though, my name is currently at the top of the charts, I am the new site champ! :D

Congratulations!
You finally did it  :)  [smiley=beer.gif]

Major congrats Andy.

Now please give SMK a try. If you were livin' in France I'd have lent you a SNES and a SMK to see what your level could be there.

Please bother to read other posts than the opening post in a topic before making your own post - Shock/Andy has already been #1 for quite some time now.

Bumping this since it is on a similar significant moment in my MKSC career...

After submitting my RKB1 (28"35) and RaR (34"85) times today, I am the first player to achieve Myth or better on all courses and flaps, my ARR score dropped under 0.500, and my AF is now a bit over a full AF point ahead of Seb's as this thread approaches its one-year mark (in another way of thinking, I've had a 70% AF cut this year so far, and in 2011-2012 I had approximately a 90% AF cut).  [smiley=beer.gif]


Seb please come back...

That's crazy man! Congratz! I've actually been wondering for a while now if you'd manage to do that, awesome to see you pulled it off!

About that. What the fuck with the standards? "Hmm, let's make the myth 28"40, Myth D is "30, C is "20, B is "10, A is "00, and what about GOD... 27"50 would probably be good and challenging. Actually let's make it 27"00."  :-?

Iirc, this was done because karterfreak (Ellis) already was in 27" area, while the rest was well above 28". They didn't want to start the standards with someone already having a God time, and that's why they made it 27"00.

Missed it I think by a day, but it's been a year since this. I hope that this next year will hold the introduction of a competitor: Ethan McCormac. (Or maybe an active Mickael Smolen?  ::) ) Well, even if Ethan doesn't get tremendously close, it would be interesting to have an active #2 competitor on the page. :)


And let's not forget about our dark horse, Mr. Nosey...

Post by .Hahaae on 04/11/13 at 14:00:05

It's possible. I find that getting top5 ranks is pretty easy now, though it will boil down to whether or not I have the motivation to get #2. I know I can beat Seb as well, but it's just so boring to play with PP rules IMO.
