the rules are you can prb and then jump over the the cloud which is completely un natural and if is considered natural somehow, u still should be able to keep mting as fast as possible for ur times... slowing down ur mts to make sure u dont prb the next corner which is more natural to cut then jumping to the right of the boost ramp is stupid... the whole prb thing sucks... just allow it for everything already, but this track in particular has a stupid rule dont know if anyone else agrees with me but thats my opinion and im entitled to it.

read what i wrote and then u tell me, im pretty sure its about the sg prb rule  

point = inform people it sux

^It is?

Better try to play SG again soon. Then sub 1:12 should be really easy

Last time I tested it (which was quite awhile ago), the fastest strat was jumping over the ramp, followed by going through the clouds, followed by going through the ramp.  Iirc going through the clouds was only slightly faster than going through the ramp.

I think I used to go right of that ramp before I knew about prb.  I don't see what's unnatural about it.  It might be faster to jump over the ramp without prb than it is to go around it without prb, but I could only jump over it like 1/10 times so I just went around it instead.

i never even knew going to that route was faster! what the hell was I thinking! I've been jumping the ramp the whole time!

No, I want my prb times to be the wr's. because thats what they are, wr's.

Then ignore the rules and just play for the fun of it (or just submit to cyberscre). That's what I do and it's fine. The scores here aren't WRs anyway...

I don't get why the PRB rules are considered fair. What's natural and unnatural is entirely opinion, yet you base it on that. You also can't base the PRB rules on WR strategies since many of us aren't even close to that level.

even if jumping the cloud to the right is natural... somehow im not saying it isnt but doesnt seem natural then why should people have to stop mting in order to lose prb to cut the next corner which is more natural? no one has answered that yet.

If they are world records based on the sites rules then that means they are "SITE records" not "World records"

If you can keep up the prb after jumping the gap without taking an awkward route then I'd be interested in seeing a vid of that.  I can't imagine how it would be done.  The way I do it is 1 L MT, then 1 R MT which runs out just about when I jump the gap, and there's no time to do another MT quickly enough to continue the prb.  If you do something like 2 L MTs, then an R MT then I'm pretty sure you'd need to take an awkward route, but as I said, if you don't agree then feel free to make a vid and prove me wrong.

ok i just did it not awkward at all my camera isnt with me atm but i will make a vid of it asap, its easy  as jumping over into a right mt then left left... not hard it would work even better if u could do the first right mt to the right of the first root...

yer, mark its possible to prb that section perfectly natural huh? and then nothing stops u from then snaking the straight and making the shortcut with prb...
