maybe you lose time , and your strat is not the best , but anyway taking the shroom here increase your successrate of passing the gap and then give you more chances of establishing a good record than a bunch of other people , in the end you can take advantage of this by earning a few ranks and passing a few players in the process... i think your strat is not fair even if it's not the best strat.

I think there is enough technicality (by that word , i mean that this gap slide isnt much based on the luck) in this gap slide, so that we can forbid the shroom here, the slide without shroom is doable , i think it need more practice yeah but could be really more doable than the GV platform jumps of SMK PAL for instance

gap slide here can be similar to the VL2 island jumps in SMK PAL
but yeah i know that when we have to suceed 3 laps in a row with the gap slide without shroom , it can be really a pain.

but personally i have no problem with that strat rule, not much difficult than hirano 's RR strat  

I spent TWELVE minutes writing that post, and it's like you never read it. It's so stupid!

Seriously, though.
I'd appreciate if you would actually consider what I wrote in response, instead of incessantly yellling it's stupid, but that's not for me to decide.
I'm glad someone else found it useful.  

Just like the rules explain, shrooming over open water is OK unless it cuts out a substantial amount of track, which would make it a shortcut.


Here's a tip for bouncing over the water easier. Release the gas as you hit the surface. You will slow down less and bounce farther. I know. It's stupid!

I almost feel insulted that you didn't think my informative post useful.
This is not an argument. I am explaining the rules, and I like to think that the post deserved better than a reiteration of how stupid Pabst feels it is.

Andreas

Perhaps a stickied thread should be made detailing the rule choices? That way, it doesn't have to be on the site (It shouldn't have to be, regardless.) and everyone will easily see it.
Most of the explanations are found where the question was raised, so at present, they're scattered throughout several (sometimes unrelated) topics.

Andreas

hey andreas

i never said that your post is stupid, the rule is stupid thats all, ok?
i´m sure you are right, but in my opinoin it keeps that this rule is useless, whatever you say... =/

i´ll try to brake before jumping

PS:
i write a bad english, you see, and i understand as bad as i write, so i´m not sure if i understand your post complete correct....

Seb, the rules aren't "mine", I just wrote the document.  

Pabst, no hard feelings, alright?
I can absolutely understand if your post comes off more blunt than you intended it to be, but it's another thing to write that you don't want to understand after you ask and the explanation is offered.

I can't do the CCI jump at all myself, so I'll never reap the benefits of the last shroom spot I found, myself.   Oh, the irony.

Andreas

if you put a picture up in the next 2 hours (at school, grounded otherwise, maybe i can check it at home  ) then i can tell you if its an illegal strat

I'm not sure (so, wait a confirmation), but I think someone already proposed it, and it was forbidden... Even if IMO, it could be allowed, cos we allowed the same stuff at RR...

i don't like the normal shroomspot  
i think i'll have to pratice this track

is it possible to erase the records of one track?

hm damn ^^

but now i know that i won't try any ticking stuff

In WRVIDS.COM This Pierre WR video in CI1 had some problems. (FLAP 4"93 )

AND:

Are walls and corners the same thing?

The rules have been changed. You may shroom bumpers to go over walls on the Choco Island courses.
This is included in a pending rules document I sent for reviewing quite some time ago.
Everything that is done in the Fastest Available Videos folder contents (Not the TAS folder.) at wrvids.com is fair game.

Andreas

OMG, why could I think just one minute that I discovered a new strat at RKB1...?

Ok, I read the SC Description Page, and the strat I used is considered as SC... That doesn't surprise me much anyway...

Just to know, what are the best times at RKB1 with SC?

I did 25"xx (the battery of my DS were very low, and it shut down before the time were saved ) and 2"54 (with 2 shrooms).

Last question: why couldn't we insert a SC/trick/glitch section on the MKSC site? Could be fun!
