CI1 (PAL) – 53"76 / 10"43 (both NBT)

No videos yet, as told on Discord the 5-lap was absolutely unexpected since it came around 10mns after starting a session, still while warming up and trying to set a good 54" ghost to fight – I guess I now need to record myself when I switch the SNES on lol. The flap has a proper video but I'm unhappy with the fact I won 0"04 and zero rank there (there are 41 and 42 just above me) so I'm gonna try to get 41 at least before I show something. Hopefully I'll beat the 5-lap too with a live video.

RR nonNBT: 1'25"39 1'25"22 / 16"90

Going for USA record on both of these. I think I can do at least a 16"85 flap, and maybe a 1'24"8x 5lap.

CI2 - 12.18 I'll have the video up soon, and it was recorded live finally. The lap was going nowhere until the miraculous ending, still surprised honestly.  Somehow hopped the wall and rode right beside it without crashing, leaving us with one of the better endings, if not the best.  

Thanks!

Hi all,

It was simply too warm to play SMK the past days, but I still wanted to get some PRs in nonetheless. So after it cooled down a little in the evening (still like 30 C though) I decided to direct two fans at myself and gave it a shot. I'm very slowly warming (yeh...lol) to the right side strat on CI2, after initially liking it and then a bit later starting to hate the BS speedlosses. The 5-lap is a small PR improvement despite the fact that this is 5/5 right (and my old PR obviously was not). The final half of this new race was very safe though, especially the last corners of lap 4 and 5. I can't do the opener thing that ScouB does, it's a kind of magic to me as my openers are consistently 0"25 slower than his.
Also GAS told us 12"5x flap would be free, but I think he lied. Wasn't that easy. Lake exit was still a bit sub par in my new flap though.

Anyhow:

PAL
CI2 NBT 1'04"63 (-0"12) - 12"59 (-0"04)

Splits:
L1 13"31
L2 12"73

CI2 (PAL) – 12"60 NBT

Not happy with this (I wanted 59…) but that's gonna be all for this week:

How long do you plan on using Peach for time trialing? You can only go so high in the ranks with Peach. I think you should try Bowser or at least Mario on some of the tracks, especially wide-open ones like MC1, GV1, or KB1. Unless you're specifically aiming to have the strongest Peach-only timeset in the SMK charts, it's time for you to give heavier drivers a try.

P.S. This page has my best Yoshi times (Yoshi handles identically to Peach), although this is for PAL I have included the standards for the times, perhaps this could give you an idea of what you could shoot for with Peach, but notice that I have no standards above Veteran with Yoshi (though I did not use NBT, but you may not be ready to learn NBT yet).

Hey, Harvey Kartel, thank you for your advice. I actually do not have any sort of goals at the moment. We can say I am just playing for fun at the moment. The first day I played this game I tried every character and Toad was very comfy to drive, Mario was faster and Bowser was a lot faster but hard to control. Peach was also hard to control but since it is my favorite character on MK64... I decided to try Peach to learn the tracks. But yeah, sadly in this game Peach is slower, I should just accept it and try faster characters. But I am not ready to accept it, maybe in the near future.

Two quick NTSC PRs just to have a fullset of 80 "single digit" ranked PRs again:

CI1 – 9"84 NBT



MC3 – 16"53 NBT



The MC3 one was my first completed lap with that strat in NTSC, lol.

DP3: 1'26"15 / 16"95 with Bowser

Tough track. Finally got a decent time, although I previously had a run on pace for 1'25"xx and failed the third-last turn on the final lap. Still a lot of fun to play!
