What are your Sum Of Best now?
Thank you!
45.579 / 45.539 / 45.539 = 2:16.657
I've yet to hit a 45.4 lap, since I can never get perfect lows, both chains and good driving all at once. I usually throw away good lows to bad driving, and when I don't, I never get both chains.
I've hit a 45.627 Lap 1 missing the second chain entirely which probably would have been a low 45.5, and I've hit multiple low 45.6s on Lap 2 with the first chain being missed, so I am capable with a bit of luck.

Thanks a ton Havoc! Definitely looks much nicer over a 2:17, that's for sure.
I agree that it is something I should have put more time into to achieve long ago...

What's a perfect luck wheelie? 93?
Thanks!
93 is a full chain, 91 is a half chain (you were 1 frame off from the chain), everything else is a drop wheelie.
You have good drops (89) which mean you were 2 frames off the chain wheelie, and decent drops (87) which means you were 3 frames off.
Anything else (84, bad drop) means you were 4 or more frames off.
It's confusing since Bean's s-o-m depicts the top speed for the Bowser Bike as 97, due to it rounding up.
It makes chains show as 94 and halves show as 91, whereas on the old s-o-m that would truncate the timer, chains show as 93 and halves show as 90.
So in essence, I pulled 3 ½ / 6 chains in my run.

I appreciate that Ethan! Thanks a bunch man!
I have been playing quite a fair amount, but my rate of improvement is as slow as ever. This is probably why you thought I haven't been playing much.
Although, switching to a monitor with 10ms of input delay compared to my HDTV with over 200ms seemed to make a world of a difference...
As for WR, I may come back here and try my luck for it, but to be honest... I'm genuinely scared of competing with this.
I'm going to have to reset any lap that falls above 45.750 now, and that is a good lap by my standards...
The run for anyone interested;
