Hey everyone, quick question for you to answer and think about if you wish. What is your highest ranked time and your lowest ranked time? What tracks are these specifically? Do you have a goal by the end of 2012 regarding them? (Do you want a better ranked best time or a more respectable worst time?)

I've decided to focus my own playing around achieving a goal like this. I think I have only 11 times that are outside the top 3.

My best time is hard for me to decide since I have several WRs, but I would have to say a few good candidates would be SG course, CCI course, LC course, and BC1 course.

My poorest time is ranked sixth, and it is Rainbow Road course.

So, my goal for the rest of 2012 is improve those 11 times into the top 3, and have a time sheet showing only 1s, 2s, and 3s. I'd also like to have at least 70 times that are first or second overall and 10 third place finishes or less.

What are your goals regarding this? Do you specialize on a course and want to continue to improve it? Do you want to bring all your times into the top 40 or 50 or 10? Let's hear your aspirations for the rest of 2012!

I already gave it 1 shot in the beginning of 2k12 but ruined a GBA in the process, but I'd like to properly modify my GBA to ZZMT. Then my mission of obtaining the Dutch #1 and the majority of the CR's will be a piece of cake. So yeah that's my goal; getting that Dutch crown back.  

Alvin is currently #19, perfectly viable to reach without ZZMT, but it's not motivating me to play if I know there are better strategies, which are easy to perform, but inaccessible because of equipment. I feel like a caged tiger, so I really need that sorted at one point.

^Su's 46"96 was sloppy for his standards. I'm sure it can go as low as 46"7x nonZZMT.


My best time is probably RR 34"91, though I'm not satisfied with it at all. Back before I took a break, I had failed several runs that would have beaten Hirano's 34"63, and getting this WR is still on my to-do list. I have mostly empty slots for the PP, but among the ones that I have submitted, BC3 would have to be the worst, placing in at #46 with 1'23"78. This was back from when I was a "baby" at MKSC though, and I have tried it according to the PP rules since. Crashed several sub-1'20 runs but never seem to finish one.

For SC though...

My best time would have to be one of my 19+ SC WR's (I can't really choose; all of the not-max'd-out times are on my to-do list for big improvements). In terms of hardest-to-beat, though, I would have to say that either my Choco Island 1 or 2 are some of the hardest SC times to beat (unless you're Su >_>), even though they both place in at #2. My worst time is definitely Vanilla Lake 1 flap, placing in at #11 or so, with 5"17.

With that said, my goal is still to sub 2.0000 AF in SC and break at least top5 on PP, preferably top3.


And now for nonSC (not following PP rules though). Though I'm ranked #5 here, it's only because I haven't spent nearly as much time as I have on SC improving my times. My "dream" is to beat Hirano of course (though this also relies on how many people beat his "weak" times, such as SGB 48"60). I don't remember my best time and I'm too lazy to check, but I definitely take pride in my 2/3 Sky Garden big SC landing run, which places in at #2 WW. I don't remember my worst run, but I know my Boo Lake 1'13"93 can be improved by another 2 seconds if I just used the ticking strat.

Is there a video of his 46"96 available anywhere?

Cheers! Thought I'd seen it before (most likely when it was set) but couldn't find it recently. That didn't seem too sloppy a run.

New goal: to become UK #1 by the end of the year.
