Hey, I wasn't sure where to post this, so I made a new topic.

I've just started playing again and I'm wondering if there is a compilation of videos for someone at around the Expert A skill level? Here are my times so you can understand what I'm looking for: http://www.mariokart64.com/mkdd/profile.php?pid=1073

Those are from around 2006/2007, so I'm currently aiming to get back to that level and hopefully improve.

Thanks very much.

funny you should ask, Scott Abbey has a folder of videos at the Expert A level that can be accessed here on wrvids:

I'll always be available too, and since my skill level is about that of high Hero then I should be able to help a good bit! Just watch the videos Frigz linked, but also watch some WR vids too just to get the difference. Whenever I started playing a course, I would search "mkdd lc" or whatever and just watch a lot of the vids that came up, which was definitely helpful.

The reason my timeset is half done is that I started it with 32 one-tries, and then went course by course getting PRs I was satisfied with. My controller has since then broke and I haven't played in several months, so part of my timeset is still dismal. Note that the ARR of my good times is Titan Smiley


Have fun getting back into this!

The Expert barrier is real! Hope those vids help.  Crazy as it seems, I was really worried about the filesize of my videos back then, a 16MB video seemed huge!  Since these are all Expert A, they might be about equal to what you've already managed, you might try to seek out some Hero videos....but yeah it's definitely hard to only watch God videos when you're still only human.

Are there any active players currently around my level that would be up for starting a rivalry? I'm currently ranked around #200, but I'm making prs at a much higher level than that recently.

If you're still active Astro, this is around my level, and i've been playing again since my buddy and i recently competed in one of those 16 race Grand Prix'. Just like old times XD

There doesn't seem to be a help topic, so I'll just post it here. On MCT, i'm wondering how much faster the WR route is, as opposed to going straight forward after the first bend, than right left right left. My level is high expert on this track, and I'm not using A-Tech. Is it worth adjusting my route at this time?

EDIT: nm, i adjusted after watching a video from that archive posted above
