Possibly choked a 2nd Titan and sub 59flap on RR

Back in October last year, (Not sure when. I am too lazy 2 check), I scored my only Titan, it was on Rainbow Road 3laps.

I took a break from Rainbow Road after this eventhough I felt I was improving as the pressure is ENORMOUS and looking back, I am simply amazed, I scored my only Titan standard ever as I can't handle the pressure very well.

Lately, I have played Perfect Dark on Xbox Live 4 the past three weeks but, about 24hours ago, decided 2 try RR again.

I should note after scoring my Titan, I have played Rainbow Road for somewhere between 20-40hours roughly across multiple Time Trialling sessions, from memory. I haven't kept track of my playing statistics.

Just over 24hours ago, I played RR again 4 many straight hours.

I possibly messed up a 2nd Titan, Australian record and sub 59second flap by messing up the landing from the jump b4 the final downward Spiral leading 2 the finish/start lineSad The flap was SUPER STRONG and felt incredibly quick but, I didn't handle the pressure 2 finish strongSad

Almost everytime I race really fast 4 me, something goes wrongSad Even though I can race Rainbow at Titan pace I am amazed, I could pull off a Titan standard due 2 me not handling pressure very well.

From time 2 time, I might try RR but am not that optimistic about it anymore as I don't handle pressure well. Plus I don't play frequently enough either.

With my 50Hz PRs there's SO MUCH IMMENSE PRESSURE 2 beat them that I spend hours struggling just 2 Mini Turbo consistently. I need hours of warming up against my 50Hz PRs just 2 begin 2 challenge them as the psychological pressure I put myself under is GINORMOUS!!!

There's a lot LESS pressure challenging my 60Hz PRs as their quality is quite inferior.

So from time 2 time, I'll keep aiming 4 the RR Australian records but I don't think I can beat them as I have 2 play my very, very, very best when I am psyched out and don't play it frequently plus I am distracted by other games.

Good race Alex!!! Well done on your crazy strong RR PRs without the use of A-tech while I am struggling 2 compete with u using A-tech not 2 mention it's my best track and just a average track 4 u. Well doneSmiley

I might have the wrong idea but, based on reading MKDD!!PP forums, my understanding is that u raced all your PRs without A-tech Alex! This is incredible at your SUPER HIGH skill level! Perhaps u used A-Tech but, my understanding is u didn't.

I made this post 2 explain my lack of RR progression since scoring Titan D on RR since, I was still improving at the time. Pressure was too muchSad it still isSad

I don't know if this post is weird or ok as my communication and social skills r confused from High Functioning Autism.

That's why I rarely use the forums as I don't know how 2 socialise.

Sorry if this post is weird.

I always think if you can do it once then you can do it again, so if you can get 59 flat once you can get it again. In theory it should be easier the more attempts you try. I'm a bit surprised I have so many Australia records left -- in MK64 there's quite a few good Australian players.

If I remember correctly, so far, (actually completed flap) my PR is, 00'59"393.

Had I not messed up the landing b4 the downward Spiral leading 2 the finish line, I wouldn't have lost about a second 2 cross the finish line with a little slower than a minute that flap instead of around 59flat or slightly faster potentially speaking 4 that flap I messed up if it's as fast as I thought it was.

If I try enough times, I might b able 2 do it, probably true, just need 2 handle the nerves as 4 me it's a gr8 time even though over a hundred competitors can do it but they're around the top 100 competitors roughly for Rainbow flap. Don't know how many competitors subbed 59seconds but it will b around 100 I'd think. I have 00'59"393 and I am #140th.

I agree, Australia has had a lot more success with MK64 4 some reason when it comes 2 Time Trials compared 2 this game. Both games take GIGANTIC skill 2 reach top level but why the shortage of Heros, Titans, Myths and Gods in MKDD!! from Australia? It's interesting 2 me. MKDD!! is over 17years old now. I don't get it. Still, Australia has strong competitors just, MK64 has MUCH STRONGER competitors from Australia than MKDD!! does from Australia.

I want a 2nd Titan and Australian record but with so many games 2 play and not knowing if or how long it will take 4 me 2 pull off getting a 2nd Titan and first Australian Record, (I can only get one or two at the most) if I can get them, SO FAR from certain as I don't know if I can or not but am fairly doubtful I have what it takes as just getting my PRs on Rainbow Road was pretty challenging enough and I need 2 cut a bit of time still. I feel I could do it if nerves weren't a factor. I basically need 2 race my very top notch self, (what my best skill looks like), without nerves messing it up. I agree it's possible, just I get multiple runs that r SUPER STRONG and I have only achieved Titan D once as I keep not handling the pressure.

It's worth mentioning, even if I were 2 achieve the Australian record/s on Rainbow Road, I am very lucky u didn't use A-tech Alex, because if u had of, I wouldn't stand a chance so, in the fairly unlikely event I take a record from u, it's because u didn't A-tech and I do.

From time 2 time, I'll try 2 beat u at Rainbow but, because it's so hard and u didn't use A-tech, the thought of victory feels like I still lost in terms of skill as, u r much stronger at Rainbow even if I manage 2 barely beat u, and I am far from certain I can barely beat u, even though I use A-tech and u didn't.

I am very happy with a Titan D even if I can achieve a little better. I haven't played much Rainbow since getting my only Titan D because I didn't want 2 stress myself out from the pressure even though I can achieve times semi-a little faster here. Too much stress as I am too serious 4 my own good.

Congrats on strong scores on multiple videogames, many videogamesSmiley
