Tribal Battle Race

I wonder what's the etymology of the term battle race. I like it as it is though.

I think yes, and it needs a different name as well btw. Something like "walk race".

Yeah, what we do here is actually a Walk Race, it's a variety of the original Battle Race cause it's without the weapons. In original Battle Race there are some weapons that are used to put back your opponent or to make a progress in the retreat time.. I guess that's where the name comes from.. 

I'd love to see walk-race using fast walk. I think it is much more fun than normal walk. It gives the feel of speed!

I'm afraid that'd make getting on positions harder.

Of course you're right. I knew that but somehow went over my head.

mmmh I couldnt be assed verifying, but wouldnt that make positionning for precise jumps harder?


Also, 2 days left??? where was I??? gotta submit a time omg!

Haha, hi, Drum! I let you know that I have a 313s run already, so if you happen to beat my current time, don't feel so secure

doesn't fast walk process start from normal speed then getting speed up? I think those tiny walk to find the best place won't be any difference from normal walk.

You're right MI, little taps at precise positioning don't affect anything.

we demand adding fast walk?!

By positioning I don't only mean stopping and tapping the arrows. Positioning can be also releasing the arrow at the right time. And that would be harder with fastwalk, IMO. But I don't know shit about worm movement tbh.

Go easier maps, fast walk and 150% speed mode. I used to play that variation and was quite fun, different tho.

Ok, since there was not much "time attacks", I won't expand the deadline.
If I receive new records until the challenge is over, I'll expand it for 2 or 3 days more.
I hope everyone is ok with that. ?

I've been playing a lots of kaos these days and there are lots of walking/jumping with fast walk in it, and yeah fast walk is a feature I've suggested to Husk when he was hosting "Fruity Jumps" or the other BR challenge.. I also think we should try it in the next one. But I also think it should be just a try. Not as default in any way.. Maybe even that TransparentWatersWK if it gets legal, why not? ;o
Also yeah, It's more accurate if we call it "Walk Race Time Trial", I agree with that.
Also, I'm in process of making a new "Walk Race" map called "Rock n' Roll Walk Race" and I could host another WR challenge if somebody already didn't wanted to do the same?
Drums and a guitar and some speakers..  Looking good by now..  ;x

Ram, I only didn't send in a new record because it's still not better than Dulek's. But I'm trying all the time, I did 313 already.

Is there a way to merge replays?
