Finally have it all figured out!
But doint it in one turn will take another few days. By subpixel movements it feels like my taps works different turn by turn..

A solid first run by Husk!! gj friend! I like how you did almost 20 jumps differently than what I usually do, that's awesome!
Title: Re: Challenge #176, Link's awakening Battle Race

Damn, Husk, this will be a hard one to beat! GJ mate!

thanks xDDDdd I am surprised I did anything decent, I was doing some parts so random lol

Post by: darKz on November 05, 2012, 03:37 PM
I just spent 20 minutes trying to figure out all the different jumps, got stuck at top right and was like f@#! this. 8(
Husk's BRs were easier IMO! :D

Too long map for me too, I don't have nerves for it, gonna skip this time.. ;x

Title: Re: Challenge #176, Link's awakening Battle Race
Post by: darKz on November 05, 2012, 07:38 PM
I did finish it now so at least I know how the jumps work. Whether or not I can do it in one turn is a different story. :D Nice map Drumstick, really challenging at some parts.

Coming up, Husk, I run tonight one around 620, but I will only send in a record ;)

Post by: Drumstick on November 06, 2012, 08:40 AM
You did great, Husk and Prankster!

I do hope the bronze medal will be given to someone! Do it Darkz! and anyone else! :P

so I tried to improve my time... I began with practicing the spots I felt uncertain with. gave it a try and got 626 lol

shouldn't we be able to view our own replays?

I'm certain about most of the jumps, but maybe my kb is too sensitive, I don't know, sometimes the same spot doesn't work, or I can't even get it..

427 at the bottom left lava part, then I fell. Damn this is frustrating. :D

You mean the middle one, right? :)

Shit, I run better and better times at some parts, and then screw it up at places where I never before did.. :-X

That's a good idea. I could send you back your challenge if you want. I keep my challenge replays on another folder: C:\Users\Me\Desktop :D

Title: Re: Challenge #176, Link's awakening Battle Race
Post by: Prankster on November 08, 2012, 02:34 PM
Thx Husk. most of those annoying semi-random jumps worked for first time :)
Looking at my failures in this run, the best possible time could be around 575, IMO.
Title: Re: Challenge #176, Link's awakening Battle Race
Post by: Drumstick on November 09, 2012, 06:14 AM
Yep good job dude! I had to adjust your time because of the horizontal worm rule, sorry, you gained .22 secs. :|

Looking at my failures in this run, the best possible time could be around 575, IMO.

My personal record is 582something, I think I misjumped around 10 times... That's a good estimate.

Well, about 3 days left, anyone wants an new delay?
Title: Re: Challenge #176, Link's awakening Battle Race
Post by: Prankster on November 09, 2012, 06:38 AM
No problem, I was expecting that :)
I demand the time expansion if someone beats my current current record :D

Post by: Mablak on November 10, 2012, 08:18 AM
Really fantastic map Drumstick, must've taken over 100 hours to make, guess I never played it before :0. Definitely a triple black diamond, or double at least, certainly satisfying to my noggin. I'm sure the time I got is beatable, have at it Husk/Prank ;O.
Title: Re: Challenge #176, Link's awakening Battle Race
Post by: Drumstick on November 10, 2012, 09:30 AM
Wow Mab, nice run! My face when seeing the way you crossed some parts:

(http://static4.fjcdn.com/comments/+_1a0cc5be28f75c33f6ad1969805c9820.jpg)

I never count time I invest in big projects... 100 hours could very well be a good estimate and thanks for the good feedback :)

And yes, others would have to see the replay, but that time is very beatable :O

Post by: Prankster on November 10, 2012, 10:55 AM
Mab, thanks for reminding me that I'm technically just a noob in battle race!  :-*
I'm sure your time is beatable if you say so, but I'm also sure I'll need to work on my moves or routes to do that..

Omg I could'nt be more wrong.. didnt look at this replay yet but I misjumped ALOT more than 10 times lmao.

My new record is 537.84. Will post as 9000.04

The time is almost over.. if anyone wants me to extend the deadline by 4 days, now's the time to ask.

I just spent the last 3 hours trying to beat my record. My fingers hurts, my neck and eyes hurt from squinting because I play with a ridiculous resolution.

I had the best. run. ever.   then I fell at the last drop just before the green tower... stupid stupid error. I'm mad now  >:(

I will make a video of the best run when the challenge ends :)
Title: Re: Challenge #176, Link's awakening Battle Race
Post by: Prankster on November 12, 2012, 11:00 AM
I did work on my moves, found a few places where I can do it in a simpler way, but that's not gonna save me like 80 seconds! Where is the shortcut?! :D

Post by: Drumstick on November 12, 2012, 04:05 PM
Thanks for all your good reviews of the map. I dont wanna brag.. but Im seeing all the replays and everyone is doing the obstacles in different ways that I never would've thought of myself and truly... that makes this map even more awesome  8)

I hope new replays will be submitted after the end of this challenge, when everyone gets to see other replays. I now think it's possible to finish the map in less than 8 minutes (480s).

ok i fell after an awesome run, i'm going to cut my wrists.

LOL! :D  I had a similar dream in previous battle race challenge, I've dreamed that I saw your replay and in some point of the map you turn the JP on and fly over some wall! And I remember I was thinking smth like "hmm, I didn't know we can use Jets, then I'll do it too!" lol

I would be curious to see a BRsolver run of this map. http://worms2d.info/BRSolver

Wow I just watched that replay, those slide-glitch parts look awesome, I want those in BR challenges! :D:D
Title: Re: Challenge #176, Link's awakening Battle Race
Post by: Drumstick on November 13, 2012, 02:56 PM
I really like how the worm glitch-walks, too. Go backwards to walk forwards faster   :o
Title: Re: Challenge #176, Link's awakening Battle Race
Post by: Prankster on November 13, 2012, 04:05 PM
Yea I heard about that, and there's also skipwalking (opening weapon panel on a certain rythm), but that's not allowed in BR I guess. Also, I can't find any shorcuts.. could possibly save about 20 seconds of my time with a few new moves I discovered - if I do a perfect run as well - but 100 seconds..?! I just don't get it how!
Title: Re: Challenge #176, Link's awakening Battle Race
Post by: Drumstick on November 13, 2012, 06:00 PM
yeah, unwritten rule, I guess: dont abuse glitches. As for shortcuts, I won't discuss the matter before the end of the challenge. But one thing I can say about mab's runs: his jump fail ratio is very very low and he places his worm in the correct position pretty quickly too.
Title: Re: Challenge #176, Link's awakening Battle Race
Post by: Prankster on November 13, 2012, 10:55 PM
Yea, I bet. But saving 100 seconds on the route I did seems too much. There must be a (or some) shortcut(s) that can save me about 50-60 seconds..

Post by: Prankster on November 15, 2012, 03:30 PM
I can't save more than 50 seconds on this route, I'm surely missing some shortcut..

Awesome replays! Looks like there were no shorcuts, just a few clever jumps I didn't think of. I say it can be done in about 450 sec :P
Big thanks for the challenge, Drumstick!
Title: Re: Challenge #176, Link's awakening Battle Race
Post by: Drumstick on November 17, 2012, 04:06 AM
Hehe you're welcome! The fish shortcut saves 5 jumps, I call that a shortcut... going under the eagle easily saves what... 5 or 10 seconds? they are shortcuts

Sorry for the bad looking medals... transparency and anti-aliasing really owned me.
