Congrats to Alien and thanks to everyone who participated in this challenge. There were some truly impressive records set here, and even just finishing the map is a feat in itself, so great job to everyone.

Before I make the changes, is everyone OK with me listing their names on the map for beating it? And is Alien OK with me linking to it as an example replay?

If I do make any more trickrace maps, it won't be for quite a while. Though I might have a handful of ideas left over I didn't use if anyone wants to make a collaboration map.

Yeah I know that lol, I just think some of the names are flawed, some of them don't make sense, and some of them are wrong.
I agree. Regarding the new names for tricks, at first a couple years ago when people started naming 'new' tricks I just rolled my eyes at the kids that thought they were coming up with new stuff when none of it was new and most could be easily described with combos of existing tricks. But having made a trick race map, I find it's very handy having names for those interesting combos. If I'd had to describe all the tricks that could be broken into smaller tricks, I'd have run out of room in a lot of places, and I'm sure people would be far more confused trying to decypher them than looking up some single named trick. I did try to include a couple of alternate names for old tricks that got renamed, but really I figure it's the most popular and well-known name that counts, not the oldest.

As far as some of the inconsistent names and naming schemes in the map go it's mostly because I was too lazy when making the map and just figured I'd let the replay I'd make of the map sort things out. By the time I made the first trickrace map I'd forgotten most of the old school names of any of the tricks that existed, and a lot of things were named by asking whoever I was testing the map with at the time.

From what originated as a "Mexi" and an "Arch" a mexi is when you throw yourself like this way over an entire island in a roper, and an arch is when you do it over a small part of this island, so I don't see where you get all these Mexi's that are actually Arches.
I don't know if I actually followed this rule or not ('cause I might've just copy/pasted arch or mexi depending on what was closest :D), but I like to say arch flies higher than it does long, and mexi flies longer than it does high.

"Swing to Spike" This is a cool move actually, but why call it swing to spike, and not an entirely different name? Like a dragon is just a "swing" then a shadow but isn't called a swing to shadow...
I like it too, if anyone wants to name it go ahead. I've already had to name more than I'd like just trying to describe things for these maps.

I don't know if anyone new is still looking at this challenge, but with a week to go I'm expanding my offer to put people's names on the map. Anyone who beats the challenge at all before the end date for the challenge will get their name on the map, so if you haven't played or submitted 'cause you couldn't beat an hour, now is your time.

Very nice work to everyone vying for first place, you're making me feel bad about how lazy I was with the replays I made of the maps :o

Fierce competition :o

The nova/wall shadow at the end does get easier with practice and the right approach, so if it's that much trouble practice it  :P

Are there any program that allows you to go backward while watching replay? I can't find that option while looking replay normally...

I ask because I wanna make trick race challenge with my map if I ever update it with fixes of all known issues there(and it's quite a lot)... :)
Nope, you've just gotta write down the times and skip to them on the next playthrough.

Eh, it's not so bad at 3-4x speed, I just have to rewatch anything that didn't look right.

Great job! Deducted 30s on the first one 'cause it doesn't really matter now.

I could use a second opinion on Alien's latest time - about 0:40s in for the 5x pinball at the beginning, he bounces off the ground from the left into 4 pinballs. I would have thought to count that as 4 pinballs, but I guess I could see how the beginning bounce might count as one. So is it OK? I didn't want to make a snap judgement here 'cause it'll be a first place time and a difficult one to beat.

Ohhh it counts time when I surrender not when I touch last line? Gonna practice my surrendering... I'm doing that too slow! 11s ffs! :D
For some stupid reason I decided to use the time the game ended at for the first record so I was stuck with it after that - surrender time or time touching the finish would've been a better point to choose the time, but it should still be pretty consistent. With such long games though, I'll be surprised if it comes down to a few seconds.

And ye, sorry for being unprecise a bit... what tricks were problem?
Probably nothing but a millimetre or two anywhere, except the inlaw to pini right near the end where you grabbed the top bit, but that line should've covered the whole wall anyway, it was just careless that I allowed a pini to be possible there without grabbing the right line. I think I'll fix that bit up on next edit of the map.

With no 30s penalty?
Yep, all good except for some minor bits where he didn't quite hit the line, but those are ok, and in places my fault for not making the lines long enough for reasonable tricks, or visible enough to see that it didn't quite touch (green and yellow on white wasn't a good idea).

I'm guessing the max damage would be 4 billion (2^32). I really wouldn't want to try maxing that out unless you can up weapon damage to something absurd.

Another really awesome mexi (arch?) on the turn at 2.35 here:

I think I give up on this challenge, whenever I do a bunch of awesome tricks, I start to get nervous and stop doing tricky things for fear of crashing. Then I get annoyed at the crappy roping, and overcompensate with something really tricky and crash :/
