Super-Official N 2.0 Highscoring Thread (00-0 to b9-4)

[shomman]

Took a9-0 with a small change at the end for 10 frames

Took a4-1 with a drone-beating route. Took by 50 frames. Some really close and tough calls there, especially in the middle top room. Argh. Tried to improve and got +1 frame :/

Passed 75 0ths yay! How long until oxy brings me down?

[oxymoron93]

b2-4 had to be taken. Tho, I firstly had intention to tie it also. It is kind of a level where you have better scores in first 5 mins of playing, than in next 10 minutes. So, if I had tied it very fast, I would leave that score. I wouldn't bother to play it much. But I managed to even take it quickly. It is same type of level like 54-2, where I tied you in my 5th run (and my 1st successful run).You can see that I was slower in both 54-2 and b2-4 runs, but as you said, that way you have faster ending. That way you do not think about ending, you just do it cause you are already slower, and you do it fast. Sometimes you make mistake that way and die, but when you have luck, it becomes great ending! xD
Good job for taking 23-3, I won't try that one. I didn't like that level at all, I just did it cause i wanted to try that way of ending. It definitely wasn't awesome run, which you showed by taking it with more than 10 frames!
Great a9-0 too. You did faster ending that is good. You can check "132502", which I made long ago, for even faster endings. Tho difference between Meta, who did corner jump, and spin who did it the same way you did, is just 4 frames! That is the reason I never tried faster endings, cause It wouldn't give me much with my slow run during the whole run before last jumps. Maybe I could try, someday but definitely not soon.
And, finest for the end! a4-1 is so exceptional, awesome work there. You shouldn't worry about that one. I don't take levels where new routes are added. I have some kind of respect for such runs!

Retaken 25-1, where jp added new, harder, beginning. Everything else I did the same way as before. jp27's run is different again, but I can say it is various of the route you and I did.

[Edit] Retaken 25-1 again!

Oh yeah, I had 97 (13 tied) 0ths. Which is my max for now. Unfortunately I wasn't on my PC, so I don't have that score file. I also didn't have time to send it to my mail or some other way to save it. Just to mention that. I am downloading scores now. And if nothing else is changed I should have 96 (13) 0ths! xD

[Edit] I believe I have 98 0ths atm. Can't download scores over here, cause I am still in student dorm, where internet is weak.

[Edit #2] 100 0ths!!! I want confirmation from someone who can download scores? (pls, don't take any 0ths of mine before that xD)

[oxymoron93]

I believe this requires new post!
100 0ths milestone achieved! :D

0th count

0th Rankings as of Tue Sep 15 14:00:44 2015

0th cooperverdon - 191 [39 ties]
1st EddyMataGallos - 146 [19 ties]
2nd oxymoron93 - 100 [13 ties]
3rd SpartaX18 - 85 [43 ties]
4th shomman - 76 [ 7 ties]

I was afraid when I saw you played a1-2. I was in hurry, to get these scores! xD
Yep, in a1-2 is definitely possible to get into top right room with gold, without using additional walljump! Then drones can become problem, when you try to enter into top left room with gold, cause they could detect you and make you a problem when you try to leave the that room.
Also, taken b7-0. That jp27's 0th was the longest remaining one in b column and the only one that hasn't changed since July 28th 2013. Yep, the date of the oldest score file we have!
[Edit] I just noticed that a1-2 0th held before by Eddy, was the only one in a column that hasn't changed since our oldest score has been made! xD
And, 0th (with ID=100 xD) is, again, taken from jp27. New route on b8-4!

[shomman]

That's awesome oxy, congrats dude. You've earned it. Definitely deserved a new post
Yes that's possible in a1-2. I pulled it off 5+ times and every time it caused drones to follow me into top left room! So annoying! I won't try and take that level.

Nice route. Impressive. I'm glad that all the 0ths are becoming newer.

Level with ID=100 is 19-4. Cooper has that level - what level did you mean?

[oxymoron93]

what level did you mean?

I meant on the level which had became my 100 0th and that is b8-4. :)

Next achievemnt should be 500 top10s. Right now, I have 488. :D

[shomman]

Ahh right.

500 that's crazy. I didn't know you were so close.

Again: Oxy for grandmaster. You're the best dude.

[SpartaX18]

What the f!@#? oxy, how the hell do you have 100 0ths already? 2 weeks ago you had 85 maybe. Anyway, huge congratulations from me!

[oxymoron93]

Spartax, I was in getting 0ths in rush mode! xD Many of them aren't awesome looking, just getting new route on many of them, which made me fastest on them. I didn't play them, not even once, after getting 0ths. Exception is 25-1, where jp made me retake it 3 times...And in some other levels, everything depends of ending, cause there are maybe some limitations in the run. For example, b2-4, where first half of the run, doesn't have to be great at all. Thanks! :D

Shomman, I noticed your parole before, too. It made me laugh. xD I don't believe I have time nor skill to become new grandmaster. Many coop's 0ths are great, and only Spartax18 can compete him there. Number of maps where I can fight for 0ths and where you don't have a 0th are slowly dropping down. xD
Tho, thanks for thinking like that! xD

Taken 85-3 and tied 91-4. It turned out not to be hard to tie it, just 100s of tries and almost same number of mistakes in last jump...
As for 85-3, you shomman or anybody else can see what I modified in previous route so it is now easier to begin and to be faster. Even to beat the drone before taking exit key. Unfortunately, I don't get much that way cause of my sloppiness in that run. You all can try to take it to the next level, as I will try, too. Even to add something new, or some other route!
[Edit] OK, I managed to find new route on 85-3 that fits great to the innovs I added. xD

[jp27ace]

Nice runs Oxy, gratz on the 100 0ths. I've lost a lot of 0ths since I last played, and it looks like you are one of the main reasons :p
Retaken b7-0 and b8-4, and also took a4-3, a6-3, b3-0 and b5-1.

Edit: Retaken b7-0 again, taken b7-1, b7-4 and a1-2.

[SpartaX18]

So, our roads finally crossed, oxy :D I took b0-3 by 6 frames. Not that hard, didn't even clock (just paused randomly).

[shomman]

Fucking hell I got wrecked.
Took my ownage as well goddammit.
Good to have you back

[oxymoron93]

Nice to see jp playing! Nice little change in b8-4. I had considered doing that , but I didn't want to fuck up all ready hard run.

These days I were studying for some easy exams, so I didn't play much. I was getting few 0th, which will be listed below. xD

New route on 92-0, for gaining 80 frames. Yep , a lot! I easily got it, didn't considered improving slow parts of the route.
Small change in 27-4, for getting 15 frames ahead of Eddy. It is possible to be even faster, with hitting roof near the end. Also, there could be kinda ~20 frames improvement, if you could somehow collect last pieces of gold with falling to the right bounce block (instead of falling to the left and doing walljump) and sliding on his side. I did do it only once in my run with missing one piece of gold (that piece was irrelevant for that route, I just missed it even before getting exit key, bummer).
Also, new route on 87-1, easier for me. kkstrong is down to 12 0ths. It could be improved, cause i did make some small mistakes. Also I have another route in mind, but it will have to wait.
Barely got 87-2 from Eddy. One frame.

According to the score files we have, I am on the 4th(5th) place among players with highest amount of 0ths ever held! With 105 0ths! jp27 had 104, tho score files from that period of time are far away from each other (Eddy is the only source), so jp maybe got few more and before getting next score file, he managed to lost even more, ending with less than 104. But we don't have proof of that!

I have really important exam in 10 days, and I wont play nor do anything else related to N in that time!

Sho, make b5, yours again! xD

According to the highscore rankings I had 150 0ths (probably more at one point).
Of course this was back when some of the levels didn't even have 10 top 10 scores, so not really very impressive :p

[shomman]

Well oxy, you are just proving that your standard truly is far beyond mine :P. Amazing work.

Sho, make b5, yours again! xD

;( so hard. jp so good.

Also, jp - I just watched your b7-4. That run is absolutely fucking incredible. So many close calls. There's no way I'm getting that back.

[SpartaX18]

Hell yeah! Reached 100 0ths! oxy, i'm coming for you :D

[shomman]

Wow guys, you're going great. You may have noticed but I don't think I'll be playing much more Metanet. It's too much of a time investment for me. In fact I'll be playing N a lot less. I might occasionally jump in with a 0th I can take, but I am trying to spend a lot less time on N (oxy you know the pain :) and I just can't compete with framing. It's losing a lot of fun anyway.

It's been great fun competing with you oxy - thanks for the fun :)

I'll just be playing userlevels when I do play, and I'll still be checking forums.

Edit: Eddy's average rank is over 2! First time!!

[EddyMataGallos]

Edit: Eddy's average rank is over 2! First time!!

Oh boy, I remember when it was 0.4th xD Maybe some day I'll come back, but there's still a lot of stuff I have to do in v1.4 :P

[shomman]

Wow I didn't know you got it so low. I think at his peak, cooper had 0.6 (which has since dropped to 0.85) - which seems close to 0.4 but at that low i think the difference is huge still.

[XandoToaster]

After hours of work, I managed to get a top 10 on 00-3. This is the third time I've gotten a top 10 on episode 0, but the other two have since fallen off the boards (I have 6911 on 00-0 and 6513 on 00-4), so hopefully this one will last a little longer. =)

[shomman]

Nice toast - I've never had a top 10 on any level in Episode 0

Since i've had no internet recently I've been playing through the episodes of Nv2 offline, and found a slight innov for 46-0 which I have just taken, using a Low Jump. In my offline run I got 74 though, so there's definitely room to improve.

I'm bad at not playing N

Edit: Tied 39-1 (Thanks for suggestion Toast). I won't take that off you oxy :P. (Mostly because I probably can't)

Edit 2: Took 87-1. I can't seem to help myself dammit.

[SpartaX18]

Hey, i don't even know when xD (maybe 1st of October) i reached 200 top 10s! Also, i'm at 124 0ths atm, which means just 12 0ths till 1st place!
...And 56 till grandmaster :/

EDIT: Also reached 3th place in avg. rank rankings (with 2.265th) and reached 1500 points somewhere in the past (now having 1632), still 6th place though.

[XandoToaster]

I took 0th on 04-1, but it was a bad run, and I'm sure that significant innovations can be made on it, so we'll see how long that lasts. I also got top 10s on 04-0, 04-2, and 04-3, and I already had 0th on 04-4. So, I now have a mediocrity with two 0ths. This is probably the closest I'll ever get to an ownage, so I'm pertty happy about this.

Very nice changes on 04-1, retaken for now. Also took 05-1 and 05-2.
05-1 uses a pretty obvious innov, I'm surprised it wasn't being used already. Not a great run so I doubt I'll hold it for long.

[shomman]

Took 5-1 by 5 frames, improved by another 13 frames, total 18 now. Had a few route changes with oxy but ended up with a jump all the way across and straight down, saving 14 frames and 50 frames over eddy's original 0th. Still room for improvement, but it's tight now.

Edit: oxy took 05-1 :/

[shomman]

Took 94-4
Took 41-1, 41-4* one of the oldest 0ths I know of.
