Metanet 0ths Thread

[golf]

You need to get bored more often :) Just stay away from my 0ths when you do, please.

[macrohenry]

Taken, exactly 4 seconds faster than Eddy's former 0th. Great route change, jp! Keep it up. :)

[vankusss]

I got bored and improved 23-4 by another 2.5 seconds

Really nice route there, jp. Using the middle left top wall, wut.

[EddyMataGallos]

Hey nice route jp, damn does it top Raif's MBD's route? Because its close in score. I will play 23-4 again as soon as I find some free time. I did retake 61-0 a couple days ago though, I was waiting to do 23-4 but that will have to wait.

I didn't test, but I am guessing not since the drone in the left chamber limits how fast you can go in that route.

you and I both know using the thwump will yield a faster run. Do it or I'll rip your balls off.

I also want to see an mbd of this route, but that drone does look quite limiting.

By only 3 frames... I might have to retake this, but I think I'll wait to see what Eddy does first.

wut.

[TheRealOne]

Killer route change there JP. Very well though out.

Raif when you were testing on 23-4 did you check to see if after getting the last batch of gold it was faster to not chimney+CK? Instead go left to the door under the island? Just curious. Looks like it could be close with all of the time spent floating heading to the CK.


Eddy that 61-0 is super sharp. Those two WJs back to back look perfect.

wut.

It took me a minute to figure out what he meant at first too... but I realised he meant the 1-tile directly left of the exit switch (underneath the mine).

Good question. (Don't forget the bbcj)

Took Ep67, sorry LAT.

[LAT]

Great job im more than happy with a 1st place, rather than 0th.

[golf]

macro, where's my sorry? I was tied for that episode with him... jk Nice runs throughout.

[EddyMataGallos]

Great job im more than happy with a 1st place, rather than 0th.

Oh cool, then took 86-1 ;)
That was your last 0th, will this serve as an encouragement for a return?

[LAT]

awesome run im actually surprised that one was the last to go, I wish I could make a return I still love playing that's for sure.

Funny story... I was trying for this the other day but failed, but I'm pretty sure, with clean corner jumps (e.g. like my run except on both sides) you could go one drone loop faster. What do you think, Eddy?

[EddyMataGallos]

Thanks lat, yeah I understand that, I spend way more time playing N to spare time (mostly userlevels and NUMA) than actual Metanet activity, because its a "softer" activity rather than taking 0ths which requires higher dedication/concentration.

@ska - Oh yeah thats a good point, I agree with you. Probably doing all cj's would get you there. I had some runs in which I got close but I didn't really want to try that out, lazy ass I guess :P But yeah its probably doable.

[LAT]

And if I remember correctly im pretty sure you can nag the switch from the first bounce block as well saving time

[panstromek]

I think It's good to play a lot of different levels (Userlevels or NUMA). It brings you true skill. If you try to beat as many levels as possible, you can master a lot of technics and their use in different situations. That gives you more than repeating same levels again and again.

[EddyMataGallos]

Playing a variety of levels won't give you as much skill as going plain hardcore, doesn't really matter which level it is. I improved a lot when I started highscoring seriously. Its true theres more diversity but you won't gain skill unless you play hardcore those techniques, skill is based on repetition, thats at least my opinion.

@lat - oh yeah thats possible as well, thats whats used on the Speedrun 0th, with all that beating the drones should be fairly doable. Thats your next objective!

[LAT]

Roger sergeant Eddy! I actually have to unlock that episode first.
Oh yeah check this out I was right behind this guy, I got it on camera also. Last year in Afghanistan. im in Kuwait now..

[vankusss]

Holy shit LAT! The only thing that pops into my head is "stay alive dude!"

panstromek - Eddy is right, and lots of people can attest that (well you might be special, but let's talk about majority). Playing a small set of levels over and over again gives you a "feel" for the game, etc lol It's hard to describe. Ask Izzy (he's from russia i think).

[EddyMataGallos]

Oh yeah I forgot you would have probably lost your sol in this time :P And damn, take care bro.

[jp27ace]

Welcome back LAT, I hope you do get back into high-scoring again, the more the merrier :)
Nice run as always on 86-1 Eddy, but yeah it looks like it can still be cleaned quite a bit.
I keep losing my sol too, I should really start backing it up. I only have about the first 3 episodes of every column unlocked atm.

I took 23-2 while going for the episode 0th (I then accidentally fell into the exit on -3 on a crappy run and rage-quit, might give it another go at some point)

[EddyMataGallos]

Whenever you do a slow run on an episode don't get close to the door! :P Nice run, I'll see if I can play some more N tomorrow.

[panstromek]

You're right with this but I meant something little different. By playing more levels, time you need to beat/perfect level is getting shorter. Highscore says nothing about it, because you don't know how much time player needed to take it. Arcade mode is perfect idea for this. But I don't say that you don't need to repeat a lot, that's needed, too.

Btw. Eddy, can you complete all collumns on arcade mode?
