After what felt like days of trying to get that first jump right, taken 38-4 with an agd run, occupy xaelar!

Impressive! (I can't watch the run yet though, judging by the time difference)

[EddyMataGallos]

Hell yeah, AGD run! That accidentally occupied myself too, though.

Retook 38-4, upping the standard of the run to the point it was with the old route. Also retook Ep30, I did it in 45 mins according to infunity so its quite rushed, specially 30-1. Slightly over a sec left.

jp, I would say you are the only one in the active community who is able to come up with new routes for long and open levels like this one. You're clever. :D Can't wait to watch your and Eddy's runs when I get home.

[EddyMataGallos]

Ep82 and 82-3 to my bag ;)

Also took 57-4 with van's beginning and jp's innovation.

macro, I saw on a NUMA comment that you were in the hospital but they hadn't figured anything out and you felt fine. Care to give us any updates if you have them? Know that everybody here is wishing you good health and a speedy trip back home.

[EddyMataGallos]

Took Ep99, and 99-1, -3 and -4 within the ep; only missed 0.375 in total. Ownage on Ep99.
Thanks to Hendor and macro this isn't the super lead I originally thought on getting on this ep >:(

Oh, and I hadn't heard you were hospitalized, get well man ;)

Nice runs boys... I love watching the masters work. Meanwhile I'm over in the corner eating glue (took ep99).

Nice... too bad Eddy will probably smash it by like ten seconds...

Hope I did not dissapoint :P

EDIT: Grabbed 97-0.

Very impressive run on ep 99 Eddy, but I for one am disappointed. Still waiting on that perfect episode! :P

All these runs have come in a bit of a flurry, so it is a pleasure to watch them all now. (It's like an early Christmas present!)

I agree. It's one thing to tweak a bit here and there, but to completely reroute an established level and then execute the new route like that takes a great deal of thought and skill; you really do remind me of Sammage in this respect.

No, you didn't disappoint, except for your spelling of disappoint ;)

I was allowed to leave hospital for a few hours and I decided to check out all new 0ths and to submit my 57-4 run which I did on Tuesday. Notice how I use the old start, but still have a decent lead because I managed to kill the rocket when dropping down on the right. It saves a lot. Also, compare my run with Eddy's and you'll see how much he actually loses at the top. That's the first time you submit a run that's not polished to the max. :P I expect a 161+ run when I check again.

[golf]

Great run macro, but the bigger question for me is how did I not know those innov's had actually been implemented into new 0th runs? Thought I keep up with this thread pretty well even if I don't always comment, but I must have missed something along the way lol.

[ska]

Why were/are you in hospital? Is it serious?

Seems like it, but at least you know now. :D

Why were/are you in hospital? Is it serious?

An increased blood value which has to be examined, but nothing serious. I'm feeling fine.

So why were you looking at blood values in the first place? Were you doing a routine checkup of some sort, like for sports or something, or did you go in because you weren't feeling well from something else that has since gotten better? Unless the German healthcare system is even more different than I thought it was, there's no reason to randomly doing blood tests. Also if you don't mind, what values were increased? If you don't feel comfortable telling us I understand, and if you don't know the English translation just post the German for it and maybe we can figure it out :P

[macrohenry]

When doing sport I was somtimes very quickly exhausted, much quicker than usual and I didn't recover properly. I just wanted to know what was wrong, that's why I went to the doctor's. The increased value is some kind of enzyme (I don't remember the name), but it has already decreased since the first examination. So no, we don't do random blood tests in Germany. :P

Glad you're feeling ok, very nice 57-4. I remember when I watched Eddy's run I thought it was surprisingly unclean (by Eddy's standards).

Took Ep99, and 99-1, -3 and -4 within the ep; only missed 0.375 in total. Ownage on Ep99.

The funny thing is, the only person stopping that from being a perfect episode is you, as your -0 and -2 were both better or equal to 1st. Its crazy how you can put an episode together like that in such a short time.

Nice 38-4 too, I knew my ending wasn't very good. I feel like another drone cycle can be beaten though so I'm hoping macro gives you some competition.
I've started an MBD for this level too but it's a very slow process :p

Cool to hear! I remember your 95-2 MBD, I hope this one will be just as awesome. And yes, I'll definitely give the new route a try.

Awesome work on Ep 99 Eddy. You throttled that episode.

Macro that 57-4 0th just shows how much time is left in that map. I expect quite a few more 0th changes before this one is locked up for the future. And I am glad to hear you are doing well.

Yeah, I felt the same way. Really looking forward to seeing this map get pushed to its limits.

[Hendor]

Thanks for the topic guys. I will keep my eyes out for a prodigy.

I've finally got my computer setup after some difficulties, so I've started playing again sorta. Got a decent score on 31-4 testing my computer. I do the top (third piece of gold) a bit differently than the top runs. (Edit - my bad, macro does the little corner thing too, but I think the reverse corner the way I do it is faster. golfkid does it too.) Hardly worth mentioning, but my sloppy execution after a sloppy start comes off even with Eddy's near perfect execution.

[ska]

I finally bothered to translate the topic text. Imagine if we just got an infestation of Chinese super-players that made Eddy look like a newbie by comparison.

Hey I'm back from a little trip, which I purposedly didn't mention to avoid returning and seeing a bunch of 0ths lost xD

I was allowed to leave hospital for a few hours and I decided to check out all new 0ths and to submit my 57-4 run which I did on Tuesday. Notice how I use the old start, but still have a decent lead because I managed to kill the rocket when dropping down on the right. It saves a lot.

That's the first time you submit a run that's not polished to the max. :P I expect a 161+ run when I check again.

Oh yeah, I was actually going to mention that but eventually forgot about it. I /had/ to slow down at the top part a lot, because of the new rocket behaviour caused by the new, different beginning. Before the top part, you can see I purposedly slowly executed the initial gold collection too to have another missile launched, after the first one crashes. Clearly an optimal method to avoid being messed up by the rocket would clean over half a second. I'll try to find something better.

Nice to hear you're fine, too :P

The funny thing is, the only person stopping that from being a perfect episode is you, as your -0 and -2 were both better or equal to 1st. Its crazy how you can put an episode together like that in such a short time.

Haha, damn you past Eddy.
I just saw your recent MBD btw, its friggin' nuts, awesome work man :D

EDIT: Found a better rocket maneuver, and pulled off the 161+ run in 57-4.
With this maneuver, you let the first rocket crash but don't lure a second one. You don't have to go too fast on the initial gold collection either, because that way not even the first rocket would crash, causing a different top route which doesn't work quite as well, I think. It would be optimal to go for this beginning and have a workaround for the top part rocket, though.

Merry Christmas all!
Very nice 57-4 Eddy, and I saw your episode 1 too, great stuff.
Taken 37-4 with a new route, I'm reasonably happy with how clean this one is.

Edit: Looks like I just missed Eddy's Christmas highscore update :(

[EddyMataGallos]

Awesome innovative stuff jp, man that's the kind of level you'd indeed expect to have more potential, but wouldn't even try to challenge Lim's route, well done ;) I just posted the rankings, so unfortunately this 0th didn't make it, hope you don't mind it goes for the following update. These beasts take a long time to get done :P

And yeah, I almost forget; took Ep 1, and improved my 1-1 and 1-4 within it. Pretty satisfied, maybe barring 1-3 which had a sloppy ending. I'm particularly satisfied with my 1-4 ending. Now I have another column Ep ownage, column 00 ^^
