Matan's Videos Topic « Thread Started on Nov 9, 2006, 11:13am »
I'll be updating here my vids in a new post at the bottom of the page, so be sure to look @ it often
The Coke and Mentos Experiment (4.19s) Here's a fun new level! Although it needs better editing, here's the path to get a super low time! Make sure you do the excat same movements otherwise you miss the launcher! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=piWcSmS9rv4
Drawbridge (3.09s) Here's my ultra fast (and very hard) method for this quick level. It's not easy to do, but I got lucky here! Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKReeirgrMU
Skill Course 3 (4.09s) I was looking carefully and either I hit the edge or I just got lucky before the edge and so managed to hit this new time. I simply don't know how I did it! Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0rssxfhh_w
Phil's Mini Mountain (7.11s) This is Phil's latest level! I really like it! It has some great MBU textures in it. Anyway, here's my sub 7 seconds path done in just above 7 seconds. Usually I take in 2 jumps before the jump on the slope from the corner and not only one, so it's kinda wrong, but still makes it. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJheDBRKws8
Marble Mini Golf - Hole #3 (3.67s) Here's my super ultra fast path to Jase's hole (normal path is 12.75 seconds for gold time) on Marble Mini Golf. He did a really good level, but the shortcut was too obvious Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTruhdSfomI
Underwater (50.26s) Here's an interesting level because of the way you can finish it. You can go by the fans (I hated the fact I got thrown by them too high ) or you can go from the outside (hard, but if you manage it, brings the time down really good!). Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtlVudXQfWU
A Day At Work (2:12.33s) Not a hard level once you get used to it Not a hard level once you get used to it, but the only thing I hate in there is the low 'SuperJump' powerup [4th one in the level]. Pisses me off. Besides that, fun level so enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8v1foUlU2o
Tech Fold Maze: Per request from Perishingflames for a good path, here's my quick sub-1 minute method. Enjoy. There is no gold time on the level. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vxvg1Oazezw
Platform Party Revisited: While that my camera goes bad for some reason, I managed to yet again piss everyone off by still having that background song singing... I'll switch to another song in the next video, lol! Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bD8vVTRA2rY
Phil's Hole - Another Marble Mini Golf Teaser - This time I chose this hole because it was beautifully made and easy. The start help text says to go fast only after I mastered this course. I didn't listen to it and done this beautiful run. Apparently, I managed a 0.79 secs first time travel and on another run, a 5.07 2nd time travel, so cut me down in the final time and you get a nice sub-8 seconds possibility. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RLhGCMl8oZM
Find the Finish - Grand Finale - Perishingflames has done this fun short level without thinking of my small shortcut . Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi_ieLr_F04
Upward Spiral On Drugs! - Perishingflames was on drugs while making this level, therefore the name. We are lucky Alex Swanson wasn't on drugs when he created his levels. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bs7gU3FVuIM
Speed Bounce (23.37s & 21.08s): Here're 2 paths (the faster one I discovered today, just 45 minutes ago) for this awesome level. Probably one of my most favourite levels ever! It's so fun! Too bad it's too short Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qLYqJGAZyI
Castle Wars (53.11s): My deadliest path for 57 seconds gets another upgrade which really does the job! I guess a sub-50 is possible after all Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mQCq33Ybi2g
Chevy Beginner: Per request from Steven, here's Chevy's Beginner (I'M NOT GONNA SAY THE FRIGGING WHOLE NAME FOR THAT LEVEL!). Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FCvcwZrBD5U
Chevy Advanced: Per request from Steven, here's Chevy's Advanced (I'M NOT GONNA SAY THE FRIGGING WHOLE NAME FOR THAT LEVEL!). Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15CP17RR7Hc
Complete Video Guide for Marble Blast Ultra - Part 1: Credits to DankInfluence who had given me permission to upload his video to Youtube. I had uploaded the video as-is except for the 10 secs start addition and the subtitles. Each subtitle says the level name. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIXX0scR-78
Complete Video Guide for Marble Blast Ultra - Part 2: Credits to DankInfluence who had given me permission to upload his video to Youtube. I had uploaded the video as-is except for the 10 secs start addition and the subtitles. Each subtitle says the level name. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXa8y4E_kw4
Complete Video Guide for Marble Blast Ultra - Part 3: Credits to DankInfluence who had given me permission to upload his video to Youtube. I had uploaded the video as-is except for the 10 secs start addition and the subtitles. Each subtitle says the level name. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9FKCyp-RrE
Complete Video Guide for Marble Blast Ultra - Part 4: Credits to DankInfluence who had given me permission to upload his video to Youtube. I had uploaded the video as-is except for the 10 secs start addition and the subtitles. Each subtitle says the level name. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nnpKQ4kI23E
Ben Enterprises (54.08s): Took me a while to get a good sub-1 minute path, but ends up nicely. Top time is 49.xx seconds. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rU6a1P7zWE
Windy Peak (22.66s): At the past I hated this level and counted it as impossible. Now I realised the path and made short work of it. Gold's impossible. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WuN8RsSJRgY
Marble Manor (2:39.88s): I have the path, but I kept making mistakes. In the maze itself, I should NOT have used the jump+SJ combo and instead just hit a wall, grab the 3rd gem, and jump+SJ to 4th gem, and then Jump+SJ to 5th gem, to get on a wall and get last gem and finish. Oh well. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9FRT-IGit0
Ricochet 2 (29.59) Andrew's level get a sequel and so does the video Ok, lame joke, sorry. Anyway, this fun but short level is... fun. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPaiOrVtNNg
Wave Jumping (60:00.999s+) This level is quite annoying if you cannot get a good squeeze (MBUers: TRAPLAUNCH . Yes, I know it's traplaunch and yes I both use terms!) like me... until you get this ending squeeze... which is as high as I can get. Enjoy. PS - 60:00.999s is the maximum time you can get in MBG/MBU because... well, the codes say so, but if you're bored you can change it to 99:59.999s. Anyway, I did 60:00.999s+ to show I did more time than the maximum (same as IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO FINISH THIS LEVEL) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVj8jB-gtjw
Gravity Aim (1:41.15s) Apprently it was supposed to be one of Andrew Sear's more challenging levels, but I did 8/9 gems in 20 minutes and after 10 minutes of recording and re-recording, I got this run Not gold (no idea what he did for it), but good enough. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zK68WTwH7pU
Drawbridge (4.95s) An easy level to get gold on, harder to get sub 5 and almost impossible for the sub 4 (I'll do a video for it!). Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79dEkZCpqCI
Gravity Flier (9.01s, 8.51s & 8.12s) Same level, same path, just different ways I've done the starts (from a messed up start to a really good one). Triple Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrHgeihE4YQ
Platform Ride to Hell III: Fortress (54.97s) That was an impossible level for me until Ian fixed it by removing 2 of the purple 'teeth' cones. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4a5qUGbLCyE
Marble Melee Primer (15.51s) Could've done SO much better and yet I missed such great runs. Anyway, I'll try and capture a better one. Marble Melee Primer was one of the 2 Easter Eggs in CLAV7, hence the additional interiors needed to play it which can be found in the Custom Levels Archive V7's Interiors file. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YASk-pBq7ek
Highway to Marbleland (2:27.44s) An intermediate kind of challenging level from Pascal. It seems hard but with the knowledge of some good tricks, you can pass the hard bits really easily! Enjoy. PS - Pascal: Your best level EVER! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZTaHCUMmxQ

Survival of the Fittest - Misses, Flukes and World Records! Call it a Pop, Call it a Squeeze, Call it a Traplaunch, But you will never get a more funny, amusing and interesting archive of the very same level! This is Survival of the Fittest 's traplaunch, where you need to get from the start to the finish. The MBU top time is 7.27 seconds (top time)... well, we (*points to Pascal*) destroyed it (at the end). Now, Pascal HATES to show his 'OOBing' and other misses so there are very few vids of it from him, but there're lots of misses and laughs from my side. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=umktO2krzt0

Re: Matan's Videos Topic « Reply #4 on Nov 10, 2006, 8:31am »
Cardcaddy's Gem Collection (3:33.29s) This is an insane level. You will not believe how many times it took me to record this. By far, except for 4 Fold Maze, this is the longest level coverage I had on video.
The first part (0:00.00 - 2:00.69) was beautifully done with only one Gyrocopter mis-use, no complaints otherwise, with most of the board completed easily!
The second part (2:00.69 - 3:33.29s) was gone wrong. I mis-used the Gyrocopter twice: at 2:0x and at 2:3x [27th gem]. I used it when I didn't due to mis-calculations of platform launches. From there it went fine again, then I messed up the ending: I thought I won't get the last gem, and as I went out of its range and looked up, ends up I could've got it and go to goal. Instead, what that happened was... well.. you will see it for yourself.
So overall the sub-3 minutes is actually possible (if I didn't mess up the 2nd part), but it's hard to do, probably.
Hop Skip and a Jump (9.78s) I remembered reading on the forums thats someone once did 10.20 seconds without using the Gyrocopter, so I wondered how. I was playing around seeing how it is possible to get to the finish in such a low time... and I found out how... and even broke the 10 seconds mark! Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QIxyCnOOpIk
Chevy's Final Challenge of All (12.59s) There's only one route to take and it's pretty obvious. Nothing special in here, really. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5x2gW--fZJk
Get High (10.43s) My friend got addicted to Marble Blast Gold and wanted to create his own level. Here's the solution to the level. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp3yrkn_EWY
The Tortoise and the Hare (1:06.77s) My pathway to this level. Please be excat on timing or else it won't work. The secondary route is for slower people, where you do the same thing, expect you superjump at the end (when the platform sends you up) so that you get at the second platform and a bit later the small platform comes from below and shoots you high up to the goal. I did 1:30 mins using that way. Anyway, try and hit the ceiling in the middle and not the edge like I did in here! Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-V56ZSfMDM

Razac (36.10s) (or: Matan goes "mad" again!) Self explanatory video. Never mix boredom, TV, MBG, video recording and Matan together. This recipe is banned everywhere in the universe and beyond it. Unfortunately, we were too eager to know what happens if this is actually done, and here're the results. Enjoy?

Half Pipe Elite Extreme (18.22s) Wow, this was a very interesting half pipe level! It was hard to find the path for the level and to pull it right on video! I had a 21 seconds best time not on video and I didn't think I could do less than 21, so I wanted to settle for a 2nd best time. Surprisingly, I managed to pull out this excellent run, although it's not the "perfect" run, but a close call to it.
Enjoy!
Here's the perfect run outline:
First time travel at 2.96 seconds (personal best) Do the same as I did for the 2nd TT+Gem and continue like this for third and fourth. Ends up that if you hit the floor and then go on the pipe (for 3rd gem), you go faster than had you hit the pipe and rebounded back up. Once you get the fourth gem, activate the super speed you have and try and activate the remaining super speeds (all 3 of them). Now, either you go, like I did in the video, for the first TT and gem and then rebound high enough to catch the 2nd TT with enough spin to sneak the 6th gem and into the pipe (and of course high shoot to goal) OR (what I would try): Get the 2nd TT, sneak the gem, go in the half pipe and shoot back up in order to catch the TT and fall down, sneak the gem and finish.
Training Course 1 (45.49s) It took to me some time to get used to this level and how to play it and basically to get used to this path, but it worked out all nicely. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXCg5iGCTms
High is never too high (12.80s) Thanks to my computer that cannot activate everything at once, I have to activate everything by pressing the mouse really fast. OTHERS can do 0.00s because of their computer, but who cares?! My best time is 1 second better. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UmAKW9hcY3E

Tunnel Vision (1:43.56s) & Map Solution I finally did a video! I finally decided to play this level after a very long time and I even remembered the path! So here's my video for it. I know it makes no sense since the camera was down (LAG OTHERWISE!) so I did a map solution! That solution, however, is at the end of the video, so please wait!
Enjoy and finish, once and for all, Tunnel Vision!

Skyway (29.35s, 18.64s & 14.13s) I remembered seeing on YouTube a video for sub-1 minute on this level, but its creator said it was the fastest path. Before that video, I did 3x.xx seconds on that level using my own path. While making this video (29.35s), I found another new path (18.64s) and a tweak for it (14.13s). Triple enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCjQ72fcvWg

Zigro (8.09s) This is the first level from Luke that is actually good so I decided to make a video for this special occasion. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5hsXGaDc1do
Tunnel Vision - Double Maze (46.43s) & Map Solution This is my next level (yet to be released) which will also be featured in the Community Group Level (just without the end pad, and with an addition help trigger at the start). Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vP5735s6jTk

The Marble Room (21.09s) I was bored at midnight (some minutes ago) and browsed through youtube videos when I discovered PF's video for The Marble Room. Without wasting a single moment, I went to download the level and immediatly set up the camera. Who would believe I would discover the SJ trick, the "up-the-ramp" trick and then finishing with the superspeed to help me out SO QUICKLY (2 minutes for all 3 tricks!). Enjoy and hopefully Perishingflames will do a new video, showing a better time
Re: Matan's Videos Topic « Reply #20 on Nov 21, 2006, 7:31am »
Tightrope Challenge #2 was actually created by Ian. It says in the description.
Half Pipe Elite Extreme was also not created by Chevy Mac. It was just that the link to the download was wrong. I'll bet that when you downloaded it, you clicked on the link for Chevy's Final Tower Challenge.

Highway #2 (54.14s) Everything you see is the work of mistakes. Nothing was intended to happen but once all mistakes happened, I realised I could use them in my favor to reach the goal in a new way. Enjoy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtUvixIucjI

Replay of the Day 23/11/06 - Rated X: Expert (1:29.59s) I think making this a usual thing for now. Basically I record a level as good as I can and then doing a narration via Windows Movie Maker while seeing the movie real-time. The result is hilarious.
Why did I do it? Because these horse racing commentators cannot be understood with all their shoutings... so I decided to try it too, and it worked!

Replay of the day 24/11/06 - Mega Course (53.98s) This is by far Luke's best level. It was supposed to be long (intermediate challenge?) but I broke the 1 minute mark yet again using 3 gyrocopters and an edge hit Enjoy!

Battlecube (22.02s)
I was able to totally replicate this level and then I let myself run wildly! I I was able to totally replicate this level and then I let myself run wildly! I resized everything but the gems to 0.6 0.6 0.6, then instead of Mega Marble I put 5 seconds Time Travels and then randomly spread gems as my likings (and hopefully not making a path). Ends up I found a very nice path for a low time!
This level is part of a level pack with unknown release date.
