Marble Blast Gold - World Record Rampage #4 (SDA Update 3) - RELEASED!

Wow nice job on moto marblecross and I thought about going myself for that but best I can do is 2.121 xD I probably wont get tango but i'll try a bit more I got really lucky that one time on lbs but in reality its so hard to get sub 3 I got it only 3 times(none in my recent wr attempts)

Pitfalls (10.326).

Nice iMac! I'm currently thinking of an edge-hit off the hole on the flat platform (the first one) to the second platform and get to the finish!

Crazy stuff guys, that's awesome. Do send everything, please.

Please note I will be updating this table this week (hopefully tomorrow) and record all videos this weekend or next week.
I've upgraded my computer with liquid cooling and added some premium fans to match, so I will play around with overclocking and hopefully get things done faster.

I doubt that's possible, m2mm4m. I've tried it myself but never even got close.

Matan, be prepared to get some more bloopers within the coming days.

Also, Gyrocopter 2.777 (2014-09-24) That means that there is only one level left that had its WR broken in 2008.

As promised, I updated everything. Submissions are still closing at 1st October, so if you want more .recs do it now.
We have 61 levels improved, which is insane. More than WRR#3 so it goes to show the amount of improvement and dedication that went here, and massive kudos to all participants.
New stuff from Powerjohn includes a Leap of Faith and Around the World. iMac now appears for Skyscraper and Pitfalls.

Kalle29 I watched your Money Tree and it's brilliant. I tried that ending myself and it's legit super hard. Shame you didn't get a shot directly to the gem as that would've saved at least a second or two on its own. If anyone would like to try it out, find attached the .rec file.

Holy wow at that ending. I can imagine how many tries that must've took, and the rest of the route before it isn't easy either. Amazing tweak

Yeah, only managed to do that once. And just a small thing, several of my times say "2009", it should be 2014.

Fixed, sorry about that. I thought I had written them correctly but did not and well copypaste job did not help

Tube Treasure – 24.578 – 25 Sep 2014 – Mason "Nihahhat" Langenderfer

I can probably go faster, but navigating in pipes is really annoying. If I don't beat it by the deadline, I'll submit this .rec.

Good job Nihahhat!!! PS. also added you on instagram

Well done Nihahhat. I was going for that WR myself earlier today, but since you got it I see no reason for me to keep on trying. The other level I've been trying to beat is Skyscraper, although I've lost all motivation after being on sub 23 pace and then missing the goal... You'll probably get to see that in the blooper video.

Well done to everyone else as well! I remember Pascal saying after WRR#3 that MBG probably wouldn't get another major improvement. But here we are, with an even bigger improvement.

[strike]Anyway, I won't break any more WRs as I don't have the time or energy as of now. But hey, 18 new Wrs isn't too bad.[/strike]

Thanks guys I just got a 24.562, massive improvement I know

Can I still send bloopers even if I don't succeed on battlements?

Note that the bloopers I include from people are the ones they have records on by the time the rampage finishes.

You need a record for your bloopers to accepted. You could ask him to include them anyway though

Edit:
Fan lift 8.487 (2014-09-27)

Tube Treasure – 24.531 – 28 Sep 2014 – Mason "Nihahhat" Langenderfer

Okay, I'm satisfied now lol

[strike].rec will be submitted shortly.[/strike] .rec submitted

mathmusicmarbleblast: if you don't have a WR on a level on the rampage, your bloopers for that particular level will not be shown.

Kalle29: received .rec. I'll add it on 1st October to the list in case any last second submissions occur.
iMac's marble skin had been received.
Nihahhat: don't forget marble skin when submitting.

I'll be giving everyone another 48 hours and 10 minutes from this time of post to submit WRs. Anyone doing after that will not be accepted unless I decide otherwise in due time.

i don't have the WR on space slide, but i did do a double mine hit (the second one sends me flying up)
if you don't accept, i'll show it in my marble blast random levels 16 video!

SUBMISSIONS ARE CLOSED.

Thank you all!

Will start recording and update progress on my end.

Nihahhat, when checking out your .rec I kept getting crashes. It would just refuse to load the level.
Any idea why?

Hmm, Did you have his marble skin Matan?

I have a .rec of 24.53, I can send you it if you want it. Will try to improve until you respond

StewMan46 wrote: Hmm, DId you have his marble skin Matan?

What does marble skin even has to do with this? This is MBG, it doesn't care what marble skin you put on the marble. For all it cares it can be horrendous pictures from the deep bowls of some of the worst internet sites that some people like linking me to for no apparent reason.

Kalle29: If you want, sure, but I won't get around to record vids so if you want to continue working on it, there's an extension until the 9th October.

I can just record everything and send to you if you want. .recs work fine on my end. Haven't a clue what could be going on otherwise.

(c'mon... I finally get a chance to be in the MBG rampage, and the recording fails )

EDIT: Jeff said he got the .rec working 100% on a RealArcade non-ignition copy of MBG.

I think you should send them. Besides this is your first one and I would hate to see you not competing.

I feel kinda bad for pushing you out of the rampage but...

Tube Treasure 24.336 (2014-10-06)

I'll see if I can improve even further on this, but I doubt it

Nice Kalle29..

Though I do feel abit bad for Niha, u beat him 3/3 of his WRs..

Edit: Or well, afaik not really his WRs, but the levels I knew he was going for.

Yea, so do I.

StewMan46 wrote: Yea, so do I.

Honestly, I do too.
I at least hope he can be in the bloopers, I really do.

I am an idiot, and I apologize for Nihahhat for that.
And also not apologizing, because of this:

I tried running kalle29's .rec and got the same crash. Confused I checked the console.log and found out what I missed with nihahhat's log (dunno how) and that was MISSING INTERIORS. Somehow I had a bad copy (from my copypaste) and the textures and interiors were blank despite filesize being correct.
Copypasted again and everything works again! WOO!

Anyway I watched both .recs (why only Kalle29?) and saw two completely different runs. I knew both approaches would be faster/slower at times but I wanted to see better whether the movement were correct. Having recorded both versions I compared them and for your pleasure, here's a table to reference:

Gem Number / Point of Reference	Kalle29's Time	Nihahhat's Time	Time Difference
1	1.20	1.29	+0.09
2	3.36	3.51	+0.15
3	6.34	6.35	+0.01
4	8.65	8.62	-0.03
5	11.18	11.04	-0.14
6	15.27	15.09	-0.18
7	17.45	17.25	-0.20
8	18.84	18.79	-0.05
marble touches blue tube	21.37	20.81	-0.56
9	22.19	21.79	-0.40
touch 2nd part of tube (towards finish)	23.18	23.04	-0.14
End	24.33	24.53	+0.20

I can conclude that Kalle29's approach was better for the first two gems, and then bad. Despite that he made up with a better 7th to 8th gems thanks to not jumping from upper green tube, but that immediately backfired, but seems to have had a better method at the end as well? Not sure.
This makes me believe that sub 24.2 is very possible and maybe even sub-24? If we get Nihahhat's improvements in a couple of important parts then wow. As such since there are 3 more days before submissions are closed, I call competition! Nihahhat gets another chance!
Download the .recs and watch them side by side. Differences are OBVIOUS in every single part of the run! Even the start which seems to be barely visible in terms of difference is actually obvious.
