(PLCHLDR) Marble Blast Gold - World Record Rampage #5 (SDA Update 4)

So I was playing Winding Road for no apparent reason and I totally accidentally got 10.08 after 5 minutes and maybe I'll do some improvement later on. I'm happy I didn't forget to make a .rec this time.
Oh yeah, I also got 9.154 on Newton Knew Best.
And have you seen the last traplaunch on my Getting Squeezed run for the third Marble Blast Platinum World Record Rampage? It was pretty cool. Check out my channel. Sub4sub.
Wonder Woman is also pretty hot.

Did I mention I was the first to do GD double trap?!?! (Also accident cuz im just like that xD)

o ya and i did battlements trap to get 8.28 and i has da wr on 69th level mbp but this isnt mbp is it also im gonna meet rosie irl

King of the Mountain 5.078 - 21 January 2018.

Ramps Reloaded 13.369 Feb 17th 2018

This took a lot of analysing to get right, the ending is incredibly tight and I had to practice it a lot, but boy did it pay off.

Two levels very close to the magical sub

Block Party 20.146 - Feb 16th
Skate Park 20.180 - Feb 17th

King of the Mountain 4.307 - 17 February 2018.
(Also I don't know thousandths places for some of your times, I'm filling in the ones I do know now.)

Skate Park 20.000 - Getting hard to improve but sub definitely doable

Stepping Stones 8.532 - Good enough run

Both feb 18th

Escher's race 25.511 Feb 19th 2018

Shock Drop 4.146 - 21/02/2018

Hot dang this could go much lower than I first thought, Escher's Race 24.871, Feb 22nd 2018

Battlements 5.289

Twisting the Night Away 18.152 (Feb 23rd 2018)

The sub has finally been achieved, and with a new tweak, has gone past my expectations.
Ramp Matrix 17.938 - March 11, 2018

TTNA 18.02, .rec desynched to 18.03 but I don't care, the difference is insignificant

Marble Playground 28.593 - March 10th 2018
Spork in the Road 11.360 - March 10th 2018

Both improvable (Spork in the road a little bit more)

Y'all mind if I just...

Tube Treasure 22.725 - march 13th 2018

yay more subs

Half Pipe Elite 11.906 - March 15th

Well, there goes another 2009 record.
Half-Pipe 3.828 March 17, 2018

Learn the Super Jump 2.943 - 17/03/2018

EDIT: #itstands as I can't improve it

More 2009 times!
Marbletris 5.172 - March 17, 2018

As of right now, any videos I have received that are not on .rec (and are not from previous rampages) are probably getting rejected until further notice. I'm beyond tired of the wild s*** we're getting on videos without any sort of consistency. There is no reason you can't do a .rec.

Pitfalls 10.274

Thrill Ride 3.031
The sub may be possible but it would have to be an extremely perfect run.

I've been told many times that cross platform .recs don't work, so as opposed to always relying on the few staff members who use Mac it would be more convenient to have the option of recording some things ourselves. As far as I know NF, Rosie and I record on Mac at the moment. I am aware there are still Windows users who are sending in screen recordings but some of them have desync issues from what I've heard. It would be really cool if you could repost the exact rules you have in mind cause I've heard speculation about changing the resolution but I don't know if that's been set in stone. I also think it's easy for people to forget how to set the exact sound settings, custom resolution etc. using the console at least I've found from my experience.

More subs and good times (and on .rec holy shit)

Spork in the road 10.989

Tri Twist 21.138

Marble Playground 28.567

All March 25th

There is no reason at all that you wouldn't want to use .recs. They are just so much more convenient—small file size, playable at any resolution, recording with any marble skin, and if your sound settings are wrong Matan knows the right ones—he'll record everything for you, all you have to do is send in a few tiny files and you don't have to do any more work! Many people also don't have the capability to record at 1920 x 1080 with 60 FPS, leading to resolution and marble skin inconsistencies (like those few Xelna runs in MBG WRR 4, of which only Daedalus remains). As for Mac versus Windows, I have followed the instructions of making .recs since June 2015 on a Mac and I have never had an issue with them, they always play back fine and it's certainly much less work than direct screen recording, as well as not taking up large amounts of space on my hard drive. I will continue to use .recs and .rrecs whenever I can as they are incredibly more convenient than screen recording. Also it would be lovely to be able to download the whole rampage as .rec files like you could with MBG WRR 2 and 3 so that you could see the runs directly on your own computer.

Apologies if this post came out a bit sour sounding but I felt it had to be said.

I do agree that being able to play a .rec at any resolution and with any marble skin is convenient. However things like .rec files being super small in terms of file size isn't necessary at all to some people (I know that a lot of people don't have 2 TB of space but recording files aren't THAT big), and there are easy ways to get around having the wrong sound settings (although in a worst-case scenario, it would suck for Matan... big time).

My main issue though is no matter how consistent .recs are, manual recordings will always be the most consistent and there won't be as many possible issues. My .rec for Money Tree kept crashing in different places when I played it a couple dozen times. My Battlements .rec is just a nightmare to begin with. You've even had issues yourself with your own .recs where it messes up in places when there's no reason for it to. (Mainly looking at Scaffold here.)

I think in a perfect world, we'd be able to use the .rrec system from PQ for MBG, but if we're just going with what we have now, I'm fine with using .recs as long as manual recordings can be used as a last-source backup.

No, stick to MBG. It's best to just use the vanilla game instead of mods.

First of all, .rrecs/.avi are easier to cheat than .recs. This is important to catch cheating (including unintentional cheating) since the game is trivially easy to cheat.

Secondly, don't change the rules of the game after it has started. It was unfortunate that MBP got small changes but that's what happened, so the most fair thing is for everyone to use the real game.

One could argue about certain levels and people in terms of where direct video is more appropriate to use. But on the whole .rec is the way to go.

Regarding Rosie's Battlements, it's certainly a strange case since apparently she got an angle that no one else has managed to get ever and the .rec gives "regular" angles you would expect from that gate trap.
