[LIVE WR] ESWC F-0 - 34.88

[@c4rbin]

is there any reason a speed slide isnt done here? looks very doable (i don’t play stadium so idk anything lmfao)

[@HellisCatus]

Simply because there isn't really any space for a speedslide on this map. You can easily trigger one anywhere during the 2nd/3rd lap, but you're just gonna end up crashing into the wall, since you have virtually no space left to slide. You barely have enough space to drive normally, let alone speedslide :þ The only place a speedslide could be successfully triggered is during the last turn of the 1st lap (the corner at 0:18), where crossing the ramm can possibly trigger a small speedslide tight enough to not kill the run. However, it is really hard to trigger the speedslide there due to the lack of speed, and it only gives you a minor speed advantage anyways (like ~0.02 seconds over a normal run, really not worth it imho)

i dont know how you find so much time in this map

[@HellisCatus]

@@ZAPT-sg5ws If you look on TMX at my former WRs, you're going to notice that a lot of them were done right before or right after midnight. Whenever I feel like I'm done with whatever I had to do for the day, usually after 10 PM, I hop on F-0 and play the map for a couple of hours until I either get a new WR or become so tired I cannot play the map anymore. This has quite unsurprisingly lead to a loss of sleep quality, so I cannot reccomend this strategy, but it does allow me to play this map for quite some time at the expense of some hours of sleep lol

@@HellisCatus I was more talking about the wr time rather than your playtime on the map. However, the amount of dedication towards the map is incredible, you stand above all hope you will soon be satisfied and fix you sleep quality👍

[@HellisCatus]

@@ZAPT-sg5ws Ah, I see. The reason I find so much time to save on this map is because the more I play this map, the more I find ways to optimize how I take the corners at each turn. For example, I discovered that the entire 2nd lap can be done almost fullspeed, that alone can save ~0.10 seconds. I also found out how to approach the entrance into the 3rd lap (by far the hardest part of the map, since it's the only part where you have to time your release), saving another ~0.10 seconds. I also found out that, if the turns are perfectly-timed, you can do the last two turns of the map fullspeed as well, saving yet another ~0.05 seconds. That's already a quarter of a second saved lol This is how I still find ways to improve the WR on this map, and don't worry, this F-0 fever won't last much longer for me ^^

@@HellisCatus thanks for the detailed responses, I'll see you in your next wr video for whatever map it will be

Cool but .87 when?

[@HellisCatus]

Hopefully soon enough, .87 is indeed my goal

[@mihcai]

.87 or slow

[@HellisCatus]

@@mihcai I agree honestly, .87 is indeed what I would also consider a decent time. I did have a massive .7x fail a few hours ago, that run would've even beaten the TAS on this map xdd

[@mihcai]

@HellisCatus erm, on second thoughts, dont come to TM2020 i like being no1 romania player there and not having to compete against a god
