I Found A Faster Line Mid Tournament...

Title: found a new line Reality: I have no idea why I'm suddenly faster

[@deponentfutures]

It's crazy that Wirtual suddenly got better without realizing it. It's like he subconsciously found the optimal line.

He is so good at figuring stuff out and being well-rounded he just figured out the actual optimal way.

[@inconsistenttutorialuploader]

​@@ac0unt_un04timestamp?

[@aGoshDarnTravesty]

Watching AR_Down in the last few runs was crazy. Consistently middle of the pack for a lot of the run, but coming out of that last wallride they rocket up to max speed and start pulling ahead every time. They are the only one in the group that goes wide setting up to that wallride.

Wirtual is scarily consistent it's insane and through his consistency he only get's better with every run

[@swaticamecho698]

7:19 I replayed the entirety of deltarune just to remember what theme was playing there. I cant remember something as simple as " Field of Hopes and Dreams" but I can remember "Androphonovania"

[@mattstewart8351]

It’s the jump at 20 seconds during the lap. Jumping up higher has a bigger slope, more speed.

[@CamelliaOleifera]

imo i think it’s also the cleaner cuts across the grass corners at like 14 seconds, since that’s when his splits started jumping up too

[@demonindenim]

and in the bigger jumps where he turns in the air, that made a huge difference

[@zideane1]

After the wallride at the start he starts getting closer to the tree on the left of his car, starts to get a speed slide on a section he was going straight on from what i could see but i imagine it was a combo of things

[@BingeCastDale]

Something to do with the variable geometry of the rolling hills allows Wirt to transition from inefficient lines to a line that better holds the force and angle of the grass slide

[@theapexsurvivor9538]

Yeah, cleaner landing on first jump with better angle kept the initial speed and allowed for some better steering, and combined with the big left after the turnover which had a small hop that gave him a much better angle to retain and build speed. Kinda crazy how tiny interactions like that produce such huge changes.

[@sandpatch133]

Since the map is called Rorvik I guess it represents Rørvik. The large bridge might be the Nærøysund bridge, the ferry seems to be a generic Norwegian ferry and tower might be Rørvik-Ryum Airport.

[@augustinochlafen2090]

Hey you see I don't mind the cuts in between rounds but don't cut things like when he checks the WR run and stuff I feel like that's important to let in

[@gomjabbar6246]

I need a hero to show me a side by side of wirt on the 'good' line he finds and the 'bad' line he starts out on...because I cannot see any difference at all. edit: Ok, I tried to watch his run at 12 min and his run at 22 min and the difference I see is him exaggerating the things he mentioned after the gps watch: he's even lower on the enterance to the turn over and even tighter to the inside on the next turn. People who know anything, is that right? edit 2: right after I resumed to video at the run through 23:45, he says it's a bad start after being wider on the next turn, but what looked about the same out of the turn over. I don't get it.

[@username2748]

The very first jump. He changes his approach. He turns sharply on it. After the jump, he makes a very sharp right turn. This drastically improves his positioning at the start. (you can see him go from 30th or so to top 5 or so every time he takes this turn). The rest is pretty normal.

[@gomjabbar6246]

@@username2748 derp, it has to be before the turn over since his split is top five before he gets there. Thanks for the heads up on exactly what it was before then. I'll run the two next to each other a bunch and hopefully I see it. edit: I see the approach to the first jump being closer to the left side of the track on the faster run. Thanks again! I also see wirt air broke on the faster run which stopped him from bouncing on the landing, maybe that helped too...I haven't even downloaded the game. I should download the game.

[@theapexsurvivor9538]

@@gomjabbar6246 there was also an improvement in the big left after the turnover, might have been a result of the extra speed going into it, but it seems like it was was just inconsistent with the lower speed.

The problem with this map of the day is you cannot really make mistakes. You can powerslide slightly wrong and lose 0.2 seconds, or miss a corner and hit the grass, but there are no walls, no jumps, nothing that can go wrong to turn things around, it all comes down to whoever gets the worst line in that run and you just need to hope more people make micro mistakes to keep you in it.

[@foxxinrox]

I'm kinda late to the party, but I want to chime in as someone who doesn't actually play the game and thus relies entirely on the visuals that I witness rather than the ingrained 'feel' and instinct of a player. The issue that was costing you speed in the beginnings of the earlier runs (aside from misplays like clipping corners too hard) was that there were two little corners that you would 'wiggle' around. You would corner around one and then overcorrect for the next one and then have to re-correct your angle to corner the next edge. Every time I saw this wiggle I thought to myself "Dude, even I can see you are wasting movements". Any time lost in the middle of the track was because you tried driving too straight into angled downhills and losing out on a lot of the 'down' part of the downhill. It's one of those tracks where a slightly more circuitous route is faster because of the speed pickup, like when you saw that going wide and low-to-high into the first wall ride got higher speed into the straightaway. It looked like some of the places where going wide for the steeper downhill was the optimal route, you would take a straight + shallow path into the turn and end up not getting the full downhill + turning harder than necessary when a more curved overall path would have been smoother and thus saved the most speed. But those are just my thoughts as a youtube casual, despite my hours upon hours of watching you and others play, my mental feel for the physics engine could just be way off base.

[@kaldogorath]

I think Wirt has a strange idea of what NASCAR is. Even ignoring the grass, it's just like a short oval, no tech, full speed turning left all day.
