However i got knocked down in the begining which really slowed me down.
1 KD can mess up a run. People who are poor sports can mess up runs. I've had several people just kd when im leading and far in the lead to just because im the leader.
To get 480k with 1 SRB is godly. No KDs, no distruptions, and Minimal lag, i think i could post a 460k time MAYBE with 1 SRB. I don't see how you can keep up the speed in certain segements to get a 480k time.
There are four main slow segments: in the cave, in the water/leading up to the big 90degree turn hill, the spiral bridge right after the hill, and then the last uphill stretch before the finish line.
With luck, you can hit echo+SRB at the cave and have 90% rrpm from the cave all the way past the 90degree hill. This is enough to easily get you 460k+ with no KDs. However, with the z-axis fail and who the hell knows how it calculates its rrpm/momentum gauge for speed, the abilty to keep speed up through the remain sections with just 1 boost and 1 ram is just hard.
I know that from the spiral bridge on is my weakest part of the races, but not matter what i try, i cant find a way to keep up speed through there.
But this isnt a how to post the best time thread.
The point is to have 2 people post over 50% of the best times is just wrong Putting aside the fact that multiples in the top 100 shouldn't be allow, there has to be more than just Luck going on here. Skill in this can only get you so far, and i'm thinking there has to be a few tricks in the game, that everyone else doesn't know about. Not cheats, but tricks. Ie (sometimes in the starting booth you can get more than 25% rrpm by strafing side to side really fast. or if you go diagonal down a hill you can gain rrpm faster) However i can't get these consistently to work.
But still it can't be jsut luck for two guys to run half of the top 100.

I don't know, It's random I think, the speed buff and boost. Sometimes, i go f*ing slower going downhill?!
