It seems Shin'en thought this track was better without the classic shortcut and thus patched it out in v1.3 by specifically adding additional gravity over the gap, thus making it unscalable. I wanted to improve it more before uploading, but now that opportunity is gone.
It's disappointing because I was working within their already constraining checkpoint system and that wasn't even enough for them. Now Chuoku City in RMX will never be as exciting or interesting for the most dedicated part of the fanbase, because jumps this big feel satisfying to take and blocking it is a sign that Shin'en has misunderstood the game genre a bit.
