Probably one of the runs that I feel the best about in this game, despite it not being the greatest quality run. It feels good to be able to say that, because after D06 I was really re-evaluating a lot of things.
I consider D06 to be my best quality (Lagoon) run, but shortly after I saw that riolu had commented on that video with some nice words, I really thought about things and I really started feeling down on myself and felt guilty in a way, because here I was passing that off as some nice accomplishment, but 90% of what I accomplished in that run was just done by copying what riolu did note for note (and doing literally everything worse while copying, btw). I applied a bit of my own knowledge to get the hill section more consistently fast than I was at first, but for the most part, totally unoriginal. I also got 8th in the world on D05 between that run and this one, and I didn't upload that because honestly, I wasn't too proud of that either because, despite it being pretty nice and clean, all I did was pretty much copy mime's line.
I came to this realization that I had nothing original to show for myself, and I wasn't too happy with myself. My best runs were kind of a sham, just a cheap ripoff of something that someone else had already done better. I had provided nothing new for the community. I hadn't gotten a world record, discovered any cuts or provided any knowledge, and my best runs were based on someone else's knowledge.
I think three of those things are still true. However, this run was done almost entirely with strats I figured out for myself (not discovered, but I learned it on my own instead of using someone's ghost). The only thing I really took from someone else was learning from Kazemede's run that you could get the magnet speed boost in lap 1, but I didn't really know HOW to get it. I was scratching my head over that for a while, but I figured out a line to get it on my own.
This is the first solid run I got that I felt like was actually my own run, in Lagoon at least. I think the quality of the run reflects that, as it's pretty sloppy, but it was enough to make that spicy world leaderboard. I still haven't really brought anything to the community, which I'm still self-conscious about, and this run is surely still worse in pretty much every way than what top players have done, but at least I got something nice playing my own way instead of someone else's. Can definitely save a lot of time though, maybe I will some time. Boost in lap 3 was kinda sloppy I think.
I can't really say I feel "fulfilled," though. I want to bring some innovation to the table, I want to provide something that's not already there. And, of course, getting a wr is the dream :P But, sadly, I think I might just suck too much for either to be a possibility. FeelsBadMan
Also, not even state record! :P Kazemede is nuts.
Cam 3 because cam 1 and 2 are terrible for this, plus it hides my bad lines better :P I like the skin though, so that's a shame.
