One of my most reasonable dreams in Trackmania has always been to get in the top 9 world rankings in at least one map, but everything was out of my skill range. But when I came across this level, I checked the rankings and I saw a pretty sizable gap between 1st (like mid 42) and 9th (roughly 44.03). I thought to myself, "yeah, I might be able to get myself in there somewhere." Still kind of a pipe dream, but I wanted to at least give it a shot.
So I set out to do exactly that, and after much learning, and... well, pretty much copying a lot of riolu's homework tbh, I got myself my first clean run, a nice 44.06 10th place run, which was pretty darn cool :D But I really wanted that 9th spot, because unless you're top 10 or you haven't played the level, you don't see 10th on the leaderboard, and I wanted to be able to flex that. After a while, I got myself a 44.026 or something, putting me in that spot, which was a happy moment. Still, I had failed a lot of runs on better pace, so I knew I could reasonably save time, and I figured whenever someone else got a top time, my time would be the first on the leaderboard to go since I was 9th :P So I put in a lot of practice to get a really solid run.
Finally, after some reworking, especially on the ending, I got this awesome run, and my rank shot up to 3rd! Which surprised me a little, because I knew Lumby was 2nd with like a 42.7, so I figured my ranking wouldn't be quite so good. I guess I shouldn't be too proud, since the gap between me and 2nd is pretty massive, but hey, bronze on a map is pretty nice, even if it's not the most hunted. Nice to be able to say that only riolu and Lumby are faster than me on this map right now :D
It is pretty funny looking at my run in comparison to the other top 10 times, and they all just pull away from me like a car length. They're all together, having a party, and I'm just chilling back there by myself :P It's like they're all telling me that they're out of my league. But hey, my recovery must've been pretty nice to come back and beat most of them. Maybe I'm not as good as them, but I was good enough to get something nice. I take what I can get lol
Also, despite all that, STILL 2nd in the US. But I got the national record on D08 I think, so there's that I guess lmao.
