DS2RED | Mediocre Dark Souls Speedrunner Enters Top 10 Germany on TrackMania2 Stadium B08 @2Red | Uploaded November 2019 | Updated October 2024, 1 week ago.
End time: 26.804; Previous PB: 27.205
This is my first time getting the cut and thus of course its a terrible run. Some explanations:
The swerve at the start was supposed to get me more speed by using the downhill. It ended up being the same speed but looking dumber because I got a ton of air time and slowdowns.
Up until the wallbang it was decent driving, but nothing that belongs in a top10 list anywhere. Especially the turn before the second wallride can be done like .05 faster, second wallride can also be done faster.
I do the wallbang because I don't know how to properly get around the corner (is it a neo slide? Idk. But I am definitely too bad to do it with breaking/sliding). It is a decent workaround and from comparing my previous PB to the world record I didn't lose all that much on it (0.1 max). However, in this run I got a bad wallbang, putting me on +0.4 compared to my previous PB.
The cut itself was pretty meh aswell. If you look closely I did not get it the intended way of hitting the horizontal pipe sideways from below and hitting the finish line, but first hit the vertical pipe, which pushed me on the horizontal, which pushed me very slowly into the finish. I even touched the top of the finish, slowing it down further.
As a result the cut that is supposed to save 1.2s gave me a PB of 0.4s, making this run quite possibly the slowest B08 cut run in the history of Trackmania2 Stadium.
Overall I am pretty satisfied with this, gonna push for Top1 Germany next, hopefully with driving skillz that are decent. Wallbang will stay though.
