Title: What is your BEST time?
Post by: BK on March 28, 2020, 05:51:21 pm
The title says it all, what time do you think is your BEST? This could be personal favorite, best with strats used, or just a time you're insanely proud of.

I'll start off by saying that mine is probably InfilPA 1:37, or JungleA 0:50 :)

Very keen to see more people reply!

Jungle Agent 0:49 for sure.

I feel that S2 00 131 is easily my most interesting time.

Aztec SA 139 is really the only other thing on my timespage that's outside of the standard times, and MF strat is OP.

Dam 00 1:57 or Facility 00 0:53, not sure which, both are pretty decent but Dam 00 is underplayed with the new open door strat and Fac 00 53 is easy to pace but pretty bad rng wise.

Hard to say. Most people would say that Streets A 1:11 is my best time. This makes sense, it's a WR and has less ties than my other world record. However, I personally think this time is easier to achieve than Cavs A 1:01 and even any given Cavs SA mine throw completion. The time spent on both these grinds agrees with me. I'm inclined to say that Cavs A 1:01 is my "best" time, but I'm not sure it's my favourite. PAL Dam SA 1:18 and Archives 16 were both very short grinds, but I love both those runs and the feeling it was to get them. Even something goofy like Depot 0:50 missed train shot I'm quite fond of. Hell, Surface 2 A 50 without r-lean is one of my favourite runs.

Best is such a nebulous term. I think I'll go with Caverns Agent 1:01 is my "best" time, because it was my longest grind, the run itself was ridiculous and it also chiselled me in to a better player more than any other time. Consensus probably says Streets A 1:11 is better though. My favourite run is probably Cavs SA 1:21 though, despite it being much slower pace than it really should have been, it was my first huge grind and first decent time.

Chicago 0:14 hands down. Sure i still have an untied, but considering the fact that i was a new player (only about 4 months into the game at this point) it was cool to get such an under tied record.

Cradle SA 33. :kappa:

For real though, my best RUN is probably S1 00 1:47, despite it missing a self boost. My best TIME is most likely S1 SA 1:46, but Dam SA 1:16 is honestly not too far behind.

Considering I only failed 1:00 twice and 1:01 only a few more times than that, Frigate SA 1:01, hands down.

for PD, probably Investigation Agent 1:08
This was before the zoom strat, so it was a double laser skip with no zaps, was at 3rd place and 95 points, tied with Boss.

GE, I haven't really gotten anything good, so probably Frigate SA 1:05 (fastest pace ever completing is some ridiculous luck).

For GE Normal probably Aztec 126 Henrik glass in 2015, otherwise Streets DLTK 3:52

For PD Normal either Crash 140 or Deep Sea 305.

Could also easily just say Attack Ship DLTK.

Streets Secret Agent 1:54

If you start going down the list of still-standing WRs set in the early-Twitch era, 2012-2014ish, and look at which ones have only 2-3 ties that whole time, it's a pretty elite list.  You get stuff like Train SA 1:23, Silo 00A 1:21, Bunker 2 00A 0:54, Statue Agent 2:18... Dam 00A 1:55 predates this era slightly.  It's a high quality tier of records, and Streets Secret Agent 1:54 is among them.

In an only slightly-alternate universe, Streets SA 1:54 is not only still untied, and is the longest standing untied, but is closing in as the longest-standing untied of all time.  In practice, this probably would never have happened; since if not for Ogran, perhaps someone else would have been the one to go for it.  But the fact no one else has gotten 1:54 is a testament to just how insane this time really is.  I know I've done a disservice to my own records by always pridefully boosting them up.  But this is the one that deserves it.  That's the thing.  All those aforementioned records are beatable.  So is Streets SA 1:54, but I think it's less beatable than Silo 00A 1:21, B2 00A 0:54 and the likes.  And it's proven to be as hard or harder to tie than Statue Agent 2:18 and Train SA 1:23.

I'd have a harder time replicating Streets SA 1:54 than I would Silo 00A 1:21.  And there's a good chance I'd beat 1:21 while trying.  1:54 was a run of destiny, nothing more, nothing less.

1:53 may happen some day.  When the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. When the seas go dry and mountains blow in the wind like leaves.  But until then, 1:54 will remain as the best record I've personally ever set.  Might it someday break into the Top 10 Longest Standing records ever?  I suppose time will tell.

Investigation Agent 1:02 (when I get it)

As of now, I don't really know. I guess invest sa 158, or AFO sa 119, or archives 16 with a backboost and 1.2

1. Dam 00 Agent 1:55 Old Strat

2. Silo Agent 0:59

3. Silo Secret Agent 1:07

4. Train Agent 0:57 (Not THAT difficult when you're in the train zone and with a dupe 1-2 hours later. 0:56 was very available to me and then i took a big break from the game again.)

Despite how insignificant it is, the time I'm the most proud of across both games has to be my Depot 24 on PAL. Long and painful grind for something that was so obviously possible, and looking back, I'm certain I would have had 24 almost immediately had I played on NTSC. It's the closest thing I'll probably ever have to an untied, because it's such a terrible and worthless time to go for.

In PD I want to say it's between AB PA 2:11, Rescue PA 2:52, and Defense SA 1:24.

Didn't you splice and get banned from the rankings for posting that?

Nope I don’t even have it recorded. Hence I don’t claim it on the rankings.

You just claimed it on the forums with no vid, ain't much of a difference.

Probably Dam A 0:53 (1.2). My longest grind. Or Dam SA 1:18 (boostless run). I also like Aztec A 1:28. My decade or so old Train times are still worth surprisingly much point-wise, especially compared to my other once 90+ pointers which all have aged rather poorly (for example: Silo) but I was never very proud or content with them anyway.

PD: I like P2 PA 2:10 the most probably even though Escape is better on paper. MBR is solid as well (for the strat used). However, I would struggle more to improve P2 PA than Escape, but Escape is also strangely underplayed despite being an extremely straight-forward and fun level.
