Nerves come with experience. You dont know how long Wouter played Depot to get that 50, and he probably had a lot of 51's beforehand. I find listening to music or thinking abstract helps me focus. When i got my frigate 26 i was hardly even paying attention. I was basically day dreaming as i played. Maybe thats why i ran into the wall at the beginning lol but i didnt really get excited and run into a doorway afterwards. I really need to work on my nerves though. Ive missed way too many train shots on depot because of it and if you watched my depot 46 SA vid you can tell i was excited because i ran into like every doorway after i made the train shot. Oh well, i have gotten a lot better at it. But overall i agree with eddie, i think wouter and bryan handle nerves a lot better than some others which explains why theyre so good at what they do. Ive gotten better but i have a long way to go yet. .

if you call 3 depot 51s alot.. :p

it took about 15 hours since my first 51, as my usual PRs do.

also my depot 43/50 are 1.2 which I'm still not that great with :p

Silo doesn't make me very nervous, it can just get annoying sometimes. I'd say levels like S2 00/Cradle SA/00 are among the worst since it's right in the start, Aztec 00 definitely was the worst for the end. I can just still play well under pressure. You need to upgrade your nerves management ;)
Any end on Aztec with low health left on great runs is the worst :p

Invest SA ending with a great bot will yield the most nerves.. but yeah for GE the greatest nerves come up with Aztec ending and any level after you get a nade.

Yeah thats why i am nervous about playing any level where a nade is required. I have a feeling Ill mess it up, as usual. Man, if i told you how many great times ive messed up out of nerves, itd be a book. The worst level for me nerve-wise is dam agent. I have had many 37 fails because of nervous lock shots which i obviously missed. The big thing for me is the music that plays. When i have a good run i can tell by the music right away, and i know it, so i get excited/nervous. Thats why sometimes playing with headphones on helps. But other levels, not so much because some levels requir me to listen to the music to time things right. Its almost like i will press a certain button when a part of the music plays, like the GE music is the conductor and i am the person playing the instrument.

Wouter, 3 51's is kinda a lot. I dunno how many other eliters have gotten, but i guess 3 is kinda a lot. I mean getting 1 is hard enough as it is and only a few people have pulled that off even. But still 15 hours isnt that bad at all.

I don't know about you guys, but for me, PD has many more parts where you can get nervous preety easy. Investigation bot, Defection PA hacker, Infiltration PA (when you manage to get into the elevator), WAR SA/PA when you get many doors opened, etc. I think GE has more little details where you can screw a WR run, but nothing compared to a supa-fast Investigation bot or a lot of WAR doors completely opened - such as that @#%$ run that Bryan had and he screwed a 45 or 44 on SA, and it was like one chance in a thousand hours.

just wondering, how does dam agent get to you? all you have to do is run to the gate, which I can't seeing that big of  a deal compared to something like depot 00 and boom you'll magically lose 10 seconds trying to run into an opened train door.

The gate speed is random, If you get a super fast gate, and a boost then u have a shot at 53

S2 00 is bad for nerves. Getting a nade and a good first cam makes me nearly fall apart. I'm sure I would've had the WR, maybe even untied, if it wasn't for this (before Bryan lowered it).

Yeah that open door on WAR SA was quite unexpected for sure... and I didn't handle it too well though I did hit the shot at least. :b

I think my most nerve racking experiences were Maian 208 PA from the last lift with no health and Infil SA from the 1st lift with no health.

My worst nerves were on my 2nd S2 SA 55.  I have no idea how I was able to complete the run to be honest since I pretty much blanked out and couldn't remember throwing the mine or warping the door at all but I still managed to do it, then I almost cried when I saw 55 and not 54 or even 53 =/

Who cares about hits! I would leave your times pages, beause some times, people would rather look at your time page, then check the roster, or the ranks even.

since its actually better than it is, nice job.  You get what I mean.  In other words 219 is super hard

Eh, I was hoping to get the first 2:19 but I don't think I'm gonna hold out for it now. What was gay was this 2:20 was literally a 2:19 with just a terrible return. When I make the vid I can check in slow motion but I'm pretty sure it was about a 2:34.15 return. Yeah. Ugh. Stuck on one block and then that faggot guard that always gets in front of you before the last turn. The run was prolly about a 2:20.7 and I even got a 1:0 boost ratio leaving Trev so normally I return around 2:34.9 or better with that so I should've had it. |I  Oh well...I know this WR won't hold up long but at least in the long run it will prolly end up a decent point difference from 2:21.

Good work on the recent Statue pwnage, but I think the recent surge of 2:20s puts 2:19 into third place on the 'must happen' list, after Caverns 1:02 and Streets 1:55.

I just played GE for the first time in about a week and realized why I can't get 219s.  My best return ever is 2:34.9X :o

Good job Eddie. Lets hope i can be added to that list  of people under "surface 2 :51" soon!

I have a question. when you play bunker secret agent, how exactly do you guys open that first door? I mean, i seem to do it slower than the people in the vids. what i do is hold down on the c button since i use 1.2 , and at the same time hold the control stick to the right so i turn. But this seems slower than in the vids. Do you guys hold c up or up and right strafe and then press b or what?

Yeah for 2:19 you need to be able to get consistent 2:35.xx returns. Like I said a 2:34.9ish prolly would've gotten it for me on my 00A 2:20 :\
