"its pretty obvious that quite a few wont ever become bad or easy"
obvious? we thought it was obvious that statue wouldn't ever go below 2:25 back then. just give me any reason why any record right now makes it totally impossible to become like that?
"All I am saying is that what times you do get are more important than how many you get."
err.. you are pr'ing more than going strictly for maxed times. don't you realise that you're saying there that what I did is more important than what you are doing? besides, about everyone gets 60/60 times, but they all differ per person. wown'd
you can't deny you've been lucky getting into this so late. if GE would now be only just out, you'd have to actually find all the current strats on your own (takes years..), can't watch (m)any videos to see how things are done, and, a few years down the road, you'd be utter shit if you don't keep playing forever on end. you get older and you can't keep playing as much and thus can't defend your position. newer players, younger, watching all the current srats from videos etc, having plenty of free time, getting good, and will pwn you. no matter the time. it will keep happening over and over. sure, there's some max, but don't get the illusion we're near that just because the current pointview is the wrs are good. but if you just think about it - that pointview is the same every year, pretty much. we still see things we can improve on, and even where we don't see it, improvements happen anyway.
yes, you've gotten the records by playing the game by yourselves, of course you deserve credit for that, BUT ALSO: without any outside help (the elite, us, and thus, Bryan too), you'd be nowhere near where you are now.
