Ok, so I heard some of you are going for caverns 1:02.
I got a idea for how it could be improved, although it might
be like impossible to do.

And what I was thinking bout is throwing timed mines at the walls, then shoot em as you pass by to get some nice boosts... I dont know since I aint l33t but, would that ruin
the run rather than making it faster?
Just a suggestion, haven't seen anyone trying that in
any 1:03 vids :P

Well, if you shoot them while running by I think it's gonna be a backboost. My suggestion is just wait till you have the perfect run with 3/4 boosts. :rolleyes

I'm pretty sure a lot of the top players have tried different ways for mine boosting for years, so I think by now we can pretty much conclude it's never going to happen.

Basically it's possible in theory, so like a TAS could make good use of it. But at full speed it's way too hard. You'd have like a 1% chance of gaining .1 seconds and a 99% chance of losing .1-.5 seconds. Not a good way to go.

cant you throw one up on the spiral, and wait for it to explode?
i never saw that idea coming up

You'd have to turn a little to the side to throw it, so you would lose like .1 (or .15), let's suppose. With a perfect boost (which won't happen since you're on the spiral), you'd get 0.25. Since the boost is not perfect, you are probably getting like 0.05 advantage from a @#%$ nice throw. Or maybe I'm just retarded.

Also don't forget how much lag each mine explosion generates, losing time.

i don't want to sound like a know-it-all , but i have tested basically every obvious method on Caverns Agent. i still stick with Full Screen, Auto Aim, 1.1 CC

Narigutita · « **Reply #10 on:** July 14, 2007, 01:40:00 am »

ok, i guess my method isnt good
anybody else besides homeonice is close to 102?
