Trackmania Nations Forever Nadeo

Very nice cakey^^.

Maybe I'll make a list of my pb's too when/if I feel like it, just for curiosity.

Time for some more trivial information This time I will analyze the Wayback Machine pages of TMX Nadeos to see at which time I would have been in TOP 10 (or close enough to it to hunt a bit further and enter) with my CURRENT personal bests. This will give me a perspective on where do I stand with my Nadeo skills, or, how hopelessly behind I am from the top guys.

BTW the ones I skipped simply had not enough info/snapshots on Wayback.

A01 - 24.04 - Would have been 10th in December 2008.
A02 - 15.71 - Last TMX was 15.69 in February 2010. Possibly would have had motivation to enter top 10.
A03 - 18.45 - 8.-10. TMX in November 2012.
A04 - 5.82 - 2.-10. TMX in February 2010.
A05 - 16.53 - 8. TMX in August 2008.
A06 - 28.10 - 3.-4. TMX in December 2008.
A07 - 26.65 - I'm so bad on this one that I would have gotten TMX only in the very beginning of TMNF TMX xD. 5th place in April 2008. In the June of same year I would have needed a .60 already.
A08 - 58.40 - 7. TMX in December 2008.
A09 - 25.03 - In December 2008 would have needed 25.02 to be in.
A10 - 8.87 - Still one of the top guns, yay xD
A11 - 18.79 - Good enough to be 10. TMX in December 2008.
A12 - 18.78 - Was truly in TMX back in 2012
A13 - 29.50 - Last TMX was 29.31 in February 2010, so would have been likely to try to get in.
A14 - 20.39 - 8.-10. TMX in February 2010.
A15 - 24.59 - 6. TMX in February 2010.

B01 - 25.57 - 8. TMX in December 2008.
B02 - 25.68 - Last TMX was 25.67 in December 2008.
B03 - 26.05 - Last TMX was 25.98 in December 2008. Would have tried for it.
B04 - 12.58 - 12.57 was enough to be in 4.-10. place in February 2010. Why not.
B05 - 25.41 - 6.-8. TMX in August 2008.
B08 - 1:32.01 - 2nd TMX in April 2008.
B10 - 35.36 - 35.40 was WR in 22nd April 2008.

C01 - 27.26 - 4th TMX in April 2008. Yes, very very behind here.
C05 - 1:48.34 - Last TMX was 1:48.01 in April 2009. Very doable.
C07 - 37.86 - Last TMX was 37.81 in April 2009. Doable as well.
C08 - 25.51 - WR was 25.55 in April 2008.
C10 - 11.95 Still in! Maybe forever?
C12 - 31.41 - 2nd TMX in April 2008.
C14 - 1:49.08 - 2nd TMX in April 2008.

D01 - 2:21.22 3rd TMX in June 2008.
D04 - 46.45 - Last TMX was 46.40 in April 2009. Very much in.
D07 - 52.53 - Last TMX was 51.86 in April 2009. Not too demotivating.
D10 - 51.43 no cut - 5th TMX in April 2008.
D11 - 10.65 - WR it was
D13 - 1:08.95 - 2nd TMX in April 2008.

E01 - 44.75 - 5th TMX in April 2008.
E02 - 4:24.20 - 2nd TMX in April 2008.
E04 - 1:54.37 - WR was 1:54.57 in April 2008.

In conclusion, my skills belong somewhere in 2008-2009 xD

Even though I don't go for new records anymore, it's still interesting to make a list of my pb's on the tmnf nadeo tracks. So here it is:

A01 - 24.04 (22-02-2009) - Got this 3 times normal way and once with speeddrift.
A02 - 15.72 (12-03-2011)
A03 - 18.47 (14-12-2013) - What a nightmare this was to get, but then again I mentioned this earlier in this topic^^.
A04 - 05.83 (26-07-2008) - By far my oldest pb, over 7 years old ... O_O.
A05 - 16.36 (11-03-2011) - Pretty nice time.

A12 - 18.80 (04-12-2011) - If only I could've gotten this 3 years earlier ....
A13 - 30.31 (13-12-2011) - I hate this cut.

C11 - 46.80 (30-06-2011) - Never tried this track much.

D01 - 2:20.83 (11-05-2014) - Decent enough for me.

E02 - 4:12.67 (26-12-2011)
E03 - 5:11.71 (16-10-2009) - Bleh, dirt ...

E05 - 55:53.01 (29-11-2015) - Two respawns ...^^

Got an improvement on a track I never thought I'd play again:

E05: 56:48.39 ---> 55:53.01 Even though 55 was an aim of mine, this run had so much potential. I actually had to respawn twice because of stupid mistakes on my part. If not for those, I would've gotten a low 55 easily.

Got another improvement yesterday:

D15: 7:26.80 ---> 7:21.23 I figured I'd try this track again, and it turns out I really like the track now. Also I'm pretty good at it I think, so a 7:1x.xx is definately possible for me.

Very nice improvement Nick That beats my PB by more than 1 second ^^

On my side i improved on E05 after many years of non hunting on it.
I went from 56:53.90 to 55:33.93 (first run ever without respawns but slow and safe in general) and after to 55:19.44 (this time with 1 respawn in lap 53).
Also i did my PB in official and is ranked 11th atm.Is worth a misery (25 k sp) but whatever.

pro dia and pro niock

Dat kukki^^

Two new improvements:

C05: 1:46.36 ---> 1:46.21 I only tried this a little bit and I can definately get better.
D15: 7:21.23 ---> 7:19.22 I had a run before this that was an easy 7:18.xx or even 7:17.xx if I hadn't screwed up in last 2 laps.

lil nicky TMX coming then

D15: 7:19.22 ---> 7:19.01 Another run with lot of potential, but unfortunately also full of bugs especially in second half. TMX is very close now, so I'll keep trying for it.

Edit: 2 february 2016:

D15: 7:19.01 ---> 7:18.32 Finally I got the top 10 tmx on this track. I had a great first 5/6 laps, then after I started getting nervous (mainly because I so often screwed up great runs at that point of the run) and did some mediocre laps. But whatever, I finally got it^^. Also it's 3rd official .

Edit 2: 6 february 2016:

D15: 7:18.32 ---> 7:18.04 A little improvement, but at least it got me to 8th place on tmx. My only bad periods this run were in the 7th and 8th laps, but aside from that the run was pretty clean aside from some bugs and slowdowns here and there.

Very nice time Nick Keep going and you will get what you deserve ^^
I was on voice with him while he played D15 so really glad to take part of such a time live

Niock being too proro

Haven't posted since the 1980's so I'll give a few updates on PB's done in the last couple of months, that I feel are worth a mention :3

A07: 26.65 > 26.55 - Finally went under that sucky .6x.. but only .4x will actually feel satisfying.
B13: 25.00 > 24.99 - Was having a short session online and voila, happened just like that.
B14: 31.48 > 31.31 - Surely one of my biggest one-jump improvements. All I needed was to get that 3rd landing right, but still dunno how to be consistent at that.
C03: 12.17 > 12.15 - Destiny says I must do even better.
D05: 1:05.10 > 1:04.82 - Mentioning because the run looked meh and I was drunk..
D10: 51.1 > 50.97 - Nocut. Yes, on the same drunk evening.

Also a TMX on old I-4 and a dedi on D14 which got pushed out by a cheater pretty quick xD

pro nubi

Well done Cakey,pretty nice improvements in general i see

Hehe, nice improvements Cakey

I got two improvements so far in the first week of training for the new NTC^^:

A07: 26.44 ---> 26.34 This was really unexpected to say the least. I jumped straight from .44 to .34. I did lose some time at the end because I was afraid to mess up as I could see it was a very good run.

B11: 29.96 ---> 29.94 This was one of my oldest pb's. It's really crazy that this is my first improvement here in almost 8 years ...

Wow, It's been over a year since my last post!

Anyway, I improved quite a few of my pb's at end of last year during a solo mode league:

A08: 58.29 ---> 58.26 Not that big of an improvement, but whatever. ^^
B09: 13.09 ---> 13.07 After more than 7 years, I still had the feeling for this track. ^^
B11: 29.94 ---> 29.89 This was surprising really, considering I rarely ever even get a 29.
C01: 27.03 ---> 26.99 Got the minimum target time.
C07: 37.59 ---> 37.48 Pretty nice.
C13: 40.86 ---> 40.70 Very nice.
D07: 51.98 ---> 51.79 Sloppy run really, but still an improvement I guess. ^^
D11: 11.30 ---> 9.90 Wow . After I figured out how to keep my car from turning too much in jump, this became so much easier.
E03: 5:11.71 ---> 5:09.44 Felt like a crappy run still.
E04: 1:40.78 ---> 1:39.34 Ok improvement I guess.

Other improvements I did in recent years:

B14: 31.38 ---> 31.29 Decent for me I guess, since I really don't like the track.
C15: 47.58 ---> 47.42 I did this on cup server I remember in 2016.
D08: 48.70 ---> 48.65 Whatever. ^^

Once again, almost a year since my last post. I've hardly touched Trackmania for the better part of a year until like two weeks ago. I thought I'd just play online a bit, but I actually decided to try some A08 after watching Rollin's video of his attempts there. I was going for the cut, but if I got a really good run, then I'd try to finish it normal way.

I jumped from 58.26 to 58.15 first. A bit later I cut off another .10 with a 58.05. Both normal way with no other times in between. Then finally today I got a 57.06 with the cut . It's actually the first time that I got a decent bounce up, so I guess I can count myself very lucky with that . That time is both 9th tmx and 9th official so that's pretty nice to say the least .

I also tried a little bit of B09. I actually managed to tie my .07 pb there^^. The other times I got were .10 and higher, but it shows that I still haven't lost the feeling^^.

Edit:

28th april 2019: A08 57.06 ---> 57.05 Somehow managed to improve it by a measly .01 XD. I had a higher jump this time, but since I had a slow finish on my .06 and the overall run before the jump was better this time it was barely enough.

Edit:

30th april 2019: A08 57.05 ---> 56.60 Now I had a good run with a good end jump . Only thing I can really complain about is a very wide last turn that I did for some reason. But 5th tmx and 6th official .

Also I forgot to mention that I got a 58.00 normal way as well . 57.9x is definately doable.

Can't wait for next update by Niock, it's making me feel alive

Heya Kukki^^

Here's my next update then. Despite not being active much last year I did play in solo a bit and got a few new pb's:

A01: 24.04 ---> 24.01 I did .04 quite a few times before both with and without S4D, but was never able to beat it until now. Getting a good S4D is insanely hard with kb, but I did get a decent one here. I also got another .01 and three .02's, but none of those S4D's were as good as the one on my first .01.

B07: 28.75 ---> 28.53 My first time with the grass slide.^^ I got a high jump near the end that cost me quite a bit of time, but still nice to get it anyway.

B09: 13.07 ---> 13.05 This was a fluke I will say, I got it on 2nd try I think. It still proves that I got the feeling for this track.^^ It was nice to secure my top 10 spot a bit more, since I was on 10th with my .07.

B10: 35.20 ---> 35.06 Didn't take long. Even though my end wasn't the best, it was nice to finally beat this 9 year old pb. XD

C06: 51.99 ---> 51.86 Not bad

Pro Niock

Good to see you still keeping track of your improvements ^^
