    All records by riolu, Techno & Trabadia have been removed due to cheating. As of July 18th 2021, the world record was 23.81 by Drarker.
    The current world record on A01 is 23.80 by Lackadal: ruclips.net/video/GVHOMmM1OiI/видео.html

      Fitting for a racing game that feels like this, that this sounds very similar to a quote by Ayrton Senna.
      _"On a given day, a given circumstance, you think you have a limit. And you then go for this limit and you touch this limit, and you think, 'Okay, this is the limit'. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high."_

    If anything this is pulled from Summoning Salt - but even then, Salt has explained that he loves others making WR history videos and encourages content creators to do so.

      Ok man. History of A2 special for you. SPOILER ALERT!!!
      YoRHa Type A (Attacker) No.2 or A2 serves as the protagonist of Branch C in NieR:Automata, as well as the final boss in Branch D. She is also a major character in the YoRHa Stage Play.
      She is a prototype of the YoRHa android line, and combat data from her and her comrades was used to create the superior current lines, including 2B and 9S. She doesn't like to speak and often keeps to herself.[1]
      Three years prior to the events of NieR:Automata, she was a member of the first YoRHa squadron deployed to Earth as part of the Pearl Harbor Descent during the early years of the 14th Machine War. Her alias at the time was No2 which is parsed in Automata as "Number Two".[2] She was portrayed by Ruka Endo in the stage play.
      A2 is first encountered by 2B and 9S killing Immanuel. Pod 153 warns the pair that A2 is a wanted android and is recommended for annihilation. 9S questions the directive while 2B initiates battle against the mysterious A2. Following A2's defeat, 9S asks her why she betrayed them. A2 mentions that Command was the one who betrayed them and escapes. 2B and 9S attempt to give chase but realize she's already gone.
      After the defeat of Adam and Eve, when a corrupted 2B is being accosted by androids of YoRHa, A2 appears and disposes of her assailants. Realizing there's no hope for survival, 2B relegates her sword and memories to A2. A2 stabs 2B with her sword while 9S watches her take the sword out of 2B's bloodied corpse. 9S has a mental breakdown and angrily proclaims that he will kill the rogue android. A2 cuts her hair with 2B's sword in a style reminiscent of the deceased android. As he runs towards her, he falls off a bridge while gigantic pillars rise from the ground, forming The Tower. A2 is caught within the pillars' movements and is knocked unconscious.
      A2 wakes up on a piece of debris with Pod 042 greeting her a good morning. A2 wonders about the Pod following her and is told that 2B's final order insisted that Pod 042 should assist A2. A2 scoffs at the notion of needing help and tells the Pod to shut up. After requesting her motives several times, A2 finally relents and tells the Pod that her goal is to destroy machines. He then directs her to the Desert.
      A2 arrives at the desert and encounters a Goliath-class Machine named Hegel. She defeats the machine and hacks into its mainframe, ultimately annihilating its core. A mirage of 2B appears to her and tells her that she and A2 are the same, with A2 angrily rejecting the notion by throwing her sword at where 2B appeared. After falling unconscious and reawaking, Pod informs A2 that her filter is full of sand and must be replaced. After heading to the Resistance Camp, A2 meets Pascal, who is under attack by several hostile machines. After dispatching them, A2 spares the machine, despite her grudge, and continues to the camp.
      After reuniting with Anemone, A2 finds out she needs Pascal's help in order to get a filter. Hesitantly, A2 receives help from Pascal, and in turn, helps him and his villagers with requests. After obtaining a book on philosophy from Anemone, Pascal's village turns on itself with some of the machines becoming cannibalistic. A2 returns to the village, only to find it in flames and the villagers feeding on eachother. She tells Pod 042 that they need to locate Pascal immediately. After dispatching the zombie machines, she and Pascal take the child machines to the abandoned Factory to hide from the machines.
      This proves to be a mistake, however, as a force of machines descend upon the factory. A2 and an enraged Pascal take up arms against the machines, and eventually overcome the enemy force when Pascal takes control of an Engels and kills them all. When the two return to the factory, they find all the children commited suicide out of fear of dying. Pascal, feeling guilt for having taught them the concept of fear, mentally breaks down and asks that A2 fulfill his final request: erase his memories, and therefore who he is, or kill him. After making her choice, A2 leaves the factory and makes her way to the Tower.
      A2 enters the God Box, and finds 9S who is about to be attacked by a corrupted Operator 21O. She kills 21O by impaling her several times, saving 9S. A2 then tells him that 2B wanted her to tell him that he should continue to be a good person. A mentally unstable 9S becomes enraged at the mention of 2B and attacks her. However, he falls down through the crumbling floor and Auguste appears before A2. Following the machine's defeat, its brothers surround it with pleas of "Big Brother", kowtowing and begging A2 to spare them. She chooses to either hesitantly execute them all or spare them via by walking back towards the elevator she came from.
      Having arrived at the base of the Tower, A2 encounters a wounded Devola and Popola, who explain that they've already opened the tower for 9S. As they make their way up the tower, A2 and Pod 042 enter a familiar Library, with Pod 042 explaining to A2 what libraries are. Within the library's depths, A2 encounters a book titled "Operational Summary of Model Number Two in Project YoRHa", and opens it, expressing surprise at its contents. Shortly after reading through the book, A2 is attacked by Ko-Shi that's infiltrated the library. After fighting the machine on an ascending elevator while 9S combats Ro-Shi above, the two knock their respective enemies into an arena. 9S attempts to confront A2, but the two are forced to work together to combat Ko-Shi & Ro-Shi, the two previous machines merged. After destroying the machine, A2 and 9S finally confront one another.
      A2 mentions that the tower they are in is actually a cannon aimed at the human server on the moon. If they don't do anything, all of the remaining human data will be destroyed. A mentally unstable 9S tells A2 that humanity is extinct and that the human server was a lie perpetuated by YoRHa to keep the androids in line. If an android did find out, they were deigned to be killed. He states that the commander, him and 2B were all sacrificial lambs. A2 reveals to 9S that 2B was actually a special android unit called 2E that was designed to specifically execute YoRHa units, and that 2B hated killing 9S over and over again. Enraged by A2's words, 9S tells Pod 153 to stop talking until either he or A2 is dead.

    You missed one little trick:
    Because of the speeddrift the uphill-transition causes some extra airtime.
    You can see @ 13:40 how the player tries to avoid this by holding right at the uphill. Thats the main reason why the time was pushed down to .86

    • @TatharNuar
      @TatharNuar 4 года назад +6

      Good catch! TM has an air control mechanic in its physics, and you can control how far you jump before landing depending on your accelerator/brake usage mid-air. If you're going to overshoot your landing, hitting the brakes will help. Most well-designed tracks don't need it because they try to account for jump distance, but it's very clearly an intended effect of the game physics.

    • @TatharNuar
      @TatharNuar 4 года назад +4

      Ideally if you need to use air control at the end of a track, you want to aim your distance so that you fly through the finish in mid-air rather than landing first, because the brakes do reduce your speed. I'm not seeing any WR runs that do that, but a lot of them were pointing towards the sides of the finish, which have less vertical clearance and can ruin a run if you miss. You can see a run from Kripke nearly do that when the landing causes the rear end to pop up and hit the roof.

      @@TatharNuar pretty sure this is false. The air control mechanic involves pressing the brake in midair, which stops the car from rotating along the pitch axis, allowing it to land with all of wheels on the ground rather than the front 2. It isn't adjusting airtime; that is done by controlling your launch beforehand.
      If it is true, it is only useful at the very end if you've overshot the finish, otherwise you're scrubbing speed and can't hope for any records besides personal best

    I realize one thing I like so much about speed running. It's like science in the microcosm. The idea of the balance between revolutionary advancement and slow step by step optimization is shown in the jumps in record times. You'll see slow inching forward of a few tenth's of a second for a while, then a huge jump all at once of a second or two when a new technique is discovered.

      he also says he regrets cheating in A01. he also said if there was a public TASing tool, he would rather become a TASer.
      he now creates TASes for tmnf tracks.

    I was never a hardcore player of TM but I discovered the s4d by myself while playing online. I'd use the inside of my finger that was holding accelerate, the effort it took to press the brakes while holding go at the same time was usually enough to avoid major speed loss while triggering the drift.
    I never managed to use it as successfully as these WR hunters though, that's a level of skill beyond me for sure!
