XJ's Monthly Challenge #3

By Ovidiu Dumitru·
Welcome to the 3rd edition of Xtreme-Jumps' Monthly Challenge!

With the 2nd monthly challenge finished, we can now announce that it was pizza^ who managed to beat kz_ea_canals, the map assigned for the January challenge, with a realtime of 02:59.76, beating the current hotshot LEWLY by almost 5 seconds. I guess you do realize how fast pizza^ is, right?

Taking care of the video we will witness tjabba with his, trust me, AMAZING edit. I almost can't believe how good he is nowadays. It's truly a pleasure to watch his creations.

Now, for the next challenge, due to some issues in coordination, we've experienced a considerable delay which caused us to change the next challenge a little bit. Honestly, the timing was perfect since we had plans to introduce a slightly modified challenge, to give a chance to EVERYONE in the community to take part.

That's right, this challenge will be about you, the "average" jumper in KZ, giving a fair chance to everyone who is not a current WR holder.

So, to simplify everything said above, the current WR holders are not allowed to take part in this challenge. For everyone else, who is a registered member in this community, you can go ahead and start recording for a chance at a prize of 50$, given by our sponsor Coppenst and frontpage spotlight featuring your run edited by one of our filmmakers.
The fastest time will win (WR not needed) and due to this reason, the deadline was shortened to 1 week.

Map to beat: kz_ghat
Deadline: 1st March

Good luck and have fun!

Really liked this one

gj pizza and tjabba

wow what a run!

21/02/2014 18:34:00

where is demo? gg pizza

21/02/2014 18:34:00

"the current WR holders are not allowed to take part in this challenge." "The fastest time will win (WR not needed)" Really ? What's the point of this competition now ? Wasn't it to see some really good unusual wr motivated by the money and the video ? I don't get it, really.

21/02/2014 21:37:00

i agree with g-lp

21/02/2014 18:35:00

Don't forget guys. Anyone who is not a current WR holder can record. This challenge is for everyone!

21/02/2014 18:51:00

except for those with wr(s)?

21/02/2014 18:37:00

pizda^ beast, gj :D

21/02/2014 18:37:00

wow pizza, impressive run.

21/02/2014 18:38:00

Sorry for dp, but you don't think that the rest of the guys in the community can deliver amazing runs? I for one vote for them. It's common sense for everyone involved in this community to take part in our PUBLIC activities. Let's give a fair chance to everyone!

21/02/2014 19:13:00

i like this idea a lot, im just a bit put off by the use of "everyone". maybe you could alternate between this and the regular monthly every month

21/02/2014 18:55:00

And again, how you can be sure that some "pro" will not make/use a doubleaccout (or record a demo for his friend) and send demo?

21/02/2014 19:05:00

We cannot. We will just have to relay on our tools and hope that no one will try that. But based on your idea, we should close the website or remove the record list or everything that involves recording. Unfortunately this isn't a "healthy" way to think.

21/02/2014 21:35:00

add link for pizza's demo

21/02/2014 19:07:00

sick run pizza,even with some slowdowns at the vent :)

21/02/2014 19:16:00

amazing, gj pizza 0_o

21/02/2014 19:56:00

Great idea! Though, it shouldn't take part of the Monthly Challenge (leggie's challenge) ... One thing that will destroy the fun (im giving myself an example just so its easier to understand my point, no intentions): I'm not a WR holder, I have a decent skill, I have a slight chance to win one challenge. I will TRY and TRY to beat the certain maps faster ... in few months(depending on my dedication and time) I may get to the "WR holder" required skill. Instead of submitting WRs, I'm sticking to this challenge, just for the money, instead of the "certain" fame. That may happen, you know? Some guy can do that quite easily

21/02/2014 20:00:00

sorry for double post There are many great dudes on CosyClimbing that can do XJ wrs if they have the patience. What about that? Or lets say Nukk's case: With his skill, he can reach top5 even on XJ ... what if he didn't submit those 2-3 WRs on XJ in 2012 or 2013 (when was it?) ?? He could be a freakin millionaire :)) *jokingabitofcourse* It's hard to prevent something like this since everyone is equal ... but I doubt it will last long. I hope for the best though !! Great challenge, staff :)

22/02/2014 14:50:00

Seems like I didn't quite understand the challenge. I thought that it will be a monthly too ... my bad, sorry :)

21/02/2014 20:25:00

amazing

21/02/2014 20:57:00

It would be perfect if he just delete the scoreboard (it is possible). Rly nice run.

21/02/2014 21:06:00

rofl these rotw desc. are beyond funny. "Taking care of the video we will witness Bulgaria tjabba with his, trust me, AMAZING edit. I almost can't believe how good he is nowadays. It's truly a pleasure to watch his creations." I ALMOST CANT BELIEVE EITHER ERMYGED!!!!

22/02/2014 00:47:00

Troller !

21/02/2014 21:07:00

kz_ghat kinda weird map for this challenge :/

21/02/2014 21:48:00

i hope that "no wr needed" rule is just for this one challenge due to the deadline of 1 week. It will suck otherwise... The monthly challenge was until now the challenge to see a sick WR on a map no matter who records it. Let's be real, one or more Pro players are bound to try and beat the maps, so where do you see the chance for the "common" kz player to beat these maps? It has no sense, and the entertaining thing about this was, no matter who beats the record, it will be a crazy demo and a great movie to watch. And as a watcher of this "show", that's what i want, to see the best time on this map with an insanely great demo, no matter who records it. I don't think this was well thought of... Anyway 6. Current WR holder "IS" not allowed to participate in this challenge (rule sucks)

21/02/2014 23:17:00

If you got something better, here, share that with the rest of class...

21/02/2014 23:24:00

you just replied to what i had to "share"

21/02/2014 22:02:00

here's the demo for people asking: http://www.sendspace.com/file/5bje42 (1/13/2014) not sure why it wasn't added to the newspost or made official cyclops probably just forgot. anyways thanks for the comments, run can be done a tad bit faster with a clean vent part (bhopping entire thing with next to no fails nets a few more seconds) also there's some pretty crazy combos in the last room although i would never risk them in a run. also is coppenst really giving out another $50 for a one-week challenge? :|

21/02/2014 22:32:00

thank you, pizza!

21/02/2014 23:17:00

ty

21/02/2014 22:28:00

pizdahh! :)

21/02/2014 22:45:00

ghat is a really poor choice of a map. The sc ruins the map

21/02/2014 23:07:00

Nice even though the vent part wasnt perfect : ]

21/02/2014 23:36:00

Lol ghat gl

22/02/2014 00:51:00

Meh run.

22/02/2014 04:25:00

amazing run pizza :D great clip tjabba

22/02/2014 04:43:00

The fastest time will win (WR not needed) 4. If the chosen world record isn't beaten in that month, the money rolls over and the next month and will be $100 (until the series is ended) so if our "average" player wins the game but not break the record, he won't get the prize. am i right?

22/02/2014 13:47:00

That first line that you wrote just stated that a WR is not needed to win,,,, so even if they don't break, they win...

22/02/2014 16:23:00

but he won't get the prize

22/02/2014 17:14:00

Winning is winning, if the post states that you don't need a WR to win, and the fastest time from all entrees counts ,,, then they do win and receive the prize money.

22/02/2014 05:12:00

wow fucking fast! congratulations my friend pizza

22/02/2014 10:41:00

gj pizza :)

22/02/2014 10:41:00

Nice run there pizza^ Really liked it :gj: @ finzer Regarding the erroneous description you pointed out, it'd have been better if you contacted him on steam / via pm and get it corrected instead of shouting it loud in the comments section. Just saying ! @ the modified challenge I think it's a good initiative trying to bring in more new players into the recording scene. Though, I think the time frame should have been left unchanged i.e. a complete month. Also, the ex-record holders should also have been excluded too :) The Demo Rules for this modified Monthly Challenge, as pointed out in other comments, should be corrected. Simple copy-paste of the earlier template just makes it sound funny. @ haters The map demo that one might save up for a monthly challenge might never even be included in the monthly challenge in the coming decade. So, saving up and hitting the bull's eye is sheer luck and one cannot do it every single time. Plus, you never know, if someone has been saving up a better demo. In my years of association with XJ, I've seen that no one and no demo is invincible. And regarding impersonations in demo recording, the same procedure applies when it comes to releasing the mainstream WR demo releases. Frankly speaking, that shouldn't be an issue. Moreover, the WR holders I personally know, and I know quite a few of them, are not that juvenile. Remember, If you can't provide a solution to the problems you raise, you yourself are a problem. Cheers !
