World Records Analyzed #1

By C.R.Orecord holder·
Hi guys,

today I'd like to present a new series: World records analyzed.

Basically, I take a World Record you guys want me to analyze (Leave a comment!) and I will do my best to explain the history of the map througout its first WR to the actual one.

1st map: kz_kzfr_duke

Released: 2006
Challenge: Average/Hard
Mapped by: Frei
Current World Record: Aguslash ( 08:08.87 )

Hope you like it!

Nice job, afu! It was pleasant to read this series. I'd like you to analyze map named [b]kz_cfl_yamakasi[/b]. I wish you luck with your future work.

Well this was absolutely poor. A complete lack of any concrete or comparative analysis, only some shallow, quick notes about the map, seems like the author wanted to share his find about this map, creating a whole new series of posts. The last sentence just says it all. If you are taking a responsibility to bring us an interesting read, having the word "analysis" in the title, please do much, much more. Compare the previous holder's runs, styles, the techniques on the decisive jumps. Lots of things to note from emotional tension to a minor gimmicky skips and turns, show-off moves, etc, etc. As you can see, in order to make it a decent, enjoyable article, it takes a lot more than that.

You sir lack diplomacy. On the one hand, you have a fine point here, as everything you pointed out is correct. But like the very first phrase says, it's a new series, meaning it probably needs some adjustments to be enjoyable and pleasant to read. I highly doubt you would produce a truly epic and amazing article right away if you were an admin here, so please don't be a hypocrite.

Legitimate doubt, was expecting it. Though I don't need to reply anything to you, woof, you know that you said nothing at all. You know every corner your absurd answer hid. The fact that I'm more than capable of writing a proper article, the fact that it is actually a poor excuse that you've mentioned, that "right away" bullshite: you are mature and you obviously thought of the possibility of this, on the opposite, being written not in a couple of hours, it only worsens the situation for the article if it actually was written in such short terms, which leads us to the excuse you mentioned. You know that hypocrisy in my reply was a consequence of analytical rigor which could probably be a cause for your twaddle to appear under my comment, would it be better if I added some brackets ))) and a couple of sorry-s, or completely shortened my answer keeping only "good job" part - like it would seem I'm just bad at english or generally stupid to right a decent reply? How long did it take you to find the word diplomacy in your mind in order to fill this, emptyness of your remark. Or was it the first idea that you caught and it became another reason of me wasting my time writing this, obvious for both you and me, lines? I support afu on this, I can only hope he is a person to do this ungrateful labour, good luck to him.

I absolutely like the idea and appreciate the effort but maybe indeed it should be a little more in-depth. Of all the crappy ideas brought in the last years (monthly challenges, rotw classics etc..), this one is something I can finally rejoice seeing. my choice is kzm_cityblocks

This is such fun to read. Keep it man! Personally I think oldschool climb maps will fit this job, such as mineblock(ez) climbersxp, tomb, etc.

good idea and initiative afu! keep them coming. Also, as some pointed out, add more "Statistics" and analysis. Good job nonetheless.

good idea! it still lacks the history of shortcuts/skips/combos/route. Even tho you'll need to have a moviemaker that does short clips of every shortcut done by every jumper (if they differ, ofc), so we can see who and how somebody destroyed a certain map (spr1n on wigbl0ck, fof_32 etc). I nominate kz_cg_venice which had the most epic battle of two bhop greats: shnz & napz

Good job afu, I know you will do better analysis on the next series, but this is an enjoyable one. A good choice for the next map would be [b]kz_wsp_arpino[/b] imo.

I'd say it was okay? Obviously more could've been done to make it interesting. Throttle pointed out whatever was missing in this article so I don't need to add more. The emotions involved while recording, the experience of it as a whole, the frustration, etc obviously play a big role in making it more relatable to every member here. Nevertheless, you took an effort and started this, which is obviously better than nothing. So an excellent job for the idea. For the next article, I'd like to see some more interesting maps whose records are held by relatively big names of this community. LEWLY, shNz, koukouz, zhady, etc. Oldschoolers as well as the new schoolers alternating in the releases would make it interesting. For the map, I'd like to see kz_facility which is held by LEWLY, and has also [code][/code]seen some pretty big names in the past.

This is a great thing you have picked up, so to make it a success, you have to work even harder. My suggestions would be: - maps like gigblock b01, facility, wigblock, cityblock, forestrace, lighthops, wildwesthop, torres, utopia, 4tunnels, fineblock, factory, dahnajourney, raincliff, bagdad, burrow, bhopblock, 2001, cambodia, adventure, alpin, bridge, canuon, cellblock, dimblock, mountainchurch, cg extreme, venice, xtremedesert, collage v2, creek, cruiser, jekyll, deathvalley, beneath, exodus, halicarnassus, icevalley, jumprun, kosovo, haunted, rabbithoghway, dementia, femtobhop, mineblock, the fucking luonto, nolve, phoogi, synergy x, toscana, arpino, valleyclimb, 3 ways extreme, monthard, greencave, prospeed 1, probhop 1, firehouse, weaponsfactory, bean valley, boxedout, suncliff, , ... and a lot of other stuff that i can't recapitulate now. (all of these maps i mentioned here have long history of battles, or sc related, or the present demo is just epic, or the maps are just too much swag) - The point is, either it has to be sc-destroyed map, or a battle map, or a hardass map. People anywhere loves drama. You gotta give it to them in a specific-non-individual attacking way), you get a hit. - Dont just talk about sc's, cut the sc's from the demos make a short clip, or just do the sc's yourself, attach them to a link in your post, the people should remember or just feel the thing when they're reading the post. This makes it a great read to know about which player did what sc, and in what way. - Talk about the individual recorder's style, their maneuver, how they excel from the predecessor's demo. Or if you feel the previous demo was better than the recent demo, you can even talk about it. - You're here to talk about the demo, so obviously it can't be complete without the cheat demos associated with it. That proves the desirableness of the map among the community. Talk about the various cheaters that tried to grab it, if possible give a demo. Great television entertainment, again. The point is, to make it you unique style of writing. It shouldn't be just another boring newspost comment like: "oh wow gj dude gg wp." Only pay heed to constructive criticisms, not the negative ones. I wish you luck in this new project.
