I've seen Kelora's 17.70 run of Cliffhanger and assume this must be the method you're using Ben. To me, this is very difficult indeed to time and execute, especially when you consider you have to pull it off quite a few times in a row on one run. I guess you are just better than me if you think it's not too difficult! I have to admit I'm surprised how much I beat you by on Backtracking cos I don't think it's too difficult to get under 17 seconds. I think my record time is a good one but not by any means unbeatable.
I take it non of the top players have tried too hard on secret challenge rooms when I just set a new record on number 7 by more than a second from Kelora and 5 seconds ahead of you! Of all the other rooms I've beaten your time on, I think Backtracking is the only one with a significant advantage. The others are mainly just a fraction quicker. There are quite a few rooms that you are a second or more ahead of me. Like I said before, I'm far from finished yet mate, but can't see myself ever beating you. I think I can get third in the world eventually and I'll be proud of that. I just have to accept that you are better than me lol
By the way, how did you become a sergeant on here? and how do you add your "current #2" onto your posts mate?

I had a look at Trials HD. That is one hard game! I watched some of the replays of your best times and was impressed, especially the more difficult courses and I can see that it's way more competitive than BCR!
It's a good game but I don't think I like it enough to put in the time it would take to get all achievements etc. I'm the type of guy who has to unlock everything possible on a game before I can leave it. I wanna keep my profile achievements at 100% Don't get me wrong, I thrive on a challenge but I have to 'really love' a game that's very challenging before I commit myself to it. I prefer Shadow Complex to Trials HD myself but it's not a patch on BCR. That has challenge rooms on too, quite similar but with more items to use. You might like that game mate.

With practice Cliffhanger will get easier. The hardest part is the last swing, it has to be as long as you can. I haven't tried too hard on the Secret rooms. If it went towards my total I would.

I think I'm sergeant because of how many posts I've done. To add a signature I think you go to 'My Account' and can edit it there.

I might take a look at Shadow Complex.

Gonna try and get my Fun House time down next. It's one of those difficult ones but I'm losing a big chunk on it.

I'm from Suffolk.

Not far to go now. =) Have you already passed tj? I forget what his total is.

You could knock a second off Four Floor Fall. That level is fun.

Yeah, I passed tj a while back mate. Think I'm doing something wrong on Four Floor Fall cos i was a bit perplexed how you managed to get under ten seconds when i was struggling to break eleven. I'll work it out once my thumb stops hurting lol. Doesn't help that my thumbsticks have all of the rubber bitten off by my darling kids.

edit: just broke Fun House again with 15.04 lol Thumb is really sore now. Did your thumb used to hurt when you were playing a lot?

Wow! Amazing time! Now beat Kelora. =) I tried for quite a while but couldn't manage Kelora's method.

Yeah, my thumb did hurt sometimes but if you keep playing you don't really notice it after a while.

Its funny that you seem impressed by my Fun House time cos I find it much easier than Roundabout or Cliffhanger. Different strokes for different folks.
Dunno how Kelora managed to get 14.74. With the method I'm using, I think a perfect run would give 14.8 - 14.9. Maybe he discovered a new trick.
