List Official Featured Ghosts

PART 3 - NEW FEATURES:

Anonyymi (3):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/1014-star-wars/r/anonyymi - Everyone who made a review for this agreed that it should be a feature. It was about time to have a feature on this track. Quoting myself: "Amazing ghost. I feel like it's finally a good enough ghost to be featured here.". Quoting Sidewalk: "Yes. I think there were two spots where the perfect flow would’ve been slightly different, and also it could’ve been more lucky at the end but that’s irrelevant to skill. Those two spots were negligible (and I think there may have been at least one compromise for style). Overall, there was plenty of classic anonyymi flow wonderfully executed and definitely feature-worthy. Most of the ghost was essentially perfect." - 28th feature for Anonyymi.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/429117-avant-garden/r/anonyymi - This was originally a suggested for Cerasium, but during this period of reviewing, Anonyymi beat it and we thought it's good enough for a feature. - 29th feature for Anonyymi.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/915431-strap-in/r/anonyymi - This was another weird case here. The suggestion was originally by Cerasium, but then Sidewalk beat it (around the time I added it in the list of suggestions). I voted for a feature for Sidewalk's ghost and then Anonyymi beat it, so it was a feature for me. We usually don't review our own ghosts so since we reviewed it in different times, Anonyymi and Sidewalk hadn't reviewed it initally. But eventually we got additional reviews for this like this one from Cork: "Anon always brings me to tears, gorgeous ghost. Fumbled the last climb but the first 50 seconds make up for it imo". We decided to feature his ghost. Good stuff from Anonyymi. - 30th feature for Anonyymi.

PS: He just lost 1 feature for Cerasium, though. So now he has 29 features.

Cerasium (13):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/904617-bobifers-bicycle-ride/r/cestoiolemsater - Quoting Sidewalk: "Yes. Elite flow was often present in the ghost. Enjoyable to watch." - 94th feature for Cerasium.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/718474-microeconomics-by-vapaa/r/cestoiolemsater - Pretty good ghost, got some good quotes from the team:
"Very cool routing and decent execution, no major mistakes." - Anonyymi
"Yes. Excellent routing and skill. Great ghost." - Sidewalk
"Legendary routing and near perfect execution. Totally a feature for me."
95th feature for Cerasium.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/920555-frwc6-group-stage-match-1/r/cestoiolemsater - Another great ghost that got made good impressions on the team:
"Yes. Good competition, fairly long track with enough technical parts, probably unbeatable and looks very clean cool and fast. Feat for sure I think." - Anonyymi
"Yes, you impressed me here, on top of having that level of competition. Fire ghost." - Sidewalk
"I love this ghost. A little missed opportunity to a last time save in the end, but other than that he optimized this track to the fullest. Competition was crazy, so I'll vote for a feature." - Totoca12
96th feature for Cerasium.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/924153-the-wet-light-lc-semifinals/r/cerasium - Quoting Sidewalk: "Yes. Absolutely. No question. Clear feature, impressed me once again.". Quoting myself: "That's a no brainer. So clean, impressive stuff. Feature." - 97th feature for Cerasium.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/925079-frwc6-3rd-place-match/r/cerasium - Quoting Anonyymi: "Yes. Gave it a go and couldn't quite beat him. I think it's good enough for an endurance ghost.". Quoting Sidewalk: "Yes, clear feature. Slight hiccups but I don’t really care because they were slight and the track is relatively long and challenging. Legendary. Impressive endurance." - 98th feature for Cerasium.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/925959-duality-frwc6-finals/r/cerasium - Another one that also got some great comments from the whole team:
"I love it! We will never know if Radium could've beat him, but this definitely deserves a feat." - Anonyymi
"Yes, brilliant skill, routing, and endurance. Very very good." - Sidewalk
"He nailed it. Feature!" - Totoca12
99th feature for Cerasium.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/507142-maze/r/cerasium - Pretty solid one as well. Here are some comments:
"Yes. Yeah I think it's definitely challenging enough and he did well." - Anonyymi
"Yes from me. Enough risks taken. Good control, fun to watch." - Sidewalk
"This was pretty solid and the track can be kinda challenging. I'll vote for a feature." - Totoca12
100th feature for Cerasium. TIED WITH HIS OWN RECORD!
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/788312-choatic/r/cerasium - Quoting Sidewalk: "Yes. Great style, flow, and recovery." - 101st feature for Cerasium. NEW RECORD SET FOR THE MOST FEATURES HELD AT THE SAME TIME! CONGRATS CERASIUM!
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/204900-pbs-o-c-4/r/cerasium - All of the other ghosts on this series seem to be featured, so since this is a pretty decent ghost with cool competition, we see no reason to not feature it. -102nd feature for Cerasium.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/675207-mucho-higante-rc8r1/r/cerasium - Quoting Sidewalk: "I’ll give it a yes. Cool braking technique on the walls. Pretty good length." - 103rd feature for Cerasium.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/355642-pathway-3/r/cerasium - Quoting Sidewalk: "Yup. Classic skill." - 104th feature for Cerasium.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/462701-ataraxy/r/cerasium - We agreed to feature this one in the Other category, since the helicopter glitch was used. Cool ghost. - PS: It was already featured, we just changed its category.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/584030-yopidartok/r/cerasium - We thought it was a sick one, so we are featuring it. - 105th feature for Cerasium.

PS: Also Cerasium just stole this one from Anonyymi: https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/678574-shambles-fixed/r/cerasium - 106th feature for Cerasium.

Cerulean (3):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/921809-scribbles-torture-desc/r/cerulean - Quoting Sidewalk: "Yes. Great speed and skill." - 16th feature for Cerulean.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/928157-insanity-6/r/cerulean - This one was great and warranted some great comments from the team:
"Yes. Cerulean says it's kinda slow, but idc it's deathless, a feat for sure. Love the control he has." - Anonyymi
"Yes. So good that it’s got me raising an eyebrow about legitimacy lol" - Sidewalk
"Epic ghost! These slow paced flawless tube ghosts make me believe this stuff more, haha. Easy feature." - Totoca12
17th feature for Cerulean.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/454829-finale-desc/r/cerulean - The original suggestion was about Cork's ghost, that we weren't fully sure about. We agreed that this one was probably good enough for a feature. - 18th feature for Cerulean.

Cork (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/4556-crystal-caves-uce/r/cork - Quoting myself: "This is actually the fastest time ever considering both versions of this track on FRHD. I feel like we got close to have featured ghosts on this track for so long, so I guess that this could be it.". Quoting Sidewalk: "Yes from me again. Borderline challenge for me, but I don't think the track could be done that much better. Great job." - 2nd feature for Cork.

RadiumRC (4):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/51784-cruisin/r/shamatoz/radiumrc - This was one we weren't quite sure about it for a bit. It's smooth jumps and a bit short, but we eventually agreed on a feature here. Quoting Sidewalk: "Oh yeah. I’m good with a dual feature here. Superb work from both ghosters. Incredible to get .2 under 17, .53 below 3rd on a campaign track.". Quoting myself: "Honestly, both ghosts are epic! They have over half of a second lead over the third place, which absolutely insane considering this is a campaign track is over 3.4 million plays. It's kind of smooth jumps based, but it's over 15 seconds and really hard to beat, so I think I'll vote for a feature." - 83rd feature for RadiumRC.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/921000-faule-frwc6/r/radiumrc - Great one. Quoting Sidewalk: "Absolutely filthy. Yes from me.". - 84th feature for RadiumRC
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/922979-elemenopee-frwc-6-ntbf/r/radiumrc - This one got a few good reactions from the team:
"Yes. Cerasium did a great job keeping up with Radium's ghost, even getting quite a bit ahead before his death. Radium died once as well, but I think the endurance is too crazy on this one not to feat it." - Anonyymi
"Absolutely. Insanely good. The death is not enough to make it unworthy." - Sidewalk
"Small mistake, but the ghost is pretty solid. I'll vote for a feature." - Totoca12
85th feature for RadiumRC.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/923665-dubious-frwc6/r/radiumrc - Another one with some great comments in the reviews:
"Yes. Love it." - Anonyymi
"Yep. Perfection, art, flow, style. 100% feature for me." - Sidewalk
"This ghost is insane, easy feature." - Totoca12

Rippedmagnet (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/929287-affection-numbs-the-pain/r/rippedmagnet - Quoting Sidewalk: "Obviously.". Quoting myself: "This is sick. What an epic cut! I think the only question for me is if this is good enough for an exception. I'll say yes here, since it's very cool [...]". - 3rd feature for Rippedmagnet.

ShamatoZ (3):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/51784-cruisin/r/shamatoz/radiumrc - Feature, as mentioned in RadiumRC's review. - 26th feature for ShamatoZ.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/919593-flatanger-frwc-qualifiers/r/shamatoz - Quoting myself: "Insane route, insane cut. Pretty solid BMX ghost with great competition. Easy feature for me". Quoting Sidewalk: "100% feature. Amazing bmx work." - 27th feature for Shamatoz.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/928168-mtb-heaven/r/shamatoz - This one was nuts! It got some great reactions from the team:
"Yes. Insane." - Anonyymi
"100% feature. Insanity." - Sidewalk
"One of the best ghosts of the year, pretty clear feature." - Totoca12
28th feature for ShamatoZ, which marks ShamatoZ's all-time high in terms of number of features.

Silent-Rider (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/930734-cherry-blossom-100/r/silent-rider - This is a bit weird since we don't really review suggestions from unverified ghosters. But we were inclined to consider featuring Xenom's ghost and during that time Silent-Rider beat it. So we think it should be added to the Unverified Features section.

Symantec (3):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/774645-savitar-fixed/r/symantec -We got an yes from everyone in the team, but for now we'll add this to the Unverified Features section. I'll talk more about it at the end of the post.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/787191-blueberries/r/symantec - Same as above.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/927503-rain-kids/r/symantec - This one took a lot of discussion and we ended up having 5 players reviewing this. Here's some reviews:
"It's so difficult not to say yes to this. This ghost is sick very entertaining to watch from start to finish. Too bad that one mistake made him lose quite a bit of time. Still, inclined very much towards a yes." - Anonyymi
"Yes — there's certainly room for improvement; however, considering the length of the track, as well as the shortcuts used in the ghost, it wouldn't be a bad idea to feature it. It would make a good feature. It'd fit well on the board and give others a chance to steal it as well if they can. It's a nice track for a feat." - Calculus
"If legit, yes. Fun to watch, and duration makes up for the death. Great skill, style/tricks, technique, and endurance throughout the ghost." - Sidewalk

However, this will also be marked as an Unverified Feature for now.

Uniior (1):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/922604-heli-championship/r/uniior - Quoting myself: "Pretty solid ghost that beat a decent suggestion from TPlacella. I could see this as a feature, honestly.". We agreed on a feature. - 9th feature for Uniior

Xenom (3):
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/930058-blocky/r/xenom - Quoting myself: "Sick ghost. Kind of borderline because of the length, but I'll vote for a feature." - 6th feature for Xenom.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/930650-hold-left-cave/r/xenom - Quoting myself: "I like it. Technically this is an auto cut, so it could work, I think I'll vote for a feature. The ghost flows well.". I feel like for a fast ghost, it probably wouldn't work because of the length, but as an auto cut it fits the criteria and since it's a dope ghost we are featuring it. - 7th feature for Xenom.
https://www.freeriderhd.com/t/925440-3d-downhill-2/r/xenom - I think this ghost might have been a part of one of the longest discussions about featuring a ghost on this game, lol. We ended up having 5 reviews for this ghost and also some extra comments about it, but we couldn't really agree on the final decision. The main thing is that this ghost was reviewed earlier than some others in this update and it received 2 yeses right away. We decided to let some others into the update to help us with the reviews, but it made things weird for this specific ghost, since we then started to not really being on the same page about it. After many interesting discussions we had 3 out the 5 reviewers feeling strong about featuring this and the other 2 eventually said that they were fine with it being feature. So we decided to feature it. We had some similar suggestions to compare to, which made things harder, but we eventually thought this stood out the most, out of some other trickghost suggestions. After many attempts update after update, Xenom finally gets his featured trickghost! Great stuff, man! - 8th feature for Xenom, which is his new personal best. Congrats!

Some comments about the ghost:

"Yes! I think this is it. After many nos for his trickghosts, I think this is the one. He took many risks and had a great flow throughout the track. It reminds me of my trickghost feature, but it's a bit longer and a bit cleaner. Feature for me." - Totoca12
"Yeah there are a couple exciting risky parts, but I agree with the flow part, that definitely makes the ghost. Very nice flow from start to finish." - Anonyymi

Additional Comments:

About Silent-Rider:

Well, he'll get his 8th unverified feature, so just a reminder: if you beat one of his unverifed features you'll get a feature, unless something exceptional happens, like a broken ghost or a massive cut is discovered and we have to reevaluate things.

About Symantec:

He got 3 new features, but for now they'll be added to the Unverified Features section. His ban on the thread is already over, so he can submit to try to be elegible for being in the list again. All he needs to do is send some solid video proof of him ghosting those tracks where he got the features in a way that becomes clear that he can pull those off. Also, the video should show simultaneously his screen and his hands/keyboard. So we are waiting on that.

About Cerasium:

He just established 4 new ghosting records:

Most Featured Ghosts Held: 106
Most Featured Fast Ghosts Held: 100
First to reach 90 featured fast ghosts
First to reach 100 featured fast ghosts

CONGRATS MAN!

PS: Not updating anything today. But I'll do it whenever I have the time. Maybe tomorrow. As for the new suggestions, they will be reviewed in the next update. I hope it doesn't take too long, but I think that at least the January 2023 Ghosting Awards and the 2022 Yearly Ghosting Awards should probably come out sooner.

 

A FEW CORRECTIONS AND ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

1 - About Cerasium: I forgot that Cerasium's feature on Ataraxy was already counted. It just changed from the Vehicle Ghost category for the Other category, so his all-time record of features is of 106 features and not 107, as I had mentioned before. His record for the Featured Fast Ghosts category remains the same (100 featured fast ghosts).
2 - About ShamatoZ: With 28 features reached, we have a new all-time best for ShamatoZ in the amount of features achieved. Congrats!
3 - About Xenom: Xenom also reached his all-time best mark for featured ghosts reached (8 features), but I forgot to mention that he also became the 6th player to hold a feature in all 4 main categories at the same time. That's very impressive, congrats!

 

The team agreed with the feature. We'll add it to the list.
