i thought it was pretty sick too but it looks too good to be true but idk my guess is as good as yours
That ghost's pretty insane, wow. Maybe I'll try replicating it for a bit to see how difficult it really would be idk
Hmmm... There are a few times where it seems like they change their mind on what they're gonna do at the last second (usually right before landing), which could be a potential sign of TAS (such as checkpointing back ~15 frames to set yourself up better). An experienced player will typically pause the game with the direction they're landing in mind, and look ahead to prepare themselves for the landing much sooner than is done with the last-second changes of the ghost. It is possible, of course, that where they thought they were heading was a little incorrect, and so they corrected themselves later in the fall, since it can be a little difficult to predict at times. Overall I wouldn't say anything that is too much of a red flag to be definite TAS, but I think an (obvious alt) account that's only completed 41 tracks doing that makes it quite a bit more suspicious.
I'm really bad with BMX, so I would probably struggle with it more; But as far as how replicable it would be, nothing about it seems too tricky to replicate with regular spacebarring and while learning from some failed attempts. Nothing there requires consistent frame-perfect inputs or anything.
Cerasium how long does it take you to get a featured ghost like how much time do you usually spend on a track and do you have any tips for ghosting. I've been grinding some lately and it takes forever to get a good ghost like 1-2 hrs on a track to get top 5 if theres decent competition.
usually 1-2 hours for easy ones, never for extremely good ones, and the rest are somewhere in the middle. easy ones basically don't exist anymore and the moderate ones aren't common outside of my own feats for tips, you should keep practicing, do a variety of types of tracks, create rivalries with other players, and watch other people's ghosts
The easiest way to get featured ghosts these days is suggesting new ghosts which might be worthy. As Cerasium said, there are almost no easy ones left, I came close to beating 4 before they got improved to a time I couldn’t match. My first and only featured ghost was from a suggestion, so although OFG updates are rare these days, don’t be afraid to suggests some of your best ghosts, it will help foster activity in this thread and you might get tips later down the track when your ghosts are reviewed by ghosting moderators.
Wow im just realizing ghosting is for unemployed people who dont touch grass, no offense. At a certain point its not about who has the most skill but who has the most time. Idk if im cut out for this.
glad to see other people are spending super long to beat featured ghosts haha. I always felt like I wasn't cut from the same cloth as some of the other people based off of how long I spend beating tracks, but ig I probably might be. speaking of that, spent a few hours to get this suggestion: http://frhd.co/t/878281-pure-pain/r/cerulean
try to beat cork or egway's fast ghosts, its the best chance youll have since all the others either have a ton of fasts or they have a lot of the other types of ghosts like trickghost or auto cuts
