Haha yes Xuan, welcome bro!
@matan, ok thanks
Wow past 5 months I have really improved, especially in path finding and tweaks, now I find paths and tweaks almost at will lol! Before even playing DRU, I was 80% sure I knew the path/tweak, and I only needed to play it once to confirm it...
I got an interesting 11.23 after a few dozen tries, Niha's time is pretty sick actually, but I think I found a tweak which I will go try and see what I get...
Oh and:
11- Slippery Steps : [11.80] [11.54] [Dushine]
I guess am satisfied with this, especially after getting 2 11.57s and triple .59s lol.

Hey Pascal/Matan or any other mod, I was thinking maybe we should keep this topic to 1 page only? You know, delete the posts that are no longer in use and the such, it might make it neater and more tidy... I'll keep updating my first post in the thread but I'll also make update posts as necessary.

I decided to take a break from Daedal Helix and got this. Took me 10-12 0.93 catches.
13- Learn the Time Modifier : [0.93] [0.93] [iMacmatician]
And good job Pascal.

Good Job P, and I'm glad someone finally got 0.93 on that Imac, I was just talking about it to Pascal actually.
Pascal, I can catch 2.46 on RUC, I mean I would love to record it, I just don't see the point that much seeming you already recorded it, and that is a major, almost impossible improvement, from the first rampage, but it means you can go as low as 2.44...
I did get 4.21 on Arch Acropolis, but that is neither the targeted goal or the WR, imma go for lower, cheers!

Nuke Field (13.24s) [.rec] WR - Missed 2x 12.9x or 12.8x but damn, the nuke hit at the end is random. I'm using a different Nuke so... and to avoid losing time to align my marble with the nuke, I just ram into it and hope I fly to the finish.
Also, the fact that this level crashes my MBP everytime I load it 2 or 3 times is so annoying.

Also, the fact that this level crashes my MBP everytime I load it 2 or 3 times is so annoying. I wonder what ending nuke you're using. Is it the same one I use? Also, try waiting until the "explosions" of the nuke dissipate before exiting the level. On at least one computer, when I exit nuke levels after a nuke explodes but before the explosions dissipate, I tend to get a crash. Dunno if that's what happens to you though.

Which one are you using? I'm using the one with a gem on it, not the first one on your left (using WRR#1 WR path) but the one next to it. Idk if you know what I mean.

I'm not quite sure which nuke you mean. At the place you enter (and exit) the circular ring, there's a nuke in the middle with a TM on it, and then to its left there are, in order, a nuke with a diamond on it, a nuke with nothing on it, and two nukes, each with a diamond on it. The one in my Marble Blast Levels 13 video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzzs2Rco-f4 (run starts at 3:33). From your description it seems like my gem is (much) further to the right than yours is to the left (which should be beneficial). EDIT: Also, will there be a trailer?

''My'' nuke is the one in the set of 2 nukes with 2 gems on it, the one that is the furthest away from the finish pad. Also, I don't know if there will be a trailer, maybe, maybe not. We'll see, it would be cool.
Right now, I think I'm just too hype. I found the most crazy path in Marble Blast. And the award goes to : Mastering the Marble. So many crazy hard tricks to pull off in one run it's unbelievable. Remember when I said I found an insane path on that level but it wouldn't work due to 1 gem only? Now I made it to work, but it's so insane, I'm telling you. If I can pull a good run on video, first, I'm going to the bathroom to wash my pants, and second, the time's going to be around 55-56 seconds. Compared to the 1:18.23 from the WRR#1, that's a BIG difference.

Can't wait to see the route! If it's more epic than the paths for Space Station and Rolling to Eternity, then I've gotta see it.
And about Nuke Field, so you get the diamond on the nuke immediately to the left of the center nuke first, instead of last? If so then do you hit that nuke and go OOB so when you restart the level it doesn't bother you?
After spending days getting semi-promising times on Daedal Helix but no real success, I decided to "try" this level again for a "little while," and then after 10 minutes or so, got this.
34- Daedal Helix : [50.00] [48.97] [iMacmatician]
I went a bit slowly on the pink part because there was no way I was messing up this run. Just for comparison:
55.79 run (WRRU run): 36.04 final TM catch, 19.75 time until the end. This run had a messed up ending though (although it was either that, a wall-hit on a scenery pole that would have given a similar time, or a lucky edge hit for 1.5 less. 48.97 run (this run): 31.98 final TM catch, 16.99 time until the end. 56.46 run (I got it minutes before my 48.97): 40.47 final TM catch, 15.99 time until the end. This run had a good run on the pink part, there's not really anywhere I could have sped up too much.
Also if you pay attention in the new run, you'll see something which I think is kinda hilarious.

I don't know how it looked like in the Force Havoc Zone in your 48.97 but you must've been really lucky. Also, as long as your pink part is let's say... 1.50-2.00 faster than the 55.79, it's alright.
I've been trying Mastering the Marble for the passed 3 hours... only made it to ice slopes with a gem in the middle of it 3 times... 2 of those tries failed right after that part... 1 try made it all the way to 20th gem then I fell off like a noob. It would have been a 59.0x because I made like 4 seconds mistakes during the 1st half of the run. I know I can do 56.xx but it's going to take a long time.

Nihahhat:
Got these on .rec over the past few days.
Beginner:
15- King of the Marble : [13.30] [13.25] [Nihahhat]
Advanced:
9- Platform Race : [1:09.00] [1:13.90] [Nihahhat] - Not goal time, but still a decent WR. I will retry this level later. 15- NëonTech : [5.70] [5.31] [Nihahhat] - I missed a 5.15, so I'm not satisfied yet. I will aim for 5.0x or maybe a 4.9x next time I play this level

Nice times Nihahhat and Xuan. Keep 'em coming!
As for me... I'm still trying Mastering the Marble and today, I got the most frustrating blooper of all time. After pulling off every trick in the run, I missed the wall-hit for 20th gem at the end. That happened at 49.0x .
Edit :
Mastering the Marble (58.45s) [.rec] WR - The .rec works. That's 1 thing. Another thing is... I finally sub'd the 1:00.00 mark. The last thing is, that run has a stupid mistake before last gem (1.75 secs) and for the part with ice slopes, I went really slow to make sure I wouldn't fall off (3 secs).
I'll try for lower... A 55.0x would be awesome. A 54.00 would be totally unreal.

Lmfao@ the unreal insane stuff I'm seeing! Xuan and Niha, grats on the awesome WRs! OFM shocked me, must be a tweak or new path, didn't think I would be beaten to a pulp, I know a few tweaks but not for 10.92s haha!
*Clap, clap, clap, clap* You sir Pascal, are incredible! Congrats on getting the sub 1 minute on a level we all thought was impossible, I doubt Vattu saw this coming haha!
Btw I played this level a little earlier after 2 years, and I found some shocking tweaks, and I missed a run in the 1:09x, and a couple ones similar ones. Bro, I feel your pain, I went super slow at some points cause I could not believe that time, now you tell me you wasted like 2-3s because you wanted to be sure you got the sub? Heck you could take 10 minutes if you wanted lol. I'm looking forward to this run, cause I want to see the difference between my sub 1:10 tweaks and your path, and see awesomeness, especially how you got that gem *wink*, though I have an idea.
Once again, I applaud you.
Edit: I stand, corrected? Well done again Pascal, and lmao@the faile .rec haha!
Well done mate, seriously, and I hope all the levels remaining WILL be easier, unless we find some insaner path (not happening).

Mastering the Marble (55.23s) [.rec] WR - The .rec file only works when it feels like it. Also, made a silly 1.5-2 secs mistake near the end, but other than that, the run is solid. I'll try for 53.xx (I missed like 2x 53.7x right at the end).
I make that level look easy, but trust me, it's unbelievably hard and inconsistant. For example, the 1st jump only works like 25% of the time. That's what you get for pulling trick after trick after trick non-stop and breaking the path so much. I guess it can only be a good thing since it will make every other levels easy after that.

Insane time, and Pascal? Even more insane, congratulations in an excess amount for every 0.01s you improve that level by!
18- Arch Acropolis : [4.20] [4.18] [Dushine]
And give it up for.....another new path by me!
I found this a day or two ago, but I could not find a tweak that would allow me to get the third last then second last gem without time restarting by like 1 second, then today after a few minutes...I remembered this failed path and found a tweak after...WR is still 4.15 by me, it won't be hard to beat, I might go for sub 4 if time doesn't restart...
Edit:

Great job Pascal, Xuan, and Dushine! I especially can't wait to see the Mastering the Marble run.
Dushine, what's your first TM catch? And check your messages BTW.

I would love to give it a try and Fraps it but...that run is too awesome, I don't want to spoil it, I have a fair idea of the path but still, in my mind it only goes 59x, I want to see the insane speed so yea...not gonna try it. Maybe you can Fraps it in parts? Try running in different compatibility modes, and in OGL and Direct 3D, all the combinations possible...
@imac, my first TM catch is sub 4 if I do the EH, but the problem is (or was) that time restarted with the old path, but i nthat 4.02 run I caught it in that time, and time didn't restart...
Sorry about that Imac, I had even forgotten how to get to my inbox lol!
Its a good idea, I will try it out...
Oh almost forgot...
18- Arch Acropolis : [4.20] [3.86] [Dushine]
Oh yea baby, this level goes sub 4! The path is insane awesome, and I want to push it and see how low I can go without time restarting. Its been like 10 hours since I got that time, I just forgot to post it haha.
