Woah nice times Edo. You're almost as fast as K. Do you have a video? And great job confirming your m so fast EIHoppe!
Unfortunately not. But I've been hitting about 8:10 quite frequently lately, so I may have a nice video for you some time this month or the next. Also, I'm pretty sure jago has done faster than 7:45, just not with a S9 or higher.
Just guessing, but it could be a TAS or otherwise cheated record. I had a statesaved green line in my TAP records for a while as well - I was playing a potential green line run that was cut short by a fatal misdrop; so I decided to save state before the misdrop and redo the run from that point to prove to myself it was a potential green line. When you do stuff like that you obviously don't post it on the forum, but if you forget to backup NVRAM beforehand you end up with a high score in the table that might be hard or impossible to beat in normal play.
Actually, that's a bug. I should have been 1st in both "grandmaster ranking" and "today's ranking", but there's some pretty weird behaviour with M ranks, something to do with green lines... maybe colour_thief or jago can explain. EDIT: here's colour_thief getting the same bug in his M rank video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOUKPpEkjs8#t=8m48s it shows up as only 3rd on "today's ranking" and not at all in the "grandmaster ranking".
I noticed the odd rankings immediately as well. It's a well-known TAP m bug. I remember asking Kitaru about the irrugularities in his rankings when he obtained his first m. You can read more on the bottom of this page and the next one. Congrats with the Orange Line SoliDeoGloriaAA. I still have to get an OL in TAP Master. ; EDIT: @EIHoppe: I watched the game a few moments ago. Again very good invisible play. You clearly practiced it before. Wouldn't surprise me if you get Gm in the near future. And the already nice time could have been even faster if you didn't struggle with a bad stack a few times near the end. Missed this earlier. I forgot that it's jago's fastest M. Thanks for pointing that out and take your time with the video.
Woo Hoo!!! My new personal best!!! Not a lot better than my current posted score, but hey, its an improvement!
Keep at it, you'll get S9 soon enough probably! Also, nice time, Edo! Sub 8 minutes is pretty ridiculous; now you just need a Gm to match! Also also, Ai rendered my current record, it's uploaded to Youtube. Also also also, for the record, I still hadn't started training the M-roll yet for this second M, so for all intents and purposes the M-roll in this video is pretty much my second actually serious attempt at invisible play.
I doubt he would post if it wasn't a new record so I updated the leaderboard. I have his previous entry saved in case I'm wrong.
isn't that obvious that it's just a green line... like in a stupid commercial i'll put an asterisk next time *scientifical studies lead to the conclusion that it might not be green but it is (or not?). ** Amnesia is a piece of cake
