I managed to get quite a few records in a month or so (my notes indicate 25 of 40 records) but it wasn't enough to encourage those players like Jason and Louis to return. When I joined competition in Hover was not really a thing, as few people were playing it. Due to the weird Hover mechanics, competition was low and a small handful of 3-4 retired players had all the records. They knew you had to tap A rhythmically, but not too fast. Players also knew that mashing A was counter productive for Hover. Some players could tap quickly but not as quickly as autofire mode on a third-party controller.
A year or two prior the hot topic in the time trial community was whether to allow third-party rapidfire controllers because mashing A was clearly faster for plane and car. I remember picking up the game circa 2001. Hover was always a poorly understood vehicle. Kvess does technically not have the fastest Ancient Lake shortcut 3lap time, but that doesn't matter for the purpose of 52/52, because his nonSC time is faster than the fastest known shortcut time.We call times in balloon races ILs and they are way less competitive than time trial. This is only about time trial, not the balloon races like you remember them from the Adventure Mode.Now some clarifications about the hover 52/52, for those less familiar with the game: And the craziest thing is that a similar achievement to the hover 52/52 could very well happen with car next, with MrPonytale getting record after record! Kvess joined the DKR website back in 2019 and has climbed the rankings all the way to the very top since then, becoming the number one for a short time this year before losing the title to Nordicboa again. This is easily one of the greatest achievements in the history of this game, a game that has become increasingly more optimized in the last couple of years. With a Darkmoon Caverns shortcut 3lap in 1'36''51, Kvess has taken the last missing world record and became the most dominant hover player in history: MIRC IRC client to be used with speedrunsliveĬolloquy Mac IRC client to be used with speedrunsliveĬommunity Speedrunning Websites Message the Moderators! r/SequenceBreak for glitching help and tutorials.
