Hi,

You could try comparing your times to those in these list (warnings: not 100% up to date, only includes 60fps footages, and the lists are minimized by default, you have to unfold them)

The Xbox 360 controller D-pad actually sucks (compared to those of good gamepads).
I think most people play with the analog stick due to habit, but that actually isn't fit to this game, which only supports digital. Analog for SMB (and most "digital-only" games) is relatively slow and isn't perfectly precise.

Steam gives percentages but I don't the count is available (probably sensitive info, because it gives away an estimation of the sales).

I don't think there the Xbox Live / PSN gives any information of that nature at all.

Takuji is streaming from time to time.
See twitch.tv/takujiz/b/331029305
He's currently working on a dark world speedrun (100% I think).

You could try to monitor Speedrunslive IRC channel too. Sometimes they race Super Meat Boy.
See http://speedrunslive.com/ and http://speedrunslive.com/gamelist/#!/meatboy/1

Congrats, you most probably have the best Meat Boy time on that level for the Steam version (Exo is n°2 as you screen capture shows, and I'm probably n°3, with 6.65s).
Nice to see you reclaiming more times, keep it up !

Jintek VS Exo ...
This is going to be fun
Keep going !

Also, apoligies for repeating it once more, but if you are getting close to frame-perfect world records, it may be worth recording it (FRAPSing the actual game footage I mean), to keep it in Super Meat Boy history :)

I suggested that path to Exo some time ago (and was lazy to do it myself, especially considering that if I did it he was going to beat me to it anyway) and he did it, but you are first on the leaderboards, probably by a few cenths or smaller amount of time
Anyway, nice time, I had tried to do it myself and it wasn't exactly easy.

We went on IRC to start/record the race, a few of us were streaming.
Fun race overall

Livestreams list (recap) :
http://www.justin.tv/meatrunner (myself)
http://www.livestream.com/theplaceofamnesia (Two Hacks) <- haven't set xsplit yet, coming soon
http://www.justin.tv/felidane (Forever)

We should be starting soon :)

I am up for it (trying to catch you on Steam, maybe it's too late ?)

Nice levels, wish you good luck for the others.

This is sad (devs reaction to the security issues). Hopefully there will be a happy ending, but it could have ended with a no database backup scenario and all levels being lost.
But tbh the whole level portal was sad from the very start.

edit : (sorry I edited my post which mentionned Steam cloud, my rant was kind of useless) nah there is no Steam cloud support (at least on PC), check better.

I can confirm what has been said, there are a lot of levels I find simply too boring to spend time speedrunning them. All in all I haven't speedrun that many levels, although what I have speedrun I tried to optimize to my best.
I also have speedrun levels mostly with Meat Boy and rarely using the fastest character.
I nearly don't play the game at all anymore anyway, although I might get back to it from time to time. Besides, 73L and Takuji and even Raginzfranz are too active for me to have much chance of beating their new times (at least, not without much effort, which I'm lazy to provide . Too many games to play, too little time, etc.).

I know this is getting old, but I was talking of ground tiles which aren't horizontal and aren't walls either.

Nice to hear !
I probably will :)
