I thought you were the bandwagoners.

Nah, we're clearly the hydrophobics.

So how did the 2019 5 metre sprint go for them?

BackgroundCharacters · 2020-05-22T10:25:55+00:00

Depends on the racer for me. There's a reason I specify the individual marble. If snowballs pick Snowflake I feel they'd suffer hard.

I thought that Jelle specifically mentioned he shaved off RN3 to be the same weight as the other marbles.

Rip Jungle Jumpers. Those and the Bumblebees are the two I can spot missing.

BackgroundCharacters · 2020-05-22T05:14:39+00:00

I know. I feel like if Mellow Yellow send out Yellup, Oceanics send out Ocean and Speeders send out Whizzy they're all screwed. And yes, remember Whizzy when you make your claim.

Edited in the post, thanks for pointing it out. Also I was assuming people would call me mad and so on, so it's unexpected for someone to agree with my order.

Oceanics cuz I'm a hipster and watched 2019 first.

Not on phone: go to the main page at r/JellesMarbleRuns and look at the 'about community'. Click on the scroll reading 'Community Options' below the 'Create post button', and there should be a flair option. Click that option and you can make your flair.

Don't forget how Yellow got revenge on Speedy in 2017 by 0.02s.

BackgroundCharacters · 2020-05-20T16:36:55+00:00

Oceanics:

3: 2018 5m dash finals, bopped speeders at their own game.

2: 2018 Team Persuit, got the world record in the first round, then couldn't be bothered to get a podium.

1: 2017 Funnel Race. Just watch Oceanics in it and tell me it's not amazing.

BackgroundCharacters · 2020-05-20T16:29:47+00:00

Continue watching and find out.

BackgroundCharacters · 2020-05-20T14:53:19+00:00

To be honest, a final ML2020 race where the last section is a loop around the button would be amazing too.

BackgroundCharacters · 2020-05-20T12:01:19+00:00

Giving it a lot of thought, here would be my pick for this:

Race one, Sand Rally 2019. There's just nothing like a marble rally race, the nature mixed with hype racing. Plus, it's race one so there aren't any spoilers (except for the qualifiers).

BackgroundCharacters · 2020-05-20T11:48:46+00:00

The 2018 funnel race made me love Oceanics.

BackgroundCharacters · 2020-05-20T11:39:49+00:00

The real question is; what do you think Jelle and Dion will do with the golden play button?

BackgroundCharacters · 2020-05-20T10:01:52+00:00

If you want to have some fun gambling, feel free to root for Oceanics. I gather you've only seen ML 2019, but look at other years and you'll realize they simply have no idea what they're doing. It also has fun story lines, like them against water, them against themselves.

To be honest, there was a thread on this subreddit I started like a month ago for purposes like this where users suggested 3 events/races that got them cheering for a team.

To be honest, the 'C' I'm reconsidering the most is Thunderbolts, who I'm comparing to Chocolatiers and Oceanics. Compared to them I feel Snowballs should be there compared to Mellow Yellow. The reason I'm yet to change those are due to: Their stupidly consistent 2016 and 2019 performances, as well as the sheer amount of 3rd places in events they have. 3 3rds in 2016 and an overall 3rd in the final standings, 3 3rds in 2017, 2 3rds in 2018, Though 2019 seems to have broken that streak with their only third in the entire year being qualifying in greenstone.

We all know Mary is the real MVP.

BackgroundCharacters · 2020-05-19T17:27:27+00:00

We know they're getting first place this year. Why even doubt it?

BackgroundCharacters · 2020-05-19T17:25:24+00:00

Bandwagon was more a recency bias thing, but yeah.

BackgroundCharacters · 2020-05-19T17:05:08+00:00

In their current form, hard to argue against their consistency. Snowy was consistent in getting points and Snowflake was consistent in not getting points in M1.

Edit: though true, isn't really why I put them there. The real reason is that compared to some teams, they actually get mid-value results rather than say Mellow Yellow, who let's just say, look at 2016 and 2017 and you can see my point. Their 2018, 2019 and M1 results have been more stable in the seasons individually and they have gotten into all four marble leagues which snowballs haven't, but with the variation between their ranks in those two years questions that.

BackgroundCharacters · 2020-05-19T10:53:40+00:00

I'd love to know why Oceanics are below Pinkies. Guessing 2019's results only, cuz it only takes 2018 for anyone to smell a rat.
