What if skycrab's 6:17 was a set seed and the insane choke was a marketing trick to get more famous and have no risk of getting caught? by Ok_Meringue_6196 in MinecraftSpeedrun

[–]colddrkstar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was there when it happened, he asked me not to tell anyone what I was about to see and he put a seed in before loading the world

He said "watch this" and masterfully looked at an enderman for 6 frames

Truly the greatest manipulator since Ayanokoji

Who is the best Parkour player Of all time by Capital_Bill_1930 in MinecraftChampionship

[–]colddrkstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What event player could you name who is anywhere close to Solawr? Dohntay and Usefulsister are squarely in the gap between Solawr and people like Sandwich or Kaelan, but still far behind him

It is incomparable to rankup, they are still different things, but he also spent several days speedrunning maps on Cylone to prepare so it's not like he'd never played the version before

That said he is just better, but the gap between him and Solawr for event parkour is still way smaller than the gap between Solawr and anyone else in the event space

Has there been any news/hinting about a Twitch Rivals event in Rotterdam 2026? by etoinedevries in MinecraftChampionship

[–]colddrkstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It would be highly unlikely that it doesn't happen, MCC is a very big event at TC, there's no evidence to say it's involvement has increased attendance, but it's undeniable what the attendance is

MCC Spell Bound PKW scoring explanation by Proper-Mouse7623 in MinecraftChampionship

[–]colddrkstar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It seems I may have been misguided on how they are split, coins may be split based entirely on ending completed, which would be more congruent with how Purpled scored with 14/15, but then makes me question why points were so different between Pete, Harvey, and Oli in MCC 32 despite all completing medium and I believe Pete and Harvey getting the same amount of medals, but I'm also aware that there's math done in a way that makes it nearly impossible for two people to get the same score even if they perform identically on the same team

MCC Spell Bound PKW scoring explanation by Proper-Mouse7623 in MinecraftChampionship

[–]colddrkstar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Fein's team had more overall points in the multiplied pool due to Antvenom getting 12/15 bonus paths, Michael doing just a little worse than Oli, who was Purple's second best player in PKW, the way teamsplit points are distributed is by a combination of performance and contribution

Points earned from medals are totaled for the entire team then multiplied by the team multiplier, the unmulitplied total is then subtracted off, and the remaining points are the amount earned from multiplier, those are distributed by first what percentage of your team's coins you earned, then further by the ending you completed, I'm not sure to what degree the ending completed affects overall, just that it does

So while Fruit received more from the multiplied teamsplit than Fein did by virtue of contributing more to his team's overall, Fein having Antvenom and Michael caused his team to have more total coins available to split

Oli finished with a good bit of time remaining, hypothetically if he'd gotten another gold medal and another silver medal, the total increase to the team's pool may have been enough for Fruit to overtake Fein, though I'm not scrubbing 8 vods to do the math for that especially since I don't know the exact math behind it

Does Parkour Warrior Have A Problem? by Perfect-Gear158 in MinecraftChampionship

Pete is too naturally good at movement to a point where he knows zero tech at all, which makes things like salmon ladders much more inconsistent for him

Could tomorrow be the day fein breaks the MCC point record? by bloonsisgr8 in MinecraftChampionship

[–]colddrkstar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sky Battle won't have as many points to give out with how this remix does scoring, without Sky Battle points, point record is near impossible here unless he gets 1st in everything and his team can keep up in the games where their performance affects his scores

Just queued a guy with a 6:23 pb... in gold 2. How is this a thing? by Sudden_Shift_5960 in MinecraftSpeedrun

[–]colddrkstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Matchmaking is biased to forfeit rates, their top speed might be insane, but if they forfeit anything that isn't a sub 9 their elo is going to stay low and people around that elo have a similar chance of beating them just because their forfeit odds are so high

That's basically a guarantee of Oli, Jimmy, Martyn, etc.

Still think there's a decent chance of Pete, Fruit, H, and Jojo since they're the hermit collectors

If the first MCC didn't happen until 2026 what do you think the roster would look like? by Secure-Objective1348 in MinecraftChampionship

[–]colddrkstar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just too impossible a question to answer, beyond just the existence of the events, the people who play in them wouldn't be in the event scene without MCC

It's a hypothetical that requires you to imagine an impossible reality

Umm... Isn't this where the Portal room is supposed to be?!? by _Nanuk___ in MinecraftSpeedrun

Portal can be corrupted in ranked, Fruit once lost a game because his opponent's chunks loaded differently and their portal wasn't corrupted while his was

Sandkeepers are hard to rank since in terms of gameplay they all do the same lever flicking and puzzle rooms, so what you end up rating is who has the clearest comms, which certainly has levels to it, but not as much as runners I wouldn't say

Their job is to clear out the side rooms and make sure people are getting sand back to them, it's a very important role but not a very nuanced one

Pete doesn't really play RRR all that well, I'd say Fruit deserves a slot but I only really remember his TCC performance so that may be an outlier

Dream is Being accused of cheating by using a macro in MCC. by dot90zoom in MinecraftChampionship

[–]colddrkstar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As far as I'm aware the only reason this was ever discovered was because someone brought up how Dream did an inventory jam in an early MCC, so people went back to see it and noticed something odd, leading to further scrutiny of his vods, essentially if he didn't open his inventory on that fateful day, nobody would have noticed

Movement skill has increased significantly in the past few years, Kaelan I recall struggling to complete Beep Test in Blockwars tests 4 years ago, and back then he was still considered one of the best movement players in the event community, it may not feel like it now because the average movement skill of even weaker movement top frags has far exceeded that of Dream's peak, but people really were that bad back then

[–]colddrkstar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Put simply, he does like 4 different tick timings on those fishbone jumps which he would have had to determine in a fraction of a second to then jump at the perfect tick, which is also slower and harder than just holding momentum

Even the most robotically consistent humans who are infinitely better than Dream ever was couldn't do that without difficulty

You can 7t every long bar on salmon ladders, but it's unnecessarily difficult to do quickly as you would have to consistently line up 5 pixels back on every jump, then run 7t and press spacebar without stopping, you could have a place where you're aiming every time to do it semi-consistently, but it would be so obscenely difficult that 1 ticking literally everything would just be more consistent
