what kind of world cup levels do you want?

Post by ribot »

as there are so many world cup topics...

hello this is my furst bosdue!

this could be a poll, but it would be hard to include all kinds of levels that should and should not be in the cup. i dont know if px and abula cares about what the public thinks, but they might.

personally, i think all levels should vary. that way the best kuski will win, instead of the kuski who can endure 20 weeks of same kind of höyling.

WORLD CUP 5 QUESTIONS
1. Do you want _one_ höyling level, under 20 seconds?
2. Do you want _one_ long level, over three minutes?
3. Do you want _one_ pipe level? (very hard to finish, count apples)
4. Do you want _one_ headbanger kind of level? (fast, many styles)
5. Do you want _one_ speedloops level? (lot of speed, few styles)
6. Do you want _one_ long jump level?
7. Do you want _one_ high jump level?
8. Do you want _one_ freestyle level? (coolest trick wins, not best time)
9. Do you want _one_ internal level? (just think of it, how much the WR time could be improved..would be so cool)
10. Do you want _one_ gravity level? (with lots of gravity, makes it harder to play)
11. Do you want a bowling level? (gotta make strike)
12. Do you want a apple harvest level (many many apples, many many styles)
13. Do you want a IQ level? (hard to finish, gotta think out style)

edit: I got new questions. best to add them here, than everybody can edit their posts with new answers. that way it's easier to see.

14. is it important to have high graphics? (grass, pictures)
15. should px be allowed to have own levels? how many max? (had three in wcup4)
X.anyone can of course add questions, just continue after the number

8. YES, would be great to get this started at final, i mean px or someone could deside teh 5 best replays and the winner is decided by a public vote, and you have to have like 100 post on lauta or something to be able to vote, or something like that.

1. Do you want _one_ höyling level, under 20 seconds?
Well, if it is a good level, sure, why not. Though this shouldn't be a very long event.

2. Do you want _one_ long level, over three minutes?
Yeah that can be max :) This one should last quite a while (plus, then we get teh r0xx0rz winning .rec ;) )

3. Do you want _one_ pipe level? (very hard to finish, count apples)
Yes. Although.. Either it can be very hard to finish and last a while, or it can be a normal hard/medium pipe and be a 1-2 day event. I'd vouch for the last option.

4. Do you want _one_ headbanger kind of level? (fast, many styles)
Headbanger rox :)

5. Do you want _one_ speedloops level? (lot of speed, few styles)
I see to be best at those, so, yes :D

6. Do you want _one_ long jump level?
This could be interesting. It should be made so it will differ a bit between kuskis.

7. Do you want _one_ high jump level?
Same as the previous.

8. Do you want _one_ freestyle level? (coolest trick wins, not best time)
Well, sure, it could be fun, but it would be very hard to judge and the judgement would be very subjective.

9. Do you want _one_ internal level? (just think of it, how much the WR time could be improved..would be so cool)
Not really, no :)

10. Do you want _one_ gravity level? (with lots of gravity, makes it harder to play)
Gravity can be a great feature if used correctly. A level that just has gravity for gimmicks might be harder to make good.

11. Do you want a bowling level? (gotta make strike)
Emm.. No. Too frustrating to not make it after having done some very hard styles before it, for example.

12. Do you want a apple harvest level (many many apples, many many styles)
Yeah, this can be great. Also it is really valuable with teams in such a level.

13. Do you want a IQ level? (hard to finish, gotta think out style)
I don't really want it, but I guess it could be fun to see the outcome.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14. is it important to have high graphics? (grass, pictures)
Could be. But the most important thing is that the level itself is good. A good look on the level of course helps very much though, and can make the playing (or, the first stages of the hoyling) more enjoyable.

15. should px be allowed to have own levels? how many max? (had three in wcup4)
Of course. And what's a wcup without px levels anyway? ;)
Was it cast for the mass who burn and toil?
Or for the vultures who thirst for blood and oil?

just realised a flaw with the internal level idea... if you're gonna use the actual internal level then anyone can cheat and just send in a moporec, or at least their personal best rec that they might have spent year hoyling

but, if you're going to turn it into an external (via QWQUUxxx.lev or some other means) then maybe the best time would not be allowed to become an official wr, since it wasn't driven in the real internal. so the purpose of having it is rather defeated

the idea about internals is that it could improve internal wr a lot. i would very much like to see such a competition, but if i run one wouldnt mean anyone would play it.

and this is still a world cup, and since internals are called world records, they are related, arent they? i mean being an internalist maybe should be somewhat advantageous in world cup, right?

and also, maybe not much ppl have really höyled one level as much as a world cup level? as it seems, it's hard to win wcup event than to beat a wr. maybe im wrong?

no one could send in mopo styles, because they can check it. players can however can copy those styles, and get better times. probably the times would be better in the top 50 anyway.

also, there could be new revolutionizing styles..

otherwise it could be a cup of its own..but who would care to play it? who doesnt want to see super new 10 internal wrs on same level in one week?

WORLD CUP 5 QUESTIONS

1. Do you want _one_ höyling level, under 20 seconds?
Yes, why not. Actually no matter for me.

2. Do you want _one_ long level, over three minutes?
Yes, definately.

3. Do you want _one_ pipe level? (very hard to finish, count apples)
Not that I like them but it's a tradition.

4. Do you want _one_ headbanger kind of level? (fast, many styles)
Yes, my favourite levels. Many styles? Hm, at least one route.

5. Do you want _one_ speedloops level? (lot of speed, few styles)
Absolutely no.

6. Do you want _one_ long jump level?
Don't think one can make a good level for this.

7. Do you want _one_ high jump level?
No. Same as above.

8. Do you want _one_ freestyle level? (coolest trick wins, not best time)
Yes and no. I like the contest type very much but how to judge the replays? px doesn't have the best view ;P. Like bounces not allowed etc.

9. Do you want _one_ internal level? (just think of it, how much the WR time could be improved..would be so cool)
NO! Too much advantage for some people. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't improve the internal level's world record. Only the internal hoylas would hoyl it and they wouldn't invent anything new.

10. Do you want _one_ gravity level? (with lots of gravity, makes it harder to play)
Don't overgo with gravity.

11. Do you want a bowling level? (gotta make strike)
Heeh.. no matter.

12. Do you want a apple harvest level (many many apples, many many styles)
I dislike them so no.

13. Do you want a IQ level? (hard to finish, gotta think out style)
Hm, well no matter. Not my favourite type anyway.

14. is it important to have high graphics? (grass, pictures)
Not for the best players. Yes for the noobs (and quite a big amount of the players are noobs).

15. should px be allowed to have own levels? how many max? (had three in wcup4)
One, long rollercoaster, just for the tradition again.

1. Do you want _one_ höyling level, under 20 seconds?
No, but maybe under 35 seconds.

2. Do you want _one_ long level, over three minutes?
Yes, I want long levels. The recs would be quite nice, I guess.

3. Do you want _one_ pipe level? (very hard to finish, count apples)
Well, I'm no good in pipelevels, but one pipelev is ok for me. It's a tradition.

4. Do you want _one_ headbanger kind of level? (fast, many styles)
Yes, headbangers are fun. Dunno if it should be like a pipe-shortcut, though. A long, one-route level would be nice.

5. Do you want _one_ speedloops level? (lot of speed, few styles)
If well made, it could be an interseting level, but I say, no.

6. Do you want _one_ long jump level?
No, same reason as Abula.

7. Do you want _one_ high jump level?
As above.

8. Do you want _one_ freestyle level? (coolest trick wins, not best time)
No. That's not what Elma is about :wink: Don't think it would be a fair contest.

9. Do you want _one_ internal level? (just think of it, how much the WR time could be improved..would be so cool)
No, absolutely not.

10. Do you want _one_ gravity level? (with lots of gravity, makes it harder to play)
Yeah, if well done. Not too much.

11. Do you want a bowling level? (gotta make strike)
This could be interesting. I say, Yes.

12. Do you want a apple harvest level (many many apples, many many styles)
Hmm.. maybe. Can't decide. The rec could be nice, though. =)

13. Do you want a IQ level? (hard to finish, gotta think out style)
IQ-levels are so boring. But I want an "Expert level" kind of level.

14. is it important to have high graphics? (grass, pictures)
Yes, I think so. The layout is very improtant (at least for me).

15. should px be allowed to have own levels? how many max? (had three in wcup4)
Yes, but not a rollercoaster level.

What do you think about lev where you have to die in some wall as soon as possible, and every apple you take would add something like 0,20s or 0,50s in your time? There should be faster ways (where are more apples) and little slower ways (where wouldn't be any apples) so you should think which way is actually the fastest. The point is that you should be able to pass some apples in faster ways also... I can't do such a level myself but if someone has time to do a good level like that it would be quite interesting to see in wcup... 8O

Hard to count apples everytime? lol there is replays you know.


And you could do this like the start is bugged so you dont need to take apples to finish the lev, and every apple you take is added to your finaly time, dunno how much.
