Lecture time! lol

 

Every parkour trick has 2 important properties:

• Difficulty - how hard it is to make the trick work well, or work at all.
• Stability / Consistency - the sensitivity of the trick to tiny changes that affect the outcome of the trick.

A player's skill helps achieving a high success rate when doing difficult tricks, but some tricks are just so unstable that you need to be inhumanly good to get exactly the outcome you want without any luck.

 

Examples:

 

 

Example for a very stable trick: Tower. The tanks can drive on different timing or not drive at all, use different equipment, be rotated differently, lag, etc... and yet the outcome of the trick will never be very different. The only thing you need to succeed in this trick is a basic level of skill that allows you to get on top of other tanks and not fall off, no luck involved, which means that a success rate of 100% is achievable.

 

Example of a more difficult trick with many possible outcomes, but still very stable: Edge Jump. While you can make all kinds of different edge jumps (different length, height, flips, horizontal rotation...) you still can get full control over it after practicing and mastering this trick, you can get to a level of mastery where you won't need any luck at all to do an edge jump exactly the way you want to do it. Again, a success rate of 100% is achievable, but it takes more skill to achieve this success rate.

 

Example for an unstable trick: Elevator. There are many variations of this trick, and most of them are very unstable at high jumps. You have a stream of strong projectiles hitting the jumper at a very consistent rate, and yet you need a team of inhumanly good players to land on a skyscraper every single time because it is so sensitive to lag and to the the jumper's rotation during the takeoff. Because of this low stability even the most skilled parkourists can't get even close to a success rate of 100% in most variations of this trick, unless their target is a normal house and not a skyscraper. In some unstable variations of this trick the success rate can be 2% which means you will succeed in it once every 50 attempts on average even if you are the most skilled parkourist in the world.

 

 

 

In this challenge the key to finishing it fast enough is not just being skilled enough to land on each of these targets, but to come up with 2 tricks that their success rate gives a high probability of landing both tricks successfully at the same time. For example, if you achieve a success rate of 80% in the trick to the house, it is most likely that you'll only need to land on the sign successfully once. If your success rate in landing on the house is 10%, it is most likely that you will have to land successfully on the sign 10 times before you'll finish the challenge.

Equipment, some trick are not possible without specific equipment and mastery (challenge 2...).

Well, 

 

 

 

 

Had the same idea as other teams, but only had 5 for the last solid 5 hours of the challenge  :lol: yet we never managed to do the trick simultaneously.. It was a true honor to parkour with players from clubs FnF, NGUP and GTT. @Exintus, @govenier, @neel123, @Mjro7. All were mature, and have busy lives, which I respect also. 

 

I heavily would like to point out, even though this mine lag has been known for ages. Please, can you fix this? Lots of people spend in this game, I myself have spent more than you can imagine, yet they cannot invest a small amount of time to fix this mine lag, which is not even the problem of my side. My ping is relatively stable, yet it makes parkour a horror and simply ruins at least 50% of potential tries we could've done. 

 

I've also learnt from my mistakes these past weeks in Parkour, and never truly realised how much effort and patience each team must have to complete challenges. Some teams are lucky, but especially FnF (I feel like I've been much more subjectively biased and offensive to). I just want to say, every team who made it this far, or even done a few challenges, everyone did a good job, and no disrespect to any of you guys. Keep up the good work.

A little poem from @Modesty: 

 

We're attempting our best to get past every day, 

Attempting our best, however we can't discover our way (the trick lol)

Out of the haziness and into the light; 

We're attempting, We're attempting with the majority of our strength. 

We've attempted and We've attempted!

 

At least we tried guys. Tribute to @Xone, @intestinito, , . No worries, indeed we failed but InshaAllah next year will be ours  :wub:

I'm just so sad we didn't finish it with low accounts - we literally had only 30 minutes together and almost managed to land. It's even more frustrating, since I know we WERE able to land it - we landed sign, and house, once almost both, and all that in a very short time.
Any chance of giving a extra day time? :(
Anyway, for all those who did pass, congratz

Aside from the fact that this contest is also about time management, we are 3 weeks behind schedule.  :ph34r:

Yes, we already have the next 3 Parkour Contests / Tournaments planned and scheduled.

[Notorious_Criminals 61]

 

I think them already adding an extra day was more then enough..And thats coming from my team doing it 3 seperate times...We still had time to do it another 3 times

i know bro but consider my point of view because some players are really busy with school or others have hard time landing on sign but can they please give till tuesday 20 utc after that no more extra day

Yes true, but like I feel a bit more time is needed for people to try at least. The start of the challenges rules wasn't 100% accurate, and the demand for only 1 day wasn't the best amount of time needed necessary.

yes you are right

[Atlanta 181]

yeah i actually agree .-., the start of the challenge wasn't clear so valuable time was lost and it wouldn't kill to increase the deadline by a day or 2.
