Turns out strong thwacks are more optimal here than frequent thwacking

I did not know there were more improvements to strategies until I stumbled on this improvement on Welcoming Unit. I was just messing around to find a consistent way to beat Welcoming Unit faster to use it in full-game runs. Did not expect to find OCD time WR strategy.

Just preformed my OCD time WR strat as fast as possible.

The game is cut off at the bottom because my screen resolution is now 1920x1200 instead of 1920x1080, I played the game in 1920x1080 yesterday and in 1920x1200 today and forgot to properly align the game capture in OBS before recording my session.

2nd in a day. I realized 23s record was easy to beat while grinding the goal time WR. Still very improvable, up to 19-18s, or even may get 1-2s off from goal time WR if someone gets lucky enough.

Set on 12th March 19:05 UTC+10:00 without video, performed on video on 13th March 18:32 UTC+10:00

Yeah, once again, originally record was set without a video. This time I was in the VC with my friend on discord and was casually grinding it, without thinking I'll get it, and I got it on accident. That was the funniest accident ever and the best fluke I've ever had in this game. After setting the record after ~20-30 minutes of playtime this day, it took me ~4 hours of playtime in total to do it again. Didn't say about it before just because I didnt want to be laughed on due to not recording myself getting an "impossible" record. But noy y'all know the truth.
Anyways, that was the 1st extreme record of mine that will stay on leaderboards forever. An insane and extremely rare achievement.

I think I got a curse. When I set Weather Vane WR, I did it without a video 2 times, when I set Fly Away Little Ones OCD WR (0:09) turned out I didnt have a video on it. And here, when I switched to Bandicam because when I was recording using OBS the game was lagging, it recorded the music I was listening to on my headphones (the WoG audio is usually played on my speakers). So, I muted the audio.
The record itself is not hard at all, like BatET OCD 15s, but it still took me like 2 days to beat and ~3-4 hours of playtime in total. Most likely the record will get improved in the future.

I just switched to playing on a diffrent resolution and now my thwacking is on crack
- comments from player

This record was the main reason I switched to a non-widescreen resolution. If you are using widescreen the camera is more zoomed in, which makes thwacking significantly harder.
Anyway wow 2 world records in one day :o

4 consecutive hours of grinding and many unlucky attempts. One of my hardest accomplishments in this game and my first 'moves' world record.

Regarding the level, it was not an enjoyable experience. Trying to egnite the structure with the fuse was a tedious process, and to thwack a 2 stranded albino line is not an easy task. Pretty much everything after that is much easier, but very chokable.

Accurate time: 10.22s
This is the only record I had to redo 3 times just because I wasn't recording or the video was bad. Anyways, new WR.
9s is certainly possible.

Holy damn. I didn't expect this to come so fast today. I tied the record last winter but eventually quit because of demotivation and inconsistency. For some reason today I decided to throw some attempts at it, and to my surprise it didn't even take me 10 minutes!

The record itself barely reaches the 12 second mark, almost off by a couple of milliseconds.
I'm so happy to finally have this off my chest!

要点：先搭10步，再稍向右上吹笛子，然后搭8步够到最顶上的云。吹笛子配合砸框直到气球被叫醒为止，迅速搭建两个气球后使被断的支架到达右边两朵云的中间，叫醒足够多的粘粘球后把支架砸到管道。

I really didn't think it would be realized. This is a true extreme record, and quite possibly the most extreme of all time records. But looking back there is still room for improvement in speed. I think the key to success is to move the ball (especially the last ball) must be fast and accurate.

The suffering came to the end.
This is one of the most annoying WRs I ever tried to set. There were fails due to bad thwacking, timebigs and attaching the bomb to structure on the right on accident. It was painful.
2 moves or less is possible, but you have to do the 0 move start, and that's extreme. But doable.
My next target is the highest tower record.

To gain the record, it only takes a little more effort than collecting 10 balls in 5s in the level. In fact, it is a lot easier than Goal 4s.

肝一小时肝出来的纪录。比小峡谷4s和服务器农场4s都简单，有一定的容错率，可以看到视频中有两个失误。

One of the hardest records in WoG history.
This record is an extreme combination of luck and skill, if you have bad luck (goos are not close enough to pipe, to few common goos, timebugs too close to goos e.t.c.) - you lost. Building speed must be almost perfect. It took me 6k+ restarts and 9 months to get the run.
Harder than TSF 4s? Maybe.
9s possible? I'm not sure.

本来是没想用这种方法的，但是弹火的时候球碰巧落到了支架右边，这局比较幸运，成功利用不稳定结构拆出了三角支架，多收了两球。

如果把支架弹到左边还可以再多收一球，但因为风险有点大没敢尝试。

Well, this WR required some thinking outside of the box.
I had thoughts of detaching one of the evil eyes by the starting structure and tried to do so, but no success. This time, I did this pretty quickly.
0m is impossible.

Accurate time: 15.7s
An hour before the WR, I collected 28 gooballs in 15s because I pressed continue button too early on accident. But after that pure 15s didn't take too long.
14s is possible, but very extreme, like TSF 4s.

From Bilibili:

方法是 peter B 打的 10s 是一样的，我做了一点优化，主要在两点，一个是从两边都扔红球让支架尽快吸上管道，另一个是扔绿球尽可能直接扔到管道口（但是视频里这一步只成功了 5 个球，最后一个还是耽误了一点时间，还好还是成功 9s 了）。

这关基本就是看运气，每一步都很看运气。然后我觉得这关 8s 是可行的。

第一步运用了 collision fling/double fling 的技巧。当 bit、pilot 这类可 fling 的球与几何物体碰撞时，或者球在与几何物体接触（即使此时球在支架上也可行）的情况下被发射后，它短时间内可以再一次被选中并发射。


From email:

It was the same strategy as ptr231's 10s record but I tried to make some optimization. I threw pilots right then left in order to make the strand reach the pipe quicker. I also tried to control the direction I throw bits(throw up and weaken the force to some extent) to make them directly fly into the pipe instead of landing on the strand (although it is very hard and luck-based and the 6th ball in the video didn't succeed). This level is very luck-based. I think 8s is possible and 7s is impossible.

I use a trick called 'double fling' where a flug ball can be regrabbed as it launches allowing for a 2nd fling in mid-air. The regrab only works when the ball is in contact with geometry.

From email:

The possibility of this record was first proposed by dahkjdas. He spent a lot of time on it. He once achieved the de facto fastest record for this level, only one frame more than 4s. But then he couldn't do better. Knowing this, I tried to break it last month. However, I achieved countless 5s, but never achieved 4s. We agreed that there was a huge barrier between the 4s and 5s, and that the 4s was extremely difficult. After that, I took some time off. Recently, after switching to a better mouse, I thought about the level again and tried to break it again. Fortunately, this time I succeeded.
To achieve this record, the speed of both building and moving the ball must be close to the limit. So this is probably one of the most difficult time records to achieve.

New strat: make 3 moves to the sleeping gooballs, so these goos will wake up pretty fast if you push the structure to the bottom. It obliterates RNG in this level. Then thwack the structure to the top, but it`s not that simple. You should thwack it to probably the highest humanly possible position for it. The structure should be slightly on the left, and the ball at the bottom left should be on the platform itself, not on its side, otherwise the tower will not reach the pipe.
This strategy has a great potential. 3 last moves should be pretty precise, which is the reason of small speed in the end. Limit of the level is at 20s or less with this strat.
I consider this record as a door to the room for improvement, so anyone, even not really skilled player can try beating this. With enough practice, you can become consistent at it. Good luck!
