News: ROTW #219 - shNz on cg_coldbhop_v2

24/07/19 - 21:36:00

Written by: Nubz

Howdy XJ,

It is time to release the ROTW #219! This week, picking up the run was difficult to say the least. So many good runs in the last release by many players but

shNz

definitely did stand out once again. Many of his runs could have been picked but cg_coldbhop_v2 won the lottery! Even if it is just a 0.01 seconds improvement, it tells you how good the run already was. In fact, I personally thought that

neXt.

could have it forever... But no,

shNz

decided to give it a try!

He executed the run in a very different style from the previous World Record. Doing new skips and longer combos, almost bhopping the whole map! So how come he "only" improved by 0.01 seconds? He did some extra SCJs which ate x amount of time from the previous run. Hopefully, we will see a battle movie in the future to analyze these runs in a closer view.

About the edit: I tried to bring oldschool vibes to this cool and old map as cg_coldbhop_v2 is. Enjoy your watch!

News: UE4 Project - shNz on bkz_goldbhop

Good evening, XJ!

This time we would like to present something uncommon. Something that was not so wide-spread throughout the community when released.

In previous years, there were ambitious projects using more advanced procedures and moviemaking software.
We all remember

IceVip

and his breakthrough in this matter, following up with other moviemakers experimenting with C4D usage as well. This time it's

kawai

, and his new storyline/atmospheric project created using Unreal Engine 4.

There is not a brick (maybe grain of sand in this case) on its place after this re-edition. The movement was affected a lot as well, you can barely expect anything conventional. Using the well known formula of bkz_goldbhop in a case where it is not a cliché certainly turns heads. Just from top of my memory, I remember iNsprate's C4D edit of kz_summercliff2 which is very organic and fun to watch (due to his map/run choice). Nevertheless this time it's bkz_goldbhop, like never before:

A few words from

kawai

himself:

It should be the 4th speed-run movie I created with UE4 workflow, which is inspired by the classic KZ map, namely bkz_goldbhop. The jumper, shNz , is one of my idols in this game-mode. He was away for so long but was finally back these days and brought such amazing demos to us. I made this speed-run movie, just to share my feelings to all the people: shNz is back, and he is always that unique shNz . This movie is not traditional KZ movie, so it's not easy to make everyone happy with it. Thanks for watching and supporting!

News: XJ Premiere: k3g & nobody^ - Fooling Death II

Wonderful wednesday, dear XJ community!

As you might guess when you see me on the frontpage... It is something related to kreedz movies. Yes!

Today we are blessed with another fresh kz movie. This time by

ivansky who is mostly known for his longjumps but not so much for his moviemaking. I must say I was surprised when I heard about this project but even more when I saw the actual movie! It is so well put with amazing chilled atmosphere starring who? The two oldschoolers

k3G and

nobody^! A year or two back you wouldn't probably even hope to ever see these guys again... Well I guess you and I were wrong.

Fooling Death II is a sequel for the first episode originally made by

zuveeh

. The sequel follows the concept just perfectly. It is full of creative edgebugs in different environments. You will see edgebugs made backwards, spinning (a few in a row), edgebugs on invisible and moving elements, ledges involved... And the list goes on... Impressive to say the least!

This year has been great for moviemaking. This specific form of art that was almost completely gone has now reborn by many great movies and clips lately. Awesome! And from what I know, the rest of the year is going to be at least as epic as it has been so far.

So... Sit back, grab a beer with you or whatever it takes to get you chilled and enjoy this awesome movie for almost 8 minutes!

IMPORTANT:

We are currently using the same route rules as kz-rush to avoid confusion when recording for multiple communities. These rules were going to be added on XJ a while ago but that work unfortunately came to a halt. Until we have a route section of our own, you can check the route rules from the kz-rush article found here. Apologies for any inconvenience this has caused. Big thank you to kz-rush for writing such a detailed guide for each map.

Our own demo rules section has also gotten updated, removing irrelevant information and hopefully simplifying things. You can check it out here.

The following maps have received new routes:

kz_kzsca_cavemine[-md] - using the big bhop shortcut is not allowed
kzro_raincliff[-md] - using the shortcut from the wooden handrail is not allowed
cg_d2block_ez[-boost] - using any of the ladders for boosting is not allowed

News: ROTW #218 - shNz on kz_xj_ezbrickjump

16/06/19 - 21:36:36

Written by: Hardbitter 3's

Hello, dear community!

Many excuses for having us get you bored with rather dull front page lately, it's not due laziness but rather something not quite worthy of taking your time to be explained.

Now what should be worthy of your attention is a single record that was chosen out of 47 from the last week's demo release! I don't honestly know what exactly was a criteria behind choosing this exactly record but I know for a fact that you can never go wrong with kz_xj_ezbrickjump and

shNz

. Both being as ancient as mammoths in the worlds of kreedz, and hence making a map being perfected to a unit, and a jumper being a first class degree graduate of kreedz zen. Just imagine, what would it take for an average kz-being to beat 37 (!) records within 2 demo releases. Some say that shNz recorded his second half of 37 records (which is 17) after getting frustrated that, in the previous release, fykseN was luckier to take the spot at a ROTW, having half as much demos in release than himself. But that's just speculations.

Speaking of the ROTW itself, I have to personally thank

CyniuThunder

for letting the run remain nearly as simple as it was intended to be! Nevertheless, completing the run with some dynamic vibes, which totally feels like home on a map like this.

Enjoy the watch!
