hey everyone this is steve from gamers nexus dotnet and today we are looking at some more shootmania storm this time it is obstacle mode so quite a bit different from royal which I've already uploaded obstacle is a player sustained mode it is pretty cool basically players go create maps that are obstacle courses you don't actually fight other players at all you're just fighting for time so whoever gets the fastest time is the winner of the map and the hardest part is just overcoming the obstacles that is the most rewarding part 2 it often takes several tries I have not yet played this map so we are going to check it out right now and learn it together what we need to do here these are simple jump pads nothing too hard about that we need to hit these which are checkpoints that way if you run into something like a void wall or something else you will respawn at the checkpoint and I saw that guy do this so I already know how this part is done simple jump there and let's jump down to this pad that's the wrong direction we need to go this way and the reason I do that is because i saw that blue void wall if you run into that it will kill you and force you to respawn you'll have to do everything between the checkpoint and yourself this is checkpoint 2 so we are good on that this is like a skateboard type thing like a roller coaster almost you hold space you can accelerate down it release at the bottom and you'll jump and I wall jumped off of that and hit here so that is part of the fun really is a the insane amount of dexterity required on the harder courses which this is not in order to wall jump properly and bounce around between objectives so I'll show you while jump in this contained area there it is jumped off the wall hit the blue ceiling and you know how it works now okay so looking at this we're going to bounce off that go forward that is a grappling line right there and I'll show you how that works I'm guessing we're gonna have to grab it where do we go we go up okay and we hit checkpoint four and this is a boot camp server that means it is an a much easier server than some of the harder ones it is tying me to look down for the next checkpoint which is very kind of them basically helping players learn the ropes of optical mode the reason I'm playing this is because the other the harder server is the more serious ones can take hours just to figure out the map em and complete it so that's obviously not very video friendly if you like you know platforming speedrun types games then you will love the harder courses I personally I do like the challenge but a couple hours for one is a bit too much so I really enjoy the bootcamp server overshot that what we need to do here it looks like is skate down this ramp and then jump at the right time to hit this I did not do it at the right time but that's okay because I didn't go over the edge which is all that really matters and now we're here looks like another grapple and another one of these loop around 180 grapple type thing and I think from here probably not jumping that way where is the checkpoint where are you there it is checkpoint over there so I probably need to jump from this to that one on the node of shooting things you do get to use the gun a little bit for wall jumping a lot of the time and for speed boosts pretty cool use of the weapon there because it will give you a speed boost in the direction you are shooting it can you know be negative momentum if you're shooting a same direction as you're going like if I'm running forward and I shoot it will actually push me backwards that can be useful for avoiding walls if you shoot it the other way it'll push you backwards so useful if you need some more speed I didn't use that but that looks like you can speed it up next time so I will be running through this course a second time excuse me on the left side you can see the scores players have received on this Web looks like the fastest of which was 1 minute 32 seconds pretty quick I don't know where I'm even going right now okay that was close so one minute one minute 30 seconds is the fastest we are going to try and at least Wow at least get in the top half when I rerun this course in a moment shouldn't be too hard and that's really how the bootcamp server works you get through the course and then you do it again you tried to go faster each time just like speedrunning in a platformer game missed that but better to get all the mistakes out now than on the second run which will be the more official run for the course for me so we're going to grapple here by holding space land on that pad and then go forward and I'm just gonna stop for a second then look at do here go for the easy way out hit the great and then simple run and jump over here where's this is okay so we need to grapple up at the top that does not seem easy good thing with grappling is you can swing to use your momentum and speed the grapple up and then you can grapple higher as you get higher but I was ready high enough so we we hit the goal that's the end of it I'm ranked three out of five on the server right now there are only four players so really three out of four and on the left side over here I'm ranked 38 with the local record of five minutes and 6 seconds so now i have a two minutes and 44 seconds I've poked me up to rank 32 instead of 36 or whatever I was you can disable respawning if you know you're already going fast and you know that a single respawn will ruin your time you can hit up for disabled responding completely and that's how that works let's see if we can do one more of these a bit faster and this one I'm going to pull all stops we're already ten seconds ahead of schedule here pretty good fall down go to the right there we go still 10 seconds ahead see if we can keep that because if we do I will move up quite a few ranks actually alright wow we're almost through the course already so you can see how obstacle works as you learn the map it gets much faster and starts becoming competitive with other players on the server you can get a high local record like the guy in number one who's one minute 32 seconds that is pretty insane and that gets you a bit of local Fame on the server as well as just some cool titles to hold because the game is really all about ranks in the ladder system this is of course an unofficial mode so it's not ranked globally like the other systems are for free for all an team-based games but it is ranked locally on the server so you can at least see how you compare against the other players I do this one again that was pretty close to missing but just barely got it I think I can do this without sprinting yep you can sprinting by the way happens by holding space while you're you jump hold space and then when you land you'll start sprinting if you time it perfectly you actually are much more efficient when you ski or sprint as I'm calling it as you hit the ground if you use it before you hit the ground it's just changing direction and is actually incredibly inefficient so try to only sprint when you're on the ground even though it does require jumping to initiate it's a bit more challenging but well worth it so I screwed that part up but no worries I can just do this again much faster than swinging back and forth there we go and that one was what two minutes and 9 seconds 35 seconds faster that puts me in ranked 22 so that is how obstacle mode works there are a lot of maps with this mode and they are all pretty awesome it's just it's a it's a fun game mode they get as hard as you want really or as easy as this this one did not take a whole lot of thought to figure out but it was still challenging enough and fun to fill a bit of time so i highly recommend checking out shootmania in the hole and obstacle mode please check out the Royal video which should be linked in the description below that is the 1i recorded earlier and uploaded it is an insanely awesome free-for-all game mode there's also team elite which I may do a video of as well that is a more competitive mode for those of you into eSports and that's it I will see you all next time peace
