What's your fastest run?

[TattersailNightwish]

I'm still at 1:17:25. Can't seem to break through into the 1:16's.
My cunning isn't maxxed, I'm wondering if that's where the shortfall is.

It's not your cunning holding you back, assuming you use super sprint anyway, mines at 350.

I looked, Stamina, Endurance, and Speed are maxxed (I know Speed doesn't need to be for a Super Sprint setup).
So Cunning and Acceleration are what are left short.
I'm using Super Sprint with the Stamina III buff.
Just can't crack into the 1:16's.

You just need 350+ speed, stam and endurance 500 for a chance at a perfect run assuming you have super sprint. beyond that it's just the RNG of not getting meteored by another racer, RNG of what you can grab if you need more stam from pickups (depending on your 2nd ability) and your racing line. you also want foul weather preferred, apparently it matters even with super sprint but i can't be 100% sure on that. if you have all those other things ticked, you are taking a bad line.

the hardest part of chocobo racing is just learning to take the shortest line, not the fastest apex. you don't slow down when you turn like in a car or kart racing. where you normally aim to stay as straight as possible to maintain maximum speed, in chocobo racing you just need short distances.

hope the explanation helped and good luck with your time! it's hard to feel motivated to set a new one when no one has beat my last one, yet so i look forward to checking back and finding i have work to do again

DO you need 350 speed? I've read many times that Super Sprint will add 150 to your speed, so 350 was all you need. I was toying with another breeding attempt to put more into cunning (taking away from top speed).

[Og_Nissin]

i haven't tested lowering speed personally, i use a chocobo with 500 speed so i have options on the other tracks too.

New fastest time, knocked another 0.05 seconds off. Pretty confident nobody is beating this one.

[TattersailNightwish]

I'm stuck at 1:17.10. Thought I had a perfect run last night, best lines, nothing hit me at all....
Just can't break in to the 1:16's

Here are my three course (world?) records.

Those are amazing times, I've been trying recently and the best I could get was 1:16.90, I have no idea how some of you are achieving these fast times!
We must be doing something completely different because I can consistently hit these 1:16.9x with a good start and no meteors, but I'm having a hard time finding any other time saves... I don't think perfecting my current line would save more than a few 0.01s...



I would really appreciate if someone could show a video or give a more detailed explanation of the lines everyone's taking and strategies or conditions for these times below 1:16.80, or how you improved your time when your bests were .90 like mine!
