Marble Blast Ultra Records
by Jonathan Hurst · in Marble Blast · 11/08/2009 (2:24 am) · 9 replies
My name is Jonathan Hurst and I play Marble Blast Ultra for the xb360 unmodded.
Is there a way to submit times to GarageGames themselves? I'm asking this because I know I have good times and I can't go by xbox live because the leader boards are filled with cheaters. I've looked everywhere, even cyberscore.net in which I'm 4th in total points. I just want recognition for my times.

I'm registered at cyberscore.net. Jonathan "JonathanHurst" Hurst. If you wouldn't mind taking a look at my times to see if they really aren't top 10, that would be great. Note that I haven't "cheated".
I'll defiantly look at pro57. I recently read an article in GameInformer magazine where they interviewed "Woody", he's the one who sort of inspired me to play.
Again, if you wouldn't mind taking the time to look at my times at cyberscore.net I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for the reply!

Yeah, I see what you're saying regarding "cheating". It's not technically cheating because I guess anyone can shave there xb360 controller down and mod the joystick. I'm registered at cyberscore.net.

Err you have some decent times, but a lot of them really aren't up to par. Like schadenfreude 50 seconds?? Come on dude, sub 30 is easy.

Do you have xbox live by any chance? I'd like to see good times to compare to.

Wow, really? I only flipped the board once the way I did it. I might be doing it the right way, I'm just taking to long doing it. I have a capture card but its the terrible usb one. I'm going to try and start uploading videos soon so I can see how I can improve.Do you have xbox live by any chance? I'd like to see good times to compare to.

Nope, I just play MBG/MBP.

Woody is one of the best (top 3) players on the 360 for MBU, but he uses modded but heck he's very good. He also got all WRs on other games too.
Edit: checked out your scores and def. not even top 50, sorry. There's a lot of levels you can do a lot faster.

If PF checked and says 50 secs schaden then no, you're not even top 100. I'd expect about 25-26 seconds for unmodded but you'd have to do the start glitch (otherwise sub-30?).Woody is one of the best (top 3) players on the 360 for MBU, but he uses modded but heck he's very good.

I mean yeah, I'm sure it's not easy playing modded. My only problem with it is when you combine the unmmoded and modded times together. Because then I don't know how I stand.

What is the start glitch? Is there a video showing this? Because I'm really wanting to improve. I tried it again and bumped it down to 46.83, but I still don't see how I can do it any faster.

For schaden: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwYglmUa_uk
FYI this is MY route (found for MBG) and I told it to the MBU community and as you can see its basically a top time route, but there're better tweaks to it or different versions using similar idea although they are for modded controllers (I think top time is 22.xx ?)
When you want unmodded alone, ask pro57. If you want with modded, check the MBU leaderboards for any non-hacked top time and thats your top modded time. If you want unmodded and modded then its again MBU leaderboards and out of XXX,XXX people minus glitchings at the top 10-20 maybe then thats your rank.

2nd edit: These videos are OLD but you can use them for a reference for an above average time. For a top time you're talking a lot different.

And I got 41.65 within 12 hours of getting MBU (and im uber noob and hate hate hate the controller) using my own modified route (not the top one, but an easier one for me) so it should give you an indication :P

Start glitch I don't know about a video but its working on levels with MPs only. AFAIK Schaden and Battlements but since you're modded then Tree House too maybe. Basically as soon as you start you press pause and then you continue [I think, google/youtube it] and you just start early while the "start" animation is still going. The moving platforms are then changed a bit (since you start early) but the timer starts anyway.For schaden: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwYglmUa_uk

I'll be back with better times. Thanks for the videos and all of the advice. Be expecting top 50 times soon.

I know there are few levels I need to work on. But it's still kind of depressing I'm not as high up as I thought I was. This just gives me more of a reason to keep playing.I'll be back with better times. Thanks for the videos and all of the advice. Be expecting top 50 times soon.

Anyway, if you're looking for unmodded records, most of them are by pro57 and chances are you're not even close to the top 10. Checking out YouTube would be helpful.

But for pro57: http://www.youtube.com/user/xboxpro57
Note some of his videos are "modded" (he has one for unmodded and one for modded), but not all of his videos are records. Anyway, others are ibsoloaded, greed, etc and they practically own.
The leaderboards while may seem as "cheat", the otherwise top times which are legit are made by "modded" controllers which allows you to use diagonal, and considering this is in fact part of the code (and always there), it isn't technically cheating. Plus there's a controller (GameShark?) which already gives you diagonal option, so there's no point in saying cheat. However xbox360 controllers are limited in motion, hence the seemingly "cheat" variation.
Recognition for your times is best done on youtube at the moment, because the leaderboards... nothing is going to happen and even if something would happen and it would be restarted, rest assured you'd not even be top 10 (I welcome surprises though :) ). Again, contact pro57, he probably knows all the top times for unmodded.
Also take it as a no - you can't submit to GarageGames.
