A MAGL X2 Prediction Thread

Post by pholtos »

Thought this would be a good idea, so... How well do you guys think you'll do in the contest? Shall we see who gets closest to their actual placement?

I'm gonna go with getting like... 97th place.

I'm hoping for the top 100. Top 10 would be nice, but my level isn't that good.
I'm guessing I'll be somewhere between 200th-100th, though.

168th place. It is hard to stand out!

(also still pegging Mission: Proud Sky 2 as first place)

I'm going to guess 130th. Probably optimistic, considering it's my first level.

95.

Well i guess that's more like "that's what I'd be pretty happy to see"

realistically probably closer to like 195

EDIT: But more importantly, I think the question we're all I'm wondering: "How many levels this year are going to have some form of advancing instant death wall chasing the player?" like at first I was going to say just rising lava but I've been rewatching MAGLX The Firstening and there are so many. Like a lot of levels had just straight up rising lava but then there's various horizontal forms of lava and vertical/horizontal death spike columns and you're just like

I'm guessing 50

I'll be happy with not bottom twenty. With so many contestants and this being my first level? Yeah.

I feel fairly confident that I've at least breached the half-way mark. I didn't really make anything special, but I feel like the level's still solid and the name let me give it a fairly unique theme, plus the characters I was given really let me build it around some of their strengths.

Though maybe I get points taken off for only giving fire flowers in a level with like one flamable enemy type. :P

I think what I made is on the "super neat" side of things for being my first serious attempt at working with SMBX and starting with only like 36 hours left on the deadline! <.<

My main mechanic (at least of the first section) isn't really anything too flashy, but I've never seen it done like this. (Probably would have used more lua shenanigans if I'd been able to get to it earlier, but eh, I'm at least using it for a couple minor things you can't do with vanilla)

Aaaaaaanyway, hopefully it's recieved better than my A2MT level ^^;

I'm hoping to possibly maybe get at least slightly better than last year. At the very least not in the toilet or it's equivalent.

Considering there are currently 264 entries or so and the fact this is my first level, I'm aiming for 180th or lower.
I think my level is okay, but maybe that's because I played it through in its entirety every time I made a change.
I got so good at it that I could practically speed/cheese my way through it. xD

I really badly want to make top 50, but the sheer volume of entries is going to make that a fantasy, and I feel like with so many entries, that many more levels have a chance to tickle the judges' enjoyment enough to slowly but collectively eek mine out of top 50 and even top 100. Really, this is going to be such a wild ride... judging from how I think my level is strong in many aspects but falls short in a few others, top 100 probably ain't happenin'.

But hey, I'm a dreamer. Let's go, RenaTurnip 93rd place >:O

I'd be really happy if I got 199th or higher I'd consider that a success for a first level

I should get above 200th place at the very least lol. If I don't then I guess there were serious problems in my level that I never considered.
If I get above 100th place I'll be rather happy.
If I somehow get the top 20 I'd be super amazed.
And I'd be completely speechless if I got top 10.
I'm predicting I'd get around 60th place or so though.

Aiming to hit the top 100, at least. Of course, I'll know my placement (and everyone else's) before the LP starts, but that's irrelevant!

There is one certain person I expect to make top 10 or very close, and he probably knows I'm talking about him, but that would be telling.

Of less spoilery nature, last year's winner doesn't think he'll win again, at least if I read the discussion thread correctly.

I personally hope to win, even though my level is quite rushed. I'm the kind with the "expect the worst, hope for the best" philosophy.

Ohh, that level was AMAZING. Definitely Top 10 material.
I expect #250 just because.
