As many of you know Super Meat Boy is tough as nails and requires a ton of skill to beat. Well a couple of weeks ago I finally finished all 306 levels with A+ times and got all 101 bandages. At that point my world ranking was only around 80th in the world but after improving some of my times I shot up to around 50th in the world. And after the update I should move up even higher after all the 0.00 times are taken out (many of the top leaderboard spots are obviously glitched with lots of 0.00 times). Recently I have been really focusing on improving my times in world 2 and I managed to get the fastest time in the world on 2-16X (currently not registered at #1 because of all the 0.00 times but I should be after the update) and I'm in the top 20 in the world on many other levels in world 2. After I get my world 2 times where I want them I'll move to world 3 and onwards. I'll be trying to get in the top 20 in the world overall after the update then I'll see how far up I can get on the leaderboards after that. Wish me luck!

...well, good luck with that.

That's really impressive. That game is crazy hard.

Awesome work, dude. Keep us posted.

aka My Quest to Not Pull Out All of My Hair, right?

What controller are you using? I've been doing better by leaps and bounds since I've gone to my arcade stick.

Haha nah. The only time I got really frustrated was on the level "Bleach" in the Dark Cotton World. That level was hard as fuck. "

Is that the one with the saw blades shooting right to left, then you gotta jump up and do it the other way? Fuck that level. "

congrats, so far

The 0.00 glitches are weird. I actually have a couple of those, because the replay feature broke, and it teleports your Meat Boy over to the end in like 0.1 seconds. I (being a lying scumbag) wouldn't go back and change it though.

I approve of your gamertag

I'm just talking about the 360 leaderboards, but I'll probably take a look at the PC leaderboards to see how people are doing...I just can't imagine playing this game with a keyboard though "

SMB, like most modern games, will have 360 gamepad support out of the box. "

 Yeah a gamepad will most likely be required to beat most of the harder levels.....I might pick up the PC version as well just to check out the different characters. "

Wow.  Craziness.  Impressive though.

Just don't have a break with reality, that much virtual death does things to people. You should also try playing it on a dance mat.
 
But seriously, good luck!

I'll add you to compare times. I hope they are not too good and suck me back :>

"I'll add you to compare times. I hope they are not too good and suck me back :> "

Good luck dude. You can do it!

I cant wait until they fix those leaderboards, not because i'll be near the top but because cheaters shouldnt prosper from the vile art they practice.

" @MrKlorox: Yeah good point. I think I'm just more comfortable with a gamepad....I played the original Meat Boy and it just didn't feel right to me. "

Good luck man, would be awesome if the best smb player in the world was a part of our giantbomb family. 

YOU CAN DO IT SON!

 Right on, I'm currently on a similar mission. I finished the game somewhere in the top 100 a little while ago and recently realized more and more people were pushing me backwards so I have been going through the levels trying to improve that. My goal is much lower than yours, due to the high number of 0.00 times, I have only been replaying levels which I wasn't in at least the top 1,000 times. Seems high, but some levels have like 700+ 0 second times >< I will probably go back to some of my worse ones after the update when it feels like I'm not doing all of that work to still be in 500th place in a level.
 
I finished World 3 Dark World today and even managed to snag the number 1 time on 3-16X (by 0.01 seconds no less) as well as a few in the top 10-20 or so. Last time I checked was about 6 hours ago so it may have changed but I was at position 44 on the global leaderboard for overall times. Unfortunately, I do have a couple unintentional 0.00 times as well, so the update will add a few seconds on to my time, but hopefully it also affects some of the people above me so I don't get knocked too far down.  
  
I wish you luck, and hope to see you on the boards for a goal to strive to! For reference, my gamertag is Prototype072.

Good night, and good luck. Wish you the best. 
 
That's a balls-tough game. Will get it for PC, most likely.

Very sick, hope you get to the top

That's straight up dawg up time! But seriously good job and good luck.

Good stuff man.  And here I was feeling like I accomplished something for getting the Tin Boy achievement.
