Re: CONTEST! Kick/throw a head
Well people are too lazy to download every little thing here. We have a problem with people just uploading anything. A simple kick can be "the fastest kick ever", and so on.
So unless people know the effort will be worth it, then they will download/discuss.
don't unban, he has hard coded userid bypasses everywhere.

okay, i think this one is close... (see attached)

we need an impartial judge to decide i have been zooming out from the default position to make uke the same hight on the first frame (using a ruler on the screen), and then using the top of the screen to measure height.

any more for anymore?

edit: another idea for measuring, zoom out until just before the characters dissapear and then mark the head height on your screen using a non-permanent marker pen (not recommended for TFTs!! ;) )

Re: CONTEST! Kick/throw a head
You can press I and then clicking on the head to get the exact height.

edit: I'm too lazy to find my height records because i don't remember in what version i did it, searching in 10 folders from over 1000 replays is a pain in the ass.
HIYAAAAAAaaa FACEKICK IN YOUR FACE....... Nah i'm just kidding
Re: CONTEST! Kick/throw a head
Thanks chez!

If I looked at the correct number (the rightmost on the pos row)

mine's 17.139814
and yours is 21.882588

So I guess I was right when I said you won Grats! (Unless someone else still has a submission)
Re: CONTEST! Kick/throw a head
I learnt an important lesson about conservation/transfer of momentum today

okay...

plan was: grab ukes head, chuck it up in the air, position underneath, and kick/punch it back up. the theory was that if the collision was elastic, the head would go miles, if the collision was inelastic it was a waste of time who can guess what happened? ;)

the upside of the whole process was absolute comedy gold!! - check out <01_heads up.rpl>

a very good example of an inelastic collision i think

p.s. feel free to take over from the kneeling position with ukes head if you want to try a more conventional method of launching it into orbit.

Re: CONTEST! Kick/throw a head
Here are 2 replays. Veryhighheadthrow goes the highest i think and scorpian decap goes both high and far. I think veryhighheadthrow is the highest yet on this competition. It goes to 24.48 or something during the replay but it looks like it goes higher after the match is over.
