8) The Detonator Challenge 8)

That's right people! Regardless how unpopular this mode is I am putting this
challenge out to any and all Wipeout HD Players.


The Goal
--------------

Pump some life into Detonator and get some more interest in the record tables!


How the Challenge Works
-------------------------------------

Detonator is based off the record tables and individually run, so this challenge post is merely to pick a track for people to focus
on. I/Someone will either pick or create a vote to pick a track on a Bi-Weekly schedule. Who ever has the highest score at the end
of the second week gets.....nothing really lol. I will post the names in this post and it can stay there till we come across the track again.

When you do your record runs please copy down the final stats of your best run
including stages complete, mine %, Bombs hit, and number of 5/10/15 chains and post them here


Detonator Tutorial
---------------------------
You can find a complete English and French Tutorial HERE (http://www.mediafire.com/?mzjiwjwmnr2), which was put together by Darkdrium777.
Don't expect to immediately get record scores just from this tutorial, but it points you in the right direction.
Contact him if you would like to translate this into another language as I'm sure it would be appreciated.


You can also use HellfireWZ's video guide found HERE (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdxSMzRbwlo) which shows all the basics and a few hints.


Rules
---------

No additional rules to state other then those found within the mode already.
I have yet to see a glitch score but if you encounter glitch please report it.

Final Word
-------------
This thread will most likely sink to the bottom of the Arena page thanks to the many posts in WWC related threads.
I plan to respond to any relevant question or comments to try and keep it anywhere on the front page.
Wanna talk about the mode? Ask for hints? Complain how you can't beat the elite golds :p? HERE (http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6522) is the Detonator Discussion Thread

:clap Special Thanks :clap (After the final word lawls :lol)
-------------------------
I want to thank Darkdrium777 for first creating and secondly letting me link his awesome detonator guide.
Next, I want to thank HellfireWZ for creating and allowing me to link his video detonator guide.
Thirdly I want to thank those who already play this awesome mode, your competitiveness inspired me to create this challenge.
Finally I wanna thank Studio Liverpool for developing the wonderful game of Wipeout HD and the subsequent Fury downloadable content.

All I did was make a fancy looking post, but there isn't actually anything for me to do andy, lol.

I have a few things with my new place to sort out but expect me to start running it in the week to come.

School man, doubt I'd have the time, that's all.

That sucks! I've got school also, but soon enough (IE next week) its nose to the grin stone so I hear where your coming from. If you ever get a chance I'd love to see you put up some run.

MEDIC! MEDIC!
Do do do dooo do do dooooooooo, come sing with me.

lol, I haven't even touched my TF2 for a week or so now, I love payload but thats about it. Whats is your steam account?
/off topic

The more the merrier Vart, put some runs in and see how you do. My latest score is no where near perfect, so I'd say 950k-1mil is very possible.

0 15-chains? go for more chains at the beginning!

RedScar
13th September 2009, 11:15 PM
1 Week remaining on this weeks challenge, lets get some more people posting scores even if it they aren't awesome highscoring runs! What happened to all this tough talk from vart and yeldar :P

I made a new record on Talon's Junction:

Mines Cleared: 75.6%
Bombs Cleared: 13/14
5-Chains: 45
10-Chains: 9
15-Chains: 4

Total Score: 895075

It was a very bad run, so I think 1mio points are possible

Well a mixture of school and being sick made me unable to try and best sHoqa so CONGRATULATIONS to him for winning the first round of the Detonator challenge.

Sad turnout though, only 3 scores were entered so all three make the podium with no effort from others. :?

Weeks 3-4: Metropia Forward
GL and MORE PEOPLE COMPETE!

Well I'm going to close this weeks competition down since all but 2 people competed. Pretty sad although I can't judge to much since I'm taking a break from WO myself. The front post will be updated after my classes today! Grats again to sHoqa and YA to dark for posting a score unlike the rest of you sissies.
