Last minute attempt yielded 22.25. 2 BR's, 11 speed pads, HD Triakis.

I was getting pretty annoyed, my previous time (22.46) was something I was really unhappy with, and I beat my ghost consistently for a full 99 lap session until the last corner with the BR. Didn't take me long after that to finally beat it, and get something I can look forward to beating with a ship I like now :P

Didn't realise it, but I finally won our rivalry this week, with a 22.93! Still, doesn't change the fact that you've beat me every other week Mietepiet :D

Nice work amplificated!

Some fantastic Speed Lapping this week guys, particularly as the challenge proved to be rather difficult this week - well done to all who competed, and a particular congratulations to Rezatron's joint world record time :clap All times from this week will be added to the Hall of Fame.

This week's criteria are as follows: SPEED LAP/TALON'S JUNCTION (REVERSE)/VENOM/GOTEKI 45

The Time Trial Challenge will begin next week, but I would like to get some opinions from you guys - would you like the criteria for Time Trials to be the same as the Speed Lap week or different?

yeldar2097
8th November 2009, 06:49 PM
Same criteria and mandatory participation in the SL challenge (as mentioned in earlier posts) :+
Can we start now? pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease? :P (eager beaver over here)

Gonna have a crack now, will edit this post with time :g

I have just done 50 laps the best i time i got was

0.34.00 10 Speedlaps 1 BR Goteki fury

KGB
8th November 2009, 08:10 PM
You should keep the TT the same speed, track and ship as the SL. It would be too complicated any other way. I also agree on the SL being obligatory to enter the TT side of things. Can we hope for a Phantom one at some point. :D It's where my heart lies.

Rezatron
8th November 2009, 10:15 PM
great work everyone,
I have just done 50 laps the best i time i got was

0.34.00 10 Speedlaps 1 BR Goteki fury

Early run, only 13 laps :P : 33.99 - 10 pads - 1BR - Goteki+

I'm convinced i'm missing something on this track... does everyone boost at the loop?

yeldar2097
8th November 2009, 10:48 PM
Yes, I boost at the loop, checking out a possible alternative though...
I got 33.3x I think... will have a check in a sec (teehee)

Rezatron
8th November 2009, 11:00 PM
Yeah I think you can boost and BR towards the end of the lap (last turn), not sure if possible at this speed.

12 more laps: 23.95 - 10 pads - 1BR - Goteki+

Don't see room for much improvement here... :brickwall

edit: nevermind, 33.69 now

amplificated
9th November 2009, 04:50 AM
Just had a a 50 lap session and got 0.02 of a second behind both Rez and my Icaras time... I think I can improve on that, so we'll see how we go.

I don't think I've even used the Fury Goteki before this; at least it isn't like adjusting to the Triakis xD

//current time:
33.71, 10 speed pads, 1 BR, Fury Goteki

XBARNSTERX
9th November 2009, 05:34 AM
was ! ;)

lol:P

Whats the current record now then mate?

I used hd icaras for mine, i believe it to be faster round this track for some reason.
I tried and tried in icaras+ and couldnt beat my pb, then found it surprisingly easier with the other ship:mad:

Rezatron hows 10 extra seconds better lol.

For the br at the start its best to pitch up down an up for the height, better than just down up IMO :D

@Rezatron...I meant the post you made for this weeks challenge sorry, you put 23 instead of 33 thats all lol. Sorry for the confusion.:)

33.30, 10pds, 2brs, goteki+

Rezatron
9th November 2009, 05:34 AM
I just found that it's possible to do a BR from the turbo boost at the start of the race (i'm sure this is known to many). It's very difficult to pull off (at least for me) and when I get it I totally mess up the first corner...

Barnster: it's 21.62 (referring to Modesto Rapier SL)

leungbok
9th November 2009, 06:50 AM
You must boost a little before the end/start line to take the first turn easier while BR-ing ;)

amplificated
9th November 2009, 06:56 AM
Do you guys have any tips on how to consistently do the boost-br? I can only do it, based on my attempt just now, about 1 in every 25 laps.

Somehow I got a new time in the same session; 33.66. Don't know how I got an ok boost at the start while failing to boost-BR...

XBARNSTERX
9th November 2009, 07:15 AM
Do you mean at the start mate?

Leungbok mate i've just managed to beat yet another bsb time,
vineta k rev venom, and i missed a br too :D

leungbok
9th November 2009, 07:31 AM
Oh nice ! :clap
Was bsb really advantageous on vineta k reverse ?

Dark_Phantom_89
9th November 2009, 08:19 AM
34.48, 1 BR, 10SP's for me so far. Will see if it changes over the week

EDIT: 34.14 now

amplificated
9th November 2009, 08:22 AM
Do you mean at the start mate?

Indeed I do

It just seems almost random whether or not it allows me to gain height... I don't have the right timing for it or something.

phaeton_pl
9th November 2009, 06:07 PM
I just got a quick session: 10 x speed lap, 2 x time trial

SL: 33.52 10SP's, 2BR's

TT: 1.46.80 30SP's, 3BR's

both with Fury Goteki.

Boost BR is advantageous here but must be perfectly timed. Works well on all speed classes :)

EDIT: 3 BR's in TT, 1 per lap, sorry :D

KGB
9th November 2009, 06:43 PM
Not tried TT yet, I thought it started next week.

My time is rubbish at the moment, can't remember what it is. Where are you getting 6 BRs at phaeton_pl? On SL I can get one at the loop and if I'm lucky one at the start line, but I must be missing something yet again if you can get 6 in TT.

Dark_Phantom_89
9th November 2009, 06:46 PM
TT starts next week, you are correct KGB.

I'm also interested in the 2BR's. I can't even attempt the one at the start - it just looks impossible to me. Is there a possible 3rd BR?

yeldar2097
9th November 2009, 06:58 PM
Depends on your boost location ;)

Actually phaeton is a bit of a BR fiend so maybe he's found a sneaky one somewhere :)

Mietepiet
9th November 2009, 07:22 PM
My time so far is an 34.69 - 10pads - 1br - goteki+

I can also use a little help on that 2nd br, been trying that br leungbok does in his phantom sl video, but that one looks impossible for me on this class :(

yeldar2097
9th November 2009, 07:34 PM
Wanna vid?

Mietepiet
9th November 2009, 07:54 PM
You know I like vid's, don't ya?
And I know you like to record one, soo.. .yes please!

yeldar2097
9th November 2009, 08:22 PM
33.04 - 10 Pads - 2BRs - G45+ (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7VRHpyp7N4)

Things to do differently (apart improving lines because that's always possible):
Boost slightly earlier and pitch up so that you 'skip' more of the mag loop.
Left Sideshift on the last pad (my fingers got in a muddle :lol)

KGB
9th November 2009, 08:25 PM
Depends on your boost location ;)

Hmmm? When I was trying various places to boost I thought that you may be able to use it just before the left-hander before the loop - missing a bit of the corner - BR - landing and using the speed to BR again into the loop, Obviously didn't do it, but it's the thought that counts isn't it. :D

I think I'm a second down on this which is hard to take as it's only on venom. I've often wondered why I was about 5 seconds down on the phantom times, it's all becoming very clear that I wouldn't know a decent line if it was painted on the track, or if the first thought to cross my mind is true, you're all cheating. :P

yeldar2097
9th November 2009, 08:36 PM
Link now up in previous post.

Haha, that's exactly the boost method I tried to do yesterday KGB (I failed but it's defs there somewhere) :D
Great minds eh?

If anyone can ID the song in my video I'll give you a cookie, I'm desperate to know what it is :)

leungbok
9th November 2009, 09:34 PM
Kgb and Yeldar, i tried too to boost before the loop (in the chicane) and even with a little shortcut+a BR using the boost + a 2nd BR hiting the pad and landing on the loop it seems slower than a simple boost/BR in the loop :eek
Maybe a BR at the end could be advantageous, but not easy at venom speed !
Nice vid as usual Yeldar ;)

phaeton_pl
9th November 2009, 11:06 PM
Sorry for a mistake, i only did 3 BR's in my TT :)

I use the same method as you guys. In a loop I boost a bit later with nose up. Boost after the loop isn't advantageous as you loose too much time in the loop.

Hey, is it venom speed class? Video says flash...

yeldar2097
9th November 2009, 11:44 PM
Sorry, my mistake...will change it. Thanks for pointing it out phaeton :)

Rezatron
10th November 2009, 03:35 AM
My first lap with a boost BR I got 33.37 (10SP - 2BR - Goteki+). Only did 12 laps this time round. Gonna have a proper (marathon?) session later this week and won't stop playing until I kiss the apex out of the boost BR on the first corner. :+

amplificated
10th November 2009, 07:12 AM
Saw your post and realised I had to beat your time, Rezatron...

64 laps, only managed about 6 boost-BR's on the start line, 3 which went into the wall and the other 2 I somehow stuffed up by not BR'ing going into the loop (which never happened except for those 2 attempts), and every time I said I was going to give it a rest after this lap, I managed to do a damn boost-BR at the start line that made me keep going. And then I finally sort-of nailed the last one :P

33.16, 10 pads, 2 BR's, fury goteki

Could improve a little bit, but I think, unless you beat this time, I'm going to give it a rest for a bit :P

Dark_Phantom_89
10th November 2009, 10:03 AM

34.13 - 9 pads:( - 1br - fury

Gonna try now for that boost-br @ the start

11th November 2009, 03:00 AM
new time 0.32.94 10 speedpads 2brs and loads of sideshifts,
cant see me getting much more off this, maybe .20 at the most,
i found it easier wen i did a lap in icarus so had a decent ghost to follow, i can almost keep up with it too but gets away at boost.

Dark_Phantom_89
11th November 2009, 08:20 AM
Do you mean 33.94 brainbeat, or 32.94?

Brainbeat's pretty good, I'd imagine he meant 32. Which has made me want to beat 33 now. Currently on 33.07...

11th November 2009, 01:10 PM
thats no typo :) ill upload a pic if i dont improve

KGB
11th November 2009, 03:03 PM
Got 33.76 - 2 BR - 10 SP - Fury.

I think I can do better, we will see. Had a go at time trial in preparation for next week with same ship, speed and track managed to get somewhere near the top ten as it stands. Looking forward to the start of it, it can only improve my skills.

Dark_Phantom_89
11th November 2009, 05:14 PM
I can't do the boost BR - it's just impossible for me.

brainbeat - excellent time, just thought I'd check it because only a handful of pilots can beat yeldar ;)

brainbeat
11th November 2009, 11:09 PM
a tip for boostbr, imagine its a dolphin jumping out of water, pitch down then up and boost as soon as crafts nose is up, i get everytime now, i did struggle though untill i figured out the timing, Thanks rezatron for the tip didnt know was possible to force craft of flat track

Rezatron
12th November 2009, 02:27 AM
Did a quick run yesterday: 33.22 (10SP - 2BR - Goteki+), can improve, some bad lines on that one.

I better get my ass in gear, y'all haven't heard the last from me this week ;)

For some reason I find getting a good place in Speed Lap Venom much more difficult than Flash or Rapier. Perhaps more attempts have been put into Venom compared to the Flash and Rapier classes...

brainbeat
12th November 2009, 02:49 AM

You make the worst videos ever - didn't you submit that upside-down video for TDR(R)?

This one is getting 1.5 frames per second so you can't tell what you're doing, and you left about 30 seconds worth of video there that you didn't want anyone to see.

sorry to sound harsh, it's just funny

12th November 2009, 08:35 AM
@Brainbeat and the other pilots on this thread !
Hmmf, so this glitch is usefull at venom speed ! :(
I know that problem since month (and other top pilots too).
There's other glitches on this game, i know atm 7 races where it's advantageous !
I'll not give you the corrupted tracks (yes Sat i use "corrupted" intentionaly), i don't want some members or guys that comes on the forum could use them, like lot did with the anulpha zone glitch !!
I can name 2 : moa reverse and sol2 forward where it's obvious. An average pilot (no need to name him you just have to look at the official boards) beat with more than one second the sol2 experts like Pirahpac and Phaeton and that on all speedclass :eek, is he uberskilled ? :rolleyes:. This glitch as all the others (like moa r, like talon r...) is random, so NO SKILLS INVOLVED in it, and a BIG FRUSTRATION for pilots that loves sl/tt contests.
just look at this old thread i created one year ago and i hope you'll understand how using glitch can totally wipe the interest on the game :
http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5527
2 things annoys me on that :
First : a lot of people here where totally upset about the bsb, but not a word on glitches like the moa's one :rolleyes:
Second : Instead of trying to correct ONLY the bsb tricks (they fail it still works) i'd REALLY REALLY REALLY prefer SL corrected those issues of no respawn and no collisions at various places in the game.
SL did a great game with wohd, but it seems that we have a beta version of it. I suppose sony oblige their studio to release the game at a precise date without time to fix all the still remaining bugs. I prefer believing that, but who may be the responsible, it's a SHAME, really ! :(
Lot of people plays less online because of adds, but now if all glitches are used to play offline, i know several hardcore gamers that will simply stops playing wipeout hd !

KGB
12th November 2009, 08:46 AM
True leungbok, I looked at this before and wasn't happy with it, it's not a new shortcut it's a ugly looking glitch that's got no place in a speed lap challenge or in HD for that matter. Nothing personal against Brainbeat and he did well to find it, but the time can't stand IMHO. Sorry. Others may disagree.

leungbok
12th November 2009, 09:33 AM
About that, i already beat some WR with various glitches to see what the advantage could be ! But to be sure the time will not be recorded, you must quit the game WITHOUT FINISHING your speedlap session, you must press the ps button of the ds3 to quit the game. That way a new pb will not be saved and will never appears on the leaderboards. All my pb are clean with that method :)
I didn't have to erase my save anymore ;)

The lip BRs on Tech De Ra reverse were bad enough IMO, this takes it to a whole new level. I agree it most definitely goes against the spirit of the speed lap challenge and the game in general. Studio Liverpool needs to clean up all the walls in the game, this just shouldn't be possible in the first place.

Props on finding it though! :mr-t

Dark_Phantom_89
12th November 2009, 12:10 PM
Hmm, an interesting concept. Be honest brainbeat, did you use the glitch? I haven't seen the video and can't download it because it is now unavailable

brainbeat
12th November 2009, 12:23 PM
sorry i didnt think it would be deemed glitchy i thought it was more in the style of wipeout 2097, yeah i boosted into bump then boost in air, i apologize and wont do again,

Dark_Phantom_89

You haven't pissed me off too, don't care ;) I just prefer to prevent, before some guys with no concern about leaderboards could see and use those glitches ! I know that here most people are fair pilots ! :)

brainbeat
12th November 2009, 01:39 PM
i honestly thought it was intentionaly there by developers when i did it last night, my bro played wipeout 2097 and would cut a corner out by flying thru wall on talons reach, didnt know there was stuff like that on other track and for the record i only found out about bsb a month ago, only done it on vk but i think i now beat them by doing the technique yelda did,
Is the bump the glitch or the cut corner, because using bump u could bsb over start line that was how it started, is bsb a glitch then or just frowned upon?

amplificated
12th November 2009, 02:19 PM
The cut corner... plus bsb is something that's not really something that's supposed to be done in the first place

leungbok
12th November 2009, 03:06 PM
Is the bump the glitch or the cut corner ?

Both, there's an invisible structure on the left wall and normally we shouldn't pass across a wall ! = glitches
Bsb's not a glitch, maybe we can call it an exploit !

kaori
12th November 2009, 04:38 PM
No, I think it's not a glitch, it just an invisible structure.

Don't forget, the game takes place in 2206, invisible components will be common at these future times.

yeldar2097
12th November 2009, 07:57 PM
Yeah that time is a glitched time (hence I only declared my 33.04), was done by accident and I'm an idiot for not force-quitting the game :(
yeldar --> fail
I'll figure out a way to beat it properly...at least I hope I will :(

If not I'll contact SL and tell them to remove it. I'll send them come chocolate as an extra incentive.

SaturnReturn
12th November 2009, 08:03 PM
If you send me some chocolate then I'll give it a go myself. ;) No guarantees though.

leungbok

If you succeed in a 3rd Br at the last left turn (like on my phantom vid) it's possible to beat that time i think (hope).

I think i know where the spot is, i rightshifted instead of leftshifting to keep tight on last corner and lifted in the air to rhside of track, i made the noise and turned halfway round, gonna try it everytime now, on a side note i invested in a usb tv dongle with capture, got a scart splitter too so no more rubbish quality vids, good work phaeton

You should check out one of Yeldar's vids on youtube. I didn't realise boosting at the start was advantageous 'til I saw him do it, which gives you 2 BR's right there, and then he can do 2 at the end as well - just before the last speed pad and then another right on it.

But for boosting at the start to be a big help I think you need to nail all the BR's, and those last 2 are pretty hard; or at least I think so anyway. Even the first couple take some adjusting to.

Also, I only bitch about times where there are obvious mistakes I've made in the run or I have absolutely no idea how people like Yeldar have just gotten more than half a second better than my run! It happens less on speed classes that don't start with P at least :P

I'm the same position, I keep messing up the BR's!

AG-wolf
21st November 2009, 12:26 PM
I'm not messing up any of them, I can only find 4 to do D:
1) First track break after the sharp left turn in the tunnel
2) second dash plate on left side of undulating straight away between tunnels
3) second track break in second tunnel
4) where the track dips going up the hill after the last tunnel.

I use my boost in conjunction with BR 4 (actually slightly before it), an I could do a 5th in that mix, but that's only if I do the 4th and accidentally don't pull up high enough. I've done a 5th BR a couple times, but it resulted in slower times because of how i hung in the air.

Should I be boosting elsewhere?

SaturnReturn
21st November 2009, 12:54 PM
OBH started a social group for videos a little while back. He handed it over to me, at least for the time being, as he has no regular net access. There is a thread within it for top times and within that is a link to yeldar's vineta k video. Pirahpac did it first, as leungbok said.
http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/group.php?do=discuss&group=&discussionid=105

Leungbok - Maybe we can use that group to give credit to people who uploaded the videos and/or discovered the methods. It's something I've rarely known but no doubt is more commonly known amongst the French, as it's likely to be a Frenchmen. If pirahpac wants me to add his vids to that group then let me know.

23rd November 2009, 02:32 PM
What method did you use (and how many BRs ;))?
Just for reference my fastest TT lap ever on Vin K is 18.12 so I reckon Pirhapac's method is the way forward for both SL and TT :)

What's this week's challenge? :hyper

KGB
23rd November 2009, 03:03 PM
It starts tonight, I'm hoping it will be a nice one without too many BR's. Something like Moa reverse ;). These comps are definitely showing the massive difference in skill. It's good though, I hated Talons junction reverse as I just didn't 'get it' until I did the SL on it, since then I have taken about 4 seconds off my best Phantom time (hasn't updated). So it's not all bad. I'm prepared to take the savage beatings if it makes me faster.

Great track, I think there are three BRs there, of which I can do two. I'll have to learn to get that shortcut under that wing as I usually go over it. There's a very good clip of the Pacman doing this somewhere. I'll have a look. Found it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoKzuBjsMcY)

21.45, 7 sp's, 2 br's

I'm finding the boost-BR at before the start line to be pretty tough, but it looks like that's where I'm likely to gain the most time form this point on. Could see it's possible to get about .2 off .45 with better racing lines, but it'd be tough.

I'm not even sure if going under the wing and doing 2 br's is even that beneficial to the time, going over the wing and doing 2 br's is pretty damn close to a good straight boost br from what I can tell.

KGB
25th November 2009, 09:29 AM

26.76
7 speed pads
"only" 8 or 9 (I think 9) BRs
FEISAR+

With all these BRs my energy is constantly low, it's really distracting doing a run with the "death imminent" beeping constantly going on and off. :bomb I find myself skipping laps just to get my energy back up :dizzy

@ Rezatron - hold L1 to get new boost, absorb, repeat :D

@ Leungbok - those BR's on Moa rev are nice, i also tried different boost location showed on your old video here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zud_N-OsiW4), (at around 0:50) there is also one BR onto magstrip without boost,

@ yeldar - , "it was nice competition, but Yeldar came and took it!", you are evil :twisted :+

Maybe we should come up with some special rules next week: no BR's, no boost, cocpit view only, handicap for last week's winner? lol, just kidding

Great time and vid BTW :rock

nice :) didnt know the first 2 doubles, so is it better to boost where u did if u get all 3 at top of hill, 44brs just lol

well cheers 4 heads up i got 3rd place

@Phaeton: I never thought of absorbing my boost to regain energy in SL...good idea (even if it is sacrilege) :+
Sorry for being evil :P
Cockpit only?! Try cockpit only with 12BRs/lap :lol. I tried it earlier, nearly passed out :dizzy
I'll do cockpit only, it's so much fun ^_^

@brainbeat: How do you mean? Like doing more BRs before the boost or do you mean boosting where I did instead of boosting out of the tunnel?

@Rezatron: Play with SFX turned off ;) That's what I do (mainly because my parents like the music but hate the 'WHOOOSH' when I boost/BR :lol)

TBH I'm not quite sure how I managed to get 25.21, must have been a lucky lap. Even with 12BRs I can only get 26.xx which is some way off...

I think the place where you will either gain/lose a massive amount is the final hairpin going up the hill and how you land the 6th BR. I noticed in my video that after this corner my ghost was miles ahead of me. will have a look into it. :)

2nd December 2009, 02:06 PM
I found 1 more br last night but was lucky and havent tried again, boost same place but try and land on left lip nr speedpad where the track narrows before opening into tunnel,
i got an xtra br then with the br into sharpright tip i flew up the last bit very fast, shame i did it on a bad lap,
I reckon i would of been close yelda if i got the 6th br which i missed, is it possible to do every barrel roll on tt? Do u lose more health or the same on a bad br?:P

yeldar2097
2nd December 2009, 02:31 PM
Same for any BR, doesn't matter if it is successful or not - if you hear the weird noise before a BR, you will lose 15%.

I've done that BR before but the problem is, if you go into the tunnel too fast, it is very hard to get the 11BR because you have too much speed going into the 10th one.

In TT I tried to do 11BRs / lap (because you can't do the one at the start of each lap) but I only managed 11 on my first lap....my fastest lap :lol (If i remeber correctly it was 27.2x, just for reference)

brainbeat
2nd December 2009, 03:23 PM
cool my fastest just then was 27.27 in a tt lap but i ended up getting a 31 at last lap lol. i have been on for hr and hands tired already, been trying the tt only 4.5 secs away so far, im guessing im averaging 9 a lap though on the last 2 laps, but usaully can do 1 or 2 decent laps then i flake.

3rd December 2009, 08:01 AM
Could you not use your boost at the end of the first three laps for quick lap starts? On the last lap use it before the tunnel. I think you can double down the straight before the tunnel. Would this be any quicker or even more consistent at least?

brainbeat
3rd December 2009, 12:50 PM
i tried that m8 but i think lose too much time at that speed, it seemed to work on rapier, certainly easier to be consistent but i think u lose too much on 1st lap, i can get 27.6 at best or 29 boosting at end,

amplificated
3rd December 2009, 01:22 PM
you guys talking speed lap or time trial?

Anyway, I think Yeldar could turn those 12 br's into 13... I'm sucking at all of them so I don't know if it's faster, but anyway: if you approach it from the right angle from the corner just before the straight in the middle, you can do the 2 up there, and if you can tilt up a little from that second BR you can boost and get a 3rd, essentially making the string of BR's on sebenco last nearly the whole track, even though the break between them doesn't exactly last very long missing this BR.

I've been working on these br's and they're nuts... i can't do br2, 4 or 5 very well at all and its making me rage :(

3rd December 2009, 02:01 PM
27.81 - Fury, for me, it's so hit and miss for me as to whether I get the BRs. There's so many that I've overdosed on them to the point I'm missing the second one at the hump now which is/was impossible. :P

AG-wolf
3rd December 2009, 02:11 PM
I've noticed using a PS1 dual shock is much easier to do BRs than the PS3 controller; the D-pad doesn't have to rock as much to go left to right.. the only down side is Up and Down are less accurate, as you'll sometimes also press Left or Right like if you're trying to bring your nose down in mid-air.

brainbeat
3rd December 2009, 02:18 PM
yeah it can be hit n mess, if you manage to get a good line you dont need to ss for br 2 or 4 which then makes it easier to turn corners, ive tried to learn both lines so if i know im not fast enough to br without can change line, i have done over 250 laps though and have been close to crushing my joypad.
To amplificated, i understand wat your saying i think its similar to 1 i spotted but it means getting double br at hill is harder due to speed, im gonna try and see

Dark_Phantom_89
3rd December 2009, 03:19 PM
I'm finding BR #3 and #4 particularly difficult (ones at the first right hander of the course.) I can't seem to get my speed and angle correct.

yeldar2097
3rd December 2009, 06:01 PM
The key to 3/4 is the right SS on the pad and being way over to the right as you pitch up...i think that's right...:paperbag ??

@barny: Yeah I think boosting at the start could be faster if it was a perfect run. with the current method you can miss a few BRs and still be ok. defs faster on venom though...maybe...can't remember..erg...

:g

3rd December 2009, 10:25 PM
I tried last night the method boosting into lapstart and on 4th lap boosting in normal spot and managed to get 1.54 quite easy wasnt a perfect run but very good one though. i dont think better than 1.50 that way though, i was very close last night to breaking 1.49 i got
27.53
27.32
27.80
then on last lap i just totally screwed up, was feeling pretty sour after that, The first lap was a belter though

THe photo mode uses the same graphics camera engine as when you're racing I think, so it kinda skews scale and perspective... I dunno how to explain it.

Finally decided to get back to some SL..

After about a full session of failing BR attempts, I actually went for a shot and it didn't take me long to get 27.65. Could do a little better, did about 8-9 BR's. I'll try fit a few more attempts in soon.

One thing I really suck at though, is that double BR on the first hill - if I somehow do pull it off my lines go awry and it's not even beneficial, so I'm giving that a rest.

Quite a tricky one this week with all those barrel rolls to be had. Thanks to all who participated - it's good to see high ranking times going on the Wipeout leaderboards.

Next week I will be setting up some polls whereby you guys will be able to choose the criteria for the Christmas and New Year Challenges, so get your thinking caps on :)

The criteria for this week are as follows: SPEED LAP/CHENGHOU PROJECT (REVERSE)/VENOM/AURICOM

30.90 - 9(or 10) Pads - 4BRs - Auricom+

gah, i cant do 4 on venom, dont think i played on this track that much i only just noticed the train lol, never noticed it on forward track either.

32.05 10 speedpads 2 brs
best im gonna get on the normal route, turbo after 1st magstrip cutting corner


Is it like sebenco yelda to get the other 2 brs, good fast line and ss, im guessing you did one on right hander before 2nd magstrip and on hill final corner, i can make the noise :P

yeldar2097
7th December 2009, 11:37 PM
Nope, I boost just after 1st mag as well (not in TT though, hint-hint ;) ) but I'm not convinced it's the fastest way...

The 7BRs I would use in my ideal lap so far would be: 2 At the start (you have to kinda land on the left-hand lip for the 2nd), one with boostshortcutthingy, 4 going around the long right-hander. I can't do one after the hairpin but maybe someone else can?

Thusfas I've only managed 4 in one lap but I can do all 7 separately...not that it's of much help :lol

Only 1 BR but a 33.24 which wasn't too bad considering it's one of my least liked craft.

Meh at this low velocity all the ships feel the same to me more or less.

31.87 - 10SP - 2BR - Auricom+

My actual record is 21.79 in the Icarus. That time is only a few months old so i'm not improving much unless I pull some magic BRs outta my ass. :dizzy

8th December 2009, 06:48 AM
21!? ;)

Just got 31.72, Auricom Fury, 2 BR's, 10 sp's. Made a slight mistake at the end, ss'd too early and hit a wall, so other than that and perhaps some imperfect lines I could do better. Haven't played chenghou(R) in ages, surprised I could do this time in 19 laps

Oh and yeah. 7 BR's, Yeldar? What can I say - you never cease to amaze...

8th December 2009, 07:34 AM
I got some 31.9x last night with 2 BR's.
I do love BR's but using the lips is a bit too much for me. (I don't mind Yeldars shortcut from his last vid). It's just not the way i play speed lap or time trial.

Good luck to you guys in chasing yeldarbot:+

8th December 2009, 07:39 AM
Speaking of lip service, it's possible to hit the lip on the right hand side going into the tunnel and BR off that, managed it once so far. It would be easy for you SS/BR experts out there.

yeldar2097
8th December 2009, 07:53 AM
That's exactly how you get 4BRs going around that corner :+.
With a bit of practice 29.xx should be possible. Will try tonight if I can :)

I understand what you mean phaeton. Actually with only 2BRs (one at the start + turboBRshortcut) I managed 30.92 but then I started to experiment a bit with the lip in the tunnel, just for fun :g
