Piloting tips for Wipeout Pure
The Official unofficial piloting guide to WOPure on the PSP!
Please post only your tips here, do not post questions or comments on this thread (tips will get so spread out it'll be hard to find them amongst the discussion).
There is a separate thread for discussion: http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6944
Hopefully, finding the tip in here and the separate discussion that spawned it will be easy. *crossed fingers*
Fastest lap in free play and tactics for TT!
I will start with 123Klan.
In every fastest lap start your speedboost in your previous lap, exactly on the second starting grid, for optimal speed in your fastest lap.
Obvious tip: hit every speedpad, but when possible sideshift on the speedpads when it's good for optimizing your racingline. Sideshifting on speedpads will give your ship extra speed.
Okay, when you are doing this then your racingline should be as close as possible to the inside of the track. Hit your turbo when you are almost at the top of the small jump in the opensection. This will give you just the right height to BarrelRoll, try to stay as low as possible. Cut the opensection all the way over to the next curve to the left. Sideshifting hard here is a must. Now the trick is coming, your racingline must be absolutely perfect to sideshift left on the last speedpad before the monkeyhill to gain enough speed and height to be able to BR and turn left in the tunnel and land between the speedpads and off to the finishline.
To get a really fast TT racing time you'll have to repeat this the amount of laps the speedclass is asking for. The reason why I am saying this is because not every track is having the same turbo location for fastest lap and race too. This will be made clear in other descriptions of tracks.
