That happened to me on Anulpha the once. Think it was someone on here who shot me with rockets (possibly Ih8U) but I still managed to cross the line in 1st place.
Notihing worse than getting shot just before the line though and ending up in 7th or 8th place which has also happened to me (and more than once :rolleyes:)

Never leave anything in the tank when you cross the line ;)
-
There is worse: a PS3 freeze just as you're about to cross the line and win

Well it's good to know, i was just curious.
i like Vartazian's thought, (which i always practice anyway).

Its actually kind of fun Ive done this countless times (the 6 or 7 when I get eliminated by another are awesome too) but If I know Im gonna win the race and got like 2 Shield left I love slamming into the wall and letting my craft "Explode" across the finish line.
Im suprised AG Systems hasnt booted me off their team yet :cold

Since the patch, I can safely say I had no problems whatsoever with racing online. That is... until today.
People were jumping ahead of me for no apparent reason, stopping, falling behind, over and over again; I got freezes when someone left, enetered or used a boost; weapon pads wouldn't respond unless you stopped directly over their centre for approximately 6.3 seconds* and I experienced many, many strange bomb detonations.
And then I won one. Ubermall, rapier, which is strange because I suck at Ubermall and generally stick to flash online. When I joined it was flash Metropia. This cheered me up a bit and I decided to plough through the potentially tedious races for the next win.
It came, Flash Anulpha Pass. After many 3rds and 4ths, I was literally leaving them in the dust. It was good.
Then they started dropping like flies, leaving the game until I couldn't see myself in the middle of the podium, nor my inevitable 'Successful Pacifist' badge, only 'You are the last remaining player'. You know something's wrong when a game tells you to quit.
It hurt. Am I merely beginning to outgrow my fellow Flash flyers? I don't think so, as I struggle on the harder courses and every first place is usually proceeded by several 3rds. Was I unlucky to stumble upon a room of sore losers, or were they right to deny me my desired 1st place?
*This may or may not be true
EDIT: Online is MUCH less problematic at midnight.

Well since the patch i had my first 1st place tie in a tourney. I congratulated my fellow racer (1 on 1 tourney-Icaras & Assegai)...but i guess he didnt take kindly to being tied since he abruptly left and never responded...
It's rare (for me) to find good pilots that are sore loosers, especially when equally matched. That's one aspect of wipeout i really like, overall repectfull and humble pilots.

Hello DividedXZero, how are you? (Tell me when you want to play)
I remember like the day after the patch, I did an 8 player tourney and I won ...
along with 2 other pilots!! Was incredible having 3 players tied, at least the game is well
made and it shows them all as #1.

a true phantom pilot
Hold back your citicism, this topic isn't about me :P
Any of you noticed that Harimau blue livery's pilot is a white ghost? :bat Or am I just tripping?
EDIT: I realize this doesn't require a thread of its own, can it be moved to http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5273? Sorry about that!
