As this thread is getting slightly popular,I'd like to ask you guys to check out the Queen Bee Mode thread,see if you like and message me if your in
I'm know Piraphic has a heap saved as video uploaded to YouTube, but have only been viewable by invite only, I haven't seen him playing HD/FURY in a very long time.
The thing is, he & Leungbok were the two most actively involved in finding a lot of the obscure BR points.[I could spot possible places as well as them, and I'd mention them to them, sure enough they could pull them off, but rarely if ever actually perform them myself]
I was in conversation with all the elite pilots at one stage for the purpose of making a "Wipeout HD/FURY Master BR/Shortcut video"....to cut a long story short it just became too big.
Mainly because people wanted credit [rightly so in my opinion] for finding the more obscure BR positions, and for that to be made evident in the final video.
Problem was/is, how to you give credit when there is no proof, and then have the problem of somebody challenging the info in the video[s]
Well, going by the HD/FURY VIDEO thread and the various comps that have been run over the last 3 years, there has been posted both at the Wipeoutzone & Wipeout Arena there were around 20-25 different people that found the most well known BR positions & short cuts.
Suggest you CAREFULLY watch ALL the videos in the Video thread, you will see, in many cases the first time ever on video, a lot of BR positions and the date they were first found.
I know of two that are not well known [I've seldom seen anybody actually do them online] that are in that thread in the first 30 pages.
One is by Xtriko on Chenghou reverse. ;) on the bend just after the first mag strip, {useful if you haven't picked up a turbo beforehand and taken the shortcut boost]
Second - Check for all the videos by XBARSTERX, I can't remember which track it's from [FURY tracks most likely] but I have never seen anybody do it at this position before or since.
I haven't seen much people actually doing this barrel roll on online games,whether high or low level players,but here it goes:
Chengou Project FWD,Any Class (on higher classes it gets way harder,but still doable)
After that ~build robots~ thing there will be a turn to the right,try to make it as close to the wall as possible,then side-shift left,it should give you enough air to Barrel Roll
If you didn`t understand,i will try and make a video of it soon enough :)
Well for an example.
Who FIRST found the 2 extra BR's down the finishing straight of Vinitea K forward?
Wotan/Assayeah/Pira or Yourself ?, there is a 5th candidate, but really it's a lottery.
I love all you guys, and don't want to offend anybody, so I can't make the call.
Then again I doubt any of the 4 of you would say either of you were the first, it was sort of a mutual finding.8)
EDIT: Actually, once I searched back through the video thread, I found it wasn't any of you that found it first, if video posting first of the deed is the criterion LOL
A long forgotten UK pilot [ Long time MIA but Urged back for a brief appearance for the HD CUP, [HINT: They were a FEISER pilot exclusively]
Double post..opps
It's possible to change the words "discoverer of" by "first to show" a BR or tricks ;)
And in case of doubt on a particular one, we can discuss to decide who must be credited, i think about the boost/BR shortcut on moa forward pirahpac told me and that i filmed first (in that case, it's possible to say "filmed by leungbok after a pirahpac's idea").
In fact that BR isn't very advantageous at phantom speed compared to a tight cornering, so there's not a lot of videos with that one on youtube.
However, i showed it on that very old video ;) : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MApEiE7g3Mk
