The Wipeout HD Cup

[Oryx Crake]

@jasmin well these things were bound to happen and there are more matches like that, but I am actually just slightly more excited to see new talents show themselves in this tournament

[leungbok]

Thanks my friend, this game was epic !
After one online race like warm up, I joined xtriko who has hosted all the race in a tournament : phantom class and weapons on

Any chance to see a video ?

yeldar2097 VS Kundox1

yeldar2097:
Phantom - Weapons On - 5 Laps - Chenghou Project --> yeldar2097
First race of the tournament. As soon as the race started I noticed a huge amount of input lag, really hard to maintain lines throughout the race, felt awful.
Thankfully I got VERY lucky with boosts (6 or 7 I think) so even though I faceplanted the pillar at the final jump I came out on top.
Phantom - Weapons On - 5 Laps - Sebenco Climb --> yeldar2097
Again, I very messy race, crashing into everything, missing BRs, not pretty. Very lucky with boosts this race as well.
Phantom - Weapons On - 5 Laps - Chenghou Project Reverse --> yeldar2097
Lots more boosts again. Felt a bit bad because I think I got at least 4 turbos in every race so far

Kundox1:
Phantom - Weapons On - 5 Laps - Anulpha Pass --> yeldar2097
Much better, no more input lag ^_^
Phantom - Weapons On - 5 Laps - Moa Therma --> yeldar2097
Got some nice boosts here. Kundox was right behind me until I squeezed a shortcutBR to get a small lead. After that, boosts everywhere.
Phantom - Weapons On - 5 Laps - Anulpha Pass Reverse --> Kundox1
Got absolutely crushed in this race, I don't know what was going on. I took an early lead, then I got a missile up my chuff.
For some reason I used a boost BEFORE getting hit, go I wasted my recovery.
Kundox elim'd me with some cheeky mines, and after that it was all downhill. Boom ^_^

yeldar2097 5 - 1 Kundox1

I was a bit nervous and suffering from massive input lag (you'll see in the videos lol) but thankfully I was ok.
Big thanks to Kundox1 for racing, had a lovely chat with him on PSN in a chatbox after our races

Video's will be up soon. See you in the next round!

Videos now linked

Here is kundox1's video of Race 6, it's definitely worth watching, he gets very excited : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbC4woMWbfs

Thanks again for racing Mr. Kundox, good fun

[Temet]

LOL !
Depressed people should be prescribed a victory against Yeldar, it makes people so damn happy!

[OBH]

Real shame to see TCK drop out.
Those new to the zone would have had a real shock

Though on the plus side, where one legend drops out, Mad-Ice comes in

[yeldar2097]

He was in my Top 5 seeds as well. Hasn't been online in about a month, hope he's alright.

Good to have another pirate in the running though. Who's for an all TFD Semi-final?

[Mad-Ice]

Thanks guys for supporting me! You all know why I wasn't online for the last three months. My son is doing very well and growing stronger every day! I could do some new world records for PURE in the hospital but I need some training on HD again, because I am rusty as can be.

I will contact Xaedrek asap, I am on! Cheers guys and thumbs up to Kanar!

Greetz Mad-Ice

[JJPAP]

Great to hear Mad-I!
First of all: Your son is doing well
Secondly: You´re participating

[KGB]

It seems Narren from the Falcon group is MIA, Shellnewbie reported that he has twice not made an arranged race. I sent him a message but no reply, he hasn't been on line for 2 days so won't of seen it anyway.

Nothing much more to add.

[Olol]

so providing i manage to beat spaceboyg and win ive then got kanar... faaaantastic

[kanar]

lol mate, not me, kaori. I prob. won't pass the 1st round anyway, Tar-Elendil is really a great pilot, & he picked 2 ZB lol. I'm completely out of practice, so I'll do my best to not experience a sweep ... I'll update the boards in a few hours here. Jeez i completely let my board all alone, I must take care of my fellow vulture boyz eh eh.

[Amorbis]

Me and Someguy had our races today, the results are as follows:

Amorbis' races:
Modesto Reverse Reverse (Phantom): Amorbis
Moa Therma Reverse (Phantom): Amorbis
Tech De Ra Forward (Phantom): Someguy

Someguy's races:
Metropia Reverse (Rapier): Someguy
Chenghou Project Reverse (Rapier): Amorbis

Someguy showed that he is a quick racer, even on my own tracks! The races were quite close.

[R3BU5ER]

Ferald69 lost 7-0 from XBARNSTERX

[AnErare]

Hia guys!

Cup extra race:

Peh-Hok


Final score:

Peh-Hok 5 - AnErare 2


Really close no-weapons races, especially Moa with an incredible fight at the end! The weapons races were completely in Peh-Hoks favour, he blew my socks of and left me eating his dust trail lol.

Well done and well deserved Peh-Hok, again congrats!

I've recorded all races except Moa Therma.. I forgot to set the camera to video mode! Instead of recording, it took a photo of the starting grid lol. My nerves got the better hand here, as in some places in the races ;p
Video's will be uploaded over the weekend, so check http://www.youtube.com/AnErare come Monday! (not for the faint of heart, some silly mistakes imminent, please laugh

Peh-Hok, good luck with your next and hopefully coming races!


Cheers,

AnE
