[Dark_Phantom_89]

A small report from Andy with some videos of our match. Transcribed from the PS3:

Dark Phantom's Choices:
(all non-weapons, phantom, br's)
Chengu Reverse, 5 laps
Metropia Reverse, 5 laps
Sol2 Forward, 5 laps

Andy's Choices:
(All weapons, phantom)
Sol2 Reverse, 5 laps
Moa Reverse, 10 laps
Modesto Forward, 15 laps

Have actually no idea why i choose these tracks, but it seemed to matter not.. 5-1 to DP89

Chengu rev, was chuffed when this one came up, little did i know that i would flake and miss 3 easy br's grr... otherwise the result was to be expected. 1-0

Metropia rev, well its always promising at the start when your half a second away but one missed br and the tinyest of nicks on barriers meant 2 seconds would be hard to catch up, so why not freestyle not enjoy weaponless races. 2-0

Sol2 fwd, i didnt really put a foot wrong here but some how DP89 got 1.42 something, nice.. 1.43.50 was what i getting in avalon TT practise. congrats. 3-0

Sol2 rev, finally some combat! eager to gain some points back here i was happy with the mid-race elimination =D good start... 3-1

http://www.wegame.com/watch/round3-d...l2-reverseavi/

With my camera beeping and turn off sadly no filiming of the last two races...

Moa rev, trying not to give up my position i was in the direct firing line for rocket, although i fired back DP89 turned the corner to avoid em, +3seconds down lol even with generous amounts of shileds turbos and bombs.. not one quake to turn it around. With a suitably fast time it clear to see why. 4-1 win.

We did modesto to finish it off, i was hoping for a 4-2 result but after some well timed weapons (see DP89's vids) its was scenic tour of modesto, even with br's before the hairpin and the turbo on drop, u disappeared man! 5-1

Many thanks for the races, i thought you would do well in the last avalon cup, so i expect you to do well!
Also a big high-five for kanar for creating this whole experience, you rock.

I'd also like to thank Andy once again for the great match and for making the vids. The mighty English Lions have some great members and it's a shame that two of them had to meet like this. But we'll be racing as a team once again soon I'm sure.

[anderkovver]

ok i am out speedkang96 was to good for me 5 -1 for him.... he said he post the results later thx canar and hole staff to make this awesome cup happend
speedkang96 thank you too for the races...damn your fast ...go get them good luck in the rest of the cup

[Constrictor]

THX AiiR for recording, editing and posting the vids. I thought that CP rev was close - don't think so any more. That was a controlled win on CP. Though, Moas double strike still hurts.

btw, Congrats to your son, too. He humiliated me/us yesterday both on weapons on and off races during some friendly races.

[AiiRW0LF]

Hi C4U, well CP was a great race for me
I still feel bad over that maneuver on Moa,but you know thats only good ol wipeout and nothing personal mate
Yes i belive my son is in good shape,and he still surprices me with his standard.
I mean the boy dosent practice nothing at all, sometimes he wants to race but it always
goes out the same way, he laughing and i ragequiting,lol

[Constrictor]

I know: We race, I die!

After watching the whole battle I know for sure what extra bit did it for you. Your DS controllers battery was nearly empty. So you had to be faster than me

[SpeedKAng96]

-:Report from the Hawks division-:

SpeedKAng96 vs anderkovver

--SpeedKAng's choices:

1st: Ubermall FW - phantom -5 laps - weps off --> SpeedKAng
2nd: Tech de ra FW - phantom - 5 laps - weps on --> SpeedKAng
3rd: Vineta K FW - phantom - 5 laps - weps on --> SpeedKAng

--anderkovver's choices:

1st: Sol 2 FW - rapier - 4 laps - weps on--> SpeedKAng
2nd: Ubermall FW - rapier - 4 laps - weps on--> SpeedKAng
3rd: Vineta K RW - rapier - 4 laps - No BR's--> anderkovver

You can check out the races on Youtube

Final results: 5 - 1

At phantom speed it felt like I had full controll, a funny thing happened at Tech de ra on 2nd lap, when a quake hit me in the brigde section. It almost swooped me off the brigde but I saved myself last second with sideshift.

The rapier races were more tight and I know that anderkovver is a good rapier pilot, but I managed to win 2 of his choices.

Thanks for the good races and for the time in the chatroom. It was a blast, hope we'll meet on the track again soon

[Jav]

That's really good racing, wp!

[Tiduch]

Anyone knows what happens with Miizu3 and DrMannevond in owl Division?
I dont like "fastpath" win ;/

[triboy]

They don't answering, dr was online couple days ago. I'll check it later (one more time...).

Kaori714 is in semifinals, Danterich withdraw from the Cup.

I still can't play with DialgiX, time difference issues bla bla bla.

[DjM1zw1z]

Im Back
Ive had lack of communication because my ps3 wont work right so my messaging system was down and the suspension here really did put things in a pickle. Ill try do something ASAP.

[kanar]

hey there Djm, no worries. Just try to play your round asap as you said, tbh you're motivated as far as I can see; that's the most important to me. I'll update the stuffs here asap guys;

just a few words about the cup as I'm busy like hell atm. Way too many withdrawals & quitters to my point of view. Hopefully it's not spoiling the show, whaaat a set of alien's vids so far! So once again my friends, thank you so much for your involvement in this story. Your logs, your vids are really precious, & don't forget, it's for the record. No matter the withdrawals, we could definitely say the winner is the best HD pilot in the world. A final word 'bout that, btw. Thank you so much on a personal note; you just gave me back the taste of HD once again. Just came back to my beloved speed lap mode yesterday. Definitely can't move on lol.

[Oryx Crake]

Yay! kanar is back! (even if just a little) the boards should be updated now and I'd like to make a bit of an announcement. be watching the site in the coming weeks for something interesting!

[SaturnReturn]

My PS3 just died (when I was very close to a PB on Vineta K Rev I might add) and so I'm not sure about my participation. I will see about getting it fixed but might not be able to do anything until the weekend. Will keep folks posted. Obviously, I want to continue so will do by best.

[amplificated]

wow, what's with so many people losing their ps3's? :/

[Jav]

Ye well they only last about 2 years. -.-

[amplificated]

I got mine in 2007 and haven't had anything like that happen to it -_-

I even leave it on for stupid amounts of time. In HD it says I have like over 40 hours viewing stats, 'cause once I sorta left it running on the stats screen for nearly 2 days...

[Aeroracer]

the amont of ps3's that have died here is a joke.i thought sony were hi quality company.
its not like they are cheap either.my ps3 crashes and freezes and its been reformatted and its got nothing on its hard drive it its so slow.....

hope you dont have to pay too much to fix it saturn..

[yeldar2097]

I'm telling you right now, it's a conspiracy against TFD
