Anyone Race Flash?

[Firedshot]

I see alot of posts but can never figure out who race's what. I race Flash mostly and was wondering if anyone else does and if they want a race?

[Darkdrium777]

Hmm most people here race Phantom. Personally I don't know anyone who races only Flash. We all could of course, it's just that, well... It isn't really fast enough lol. Sorry man
Although something can always be arranged sometimes, we will race you if you set up a meeting of course

[Danterich]

Sometimes I do some "Flashbacks" for shiptests and collecting points, or just to race in times when no Phantom or Rapier room is filling. See you on tracks!

[yeldar2097]

i'm a phantom racer but if i ever see you hosting i'll give you a quick racie. see you there!

Hiya Firedshot - get fed up with the other site too :-)

Did I follow you or did you follow me lol.
Good to see you.

[Firedshot]

i followed you bud lol

[Firedshot]

I've spoken to some of the top flash racers and they like the site but wont register because everyone's phantom. Which i know is not anyone's problem but thought it could be worth a mention.
I admit the reason i don't play phantom is because i started on flash and i like it so never moved up and i know some of the other guys are the same.

That's not really true, quite a few of the other newer members are racing rapier.

I mean if you had the guys that have played this game for years, on mass all jump in and played Flash or Venom....well I think the United Nations might try to put a stop to it foreseeing a massacre of the new players.

You have to bite the bullet eventually and race in the faster speeds,it's not that hard really,but it does take time,and your not going to get better if you stay racing in the same class.

And it not like people at this forum are big bad bullies that are going to payout on new racers,quite the reverse,we have all been there and done it as well,there has seldom if ever been any petty nastiness at this forum [I can't remember any]regarding peoples skill level,or any other topic for that matter.

Nearly every post at this forum is to talk about how to get the most out of the game,the information you read is just as relevant for the slower speeds in the majority of cases.

I think one of KAORI's Speed Lap challenges at Flash speed might be in order.
What do you guys think?

I'd be really interested in doing some rapier races, but flash mostly feels like racing in slow motion.. Funny i remember well the first few days i was playing WO HD, trying out flash and thinking woooaahhh this is fast ;-)

welcome to the forum though!

[chboing]

yeah ! come on FiredShot, play phantom !!
you cant imagine how pleasant the "perfect lap" voice sound in phantom

cu soon mate !

exactly. What a feeling with the music, the speed... Rare moment of perfection. It's like an awesome reward, after hours of practice... I love this woman. Especially when she adds "new lap record" too!

I mostly race rapier atm but I do occasionally race flash if I see someone I know hosting. I'll soon be hitting the phantom races in elite campaign though, so I expect I'll move out of rapier when I have gotten my phantom groove on.

I'm sure if you set aside an evening/weekend for flash racing and announced it here, people would come join you though. I'd be happy to, if I'm free.

When i said i like to race flash i ment i still race venom and rapier. I've also been doing speed laps on phatom as practice. My point some people don't like it. As for flash i'm aiming for a top 10 time on every track and there's 2 global records i'm sure i can beat lol i already hold 1 record and i'm top 10 in 4 others.

[crawdad62]

I race them all. There's just not enough people on when I'm on to be picky. I tend to play Rapier if I have a choice but I'll play Venom or Phantom if that's all there is at any given time.

I'm not worth a regardless of the class though so if you see me online you can work on your Assassin trophy

classic. don't worry, i reckon even if i had unlimited plasmas and someone in an icarus gion critical i don't think i could eliminate them. i just don't have that killer instinct, neither do i have the capacity to aim

Hi Fireshot I also race Flash. Unfortunately for us, most players prefer Phantom ... sometimes I host a tournament, and after 2 or 3 races, people start leaving because they find it too slow, it's very discouraging

[chboing]

superpj1, go in the arena section, give a name to your tournament, tell us a date and a GMT time , and you'll be full for sure, i'll be the first one to try beeing available

The vast majority plays at Venom and Flash. It's pretty annoying that only
a few random server offers Phantom speed. My problem is that I suck at
sub-Phantom speed. Sometime I wanna crab my coffee but I get somehow
reminded that I'm actually in a race. xD Anyone? I get the feeling that one
can never go back once playing at Phantom speed and beyond. Oh dear!

[Mr Phlanj]

When I'm at my mate steve's house (moosemanmike) we do like to do some venom/flash SL
(if theres no phantom games) because you can realy appreciate just how much u have to nail
it to get a decent time. and there are alot of sneaky BR in lower speeds; like in matropia forwards
after the mag strip, sideshifting right dureing the felthander onto the speed bad gives you air for a
BR and all of a sudden "OMG DID U SEE THAT!!". steve ended up with a top 20 time i think.
