    Exclamation New ZICO Challenge

    call me insane or even pervert, but i have an idea of a new challenge. beat ZICO (30.82) with ur first lap! free choice of ship. that means: u have to start after 3,2,1,GO; no BSB-BR into lap; no boost-BR into lap; no boost into lap; no nothing into lap! ghost is required to proof ur lap to be legal! my best so far is 31.45 with ICARAS. little problem here, i don't know where to upload the ghosts.

    Surely impossible?

    eLhabib's WipEout HD ghost website is the best place to upload your ghosts, click here for the thread.

    This challenge does sound impossible. If you can't do it Jan being the current record holder, or at least the last time I checked, it will be very difficult. I might give it a shot but I won't be expecting any good results, my best with barrel rolls is 30.72!

    wow, some fast replies here. it's a definitive possible challenge, otherwise i wouldn't have posted it here. it's still possible to do 5 BRs (6or7 with extreme luck) in the attempt to beat ZICO in the first lap. the 1 who will achieve this, can call herself/himself the true master, a real Z1CO!

    But surely those additional BRs would be in such quick succession that they wouldn't count for much?

    I'm pretty sure the boost over the start line is essential. But then, I'm not an Anulpha specialist...

    @ Plazarou: the boost (and all variations of it) into lap makes it alot easier to get the ZICO-trophy, but it's not essential. i did my 31.45 first lap in TT-mode, followed by 2 ZICO-laps (30.4-5). that means i passed the start/finish-line with maxspeed of 460+Xkm/h. but u r right, it's a superhard challenge, and that's exactly the reason why i posted it here, cause the best WHD-pilots of the world come together in this forum. so i think here is the right place to announce it

    Zico is completely unstoppable and impossible to beat. My time is 30.97 and is nowhere as close to beating Zico. Not even my Piranha Fury can beat the impossible-to-beat Zico, so I might as well submit defeat .

    i felt the same for about 2 weeks. ~50laps per day without any improvement. watch some more moveis about it, try improve your racing line and you"ll get there eventually!
    dont give up

    I did. I watched countless YouTube videos about beating Zico. I tried matching their techniques, but it did'nt helped me beating Zico. That last turn on anulpha Pass is luck-based, whether you land a Barrel Roll or not; that's what gets me intimidated.

    ZICO is a hard trophy to get for a begginer, so is Zone Zeus.
    You must love Wipeout to get them as they require hours/days of training.

    Back in april it took me well over 500 laps (also a lot of pain and tears) to get 30.81. 3 months later I was able to get under 29 seconds.

    Leave this trophy for a week or month and just race, your lines and skills will improve and Zico won't be a problem any more...


    JFthebestJAN - you are sick Please give another track a chance
    Or i will give you a new ZICO challenge - PHANTOM 19.xx
    Great, you pushed that to the limit! Congrats!
