Syncopia I would Reckon.

[yeldar2097]

indeed young vartazian. younger than me at least...

Seems like a pretty decent goal for now. Might help with my zoning on other tracks too

looking forward to it IH8YOU GOGOGOGOGO!

[IH8YOU]

Younger than you Yeldar? Is he a fetus or something? I knew the PS3 controllers were wireless.... but wow! Waterproof too? Sweet.

[AppleJack]

My current best is Zone 64 on Anulpha forward. It's not much I know. 75 for Zone Zeus seems a long ways off for me. Guess I need to practice more.

[XBARNSTERX]

Wont take you much longer now mate, keep at it

[yeldar2097]

Zone 100...Clear

BEST...FEELING...EVER

[XBARNSTERX]

Nice one

[yeldar2097]

I literally shat myself with glee
had some hot chocolate and a cig to celebrate

[ProblemSolver]

Congrats, yeldar! But unfortunately, your score won't updated anytime soon
on Syncopia.

I've set a 62 on Modesto. But even better, I've dressed Sebenco Climb in black!
Sebenco is now 'Mach 1 clear'. Did a 62 there as well, but missed two perfect
laps for rank 1.

[yeldar2097]

I know...Still says my record is 73 zones oh well... I took a picture

PS =

great stuff

[ProblemSolver]

Call me nuts but I do now believe that the ZONE crafts of each team behave
slightly differently. It's not a big difference but still noticable to me.

[Darkdrium777]

You're nuts (For plenty of reasons, two of those would happen to be a number bigger than 100). There I said it.

Carry on.

[yeldar2097]

My guess is that it's to do with the way the ships look

/innocent n00bage

You're still nuts

[Kaede]

ggs with you tonight, problemsolver ! A pity it was capped at 30, I tried to contact the game host (ask him to raise it) but I couldn't manage to "type" fast enough (see below). Also, I tried to add you to my friendlist but an error message said you had too much people on your friendlist already, ahah

Later I did filtered search and it appears very very few people play zone battle, that's a pity.
If some of you people would like to play it online, maybe you could add me to your friendlist so that we could "organize" some online runs ? Thanks

edit : I know this one is competely off-topic but it's driving me nuts. The completion system, when typing messages on the pad (with that virtual keyboard), sometimes do serious cr** for me and when I ask for a space, it just delete the last word. If anyone knows how to avoid that (use PMs, please, this is off topic), that would be sweet.

At last I've got to hear the "Zone 100...Clear" for myself. I think I got to Zone 102, but I didn't really care as long as I got over 100. Think I'm 14th according to the Global Rankings website

[jed_tb]

i know its all down to practice but there must be some tips peps use to get to the 100s.

i get as far as zen and then it all seems to go horribly wrong, i end up doing the pinball effect or simply judging corners to early and scrapping the sides. lol

[QjonPL]

I played half of the holidays and I've reached Zone 83 on Moa (phew...)
PS - I'm gonna get you

But I can't update my other best scores (110 on Anulpha with over 360k points and 117 on Synco) - is there a bug or my console/connection is f@cked up? ;/

And one more thing - why there's no one playing Zone Battle online?

[ProblemSolver]

@Kaede: My friend list is more than full, it's quite difficult to delete someone.

@Jguesty94: On which track? xD

@jed_tb: If you're pinballing in the Zen stage then this shows that you aren't
in full control of your inputs just yet. Before talking about some specialities
learn one of the basics; getting used to the controls.

@QjonPL: Good one. So you wanna get me on Moa? Hmmm ... interesting. Did
you know that my record was set prior to v2.0. But anyways, keep going! I
wanna have a good reason to zone on Moa again.
Well, there are a bunch of reasons why there isn't much Online Zone Battle
going on, which I will write about later on.

[ProblemSolver]

Wotan did a good job lately on the Pure4 tracks, he essentially kicked me
from Pro Tozo and Syncopia with a 107/83 and a 148/117, respectively.

However, I'm never going to accept any defeat on Syncopia. The one
who will beat me there should prepare himself to ride into zone 160+. But I
encourage everyone to go as high as possible on Syncopia, since this track
really blows the hell out of you.

After a warm-up session on Pro Tozo, setting a 110 which is a new zone record
by itself, I switched over to Syncopia to nail my 150 into stones by setting a
151/122, which is now the new record.


Edit: Arrgh, did you know that I've killed my personal best of 62 zones on
Sebenco? But got in return rank 1 with only 60 zones. I take it!

[Jguesty94]

On Syncopia... Not sure about trying it on any other tracks, there are a fair few other games coming out soon so I probably won't have much time.
