Lets make a zone battle happen!

[AlisGelida]

Someone knows the global record in Anulpha pass? It is 89 or 92 Zones?

How about 137 zones

Haha sorry mate, had no idea who it was. If you're still using it I'll send you a request with either my Gaddafi or Erik-Ponti account.

Okay, I have to complain a little. Syncopia is my favorite track to zone on, but I also really enjoy Anulpha Pass reverse. So I had a great run going when I hit Supersonic. I've only hit it about 4 or 5 times before, but would crash out at maybe Zone 76. But this time I had a lot of ship energy left. But when Supersonic came and the colors switched, I started crashing into EVERYTHING because I COULD NOT SEE THE TRACK. Oh I hate that metallic black color scheme! It's worse than the Mach 1 colors when racing Syncopia. How do you guys manage to concentrate or find your way when the track and background blend into each other like that? ARGH!

But on the bright side, I did end up with my best zone run ever in terms of points and total zones.

Well I've broken one of my old score record of 349,131 on syncopia. My new score record on syncopia is 360,316.

Bro KronicReaper. Are you trying to get yourself banned?

[KronicReaper]

The answer is no friend, I just want to break my own zone records. That's all. Sorry for me acting dumb and stupid sometimes.

[Zzonkmiles]

Just made a new high score on Syncopia. 414,000+ on a 121/102 run, which is actually worse than my 413,000+ 123/102 run. I opened with 87 perfect zones before I finally hit a wall. My highest zone is 129 but I am getting better with perfect zones. My new goal is a 130/105 run with 430,000 points.

Yes I'm a newcomer that want to break the 400,000 point mark on syncopia, but I will never break this legend record. I will respect his record and I hope I never break it at all. But I don't know if I would or not.

Just had another great Syncopia run. I set a new personal record, in terms of points, zones cleared and perfect zones cleared. Final results: 129 zones, 103 perfect zones, 419,512 points. This run also included another "Perfect Zeus" in that I had all perfect zones until Zone 82. Even though this was an excellent run, I think it can be improved. That stupid left turn before the narrow section is the turn that always messes me up! Anyway, I got this run on video too, so I'll upload that to YouTube too.

Also, here's a screenshot of my top 5 scores. The cool thing about zone mode is that you can chart your progress easily. It's not the same as squeezing out one more barrel roll or shaving off another 0.5 seconds. There's just something thrilling about hitting a zone that you've never reached before, getting thrashed by it, and then mastering it. I remember when I was thrilled just to make it to Zone 75. And I remember when a "good" run for me was around 280,000. Wow, times have changed.

Quick question... I'm dismal at zone, so I have no idea of how some of the features work. What exactly does a barrel roll do for you in regular zone mode?

A barrel roll will give you 1200 points, according to Wipeout Central, though from what I see every time I do a barrel roll, it gives me 1000 points. There is also a hidden bonus that increases the value of the barrel roll by 200 for every successful consecutive barrel roll performed.

Also, here is the first part of my shot at the Mach is Back WZ Trophy:

[JFthebestJan]

@Light Buster & mannjon:
perfect lap = 2000 points
perfect zone = 1000 points
barrelroll = 1000 points
imperfect zone = 500 points
speed pad = 100 points
