I did a 122 on Syncopia yesterday but not yet updated too
I just got 106 (122?! nice going kingheim)
Seems like the leaderboard doesn't update for over two days now. Perhaps
they fix the glitched Anulpha Pass scores. Who knows....
Good going, kingheim. Nothing less than I have expected.
@Phantron: Yeah will add some small details up next.
Perhaps.
Just had some Phenominal Sessions with DJKyoto and Natade-coco They are both VERY deadly on the Zone battle track!
Great racing guys!
I was just about to zone boost to 50 on CP Rev, but you just pipped me to it.
Vars is a pretty deadly Zone Battle Pilot.
Also my controller with its sticky analogue stick is causing me headaches in trying to bust past zone 105 on Syncopia. Blah.
Haha Yeah I was terrified you had a +8 Since you were at 42.5 or something, You had me on my toes all round Kyoto, and dont worry im still stuck at 108 for my Syncopia. I should get back to trying it again
ProblemSolver, I just read this guide and it's fantastic, I think I'm already much
better at Zone Battle just after reading it! Awesome facts and advice
Haha I did 2 online ZB and lost them, but now I realize I made several mistakes
such as using a shield when I had more than 40 hp, etc...
But one thing, the Barrel Roll still depletes Vital energy, right?
tkx a lot man!
BRs cost 15 vital energy, as usual.
Who here agrees that Sub-Phantom is the best speed class? Colours are great for concentration, not so slow that it'll blow your brains out with boredom, and not too fast that it'll make you start pinballing. And P.S. I was wondering, at what Zone does not having 100% health become legal? I usually enter Subsonic with 92% on Moa.
@CJS: I have to agree on the Sub-Phantom thing. It's quite a pleasing speed
to cruise 'n chill.
As long as you can do BRs in a safe way it's kinda of a crime to have 100%
vital energy. xD I usually level it down on tracks where one can do BRs, and
later on level it up to go without BRs from there on. Having 100% at certain
stages is a good indicator for how long your run may last. For example, on
Anulpha Pass it's quite pleasing to have about 100% on zone 115. But anyways,
that's not the key. The key is whether you can profit from doing a perfect lap
when it becomes really difficult. Why? Well, on very high zones, depending on
the track, one cannot any longer judge whether he did a perfect zone or not,
because 'looking' at the HUD can mess up the entire run. But there is one
thing that really helps, it's the voice saying; perfect lap. Once you hear
that voice you know that if you now run without any scratch around the track
for a couple of seconds your vital energy fills up rather quickly. Within
these seconds one has to be rather strong to not touch the walls. It may allow
you to go 5 or even 10 zones farther in the end. One perfect lap with a few
perfect zones thereafter can make up for a huge difference. It's a pure
psychological thing....
Ohmigd. Pure said it had an "alien space-bike passed through a worm hole graffiti flavour to it". I say that it has a "the ONLY GDDAMN THING I'VE EVER GOTTEN ZONE 75 ON GRAFFITI FLAVOUR TO IT"!!! Props Syncopia! I love you! (Although Supersonic wasn't black, it was gold O_o) Zone Zeus is MINE!
Edit: In my opinion, I think that they should have a new speed class come in at Zone 100, called Terminal Velocity... that would be cool. Everything would be completely black, all you would see are white outlines...

OMG I broke my PS3 by playing ZONE! I was on a run to set another record on the
table as my PS3 was going to freeze! Damnit!
Suddently the screen freezed and after about 2 seconds therafter my PS3 turned off.
I quickly realized that the RSX isn't fully working anymore, so I started my PS3 up
again and quickly changed the bootflag over to OtherOS, because the OtherOS, i.e.
PS3Linux, can't use the RSX' main functionallity since the PS3s Hypervisor prevents
it from doing so. As a result, my PS3Linux was fully functional such that I could do a
final backup of my entire system. I then switched the bootflag back to GameOS by
realizing at the same time that I will never come back to see Linux again on my PS3.
The GameOS was coming up once again for about 30 seconds after my PS3 turned off
forever.
My PS3 got the infamous YLOD (Yellow Light of Death), which can have various
issues. But since the Cell processor was working for over an hour, the issue must be
related to the RSX processor. Almost all 60GB-PS3 models do suffer from a heating
problem were either the Cell or the RSX can loses contact to the motherboard due to
a melting issue. This problem is quite well known and can be fixed with a bit of luck.
Some guys on YT show how to do it, but I'm not considering doing it.
In the past I always noticed that the fan was coming up rather fast playing WEHD.
And with the advent of Fury I thing that the RSX is at it's limits, radiating maximum
heat as a result. So playing ZONE for hours and hours may have put a good burden
onto my system over time. For me it was only a question of time when my PS3 is
going to break.
Sh!t happens. Anyways, I'll be back quite soon!
btw; I've beaten D.A.R.Y.L.. xD
Ouch, that sucks.
EDIT:
Well I just did Zone 81 on Syncopia.
Opened a message TehRedScar sent me while the result screen popped up in the background.
No controller or keyboard input worked. I couldn't reply to him or leave the message screen. I had to shut off the PS3 before it saved my Zone 81.

Sorry for your PS3 ProblemSolver
Zone leaderboards update this evening, nothing change for the broken Anulpha Pass.
But finally my 134/102 on Syncopia appears
the gauntlet has been thrown

Didnt PS get a 134/102 also?
Yes same zone as PS, but I was lucky enough to have more points so first on leaderboards by now
Well, I know it's just the time PS repair his PS3 lol
Wow, congrats Kingheim.
Looks like ProblemSolver has a few more Problems to solve now
I'll try for 110 first. I need to find a better line at the start / stop accidently BR'ing.
@Kingheim: Same amount of zones? I lol'd. xD Good work, man! This should
lead us straight to zone 140+.
I've already a new PS3 in place, but I have to bring up my Linux at first. Only
a few days left until I'm back....
