    I didn't think sideshift would be as useful in Detonator, seems I'm right.

    Talons Junction Rev is annoying me - I set my record (which is about 500 points off 1st) when I wasn't doing any chaining at all, just spray and pray, and the closest I've come to beating it now is 3000 off, albeit missing 4 bombs.

    It's a little annoying when I know I'm better at Detonator now, here's hoping tomorrow/later today brings more success. Must've been a pretty decent run for me to have got 700,000 odd points with low accuracy.

    EDIT: It's not by much, but I just beat the current WR by 2000 points, missing 4 bombs. Definitely more to come.

    EDIT 2: Just beat that by 60,000 - new score 761675, 13/14 bombs, 65.6% mines cleared.

    How did you run C12? It is still the only track I can not get a solid record run on. Right now I alternate sides every lap, but I've never found it that great.

    Also, GL on the Pro Tozo. That is to date my best score and I cannot for the life of me replicate it somehow. If you beat it I will have to figure it out lol.

    Yes I did alternate sites every round... I think that's the best way for solid records

    2000 points to go on pro tozo... damn it's challenging
    btw nice record.

    lol well you can keep them. Sad to say but I'm done with wipeout for a long while, I'm done with my PS3 in general for a while. Sony has turned me off and I don't have nearly as much fun as my PC.

    Mind if I ask why you've been turned off as of late?

    I'm starting to get more serious about Detanator, so I'm going to be gunning for you guys-

    Shoqa: congratulations for having the 28 records!
    Too bad some of the best players (RedScar) are not willing to play more ...
    Are you planning to play any other mode, like Zone maybe?

    No, he doesn't
    I was thinking the same way while practicing ZONE on Moa for about a month, I've beaten him, he's beaten me a while later with no problem ;p

    He's the ZONE ZEUS and I'm his first follower xD

    I'm willing to play, just hella busy with school. My PS3 has been relegated to a paper weight right now.

    Well considering that tomorrow is my last final for the Fall semester of 2009 . I plan on reclaiming some of (if not all ) of my records in detonator. I know with the scores you've put out shoqa that it won't be easy, but I know the local convenience store has 2 2L cokes on sale (probably the deal that shortens my lifespan) and some awesome tunes to listen to.

    That's what he is waiting for. I think you will face a tough competition when
    beating his records. Good luck. /liquidsvoice (MGS4)

    There doesn't seem to be a lot of love for Detonator mode out there. Maybe its because its quite different from traditional Wipeout? Its become my favourite mode anyway.

    There's a great guide to detonator on page 10 of this thread by Darkdrium777 - well worth a read.

    One of the reasons I like it is that there's quite a few different strategies to playing it. On the leaderboards, I've always destroyed between 10 and 20% fewer mines than those on the same score as me. There's usually someone on the same score who's destroyed 30% more mines than me. I've obviously got a different strategy to them - not sure if I'm missing a tactic. I'm certainly missing something compared to people like Itosiki on the Wipeout Rankings site. He's got some incredible scores.

    I like Detonator mode, but sometimes the advance warning for bombs is too short. This game mode takes a lot of strategy beyond simply spamming the fire button.
