    Smile How good do you think you are at Wipeout

    based on these levels i made up how good do you think you are


    1 Noob (You still dont know what all the weapon icons are)
    2 Novice(you know all the controls but cant see the point of side shift because you just cleared the HD campaign)
    3 Competant (you race ok but cant understand why elites are beating you by 20+ seconds a race)
    4 Skilled (you are starting to learn the secrets of the experts, side shift shortcuts and BR's
    5 Highly skilled (you got transendance and your putting minor pressure on some elite players)
    6 Dangerous (Elite have trouble with you.you win a few games and always come in close to them)
    7 Elite (a master of the game no one owns you on the track apart from legendary players)
    8 Legend (killer of elite and you stand out miles from other elites)


    starting with myself i grade myself as really good level 5 highly skilled and on good days a crap level 6 dangerous

    lol...So modest the perfect gentleman

    just a note on the above poll..incase of confusion..this is really about online play..mainly..though i guess players from other modes could apply this themselves..

    i knew someone would say that...

    problem with this is you will get either....

    1 players says their a noob like PS when its obvious they are not cos they dont want to show off
    2 A idiot that says they are legendary but only played one online game and DNF
    3 maybe a player like me who gives honest opinion.


    If you want to nominate another player do so.just post name and reason to explain why you think they are that level..


    edit...@yeldar..come'on this is rubbish..you voted dangerous..try maybe legendary or maybe topend elite when your stoned off your head..no need to be shy

    Well Jasmin, I don't love the idea to rate myself. I'm just someone who loves what he is
    doing. That's it.

    This thread is potentially dangerous.

    Honestly, based on my experiences online and the records tables I can compete and defeat anyone Rapier-Venom (I don't play Phantom seriously).

    However, I bow down to a few folks, like the guy above me (yeldar) for starters...

    you are very good

    this thread like any thread has potential to be dangerous..so hopefully players will not use this as a means to attack each other and show respect..

    On a very good day I would be a 5, on a bad day aound 2 or 3.

    It also depends on the opposition- good players make be push harder and I can sometimes surprise myself- I once had a nailbiting race against Sinus1 on Seb reverse where I won by a tenth of a second and I was dead chuffed (this was when Sinus1 was at level 50).

    Slightly off topic but when is the best time to 'see' and race against WZ pilots? I would race for ages and never come across anyone from here- and do all WZ pilots race Phantom?

    Poll perfectly fitting to few threads recently posted through the zone that i don't feel myself really incline to post in.
    Not that i have something against you Jasmin ( you work in Paris weekkdays : you can't be bad ) but it's typically a topic which leads to non-sense : What do you expect answers from everyone? Fake humility from guys who are the complete opposite on their continuous posts, true arrogant saying : ' i'm dominating' or free 'polite' congratulations from others...

    Voted 7. Elite.

    I'd say people like Wotan, yeldar, reach-big are Legend.

    KGB - The best thing about the Greenix scale was that it was achievement based. So you'd get a number rank for having, for example, achieved the platinum trophy. You don't lose that trophy so you can only get better. Other achievements were, I think, completing campaign mode, and getting a no 1 record on pretty much anything. You didn't have to still have the no 1, just to have achieved one at some point.

    Anyway, you know as well as anyone that you could be as good as Wotan if you had the time to spend on the game. That's 90% of what it is really, in my opinion - having the time (lack of a real life) to practice enough.

    Well I think some people are just more talented than others and it comes more easily. I've played the game a lot, probably more than Wotan and just found my level. Wotan is just very good at it.

    I'd like to think I might meet you someday Asayyeah so don't go disappearing yet.

    I agree, but maybe that just means some people have to put more time in to make up for slightly less talent. Although I'll be honest, I am starting to fail to see how any amount of practice could help anyone achieve the kind of times Elois gets on TT.
