The WZ Trophies

[Archon]

Well, I wanted to try to "Perfect" the Fury tracks after spending so many months working toward Arcade Perfect. I started racing Talon's Junction with weapons off and won it on my first try. I proceeded through them as usual and activated some hidden powers or something because I won all 8 Fury tracks first try, weapons off. So I thought I'd post to see if anyone wanted to try for fun. I guess you could do them as single races or in a Racebox tournament, but the idea for Fury Perfect is to win them all in a row, first try. Arcade Perfect is longer and much more difficult (dare I say too difficult) to earn them all in a row, first try. Also note running them in a Tournament rather than as Single Races would place you at the back of the pack at the start of every race.

The Fury tracks are very interestingly designed where they either don't allow a ton of barrel rolls, or the risk is ridiculous because of the track difficulty (Modesto's tunnel section or TDR's bridge). This makes weapons off seem most interesting. Your rolls must be worthwhile and you line must be perfect, as one mistake means your lead is lost and so is your health.

The Fury tracks seem almost claustrophobic, where you can use mines or rockets to take out many opponents in a cluster and zoom ahead. There is little randomness aside from which power-up you'll get as all will be of benefit. The original HD tracks made me experiment with using weapons or turning them off, and whether I would use my standard Furymau ship or switch to the original AG-Systems for some tracks (CHENGHOU). Hell, I used OG Qirex for both Sebencos!

The idea is to do all Fury tracks in a row, however. That's where the difficulty for this trophy lies. And the standard Arcade Perfect remains as is, as it is plenty difficult already

I did not do my HD Arcade Perfect in sequence

Me neither, but there's already the Campaign tournament having you do the Fury 4 forward, then reverse. This variation also fits my tournament preference where I run one track forward and back before moving onto a new track.

One mistake is allowed as AI is less annoying on no weapon races (particularly
on reverse tracks)

I agree. This WZ trophy is more an endurance challenge. Seriously, running TDR front to back at the end of a tournament is exhilarating!
