    Default Japanese Players

    I read on the forum about the Japanese racers bringing there "A" game lately online. Damn! What the hell! Is there a mini WipeoutHD workshop going on over there? About 2230 hrs (10:30 pm) PST a lot of races are hosted by Japanese players and they are racing circles around me. Hell, I don't claim to be great, but, I'm no rookie either. Hey! hmmmm? it could by a server issue, yep! that's it. No worries mate.

    I've encountered Japanese racers before, but the one's I've come across tend to be pretty bad as even I can beat them with about 4-5 seconds to spare... Maybe it's just my timing? Actually it probably is as I'm usually on early afternoon... They're all sleeping lol

    A certain Aten13 literally seems to half-lap the entire field, he finishes around 15 seconds ahead O_o

    You've never heard of reach-big, PONTA, KujyoQtaro, NOBU-the-sprigan, SHENLONG-, etc?

    Now those players are very good.

    ... and in terms of other modes, ITOSIKI and Carro-Armato are both awesome players.

    I dont think Aten 13 is very fast, but Pontao, Nobu, and reach big7 are animals...

    Man there was a time a few weeks ago where all I saw were JP servers, all with Sol 2 reverse and all in Phantom! I hate Sol 2 reverse but that was all that was there except for a few venom eliminator races...

    I joined a game with two Japanese players last night, a short way into the first lap they both quit. But that's far from typical. They're a pretty dedicated bunch, with their own community/site so I think they may well organise their sessions. I always used to see a lot of Japanese players on Sunday evenings. Always polite and friendly too, if they are OK with their English and not too humble to give it a go.

    Other fast players are rerealm, hn9354, knihTknihT, Aka-sho and so on and so forth.

    So many japanese pilots. I think half of them are second accounts I was online just a few minutes ago and the are still at it

    Everyday I see rank 1 pilots from japan. They must be promoting the game in Japan i think.

    sinus1 had "Aten13" as his PSN comment last week. It's not one of his ghost accounts is it?
