Hi to all
I'd like to introduce myself: My real nickname is asayyeah... but i can't log in in the forum section so i choose this one ( old asayyeah) to do it.
First of all i would greet all the old players i met few times ago on this site, on the fusion forum. I hooked on zone mode for those who know me but my first wipeout was the 2097 pal version in 1996.
I've played many years with a friend called sleh-003 with i-link cable. We've bought 2 Neg-con ( btw ,now it's my fourth neg-con since 1996 ! )
Dear Al, when you 've written me 2 years ago for asking me a videotape for my 14.8, i didn't take you seriously so that i didn't't answer you. But now it's different there's a new time table league for the 2097 Pal and i should prouve my times. No worry I don't have a videorecorder but i have many pictures and videofolders showing sleh-003 and me in many i-links races with many good times.
Btw Al , i never use a D-pad for my records only a Neg-con but on the left side of the Neg-con, there's a controller pad which is useful for controlling the up and down ; probably you make a misunderstandig about that,... Apologize to me for my bad english.
Concerning the way to increase speed with the piranha in phanthom mode :
The maximum speed of Piranha without hitting boost is 344 Kph , the maximum is 492 Kph if you go faster (after a jump for instance) you go down immediately at 392Kph.
By hitting boost you often cross the 400 kph line everybody knows or do that. My technique is new if you quickly alternate right and left with airbrakes in an harmonious way, you increase your speed each kph by each kph moreover if you do this when you cross a boost you increase your speed 20kph to 25kph more.
That's the reason why you can make time such that
Ex : Talon's reach with the piranha to achieve 15.0 sec for a lap the minimum speed during the lap is 440 kph even in the tunnel section..
Sorry for those precisions but i think it's useful for everybody who didn't really know me.
What else to say?
At this time i didn't own any console only my pc but times to times i borrow a friend 's psx and have adrenaline rush on it.
I 've many health problems so that i didn't work , i didn't post very much but when i feel better i kick my 'english ass' and i write again, often in the french forum and barely on the wipeoutfusion board (the official site for W.F.ps2) but i was forgotten this W3out fan site with his legend Al Sartwell/Zoolander. I'm not a W3out fan, i've finished it but the reaction of handling was quite different from the smooth handling of the 2097.
The special edition was sold everywhere in europe except in France ( The French Exception!) so i didn't have it.
Recently Al send me an e-mail wonderind my records on the 2097 pal . Yesterday i answer him with times and 3 pictures i took by my webcam on Talon's reach with my piranha ; 2 pictures with a race time of 1.25.2 not very impressive but there's a 14.7 lap !The last one i hit the last corner of my 5th lap i take a shoot just after i hit the wall and you can see lap 1 : 16.9 lap 2: : 15.0 lap 3 : 15.0 lap 4 : 15.0 ( i 've craked under the pressure at lap 5...)
I also thought to check this forum and i saw people talking a few about me ( De Niro' way: Are you talking to me : ).
Respect Lunar to take my defense. I'm not surprised : on the wipeoutfusion board you was respected by everyone. Thx sir :wink:
I update my times on the 2097 European version league . I took my piranha's times for the time trial but for the single race if you mean with all opponents + weapons on, i took the auricom's times
I've really worked on rapier and phanthom mode.
I'm open for all comments.
Greetings.
Asayyeah...
