[ONlock]

With best of three, I mean, you pick one map, and your opponent picks one map, and the third and last is the decider map, which may or may not be fixed.

Same rules, just simplified.

[Aeroracer]

sounds good..being a greedy so and so what about a world cup like last year with team vs team..that was fun..would it be possible to get soe teams together..

[novide]

i'm in

[Nutcase:259]

id be proud to say i went out in round 1 of the wipeout cup to end all wipeout cups

count me in

[kanar]

mmm I'm ok for a same, fixed decider map for all rounds yes. But best of 3 is really short I mean, best of 5 should let you more possibilities to make a come back if you fkd up the first races. Jasmin, I think organising a national teams world cup is even more unrealistic than what I'm trying to organise. I mean it's already mayhem to organise something at an individual level, so mobilize group of people under the national flag, now, after 2 years of HD, seems impossible... Friendly meetings are still occuring, like France-Japan a few days ago, but jeez organising a world cup now ...

[ONlock]

best of 3 is really short I mean, best of 5 should let you more possibilities to make a come back if you fkd up the first races. ...

Yes, I know. That was really the only agrument I could come up with myself for not doing it. I just thought that the simplicity of it would make it more acessible to more players. Maybe we would get fuller and better match reports. And getting the mathces played would be easier, as it doesn't take much time at all, and is easy to squeese in between lunch and teabreak. You get the point.

Although, 5 maps is probably just as good. I'm for it.

I think the winner of the "WipEout HD Photo competition" should have his picture as the background of the cup table. Or even as the main picture for the event.

[kanar]

eh eh yes, nice idea regarding the pic! So we're staying with a best of 5 then, as it's already a quickly played & fair format.

To be honest guys, I really hope all the old WZ guard will stand up for this one. The format is, like we said, particularly flexible, so except timezone differences, there's not so much obstacles, if you're a wipeout fan, to play a bunch of races online with someone at a particular moment of your life.

[Wotan]

I'm quite rusty now but why not ?!

[Challenger #001]

Well, I'm in. Hope the old guard do show up - it would be nice to send WO off with a nice final event at least. ^^ I may end up seeing all you guys playing GT5 later around Christmas before I run whooping off in February in the general direction of Aperture Science. :3

[R3BU5ER]

Hey this time I'm in! Probably gonna get my Ass kicked, bit I'm masochistic in Ã* way offtop: since the psn update this afternoon, i can't het online :s says my password is wrong, but it's defenitly not. What's up with That??

[kanar]

general psn maintenance for the 3d update stuff mate, until tomorrow I think. Thanks a lot for joining, and for your pm!

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Ahh, how can I say no to this? Count me in Kanar

[triboy]

Its about maintenance maybe: http://www.community.eu.playstation..../td-p/11525112
Kanar, the info is already spread

[amplificated]

How can I say no to this, I've missed every single other WO event entirely - it's about time I jumped in! I definitely want to be a part of a good WO competition, so I can't imagine being left out of this should it go ahead - count me in

I guess I'll have to find time to dust off my wipeout skills

[dobyblue]

I'm calling the winner coming out of the Merlin group right now, haha.
(and no, I don't mean me!!)

[jan709]

Im in! Although i will need dates and times a few days in advance, school can sometimes mess up my WO schedule

I hope most people will choose phantom, the last time i raced anything else was in the campaign two years ago

[kanar]

Thanks a lot for joining guys! Jan709, it's totally up to you for your 3 choices (speed class, br or no brs, single race or ZB, number of laps), and same for your opponent (3 choices too). Only round 7 is default single race, anulpha rapier.

Jav. I think you raised an important point there; thanks for that .

MMMm. I totally see your point. But then, I can't get out of my head the fact zone battle users are maybe more all around players than me, for example, as I only spent my life in speed lap mode. So yes, there's 2 solutions;

-keeping a 3 ZB possibility, and assuming the fact ZB users will have maybe a slight advantage (because they explored more the game and its possibilities)

-Restricting ZB to 2 rounds per opponent, and give to this cup a single race oriented aspect.

Fact is Fury extension isn't a requirement for the cup anyway, so I think the two choices are both interesting; waiting for your thoughts guys & gals

TBH I feel like ONlock on this one; there's a part of me saying "it's fair, ZB is awesome, even if I suck at it", and the other part saying "jeez I havn't spend all this time in speed lap to loose like that" . But hey, ProblemSolver told me that long time ago ah ah "you should play more Zone modes

[Jav]

I don't think we should allow 3 ZBs. The difference between Zone Battle and Single Races is that with Zone Battle, you can't really get lucky. The better player always comes out on top on Zone Battle because of how the mode works. If you're not good enough, hitting zone barriers is inevitable and you're not likely to have many perfect laps, etc. Especially when the target is zone 55, the better player has enough time to make the difference.

Now, single race. Even when you're structurally better than your opponent at this mode, you could still make a small mistake in just 1 race and you would be out (assuming the other player has won ZB 3 times). Luck (or bad luck) plays a much bigger role in single races. Mess up a boost, a sharp turn or even a barrel roll and you could be out. What if, on Ubermall, you fail the shortcut right after the start? You get respawned and you have lost the race. What if you take the sharp Chenghou turn just a little too early and end up hitting the side of the track? Lost the race. What if you fail the overpass BR on Anulpha and don't land on the overpass? Race over. The thing is, you are somewhat forced to take these risks as you HAVE to win all 4 remaining races.

I'm gonna think of the best solution and report back later.

[jan709]

I guess ill be training anulpha rapier and some ZB then
Also i'd like to credit R3BU5ER for getting me into all this, i think ill forgive him
