The Unstoppable, Untouchable and Unbeatable Zico

[Mietepiet]

imo it's not about BR, but about good lines. for example:
1.
the bridgeroll will give you a little advantage only, since you have to take a wider line in the left-hander.
But on a bad line in the first corner you will loose a lot more. (no airbrake, only a little steering+2 sideshifts on 1st and 3rd pad)
2.
If you can't do the good line, you can't make that BR (in most cases)

BTW: great story indeed :d

ive try and i fail... the last time i remember i was .10 of a sec slower and it got my nerves!!
patience and low pulse lol! one day zico ... one day your time will come and you ll be a memory!

I am 100% certain you can beat zico man!!! 100% certain. just relax and go for it!

I got zico by accident. I was showing a friend how to BR, and so I went into SL mode in an icaras, then he asked if I could do it in a crappy ship. So I chose Piranha and did it in lap 2 lol. Total surprise when I saw the trophy pop up. That was years ago now.

Poss, from what I`ve read, did you not beat zico?, well you do surprised me!, cos, the way you race online, you were unstoppable!!! so, imo, you can beat it!

Like Terra said, you will beat it and I wholeheartedly agreed with him

Guys, honestly, it`s not that hard, just patience!

stevie

[terra-wrists]

Yes bud, he CAN do it, and possibly get a seriously quick time once he figures it out. No doubt about it. He can always possess Zico's ghost too

[possesed13]

koko.jpgkoko2.jpgim not the patient guy kind of type...
lol... thank you for you very nice words but zico is busting my balls lol!!
seriously im not in the hunt of trophies... every trophy i got so far i have it by just playing not targeting to a trophy!
only airbreaker was a target and zone zeus will be one day!
i havent got any hidden trophies or the eliminator trophies
stuck at 71%
zico bastard!! lol
today is feast day here im full of meat cheese and lots of alcohol and just came to say hello

hope youre having a great easter too!!

[terra-wrists]

meat and cheese... stop making me hungry man everyones gone out and I'm home alone today. frozen pizza is on the menu. derp.

You lack patience like me for offline? I didn't know there were other pilots who felt this way. kindred spirits here bro

EDIT: just saw the pic. Your BBQ has got me salivating now. I'd do a BBQ too if it weren't raining cats and dogs here :/

Happy Easter, enjoy

Beating Zico is a PITA

Well known fact

Tick off these "Need Too's" to beat the FU90er

Ajust your Air Brakes: The LOWER your Air Brake % = The MORE sensitive your Air Brakes are.
I know, it seems arse about, but it's true.
Try it.
It could make ALL the difference between beating ZICO or constant failure.

[possesed13]

zico is history... lol
i finally beat f****** zico
i found the BR i was missing....
at last ho ho!!!

[Zzonkmiles]

Congratulations! Did you get the platinum trophy? Zico was the last one I needed before I got platinum.

[possesed13]

no i think i need the 3 hidden trophies which i dont know what they are about

help anyone???

[terra-wrists]

Congrats fella it was only a matter of time before you beat Z.

[possesed13]

yeah just woke up today and on third attempt i made it....
it was easier than i thought!!!
generally i think experience makes Zico possible....

f****** zico lol

[terra-wrists]

which BR was you missing?

[possesed13]

practicaly they were 2 BR...
one at the beginning of the track just before the startline hit the turbo and pitch up...
but only the HD ship flyes high enough to BR.
and the most dificult the one at the bridge at the small jump at the beginning!

[nostromer]

Well, it took about 300 laps and some learning but I finally BZ ! ! I was stuck with my best lap at 30.83 for like 100 laps and it was driving my crazy. Having a ghost that close really helped though.
Finally beat it with 30.71 using the 3 BR technique that Hellfire suggested. Here's a tip:

I don't remember what the hidden trophies were. I think one of them was called Gemini and required you to win 20 two-player races or something. Normally the ones people get stuck on are Beat Zico, Zone Zeus, Arcade Perfect, and Elite Campaign Legend. Some also don't like Da Bomb because they don't play Detonator so much.

[possesed13]

the only ones i miss are da bomb, hold your fire and 3 hidden trophies....
thanks anyway

I never do that turbo BR before the track start line. The only ones I do are the following.

First left turn, on the exit pitch up slightly and turbo and BR - align right on the hill going left into the narrow section - side shift BR into it (get the double if you can but not necessary)... then the BR onto the bridge (which you know how to do now) and the final BR is off the bridge, onto the speed pad - then you slap Zico's butt as you pass the finish line and call him "sexy pants"

[Cipher]

Lol terra ^^ sexy pants
But yeah zico is really easy, I don't understand what's so tough about it, I guess it's just practicing wipeout in general more than anything, but it in the end it,s quite easily beatable, I do wonder how the zico man himself set such a time in a short span of playtime (unless he practiced it like every day lol) wish there was a video of his lap ^^

[possesed13]

lol .... and zico scream in surprise .... big slap!
at first zico was far away from my skills to beat!
after 200 hrs online its piece of cake... try and beat terra or cipher for exampe...
who is zico anyway... lol
but it is a good lap in any case!!
