And even if you did run a contact-free lap you'll need at least 2 turbos - and the weapon draw hasn't been kind to me :/Quote:

A useful trick is to start off the race by standing still for 5 seconds and deliberately lingering in 15th place until you get a turbo. It shouldn't take more than a single lap, and about 1/3rd of the time I get one off the very first weapon pad. With this turbo on hand, complete your lap.
Make the second lap your record run. You now need only one turbo, and because you're in 12th place or something and already on the second lap, the game may decide to help this clumsy pilot along and hand out an extra turbo.
If you fail to break the record on the second lap, might as well restart because on subsequent laps the checkpoints will force you to move up the field, reducing your chance to get more turbos and making it more likely that you'll get shot. Once you reach ~4-6th place, the turbos will stop coming altogether.
Oh that helps me. Haven't known about the weapon pad system.
I once got so very lucky. Right before the finish line in 2nd lap somebody used a turbo behind me and I got pushed very far! It was just as fast as an own turbo. Lovely.
Will try as you told, thank you :)
Here's my Feisar times.
Wip3out PAL
Portokora Phantom class: 22.92 with hyperthrust
24.48 without hyperthrust
I haven't tried Talo's Reach yet.
Ok, I tried the Talon's Reach at Wipeout 2097: 20,6 sec.
PS. I got my first perfect lap on Piranha at Phantom class!! :D
Lap time was only 18,3 sec. thou....

Everything is getting a little tighter in this challenge...:D Have fun all.:+
19:5?? Aww crud.
I have to go.
*runs to his room and turns playstation on*
Hey guys. It's been awhile since I've been on the forums but he Name caught my eye so I've decided to join, but first I need some details.:guitar
.
Read the first post on page one.
.
Interestingly, Assayyeah is only 1.3 seconds from my Klies Bridge time, and Talon's Reach is slower than Klies Bridge due to the kink in the starting grid. I suspect the track is the real winner here, not the pilot.
My God child Caroline took back the N64 + WipEout so unique chance for me to compete is my precious talon's reach.
Last thursday i had a long i-link session 2097 with Dag : he tested the black neggie for the 1st time and prefered get back to his own white ( same for me) we raced rapier & phantom on 5 tracks.
To make the challenge interesting we took different ships, me in feisar, he on auricom : he mostly kicked my arse on the easiest tracks but finally got some interesting scores especially on phantom laptime : got 3 turbos in a lap and did a 18.7 unfortunately i did this on lap4 where many ships where around. Possibly on lap2 where the 'road is free-ships' under 18.0 may be done...
i will practise a last time before the challenge ending, who never knows :)
Great lap Asa!!:D
(He preferred the white, wow! All I have to do is hold my black neggie and I feel like a Wipeout god:D )PHP Code:he tested the black neggie for the 1st time and prefered get back to his own white ( same for me)
Oh man, how is it that I haven't noticed this thread till now?
I know what I'm doing tonight. Feisar on TR in 2097 Phantom - shouldn't present too much difficulty ;)
update: some difficulty! but - 20:3 on Talons Reach 2097. I really hate it when a ship more than one place ahead of you rear-fires a missile and it homes in on you and not the ship behind it. B*st*rds. Anyway, I might try to up that time later...
edit: Arnaud, do you really prefer white over black neggie?
Yes definitely but i must reckon i got 10 years spending with various whites , i only got my black very very recently ( thx to Stevie Stinie :beer )
The black is too small for my 25 fingers ! :D
Seriously i don't like much the Dpad feeling when nose up or down which is very different from the whites. and definitely too small for my hands but what a lovely piece of Japanese art: i found in love with its sexi shape :p
Well, using my lovingly restored black neggie, I've upped my time to 19.9 on Talons Reach 2097. Sub-20 was my primary aim so I'm going to top trying for now, until I get bored with Qirex in venom...
2097 or XL? US version is faster??:dizzy
Asayyeah's version is faster ;) (Double-tap, double-tap...):D
Yeah, that doesn't work on mY version; it always makes me go slower. :blarg
My technique is quickly alterning a soft caress then a freakin violent double tap :o
... if you extract that sentence from this context that may be understood as a sweet but confusing & tendential' one :D
:paperbag
Does this ''soft caress'' include actually braking?
Lol, Arnie is confusing Wipeout with women again :p
yes Lance a soft twisting to give the impulsion to the ship whether left or right
Do you steer the ship entirely by using the airbrakes, or do you also use the neGGie's twist control?
{I use airbrakes as little as possible.}
Apologize Lance i haven't said that it's mostly used for piranha ship : i get only an impulse left or right( by twisting neggie) for direction and get a quick tap on airbrake to let the ship goes to his original position : you remember when i was saying 'no counterbreak needed with piranha' , this ship is immediately returning to his original position after a quick airbrake tap .
That's why you don't see my ship moving too much from left or right on my videos .
With other ships it's different : on low classes you don't need to use airbrakes and you can do ALL the tracks with perfect lines without nearly touching airbrakes, but on fastest class with tricky bends, you absolutely need to anticipate your lines on a bend largely before when it's done by Piranha so in that case you need airbrakes and double tap is not getting you an extra advantage : the best you can do is to slide the walls to get a great speed when you go out from those curves and it's done by a simple press action( not a quick double tap and not a long pressing of 5 sec! ) on the good airbrake

I am extending this challenge to the end of August, in case any one else (besides me) intends on getting their hands on an N64 and giving Klies Bridge a try! And I still have a hunch a couple more legendary wipers could give Bro Laz a run for his money if they so desire...it's hard to downgrade to a Feisar from Piranhas, I'm sure:rolleyes:
I think i ve found a new N°1 : Owen Cooper aka Zerow
http://www.wipeoutzone.com/records.p...ion=&x=26&y=61
Sure he hasn't read this topic but we can include him :nod
Yes he is dang fast! But I excluded the VR tracks from this challenge so he may hate me a bit if he takes up the challenge:p I will take a peek at the records tables for any Feisar times in the eligible tracks, throw them in if they are fast and no one objects?? One never knows what is hiding in those tables:naughty
(Dominator has a 20:81 in Exostra, I added him in there.)
Apparently my AU pure is different to all yours eh? :D
Sorry Medusa not to have read perfectly what you described on your 1st post and the 2nd next one. :paperbag
Pure AU = Pure Pal, no difference :)
Hi All.
After a long time i have a little time to improve my time just a little....:)
Alterego-WoPure-exostra run- 20.54
Read You Soon
CdRom
New time for me - a 20.60 at Staten Park. Im about done with trying to beat it too - walls are frustrating!
UPDATE!
Wipeout 2097 PAL:Talon's Reach
time: 20.3
It's all about luck for me, I rarely get more than 1 turbo boost...
I am too wondering, how you can get 2 turbos per lap. Of course it's possible, but pretty unlikely on courses that short.
I don't stop trying though ^^ Best time so far: a 1-turbo-and-lots-of-fighting-21:32 on Staten Park.

Welcome to the new contestants!! Showing me I'd better get back to work on this one.:p We are now a dirty dozen:rock
Grrrr....still not good enough! Must get less than 20 seconds! *graps his ps2 controller and runs to his room*
.Quote:

With a ps2 controller? Not possible. *hugs his neGcon* :hyper
Well, got to try first, then we'll see if it's possible :D
Bloody weapon grids, won't give me any turbo boosts...
Just for the record: Do you have to finish a race for your time to be legit or are excessively hyperthrusted lap times which may lead to my explosion in the process of the next lap allowed too? :p
Advancements:
Exostra Run - 19:92
Staten Park - 21:21 :D
Tonight I'll give WO3 a try, see if I can come up with a decent Porta Kora time.
