The Speed Lap Challenge

Hey AG-wolf, sorry I'm at work atm, so can't watch your vids, but I know for a fact you're really fast on the previous wo anyway. To be honest, and speaking for myself, it's just crazy insane practice, day after day, since hd release date. Can't have a look at my stats right now but I'm probably around 8000/9000 laps on anulpha pass forward so yes, I can get consistently laps around 20.30/20.20. But don't get me wrong, I'm still falling of the bridge/boosting off track/eating walls/failing brs tons of time too. Seriously I think it's a crazy addiction now, every day I need my speed lap fix. Tekken 6 is covered with dust, I'm playing 1 or 2 quarters with MJ on 2k10 then turning off the game, or playing 30mn/1h max of mw2... Then I'm returning to wo hd... So definitely not wipeout god lol, more a crazy insane guy intoxicated by a videogame... but thank you for the compliment anyway lol. My mates are more balanced than me as far as I know, Yeldar is playing Ninja Gaiden or other games, Wotan is a burnout fan... So yes my best times are only due to practice, practice, practice... and certainly not instinctive talent. I remember one day, FBJ was talking about a buddhist thought, roughly saying if you're doing something 10 000 times you will be able to do it perfectly.

improved to: 20.37 - 13pads - 5br

I think I found a way to get Yeldar sub 20:
3br of the lap @ arrowhead
- left SS out of the narrow section
- right SS on speedpad
- just b4 the apex you can get enough air with a good tap on the left airbrake

it saved me aprox 0.05 secs

20.11, 15 sp, 5 brs, hd. reaching my physical limits there, not sure i'll try to lower that time, it's becoming too mental. i'm appreciating even more your time now yeldar, you're definitely a #$%"& bot. btw ag-wolf, had a look at my stats, i was wrong, i've "only" around 6800 laps on that track lol.

@mietepiet: Yeah the 3rd (or 4th ;) ) BR is quite easy even without sideshift but for some reason I am much faster with the SS method... I think the easiest way for me to get sub would be more BRs (:hyper) or a better BR onto the overpass. If you do it right you can save at least .10s but during my 20.01 I did it the same as in my previous An00bpha video which is 'way' slower. Great time kanar...sub 20.00 for you as well? Let's go together!

Think I'm on 20.39 - 5br - 13sp - HD. How's everyone taking the first bend. Do you hit 2 or 3 pads

I hit 2 on my lap, stuck to the inside like glue. That's just because I'm used to it though. On occasion I did laps with both 1 and 3 pads and they were all pretty much the same.

Also Mietepiet I think you're right on that one now that I think about it, I'm just not very good at doing it 'well' without a SS...if that makes sense? :?

Quick run, 48 laps: 20.26 - 5BR - 12SP

This time was actually my first lap where I hit all 5 BRs, I was just waiting until I made all five and then I quit. I could probably improve this a little bit.

are you guys using your turbo at the first crest after the first turn, or the second smaller bump?

Got my time down to 20.49, 13 SP's, 5 BR's. Trying to improve it but it's difficult for me

@AGW: I use mine as soon as I've straightened up coming out of the first turn, Like so (20.04)

/yet more flagrant self-promotion :P

Foolish me, i should have been participating in this more often considering all i do these days are SLs :)

20.08 15 SPs 5 BRs, Icaras+, and a new pb :cowboy wheres a cigar smoking smiley when you need one!
No matter how pleased i am with my wipeout times, yeldars aaaaalways ahead....

jeez, f****n awesome time mate, :clap:clap! You're lucky I'm at work atm lol, already reserved my night on Anulpha :banzai

:brickwall

Damn phantom..! Seriously have trouble with it. Had a quick go earlier and all I could muster was about 20.84.

Quick run , 4 laps : 20.20 - 5BR - 14SP

So close of my ghost , if i'll find time (4 other laps :lol) i hope to improve this SL

can i become the chairman of your fan club ? :hyper

:lol

Nice new tag at the bottom :lol whose handy work?

Don't know but whoever it is, I'm not sucking anything...cept maybe my thumb when I'm watching cheesy teen drama series ^_^

@ Leungbok : don't think so , as far i know you aren't able to make quick run ,so .... ^^ Edit : it seems i was wrong , welcome chairman :D

Well , sorry for the irrelevant . i improved my time yesterday : 20.18 now

@wowo :hyper
20.23, 5 BRs, fury (lap 2 as usual :lol)

Small improvement from me - up to 20.45 now, 5BR's. I can see a 20.3x being possible for me, but I think that will be my limit.

20.11 - 6 BR's - 13 Pads - Fury Ship

I wasn't racing AP since i got 20.14 couple of weeks ago and i found my ghost bugged. Today i found some spare time and here i am :)

I made a small improvement a few days ago, forgot to post: 20.23 - 14SP - 5BR - HD

DP_89 you missed Hellfire's time :sonar

2 people tried the TT challenge this week :lol:frown:

I think Rezatron meant phaeton's time, not Hellfire? Big congrats to Yeldar & OBH for their alien times by the way, I did my best but really couldn't improve mine.

phaeton - There's a 6th BR?

Rezatron - Hellfire doesn't have a time - unless you meant phaeton as kanar said?

@ Dark Phantom
That 6'th BR is Leungbok's "Boost BR start"

It's in my last AP video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_EHJCo1-4E

Yeah phaeton that's what I tried to do myself at the end in order to beat my 20.11, but failed miserably... If it's perfectly executed I think a sub is possible, but it's a real pain in the a** to chain everything in one alien lap. Speaking of alien, Yeldar you should try it, as you're already flawless with 5 brs on that track.

Oh no, I can beat it with 5BRs...I MUST!

:paperbag

...

Actually it's because I can't do the boostBR at the start :paperbag . I can do the pseudo-BSB start but I don't really like it and 80% of the time normal boost is faster for me.

I love the awesome times people are producing this week :rock

--> Let's all cross the sub 20.00 finish line together :g

Ahh, I didn't think of doing the boost BR. Saw your video phaeton - very impressive, don't think I could do the boost BR anyway.

Nose down -> nose up -> boost -> BR -> SS while landing :D

I can do boost BR at the start with 80% success ratio but it gives me an advantage in only 30% of try. Double BR on the overpass gives more advantage but i don't think i will ever be able to do them all in one lap.

I think the key to sub 20 is on the long left hander just before the overpass. 19.xx can be done without that extra BR for sure. With all those crazy BR's 19.70 maybe 19.65 is possible. Good luck Yeldar :+

Congrats guys, you are all winners!

BoostBR --> BoostBRBR --> 2xBR in tunnel --> BR on left-hander --> 2xBR on overpass -> BR off overpass --> o_O

Hey, ho; let's go :rock

Absolutely amazing times this week everyone, really high up on the Global Leaderboards. Your names will be added to the Hall of Fame thread :rock

This week's criteria is as follows: SPEED LAP/MOA THERMA(FORWARD)/VENOM/FEISAR

That's if anybody can actually get to play HD this week due to the PSN situation... :bomb

Cool, I will finally try and learn that shortcut. :D

oh god, Venom? I'll grow old before I finish three laps (of course, providing my PS3 magically decides to work again lol)

Just had a quick run (22 laps), got 34.41, 9 pads, fury feisar; have a fair bit of room for improvement. Will see if I can muster the effort to go through 35+ second average laps later :p
At least it's better than phantom, I can actually post halfway decent times this week! :lol

Where is everyone using the boost? I'm using it at the end but I think it's giving me too much air time.

Shortcut boosty is besty. Or did you mean where in the shortcut?

Mine mine mine!! :g:beer

I've got 34.43 - 2BR - 9pads - Fury.

Best to use the boost after the tunnel. As you come out, boost and jump over the corner with varying degrees of success like me :lol. Just need that bit of luck to get a third BR at the end.

34.23 - 2 BRs, 9 Pads, FURY
Reckon theres another tenth and a bit to knock off with slightly tighter lines, and if i could ever pull off the double br...... even just once....

Anyone else find Moa has real problems with boosting over the line?? Swear 4 out of 5 times i clearly havnt started a new lap yet i dont get a new boost.

edit:
hmm the current wr is 33.2 something. Maybe theres more time to be squeezed out of this lap that i thought....

I'm getting that to Haydn. I don't realize until I get to the shortcut and just fly into the wall.
