29.66 :D
Edit: LOL exactly same time as Rezatron
I will try to improve :) :dizzy
Edit2: Getting there...
i tried for a few laps but i can't do a boost br start...
i have motion sensor off, should i turn motion to pitch only?
also can't do the double br after the boost on the hill...
i guess some pilots are just better than others so i'll stop trying. lol
@DreamyElf: It's all about great timing, just keep trying :)
Personally I fail the boost br start quite often, it's not very easy.
I use motion sensor - pitch only, but not for the boost br start, the motion sensor has quite a delay.
New time: 29.55 - 7BRs - 13SPs - Piranha HD (double BR onto overpass but missed some SPs :()
Edit: 29.48 - 7BRs - 12SPs - HD
Edit2: 29.26 - 6BRs - 13SPs - HD (missed boost br start)
30.20 6 brs all sps?
I cant stand ap, where do you boost br nowadays on this?
since i decided...got a problem with it......yeldarQuote:

in theory if you are a master of all of them go for it provided you can keep your energy up..
but i have seen many good player defeat themselves by trying to pull off a silly br and end up crashed or simply just play on low energy levels only to be killed by a weapon or a collision with another racer or a wall..
i think the players who request a br free speed lap may want to see how their line compares to a top player..for myself i simply just do not have the time to learn these advanced br techniques they require much skill and practice..
but saying that i would never want to see br vanish from SL as it is what wipeout hd is all about but it would be good just to try a Br free trail just to see how much the br makes to players race times and how a average player would fare aginst a top player..
There was a league called pressure created here by players that thought their lines were able to compete with top player's (those that are doing silly BR). There was only one or two event organised ! :lol
In avalon races every player is able to perform 5/6 BR... and who wins ? :eek Yeldar, or Unctuous, or Saturn, or Tck... !! The same who wins on normal races with lots of BR to perform! :rolleyes:
Or leungbok on Syncopia! Yes I remember that one, bon up ^^
I think it's be fun to try every so often. Maybe not every week but every now and then, variety being spicy n that :D
Of course you can't keep Barrel Rolling in a race as you would in Speed Lap or time trial. But then you can't keep grinding along the wall either, or have everything ripped away by an errant quake.
You can't consider TTs and SLs to be in the same kind of league as Races - you'll have people who are good at one and not at the other. My speciality is Zone/Zone Battle: anyone who's raced me in Avalon knows I'm hopeless at races and my record on this thread is evidence that I suck hard at SL/TTs. But surely this is a gaming forum and we're here to have fun, regardless of how fast we are. Nobody's forcing you to do this, Jasmin. You could go play races and leave us be if you'd prefer.
Supposing in an Eliminator you were forbidden suddenly to use Quakes and Plasmas. That's the equivalent of banning Barrel Rolls - it's yet another weapon in the arsenal of skilled players.
Sorry, just thought I'd throw in my tuppence worth...
Hehe, today, for the first time I made 2 new br's on Anulpha :redface: thanks to that I menage to get from 30.03 to 29.19 :hyper
29.19 / 6 br's / xx sp / piranhia hd
Ah triboy you beat me!!
Good thing I got an improved time again :g
29.12 - 7BRs :dizzy - 13SPs - Piranha HD
Edit: Gonna try out different techniques now...
need.to.beat.yeldar:robot
Managed to get a 29.49 - 5BRs - 14 pads - fury.Top 20, which isn't bad considering how many people have tried this before. Miles off the lead though.
This challenge have really given me a sore thumb, need to rest it some...
Not sure if I'll be able to beat yeldar, at least not this week :P
sorry leungbok.i cannot see the relevance of your statement...:brickwallQuote:

i can tell you that i do not think that and most players would also agree.
a top player who can pull off all the possible br's on a track should be more than likely capable of racing a very tight line.simple logic8)
In that case it's already possible on moa reverse tt phantom, several top 10 are made without any BR ! ;)Quote:

29.30 / 6 br's / 14 sp / piranhia hd
Darn!!! Now I gotta improve my time again xD
Edit: Improved time!
28.85 - 7BRs - 14SPs - Piranha HD <- Click for video
Edit2:
28.37 - 7BRs - 14SPs - Piranha HD
I give up now x)
Thanks to yeldar for hints :)
Wow, amazing time Luri :clap
Nice video too - there's no way I can pull off some of those BR's :eek
Thanks :)
All it takes is determination.
I have probably done 1000 laps on AP this SLC week :lol
**** me you're getting closer every minute!
Great job, thank goodness it's monday, I might be safe ^_^
Blah, life's got in the way and I haven't had time to do much on the challenge this week. I still can't do either the BR onto the overpass or a boost BR reliably enough to string a good lap together, so I guess I'll have to have the shame of being the only one on this thread not to beat Zico. D: I probably won't be on for most of the next month or so, but I'll promise to at least try and post a time.
...31.43 using the Fury, 3 Barrel Rolls, 12 Speed Pads.
Christ, that feels embarrassing...
tbo challenger001
AP is imo the hardest track in the game..it might be easy to fly around but to do it in a good time makes it the hardest.their are like 6-7..maybe more br's most of which are near impossible..
To do this track in a good time is also beyond me too..so dont feel embarassed..
:nod
Im going to close the challenge a little earlier this week, as I won't be around later to update it.
Congratulations to yeldar for his victory this week, and an honourable mention to our newest competitor, LurifaxFlux, who almost beat him ;)
Thanks to all who competed - your names will be added to the Hall of Fame thread.
This weeks criteria are as follows:
SPEED LAP/CHENGHOU PROJECT (REVERSE)/RAPIER/MIRAGE
Good luck everybody
good choice this week DP! :+
at last some rapier action! :D
time to improve a little on chen p rev, i'm rubbish on the rev course...
also time to clean the dust out of the mirage, i haven't used this ship for ages! :lol
i dont mind using mirage but i hate racing against them..their like the white vans of wipeout the hog the whole track with thier fat large round body and its hard to get past them..
this is a good challenge cos im rubbish at this track i dont even know a br
and i have never made the last corner without hitting walls..
i wonder if i can change that this week...Hmmmmm:nod
You can do a BR going down the last left hander. Combine that with a boost-BR start and a boost-BR over the shortcut and you have 3 BRs. Might be possible to be a do a BR just after the tunnel in the middle of the track but it's hard at this speed (well, for me...).
edit: i'm sure barnster got his 23.58 by either clipping a wall at start and chaining 2 BRs or clipping the wall in the middle section and chaining BRs there (or both!).
nice tips..thanks alot..il try them out..:)
Jas, have you tried watching Hellfire's videos? There's two phantom BRs on this track, and watching SaturnReturn's videos, he can pull off three on a regular basis. Rapier would probably be a bit trickier, but I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple of three or even four BR-runs on this course.
Speed Lap > Chenghou Project Reverse > Rapier > Mirage Fury
0.26.82, 9 SPs, 0 BRs
cool..cant beat a good video to help you learn a track.
thx
23.63 vid for you (pl) and your AG friends ^^
Also my entry for the week :nod
i got 22.40 but i couldnt be bothered to do any br,s cos im so hot :p
Then suddenly i woke up from my dream ...26.40 :turd with a one and a half b,r and a faceful of wall..
sad but true.....:nod
i'm currently at 25.72
thx for the video yeldar^^
i see that i was trying to take the shortcut from wrong spot, maybe i'll improve a little...
@jasmin
hey, don't worry jasmin my previous rec was 26.85 without using the shortcut, last night i tried some laps and managed to cut it by a sec.
keep trying and you'll improve!:)
edit: can't improve i give up, so final time is: 25.72 - 9 sp - 2 br - fury
Had a go last night:
24.67 / 8 SP / 3 BR / Fury
EDIT: Did the last BR but missed some easy pads, doh.
Well I have to start somewhere :)
25.11 - 3BRs - 10SPs - Mirage Fury
24.30 - fury ship - 3 BRs - 8 :brickwall speedpads
@dreamy elf...25.72 is a very good time...
i will keep trying but this track is very difficult for me i can t even get a decent start..
also like you i was taking the shortcut way to late no wonder i wasnt gaining any time..but i will keep at it see what happens :)
@leungbok..24.30..wow..thats fast..did you unlock a new ship with infinate turbo..or am i just too slllllllllllllloooooowwww
24.04 - 3BR - 10SP - Fury
Off my 2 month old PB by 0.11s. Oh well, i'm satisfied with it.
Good run, so it turns out you don't need another BR to get near the WR at this speed. Those extra funky BRs are key in Venom/Flash though...Quote:

One question to all pilots. How many laps You are flying in week for SL challenge? This is my time after 9 laps.
24.75 / 3 br's / 10 sp / fury
Probably I will try to improve a lil bit ;)
Oh, and one thing. Grats to Lurifax, man, 28.37... stunning ;)
A quick 5 lap session got me 25.02 with 2BR's. I'm struggling to do the sideshift BR.
