The Time Trial Challenge

Nice work KGB :+
Just a Q, where you using your boosty?

P.S. I'll try to make a vid tonight if people would like that...actually I'll make one regardless, I have a little obsession with making vids :P

always appreciated as well Yeldar :P

maybe include a SL as well :paperbag

atm my best on TT is 1:41:08

Yeah I always like watching the videos, can never do the things on them, but it might give me a .10 somewhere. :+

Yeldar I'm using the boost at the charisma free shortcut after the first mag mate. I've seen you use it on the home straight and then use the lip or nose up to just get across the gap to BR where most people boost to - does that make sense.

I would love to see how easy you make this BR into the tunnel look. I've still only managed it about three times. When it is coming off so badly then it's time to stop it :nod. Even though it's at Venom the nose up - SS - LRL - don't hit anything, is beyond me.

lol. The lip BR-chain is pretty easy to start. After that at least 2BRs is possible but getting 3-4 is INSANELY hard. Can't say I spent much time on it but I'll try to find an easier way of pulling them off in the near future.
Yeah doing the mini-shortcut in venom is only faster if you can do a double BR, otherwise it's a bit slower. All will be revealed in the video :nod

"The lip BR-chain is pretty easy to start". Cheeky sod :P. My thumb says different. :+

This is the lip on the right side of the tunnel isn't it? Just can't seem to get any height on it.

On a side note managed 1.39.xx - Icaras+, which is good for me. I seem to be enjoying the time trial more than the speed lap for this track, which is the opposite of last week.

Same here, probs cos the start of the SL is THE biggest pain in the arse ever

Looks like I could be on for another medal here, only through lack of competitors mind :P. Managed to scrape .03 off my time. 1.40.42 - 30 pads.

Was it worth posting? :rolleyes::D

Only a 1.44.11 from me. I don't have the consistency on this track to get a better time.

1.41.77 3brs 30 speedpads

i can manage 1 br off lip but never doubled up, and 1 br was allways behind my ghost still. hard challenge this week

yeah 1 BR is slower that just going normall, you need at least 2 for it to be advantageous in any way :)

Another tricky one this week, but thanks to all who contributed. For the next two weeks it's up to you guys what criteria gets chosen, as I'm letting you make the decision for the Christmas and New Year weeks.

EDIT: The previous threads I had set up were closed, so please state the criteria you'd like to use for both weeks in the thread that Lance set up here: http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7082

After reaching the image limit with the Speed Lap Hall of Fame list, I created a thread showing the results from every week as a reference: http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7081

The criteria for this week are as follows: TIME TRIAL/UBERMALL (FORWARD)/RAPIER/AG-SYSTEMS

ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu ...

as much as I love Ubermall, it can be frustrating at times :P

Just beat my previous best time, but could do better: 1:34.28, AG-S Fury, 29 sp's

Is it possible to get the shortcut BR right at the start amplificated? I can only do it after I've BR'd over the start line.

1.36.56 so far, 32 SP's

not at the start, I think you need the previous lap's boost to give you the extra speed needed, as well as the speed pad on the right. Yeldar made a video a while back that shows the WR time, it was very helpful :P

here it is:

my boost style on the last lap though is more akin to how I outlined it in the speed lap thread though, I personally think it's faster than a simple boost-br; Yeldar is just fast in general :P

Thanks amplificated, that helps - I know where I can improve now. Now it's just a question of maintaining the consistancy for 4 laps :)

Same method as video but with the BR on the first corner on the first lap as well.

1.31.63 - 31 pads - Some BRs - AG-Systems+

I've got a 1.35.xx at the moment which I did in 4 attempts. Had another go and failed big time. I was hoping to knock a couple of seconds off this.

1.33.69 35 speedpads 19 brs i think:P

Another great week has come to a close - again, thanks to all who participated :)

Last week, I set up a thread whereby I let you guys choose the criteria for the upcoming 2 weeks to celebrate Christmas and the New Year. The Christmas votes have been counted, and the result (by a large majority) was so:

TIME TRIAL/MOA THERMA (REVERSE)/PHANTOM/ICARUS

Thanks again for the responses guys :)

You guys can also choose the criteria for next week, so carry on voting in this thread:

First up again 1.59.23 Fury - No BRs. I think I have seen three BRs on this track but was enjoying not doing them for a change, I'll try and get a few at some point. I haven't beaten my SL time yet, will post when I do. :xtree
