Not really but bsbsb was :D
34.48, 1 BR, 10SP's for me so far. Will see if it changes over the week
EDIT: 34.14 now
Indeed I doQuote:

I just got a quick session: 10 x speed lap, 2 x time trial
SL: 33.52 10SP's, 2BR's
TT: 1.46.80 30SP's, 3BR's
both with Fury Goteki.
Boost BR is advantageous here but must be perfectly timed. Works well on all speed classes :)
EDIT: 3 BR's in TT, 1 per lap, sorry :D
Not tried TT yet, I thought it started next week.
My time is rubbish at the moment, can't remember what it is. Where are you getting 6 BRs at phaeton_pl? On SL I can get one at the loop and if I'm lucky one at the start line, but I must be missing something yet again if you can get 6 in TT.
TT starts next week, you are correct KGB.
I'm also interested in the 2BR's. I can't even attempt the one at the start - it just looks impossible to me. Is there a possible 3rd BR?
Depends on your boost location ;)
Actually phaeton is a bit of a BR fiend so maybe he's found a sneaky one somewhere :)
My time so far is an 34.69 - 10pads - 1br - goteki+
I can also use a little help on that 2nd br, been trying that br leungbok does in his phantom sl video, but that one looks impossible for me on this class :(
Wanna vid?
You know I like vid's, don't ya?
And I know you like to record one, soo.. .yes please!
33.04 - 10 Pads - 2BRs - G45+
Things to do differently (apart improving lines because that's always possible):
Boost slightly earlier and pitch up so that you 'skip' more of the mag loop.
Left Sideshift on the last pad (my fingers got in a muddle :lol)
Hmmm? When I was trying various places to boost I thought that you may be able to use it just before the left-hander before the loop - missing a bit of the corner - BR - landing and using the speed to BR again into the loop, Obviously didn't do it, but it's the thought that counts isn't it. :DQuote:

Link now up in previous post.
Haha, that's exactly the boost method I tried to do yesterday KGB (I failed but it's defs there somewhere) :D
Great minds eh?
If anyone can ID the song in my video I'll give you a cookie, I'm desperate to know what it is :)
Kgb and Yeldar, i tried too to boost before the loop (in the chicane) and even with a little shortcut+a BR using the boost + a 2nd BR hiting the pad and landing on the loop it seems slower than a simple boost/BR in the loop :eek
Maybe a BR at the end could be advantageous, but not easy at venom speed !
Nice vid as usual Yeldar ;)
Sorry for a mistake, i only did 3 BR's in my TT :)
I use the same method as you guys. In a loop I boost a bit later with nose up. Boost after the loop isn't advantageous as you loose too much time in the loop.
Hey, is it venom speed class? Video says flash...
Sorry, my mistake...will change it. Thanks for pointing it out phaeton :)
My first lap with a boost BR I got 33.37 (10SP - 2BR - Goteki+). Only did 12 laps this time round. Gonna have a proper (marathon?) session later this week and won't stop playing until I kiss the apex out of the boost BR on the first corner. :+
Saw your post and realised I had to beat your time, Rezatron...
64 laps, only managed about 6 boost-BR's on the start line, 3 which went into the wall and the other 2 I somehow stuffed up by not BR'ing going into the loop (which never happened except for those 2 attempts), and every time I said I was going to give it a rest after this lap, I managed to do a damn boost-BR at the start line that made me keep going. And then I finally sort-of nailed the last one :P
33.16, 10 pads, 2 BR's, fury goteki
Could improve a little bit, but I think, unless you beat this time, I'm going to give it a rest for a bit :P
Nice work amplificated, very impressive time :)
I just stole an inch from DP89
34.13 - 9 pads:( - 1br - fury
Gonna try now for that boost-br @ the start
Another interesting rivalry this week Mietepiet ;)
new time 0.32.94 10 speedpads 2brs and loads of sideshifts,
cant see me getting much more off this, maybe .20 at the most,
i found it easier wen i did a lap in icarus so had a decent ghost to follow, i can almost keep up with it too but gets away at boost.
Do you mean 33.94 brainbeat, or 32.94?
Brainbeat's pretty good, I'd imagine he meant 32. Which has made me want to beat 33 now. Currently on 33.07...
thats no typo :) ill upload a pic if i dont improve
Got 33.76 - 2 BR - 10 SP - Fury.
I think I can do better, we will see. Had a go at time trial in preparation for next week with same ship, speed and track managed to get somewhere near the top ten as it stands. Looking forward to the start of it, it can only improve my skills.
I can't do the boost BR - it's just impossible for me.
brainbeat - excellent time, just thought I'd check it because only a handful of pilots can beat yeldar ;)
a tip for boostbr, imagine its a dolphin jumping out of water, pitch down then up and boost as soon as crafts nose is up, i get everytime now, i did struggle though untill i figured out the timing, Thanks rezatron for the tip didnt know was possible to force craft of flat track
Did a quick run yesterday: 33.22 (10SP - 2BR - Goteki+), can improve, some bad lines on that one.
I better get my ass in gear, y'all haven't heard the last from me this week ;)
For some reason I find getting a good place in Speed Lap Venom much more difficult than Flash or Rapier. Perhaps more attempts have been put into Venom compared to the Flash and Rapier classes...
new time 32.67 8 speedpads 2 brs, im onto something
only 8 speed pads? what are you up to? :eek
lol, ffs why youtube why, its like it wants to mock me, i should really check them afterwards, thought because i was in edit mode it was suppose to run like that, gonna have to find a 3gp cutter then ill upload to megaupload or sendspace
LOL
You make the worst videos ever - didn't you submit that upside-down video for TDR(R)?
This one is getting 1.5 frames per second so you can't tell what you're doing, and you left about 30 seconds worth of video there that you didn't want anyone to see.
sorry to sound harsh, it's just funny
Whatever Brainbeat has found (would love a good video) he's breaking all/most of the speed lap and TT (I think) WRs! :clap
Oh yeah, I got caught up with the video...
awesome time, brainbeat! :P
well ive managed to split it and i reuploaded an avi conversion, low and behold youtube flips it upside down, gonna retry one more time cos i think there encoder is glitchy, if not ill upload to a host site tommorow, its still low res but u can get the idea from the video, it plays smooth on my end, just looks very small lol, oh and it wont work on tt
even metacafe messes it up http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4K38PGXS
It's still pretty hard to see what's going on, but it seems that's some crazy **** right there.
I'm guessing that's something that will be patched in a future update... but still, interesting find!
Maybe try recording it upside down - then youtube will flip it the right way lol
@Brainbeat and the other pilots on this thread !
Hmmf, so this glitch is usefull at venom speed ! :(
I know that problem since month (and other top pilots too).
There's other glitches on this game, i know atm 7 races where it's advantageous !
I'll not give you the corrupted tracks (yes Sat i use "corrupted" intentionaly), i don't want some members or guys that comes on the forum could use them, like lot did with the anulpha zone glitch !!
I can name 2 : moa reverse and sol2 forward where it's obvious. An average pilot (no need to name him you just have to look at the official boards) beat with more than one second the sol2 experts like Pirahpac and Phaeton and that on all speedclass :eek, is he uberskilled ? :rolleyes:. This glitch as all the others (like moa r, like talon r...) is random, so NO SKILLS INVOLVED in it, and a BIG FRUSTRATION for pilots that loves sl/tt contests.
just look at this old thread i created one year ago and i hope you'll understand how using glitch can totally wipe the interest on the game :
http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5527
2 things annoys me on that :
First : a lot of people here where totally upset about the bsb, but not a word on glitches like the moa's one :rolleyes:
Second : Instead of trying to correct ONLY the bsb tricks (they fail it still works) i'd REALLY REALLY REALLY prefer SL corrected those issues of no respawn and no collisions at various places in the game.
SL did a great game with wohd, but it seems that we have a beta version of it. I suppose sony oblige their studio to release the game at a precise date without time to fix all the still remaining bugs. I prefer believing that, but who may be the responsible, it's a SHAME, really ! :(
Lot of people plays less online because of adds, but now if all glitches are used to play offline, i know several hardcore gamers that will simply stops playing wipeout hd !
