couldn't resist a quick sesh :g
1.33.76 - 36 pads - 33BRs - Assagai
Method I used
(possibly) The method Saturn used
yeldar that's insane! I only managed 1.38.80
1.37.38 - 35 pads - some BRs - Fury Assegai
I used the old fashioned method for now because I suck at the other one. Might have another go tomorrow night.
I have photos too, so will post them if I end up in a good placing.
1.37.43 32 speedpads yeldas method but not perfect lol, fury assegai
Close one between you and Saturn, brainbeat
I fail at Phantom... and Vineta K :(
can't do any BR's with high enough consistency... plus my boost location fails sometimes and gets too much hang time (doing it at the end, I haven't been able to do that double BR yet).
atm my time is 1.37.91, but if I can pull off a few more BR's that could easily be broken
1.37.65 for me. Just can't get that double BR before the first tunnel so this is old school as well. It won't get much faster unless I change where I'm boosting. Yeldar is a bit quick here :+.
I'll give it a go with the classic method and see what I come up with :)
Just for ref, is that boosting in the middle or at the end?
I did it at the end.
EDIT:
After 2 attempts with HD Assegai I got 1.36.85 using the pirahpac method that yeldar used in his video. I found HD Assegai much better for this as it seems easier to get the air at the end of the lap to do the 2 BRs. Again, I have no idea how many BRs I did as I missed half of them, but it was still a fair bit faster.
Using the method where you boost at the end, it is actually possible to get two BRs if you keep the ship low enough, hit the pad, and bounce+BR after it. So that would be 5 with an old school method. Or boost in the middle and do the two at the end without the boost and it's still 5 I think. Didn't someone (leungbok?) do a video ages ago showing a BR right at the start of the lap without a boost?
Yes you can grab a BR at the start of the lap, actually there are two places but I'm not sure you can do both in one lap. I'll have a look for Leung's vid in a mo.
Having said that I reckon it'd be a much harder BR to perfect than the BoostBRBR at the start.
Edit: Some BRs on Vineta courtesy of LeungBRbok
Hmm maybe I'll try using the HD Assegai and see what I get. Only a slight improvement on my Fury time - 1.38.18
Well I couldn't get the consistancy to improve my 1.40.47
A nice turnout for the first Time Trial week - thanks guys :)
Week 2's criteria are as follows: TIME TRIAL/SOL 2 (FORWARD)/RAPIER/HARIMAU
You guys know the rules so I won't bore you with them again ;)
Ok 1.31.24 26speedpads 8 br fury harimau
p.s undercutting the fin is so fikin hard, dont try on last lap lol. I did under on first lap
1.28.60 - 28 Pads - 7 BRs (grrr :P) - Harimau
WR according to the (non-updated) boards.
1.29.44, 28 pds, 6/7 brs . i didnt cut under the wing, kept respawning.
I bettered my vk time too, didnt get around to posting 1.37 on the dot with lots of missed brs assegai hd . I hate that track :twisted
Yeah the wing-cut thingy is dead hard and the wing-cut thingy with 2 BRs is impossible - I gave up on that a looooong time ago :lol
lol so if im doing the same way theres 2 secs in better lines ha ive already scraped time of to get that lol, not in 2 speedpads anyway:)
I got a 1.32.x can't remember exactly, but managed to boost on the shortcut every lap. However, it's really sending me high in the air, really need to keep the nose down (can you still make the jump if you do this?)
Managed to get 4 perfect laps but missed 2 of the stupid BRs off the tight right hander, I'm going over the wing at the moment as I keep respawning under it, has it been changed in a patch?
1.30.94 - 26 pads - 6 BRs (Double grr) - Fury
No it hasn't been changed in patch, you can still do a double under the wing.
My best Icaras+ time is 1.29.00 with TarotCardKiller/Wellington method (boost at start/finish line). Gonna try Harimau tonight.
No KGB it still works but you have to be insane to be able to pull it off.
Over the wing = win (for the time being) :g

1.31.01 25 speedpads 8 brs
Nice one mate very consistent safe method:P
Wheres the double?
never got 1 in on that attempt think the ghost got 2 brs, goes under wing but cant remember
New time 1.30.62 28 speedpads 6 0r 7 brs, definitely missed 1
You can double BR over the wing too. Use your boost a bit earlier, fly over the wing and you should land soon enough to do second BR.
Check brainbeat's video, he was close on 4th lap.
Not sure is it faster :)
1.30.49 25 speedpads 8 brs
yeah i have managed to double br over wing but just playin safe for now i allways seem to mess up whenever im doing perfect start. u can also go lefthand lip to lefthand lip get 2 brs then turbo round the next turn and get an extra br in, i reckon its same time if line is learnt
Ok, just got a 1.31.86 but there's still room for improvement as I missed a couple of speed pads and barrel rolls
Managed to scrape about .5 off which is a lot really.
1.30.34 - 8 BRs I think - 25 pads - fury
1.30.14, 27 sp's, 7 BR's
Had a pretty bad last lap, missed a BR and had some bad lines... I'll try to beat 1.30 later
1.31.43 - 24pads - ?br
1.29.95 9 or 10 brs 28 speedpads, about a million attempts
1.29.08 - 28 pads, 10 BR's :D
EDIT:
1.28.30 - 29 pads, 10 BR's
I gave up double BR under the wing on last lap :)
Nice work, I'm really gonna try and beat you this week - don't know if I actually can though ;)Quote:

will take a pic if i don't improve on this one: 1.27.5 well within reach...nightmare 3rd lap :bomb
I'm now going under the wing but not 'going' for the double
...will try to film my next run :)
Can't believe this, my previous time was made after about 6 attempts, and since then I've had about 50 and all I've come up with so far is 1.30.04.
I can do the whole track better but my consistency has been atrocious, I keep on crashing out in a big way whenever I'm in front of my ghost...
I've got consistency issues as well - I know that I can beat my time, but I either miss a BR or crash into a wall :(
Nice times everyone, good to see world records broken as well as people improving their skills
A reminder: The criteria for this week are as follows: TIME TRIAL/SEBENCO CLIMB (FORWARD)/FLASH/FEISAR
In a few weeks, I will be letting you guys choose the criteria for the Christmas and New Year weeks. Think of it as a celebration or something along those lines :)
