Wipeout HD FAQ

[blackwiggle]

Please do the ZICO walk through before Chenghou.

Reason being.
There is NO NTSC Ghost available to be downloaded at El Habib's excellent site.

It's all PAL versions and none of the USA guys can work with it.

It might kill two birds with one stone.

OR anybody in the NTSC region that has beaten ZICO PLEASE UPLOAD YOUR GHOST!

You might want to have a hint or link to El habib's Ghost site in any further videos

I'll give it a go, been a long time since I did it. If anything I'll just show some of the major tips to beat the time, but I'd like to tag a full lap on the end too.

If I start early enough tomorrow I might have both done

[sh1kamaru-]

that's awesome Hellfire gg for this guide I particularly like your way of speaking, it's very understandable which is something you appreciate a lot when you're not an english native speaker, thumbs up !

Thanks everyone

Moa Therma is now up, and I've done the recording for the Beat Zico video. I've decided to stick to the "traditional" method of beating the time, partly because the tutorials are aimed at the beginner-intermediate bracket and the advanced techniques will probably be too much for them, but mainly because I can't do them myself! I'll mention them in the commentary though

This may be a silly question, but I do want to get this recording right first time and not sound like a twat...

... how do you pronounce Zico?

[djKyoto]

'Zee-Col' ?

well according to my psn buddies there's many ways of pronouncing it...

"master"
"bastard"
"prick"
"asshole"
"god"
"$@#%"

I'd just pick one of those =3

Personally, i lub zico.

Poor guy I hope he doesn't read these forums lol

Mmh, type 'Zico' on this site, and choose a French or US English in the dropdown list: http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php.
That's how I would say it. Colin or Rob should be able to confirm I guess.

Keep'em coming, great footage/tips!

I don't mean to nit-pick too much, though, but at around 3:53 in the video, when explaining the narrow chicane before the second mag-lock section, you're suggesting a right sideshift when too far to the left... surely you wanted to say it the other way around (i.e. left sideshift when too far to the right)...

Or maybe I'm the one that's confused? :X

[eLhabib]

Zico to me looks like writing the word 'psycho' in a cool, phonetical way, so I would assume that it is pronounced the same.

[Hellfire_WZ]

The video is correct. If you take the right hander too wide (for example, if you're going for the weapon pad) you'll exit on the left and you'll need to sideshift over to the right to open up the narrow chicane. It's to do with the approach to the chicane, not the chicane itself. I do frequently mix up left and right, but I'm right in this case

I'm gonna go with djKyoto's pronunciation as that's what I thought it was. If it's wrong, I'll look a twunt, but I'll have fun doing it

[sny]

Ah, right, I forgot about the weapon pad bit... pardon me while I borrow someone's foot-in-mouth device.

Getting into the swing of things now. Videos for Chenghou Project, Metropia, Sebenco Climb and Ubermall, as well as a guide for Beat Zico, are now up. All linked in the first post.

[OBH]

great stuff.

bit of nit-picking, but for the Zico tutorial you forgot to mention sideshifting left after the first 3 speed pads

edit:
if you have any empty faqs, ill help out making some if helps needed

Also thats the first video ive watched of yours without constant swearing!

I'm a bit puzzled about the tracklist, isn't that the Pulse one? My WOHD only shows 8 tracks.. And I definitely miss a few of the tracks not being there in HD :/
