http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/sho...4&postcount=14 - According to this guy you gain higher rank by beating players of higher rank than yourself. So unless he's wrong Wipeout has the same system as SF4 Any official input on this? Paul? Colin?

This could be useful if it was done the right way. Before Fury came out, I found that I mostly got the 3 same badges in most of my races, either Speed Pad Hunter, Fastest Top Speed or Fastest Lap. This doesn't necessarily mean that I'm a fast racer. It's all about finding the perfect racing line so that you hit the most speed pads as well as getting as many pickups as you can. And the Fastest Top Speed is easily achieved by timing the use of your turbo together with either a barrel roll and\or a speed pad. So I wouldn't say that the badge system gives a very clear indication as to what kind of racer you are up against since 2-3 of the badges usually comes before the other. I'm curious as to which badge is decided upon if you meet the requirement for more than one badge. Is there some kind of priority system involved?
