The Speed Lap Challenge

[phaeton_pl]

Hey guys, this was discussed a long way ago and it's over.

AkFurtif made an unbelieveable time on Moa and he was requested by other pilots to make a video, so he did. I don't think it's possible any more and I don't think anyone is using it. End of story.

Back on topic:

I'm struggling with this week's challenge
No time to be posted yet...

[AG-wolf]

but I know I had for example 3 or 4 times the occasion last night to land at the end of the track, and seriously that stuff doesn't require skills at all. Everyone who's practicing a little at phantom speed can do that, sadly.

I tried it for an hour and I couldn't get it once.... maybe I'm retarded lol

this HD we are talking about here supposedly far better physics then 2097`s physics!

That's just a matter of opinion... I still think 2097/XL had the best game engine of any game in the series, WO3 second.


I'm not really trying to start any kind of argument here, so I hope nobody get's defensive- I just found it kind of ironic that there was such a backlash to what was seemingly a simple little shortcut. It's nowhere near to the degree of some of the other shortcuts people have used in the other Wipeout games (and it's especially insignificant compared to the things people do in other non-Wipeout games for sake of getting low times). I personally don't think it's any different than the shortcut on Chenghou reverse or the one in the Amphiseum (fwd/rev? not sure which) that actually has a trophy for accomplishing. But DP89 sets the ground rules for these challenges, so it's kind of a moot point I guess

no mate lol, sorry I didn't mean that. I've about 7000 laps on moa Rev (like on every tracks except the fury ones -yet- lol, yeah I'm a freak), that's why I'm saying it would be easier -for me- to skip the loop rather than landing properly on the triple speed pad on the mag, and improve my PB. Lots of good points in your post btw, AG-wolf. But this "shortcut" gives you a 3/4 secs advantage compared to the first regular time : compared to the other shortcuts found in HD, it's really huge... Too much track skipping for me.

22.52 - 9 Pads - 1BR - Icaras HD (The real Icaras )

Still a couple of tenths to grab then I'll be at my limit for sure. Phew! Hard work this!

[kanar]

superb time mate!

Hey Guys,
Merry x-mas to you all!!
Just came back from holliday and missed part of the discussion, which one is not legel?
- bypass of the whole loop
- bypass of part of the loop like in the vid posted earlier

gonna have a session right now

[amplificated]

I *think* the complete magstrip bypass is illegal, but the boost-br onto the strip without bypassing anything is legal.

If I'm wrong I'd like to know, because I've used the method shown in leungbok's video (linked to by Rezatron) for the time I posted; and it's the method I've used on this track for the previous speed classes and I never assumed it was a glitch...

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Merry Christmas everyone

To avoid any future conflicts, can we agree not to bypass any of the magstrip?

[brainbeat]

23.08 1br all speedpads, (short term memory problem) hd icarus

thanks darkphantom to clarify, I struggle to get line needed on phantom,

the br is at beginning, u can also do a dolphin br on final straight, i did 1st time i tried it but found it quite hard i think you have to do it early as possible, may be ok 4 tt

[Mietepiet]

23.57 - 11pads - 0br

Damn BR's

[yeldar2097]

So for future reference, this is illegal: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wvGERd6aKI

...in which case ignore my 22.52, I'll do another

[Wotan]

22.72 , 0 BR - 10 pads with icaras HD

I will try the time trial too

[tug_14]

23"01 0 br ( french touch ) 9sp

[XBARNSTERX]

No BRs

[Rezatron]

22.97 - 10 SP - 0 BR - Fury

Will try to improve upon.

[phaeton_pl]

23.04 - 9 SP - 0 BR's - Fury

I will try to improve

[AG-wolf]

23.27 8sp 1br fury

[XBARNSTERX]

Is the BR start allowed? Seen as we can't do this tracks shortcut. Every track has a shortcut, i don't see why we can't use the method leungboks video shows. The boost deserves a BR

[Dark_Phantom_89]

BR's at the start are allowed, it's just the magstrip bypass that isn't

[KGB]

I thought you could BR and land at the pads but not bypass the loop.
