The idea of 8 people in a room is a good one, and I'm sure all of us have had the pleasure of racing against seven other skilled and mature pilots. But as with all online games, WipEout HD Fury has its' problems. People with poor connections, using up bandwidth... all regular internet problems result in lag-ramming and a generally unhappy experience for some of us.
The 1-on-1 Challenge is designed to allow pilots to have quick, easy-to-stomach battles against individual racers, cutting down on the time it takes to find more opponents and actually making Modesto Heights marginally safe to race on. The idea came up after knockouts from kanar's Avalon Cup wanted more matches, and I offered to provide. Any questions regarding this thread can come to me - I will forward it on to the relevant parties if need be.
With the niceties out the way, lets' get on to challenges. ;3
----
Read THIS first before setting any challenges.
- Anyone in this thread may post a challenge to another in the Avalon 1v1 style, or put it out for someone to pick it up. To re-cap, the Avalon 1v1 matches are in the following format:
Player 1 chooses 3 rounds
Player 2 chooses 3 rounds
Both players race Sol 2 Reverse in a Rapier Race, Weapons Off, Barrel Rolls Off
- Players may choose any configuration for their matches, but the same track may not be chosen more than twice in any direction.
- For Zone Battle, the following limits apply:
max target 50 : Pure 4 and Anulpha Pass
max target 45 : Vineta K and Moa Therma
max target 40 : Metropia and The Amphiseum
max target 35 : Modesto Heights, Tech de Ra, Sol 2 and Ubermall
max target 30 : Sebenco Climb, Chenghou Project and Talon's Junction
- For Eliminator, the maximum points value is 200 on any track.
- You must post all your tracks and your chosen ship when you set a challenge. You must adhere to this craft throughout all the events. Bear in mind to identify whether it was an HD or a Fury ship.
- Challenges may be sent to a particular user via private message, but a copy of it must be placed here with a GREEN heading. For example:
I challenge <Subject Name Here> to an event!
I will fly the Fury Piranha
My tracks will be:
Phantom Race @ Anulpha Pass Fwd, Weapons On
Phantom Race @ Moa Therma Fwd, Weapons On
Zone Battle @ Tech De Ra Rev, Target 35
- Otherwise, you may choose to offer yourself up for a challenge with an ORANGE heading. For example:
I await a challenge!
I will fly the FEISAR HD
My tracks will be:
Phantom Race @ Ubermall Rev, Weapons On
Phantom Race @ Modesto Heights Rev, Weapons On
Zone Battle @ The Amphiseum Fwd, Target 40
- You and your opponent must try and finish all events set. If time constraints are a worry, play until one person wins four matches, but if you have the time, try and get them all done.
- Though not necessary, try opening a chat with the one you're racing for politeness' sake to keep in contact. It also allows you to easily chat again if need be.
- Keep to the colour scheme in the post a few below. A Pink vs Purple match will be assumed to be a Icaras vs Qirex match, points awarded accordingly.
- Post your results of your match to the thread in the following format (all races are simply for demonstration purposes):
Challenger #001 (Assegai HD) vs Challenger #002 (EG-X HD)
Challenger #001's choices - ??? Hosting
Vineta K Fwd, Venom Race, Weapons On: Challenger #001
Anulpha Pass Fwd, Flash Race, Weapons Off: Challenger #002
Moa Therma Rev, Phantom Race, Weapons Off, Barrel Roll Off: Challenger #001
Challenger #002's choices - ??? Hosting
Chenghou Project Rev, Rapier Eliminator, Target 250:Challenger #002
Metropia Fwd, Zone Battle, Target 25:Challenger #002
Sebenco Climb Rev, Phantom Race, Weapons On: Challenger #001
Standard Race - ??? Hosting
Amphiseum Forwards, Rapier Race, Weapons On: Challenger #001
4-3 to Challenger #001
- Be sporting and thank your opponent for taking the time to have a race, even if you didn't win. ^^ The whole point of this topic is to bring back the idea of friendly racing from the faceless mess that the PS3 makes of online gaming, after all.

With a lot of confusion about what the seventh event is going to be, allow me to clarify. It is from now on going to be
