The Speed Lap Challenge

[leungbok]

damn ! You guys are becoming hard to beat time after time !

[KGB]

Haven't done this for a while so had a quick go.

29.47 - 10 pads - 2 BR - Fury. I took .5 off my best time previously on the 10th lap. Got to be happy with that .

29.07 / 10sp / 2br / Qirex Fury

[amplificated]

had a quick go

29.17, 2 br's, 10sp's

there are a few spots where I reckon you could get enough air to do a 3rd BR, but they're all incredibly difficult to capitalise on. I reckon you could with a right SS on the corner before the tunnel for the boost, and the same thing at the end of the last tunnel just before you exit - maybe. Could definitely get another br going on the right if you could pull it off there. But yeah... both locations would be next to impossible to nail.

[KGB]

Got my time down to 29.36 I think.

My time from yesterday hasn't updated on the tables yet which is the first time since I started doing the comp, no one else's is on there either.

There seems to be a massive delay going on with scores (not -,-) appearing on the leaderboards. Scores I set a week ago are yet to appear, lol.

[Challenger #001]

Had a quick bash at this, might come back for some more later, especially once all the new recruits start beating me. XD

31.24, 1 BR, 9 SPs
This would be easier if I could BSB...

[yeldar2097]

No BSB necessary

Just a simple ND(N)UB

[Jav]

Nose down - nose up BR?

[yeldar2097]

Replace BR with Boost and you're there

Otherwise Vineta K Speed Lap would get dead complicated. NDNUBSBBRBR

[Challenger #001]

Wait, I think I must have BSB wrong then. Doesn't it stand for Before-Start-BarrelRoll?

[Dark_Phantom_89]

No, it stands for "Boost, Select, Boost."

Basically, before your attempt lap, you boost high into the air. Then whilst in the air, you cancel your lap to get another turbo and boost again - you go flying over the line and get a big headstart.

I don't encourage it for the SL Challenge though.

[KGB]

No one does it anymore do they?

[Aeroracer]

it still can be done but its a bit more difficult to do now as there is a timer on the lap cancel button.its still probally done by record setters to get that edge need for rank 1.

dont like it myself so i dont use it (cant do it either...)

[UB3R~JKP]

Never even HEARD of that before 0_0 That's nuts man!

[amplificated]

All the top times for vineta k f in particular (like 20+ times), and the top times for moa therma f are all bsb. Can probably be done to decent effect on chenghou project, maybe sol2 f and amphiseum r as well.

the gain on V.K for bsb is huge, and more or less required for top 10 on MT as well for the lower speed classes...

[leungbok]

sub 22 on moa t f is possible without bsb, WR needs bsb !

[Nutcase:259]

Pardon my stupidities but isnt L1 the invalid lap an new boost button? Although BL1B looks a bit funky

i made a time: 30:33 1BR 10SP fury qirex, like 29th or something, happy

[amplificated]

I think it was the 1.3 update that changed the cancel lap button from select to L1

bsb just became the standard descriptor for that method and it stuck even though it doesn't make sense regarding the game in its current state

[yeldar2097]

sub 22 on moa t f is possible without bsb, WR needs bsb !

Likewise Vineta. Top 5 is fine without BSB but higher than that you do 'need' it.

Anyway, enough BSBullshit, slightly offtopic, no? ^_^
