The Wipeout HD Cup

[Rolodzeo]

Hello there! I've been invited through the psn by kanar and I'm interested in joining the fun.

[Oryx Crake]

Welcome Rolo, new guy here to nice to see that more people are joining up

[Koleax]

If there's a slot left, I'll take it.

[kanar]

heey guys, welcome to the cup! good to see you joining. Koleax! Long time no see!

[Oryx Crake]

does anyone know about Challonge? are we using it for the WOHD-Cup? if not it's an easy and professional looking way of keeping score!

http://challonge.com/

theres a link to the site maybe that would be a good way to graphically show the tournament results?

Just a thougt

[kanar]

hey mate, Darkdrium777 is working on a sexy board atm, should be released right on time. So no worries, and thx for the suggestion there, I'll check your link even if we already have a the sexiest board ever .


EDIT : Contacted Oryx cos' when I think about it, if we can access the board on challonge as a guest, in one single clic we could check the results (compared to 2 or 3 more clics for the nice boards here lol). So if there's a free access, definitely worth a try.

LOL Kanar! Bad English? Before I met you I wasn't even aware that Frenchmen COULD speak English And Kat-kun... Don't be too afraid of the rankings....I mean Ã* tt and sl is totally different Then Ã* online weps off race with another fast pilot breathing down your neck Not even speaking of Ã* weps on online race. Strange things can happen there. There are chances for all! Lol .

EDIT: got Ã* message from il_nik he's in!

yeh but kanar has lots more experiance than me though. the original wipeout was 3 months 9 days old when i was born (calculating the exact date to 10th december 1995)

[Dark_Phantom_89]

It seems easier said than done, but it really is a case of practice makes perfect. I was absolutely horrendous when I started out on HD but stuck at it because I was determined to improve. Watch videos on YouTube, learn to master the sideshift and know where the barrel roll locations for each track are. It also helps if you can handle Phantom speed, because then the lower speed classes will be no problem for you whatsoever.

It's always a great feeling to get a high ranking time and this spurns you on to improve even more, at least it did with me.

[kat-kun]

sweet. well i have a long time to improve before the 20th december. hey btw whos gonna see the new jackass (dont know what this has to do with wipEout but hey better ask while I remember)

[SaturnReturn]

Better to ask in the general conversation thread.

[kanar]

lol! go the offtopic discussion & make a thread if you want to talk about that mate. Between you & me & totally off-topic, I'm a Jackass die hard fan lol. I've everything from them, especially the wild boyz series, my fav. Tbh cinemas are way too much expensive here in my town, so I won't go to see it sadly. But I definitely would like to.

[kat-kun]

yeh, thing is i have a rubbish memory. once i need to ask a question i got to ask it ASAP or ill forget

Unfortunately the maximum number of participants allowed on the website is 200. We have 256.
I did manage to make a bracket with 244 players but it won't let me add any more.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Have you asked Luxoflux and spook-21 if they want to participate? Those are two names that I think should be in the cup.

[kanar]

Well Luxo still stays mysterious regarding his participation. Maybe you could send him one more hint to this thread eh eh. I think we advertised spook already too, but like Luxo iit could be interesting to make him a reminder too. Eric contacted peh hok today after I sent him an invite a while ago, and seems like he could be interested now. Now the stuff looks big some people may change their mind, as R3BU5ER said here recently.

well there is a way to get around that though.

Make it 2 or more groups. that would also make it more easily scanned for both competitors and guests.

in any case if it works great if not oh well what are we to do?

[Darkdrium777]

I had not thought of that. Well ok since there will be eight groups on my board there could be 8 on there too... And then one last one for the top eight players (Kind of like what I have setup right now for me.) I guess, if someone wants to try and set up this thing I have the list of players currently (minus maybe one or two) so go ahead.

Oh but wait we don't know who is in what group and facing off against who. Ok so test it out if you like but do not publish it yet because it's not official.

Also one last thing this is gonna be more stuff to keep up to date if people are going to use it. More work for the raptors. But also it will probably be more simple than updating mine (which is a picture and not text like the website.) However mine looks better

[kanar]

Very interesting stuff there. Oryx, if you have time you're free to check all challonge possibilities (like direct link to reports/yt vids). This is how I see the whole stuff in December;

One board here updated by Sat & me, and one board on challonge, updated by Oryx & maybe some raptors who are up to subscribe to challonge (in order to update the board too), for direct cup feedbacks.

However mine looks better

Your board is teh sex

[OBH]

[kanar]
