Casual 1-on-1 Challenge Thread

[Colonel]

I await a challenge!

Fury AG_Systems

Eliminator: 200 limit - Metropia (fwd), Rapier class.
Zone Batttle: 50 limit - Protozo
Zone Battle: 50 limit - Corridon 12.

May not be around tonight but tomorrow evening's looking promising

[OBH]

They may think alike but they don't act alike: last time I saw you OBH you were pansying about in EG-X Fury. No wonder everything was such a fail that weekend

Or you could cave and blame the internet

Andybob will vouch for me; my word there was some wierd stuff going on while playing online with your Tesco's value internet.

Hearing you talk about "being in a position on the track the game doesnt recognise in order to avoid barging" was not an aspect of wipeout ive ever needed to understand before

IDReaper win! Big thanks to him for this match!
I still don’t have sufficient nerves to race 20 laps under top pilot pressure...and IDReaper was reaally fast !!

Congrat to him!

It seems like that mirage ships are spreading like green aliens of “mars attack” and winning all over , please someone stop them lol

[Challenger #001]

+4 for Mirage and +3 for Assegai. It's seriously becoming a three-horse race at the front of the field. I might have to suspend those three from the league for a week or two.

And to all people, I know it might be a little bit confusing despite all my previous attempts to indicate it in the first post and every single race report from about a month ago onwards but please remember, the standard race os:

AMPHISEUM FORWARD, RAPIER RACE, WEAPONS ON, 4 LAPS

Got it?

[Colonel]

For how long exactly? It's just that it might get a bit boring for people doing Amphiseum over and over again...

[Challenger #001]

For as long as I see fit. Given that a lot of people had problems when I tried to switch from Anulpha to Vineta earlier, I thought the more straightforward I make it the better. And is one Amphiseum race going to make you that bored? I chose it because as tracks go, it's a fairly safe one with not too many cheeky BR attempts but a lot more going for it than say Talon's Junction. If you don't like the way I'm trying to organise everyone into friendly matches with a level playing ground, please feel free to leave.

[Colonel]

Oh come on there's no need to be like that, I was only messing

[TwitchySpitfire]

@Twitchy

After my own research, I think I agree with Yeldar... apart from looks, the HD version seems to be both a bit more planted on the ground, but lighter and easier to get into the air and barrel roll. And the sheer height of the Fury version means that cornering in nose cam becomes rather frightening.

After my own testing and speed gauging of the Fury EG-X, I actually like the Fury version more than the HD, though I have to admit EG-X seems to be the sleeper craft of the entire game (this is my own conceptual belief, though). I think I'll have to push the Fury version in some Phantom races and see how I do.

[Challenger #001]

Well, EG-X still has no points, so might be an idea to get a score going. ;3

And Gadaffi, edit your post to remove the high caps please. It's kind of difficult to think you're just being silly when you're bold-facedly making fun of me.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Well I had an absolute shocker of a WipEout night, so I'm going to try and redeem myself.

I await a challenge!

My choices will be:
Metropia Forward, Weps Off
Sol 2 Reverse, Weps Off
Vineta K Forward, Weps On

All Phantom speed and 5 Laps.

[Kyonshi]

I await a challenge!

Please take note that i don't want to do Zone Battles or weapon-less races. I don't mind Eliminator though, and i'm gladly opened to Green Races.

I'll be flying on Fury Feisar.

My tracks:
1. Metropia Reverse, Phantom Class, Weapons On
2. Tech De Ra Reverse, Phantom Class, Weapons On
3. Chenghou Project Forward, Phantom Class, Green Race

[TwitchySpitfire]

What happened, DP? An Avalon nightmare?

[Colonel]

It's kind of difficult to think you're just being silly when you're bold-facedly making fun of me.

The two things needn't be mutually exclusive. Relax dude

[Challenger #001]

Couldn't have been an Avalon weekend Twitchy, not on a Thursday at least.

And Kyonshi, man up. The idea of this is to challenge yourself to new things against other people. If you don't want to choose what the rival is using, then go and accept someone else's challenge.

For one, I was being sarcastic and suggesting he had an actual nightmare. Don't ever suggest someone should "man up," this isn't a dictated community. If you want to go flaunt your manhood, do it elsewhere.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Hehe, I can't seem to sideshift properly and I'm missing barrel rolls that I usually always get. Ahh well, I'll stick at it and try and get through this bad patch.

[KGB]

Maybe a good time to try and take DP down then

[zero3growlithe]

What is that green race

[Challenger #001]

Green Races are Phantom races where only Shields, Turbos and Autopilots may be used. Everything else must be absorbed.

Also, Twitchy, sorry I didn't catch your sarcasm/word play. It's difficult to display it over the internet. :/ And I'm not trying to be macho and controlling on this thread... and if I am it's because I'm trying to run this as smoothly as possible. I like this idea of getting 1v1 matches, and I want to see this thread run nice and smooth... which is why I've put the rules in. If Kyonshi wants to race a specific way with someone else, he can host matches online or challenge a specific person/answer a specific challenge. Kanar set up the Avalon 1v1 idea for each person to play to their strengths, and it doesn't sit well with me to try and block someone from doing what they want to do. You have the right to do three 20-lap Venom races if you want, but I therefore reserve the right to do a 50-target Zone Battle at Corridon 12, my personal hunting ground as it were.

I appreciate I'm not running this as perfectly as it could be, but I'm trying. It'll run better the less you guys stop nipping at me, OK? But if the mods and admins think I'm running this wrong, I'm more than happy to step down and let someone more capable do that. Until then, you play by the rules I set on my thread. Okay?

On a lighter note!

Given that I have a rather special guest round tonight, I thought I'd challenge him to one of these 1v1 challenges... in Split Screen! All races were Phantom, Weps On except for Syncopia and Amphiseum, of course.

Challenger #001 (Fury Qirex) vs yeldar2097 (Fury Harimau)

1) Vineta K Rev: I'd watched Yel do his time trials upon this track forward, but he seemed to rely more on bombs and mines to get by this time. I finished about five seconds behind him. Win for Yeldar.

2) Modesto Heights Fwd: One thing the pair of us forgot - if you die in a racebox race, you stay dead! Yeldar's rather overexuberance on barrel rolls caused a rather pretty explosion, and I sailed on to a win. Bit of a shock to the pair of us, but Yeldar took it like a gentleman. Win for Challenger.

3) Sol 2 Rev: Never liked this track, and simply couldn't keep up with Yeldar. Not even when he managed to boost off the track he still finished eight seconds up the line from me. XD Win for Yeldar.

4) Sebenco Climb Rev: I can't write much about this considering that I barely saw the guy after he BR'd twice over me on the opening chicane. Screenwatching gave me an opportunity to try quaking him, but he shielded. Sorry mate. Win for Yeldar.

5) Chenghou Project Rev: I got the early boost off the line, and managed to Rocket Yeldar going up the hill. Yeldar then fluffed the boost shortcut while I fell off the track at the open section. Yeldar quickly caught up to me and started shovel feeding me mines. Win for Yeldar.

6) Syncopia: If you've not tried playing ZB on split screen vertical, it can be a bit of a challenge. Both of us were hitting barriers we were nowhere near, and missing ones we ploughed straight into. I managed to hit 50, but not after two eliminations and a lot of laughter. Great match. Win for Challenger.

7) Amphiseum: No words needed here, got absolutely mugged. Fair play to the guy, wonderful sportsmanship and a great race set. ;3 Win for Yeldar.

5-2 to yeldar2097

Harimau +5
Qirex +2 (Loved the twitch when I chose this one, Yel. ;3)
