Casual 1-on-1 Challenge Thread

[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)
