The Wipeout HD Cup

[OBH]

Haha, ill try
Still as loud as a hoover, I hope the old girl can handle it

[Oryx Crake]

Good seed list I must say. and all of the ones I've raced are also very nice people (not that that really matters on the track) it'll probaly take a few ounces (or tons) of effort to make a name for oneself in this tournament

I'm anxious to get started to say the least.

[kanar]

eh eh yeah you can be anxious, jeez this is way too much emotions for a simple videogame lol. For sure I'm going to practice a bit more this 1vs1 racing in the next few weeks, it's really a control pressure thing (nah of course it's practice first, but stress can also ruins your racing lines eh eh). Anyway that's going to be awesome fun there for sure, and yeah the most important thing is to participate, really. OOOOh btw guys, I had the confirmation today we're secretely followed by SCEE eh eh. AArh sadly no support or anything like that I think (except the online ads errr well no in fact lol, seriously why they couldn't put our teasers instead for god sake), but it just feels good to know they're lurking a bit around! STUDIO LIVERPOOL ROCKS GUYS! FOREVER!

8 SEEDED PLAYER GROUPS SHOULD BE AVAILABLE SOON (tomorrow or monday)

[Medusa]

I'm sooo excited for this guys, it's scary! Especially now that I know the list of seeded players I will definitely lose to...all you others, look out, I'm TNT (watch me explode)!! LOL
This is going to be exciting even just to follow, super cool stuff, and whoever is so fortunate as to record their matches, even more awesome. I look forward to getting my slow train whipped, and you make sure you whip it, whip it good.

[kanar]

oh you're right Medusa, the word is scary yes. I'm actually watching the seeded player list & now I've an idea of their group affectations, definitely the scariest thing ever. And there's a lot more pilots not seeded & wth the same level : OMG that's going to be crazy. From Round 1 to the end, I strongly suggest you guys to record all the races. Cos' we're about to see a fantastic show. By far the best line up ever, without the japanese sadly, & Flashback_Jack lol. One slot left Mike, coooooooommmmmmmeeeeee oooooooooonnnnnnnnnn...

[Szei]

I'm really excited to watch this. Everyone who can please post videos! =) Wish I could take that last spot, but I can only play WipEout at my uncle's and it's a 45 minute train ride to get there so it's not very practical. >.<

[Mr Phlanj]

just thought i would say that when i faced Leungbok i found out i can (and will) use my Mr Phlanj account.

hope its not too much trouble to ask to change it kanar

p.s. also ill add the friends i have on ploppy1988 to MrPhlanj

[kanar]

that's ok mate, just changed it 1st post. Ok Blackwiggle ran the randomizer machine (with the setting "no more than 2 pilots of the same nationality"), and here are the seeded groups of death... Please not there will be another random toss wth the other 24 pilots in each division. No meeting between seeds at least til round 3 .

[amplificated]

Oh god, seeded!

One very small thing I noticed when I saw (AUS) next to a couple of names, aren't Danterich and eLhabib Austrian (AUT)?

[kanar]

lol thanks for noticing that amplificated, yeah don't hesitate guys to help me to correct the nationalities or anything else! tbh all these groups are really scary stuff . Awesome.

[amplificated]

lol yeah, I'm looking at the groups trying to think about which one I'd rather be in and it's really tough; they all look... really tough!

[kanar]

yeah I realised just yesterday night the line up was like the first page of the online boards (minus the glitchers lol) or Connavar ones. I'm about to launch the registration confirmation process, and I REALLY HOPE everyone who registered will participate. It's definitely LEGENDARY STUFF on the paper. Crazy. Now best hopes everyone is motivated by this Matrix trip

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Wow, those seeded groups are REALLY tough - I think everyone is going to have a difficult ride when they have to face off against each other.

[kanar]

oh yeah you make me think about this little precision DP, here's the scheme of the boards :

So yeah a fantastic trip to world of wipeout for everyone, and I think there's about 64 -or more- other pilots who could have been seeded too so woah you get the picture. MATRIX STUFF lol

[blackwiggle]

There are a lot of seeded pilots that newer pilots might not of heard about or have raced before, mainly because they've been "retired" for a good while.

I'm imagining a few "WTF! where did this guy come from?" sort of match reports when some of the new pilots race the old during this tournament.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Just noticed that there is still a slot reserved for a Russian player. Did he ever get back to you about it Kanar?

[OBH]

Oh my days!!!! My group is UNBELIEVABLY tough!

Z1r0rEi, chaos80, kingheim, Myself, Kyonshi, TarotCardKiller, JJPAP & Asayyeah!!!????



I bet JJPAP's poor little face dropped when he saw that

[kanar]

lool good you noticed that, let me tell you the story then. I was curious about this russian tournament organised by silversword, then I made a google search & I effectively found a russian wipeout tournament organised by silversword lol. I let him some more time to come back to us wth a winner for now. Funny story anyway.

[phaeton_pl]

I see myself in a group of death beside Rezatron? LOL Are you serious? I'm really crappy at multiplayer racing, far from top 100

[kanar]

I am into Rezatron board (vulture board). It's maybe even worse for you mate lol, you're in merlin division, wth pirah, wotan... I know I know it's scary. I'm not a multiplayer pilot too... BUT. 1vs1 REALLY LOOKS LIKE OFFLINE I SWEAR IT, just check the logs of the actual avalon cup or the 1vs1 thread.

OH & REMEMBER GUYS :

EASTSIDE = LEFT PART OF THE BOARD

WESTSIDE = RIGHT PART OF THE BOARD

& NO SEED OPPOSITION TIL ROUND 3
