The Wipeout HD Cup

[leungbok]

Ok ok, a few did played slow classes without weapons for the cup, it is totally at their credit !
About the difference of gap between top times on slow classes and phantom. It's not only a matter of consistency ! Try my boost BR on modesto fwd at venom speed and try it on phantom, like the triple BR on the left hander of chengou fwd. You just only have one millisecond to adjust your ship for the next trick, no place to rest on the whole lap, like it is on venom or flash. Speed on phantom makes all the track harder to race, not only the hard tricks and advanced BRs, you can lose a pb just by scratching a wall or taking a turn too wide, because as you said you compete for tenths or hundreths. Not finding a trick (off course a difficult one, no doubts about it) or BRs that will allows you to gain 1 second or more on your previous time at slow classes. I still maintain that phantom is harder, and i have a few good sl/tt's ranks on all classes (some top 10) despite i didn't spent lot of time on it.

That said, i repeat that the future winner of the cup will be the best, any speed class he may have chosen. The one with good lines, knowing the tricks, a good strategy and maybe some luck if weapons are involved (but it's full part of the sport) !
And yes, definitively, as Kanar said, videos are now required, we must see the champ on his final line !!
