Wipeout HD Competition

[Rossco]

Okay, I've been wanting to do this for a while so hopefully we'll get a decent amount of people taking part.

Weekly challenges in Wipeout HD, points for top so many places being added up over the weeks until the competition ends to give an overall winner. Challenges could be speed lap, time trial, zone, etc, anything like that from the Racebox menu. If you've got any other good ideas of challenges then just say so.

We'll start it off with 5 weekly challenges and see how many people we get playing with that. First one is an easy one on Flash speed to ease everyone back into the game.

Might be an idea to mention your ship as well in your result to see what team everyones using. I've started it off with a quick 15 minute blast today. Could definitely improve on that time as I hit the wall, missed speed pads and also missed some boost spin opportunities

Let the games begin!

Edit 15/05/2011: Decided to award points for first 6 places at 10, 7, 5, 3, 2, 1. Gives the leader a bit of a gap for his awesomeness but also gives points to the crapper people too if we get more players for the 2nd challenge.

A photo of said lap time might be a nice touch too (at least for verification). As I live in Japan, I assume the deadlines are the end of the day, GMT? I know it's probably a little anal!

[Rossco]

Unless people start posting ridiculous times then don't bother with pictures as we're all good guys here and don't expect cheating. Yeah we'll go for end of day GMT but I doubt there will be a mad rush at the end of the day to put a time in before the deadline!

Anyone else getting in on the action?

[SH4R4KU]

True. I'll get a time in asap!

[koopatroopa90]

Right, also with the Assegai I managed 26.35. Had got 26.79 with the Feisar (which is my ship of choice) but decided to have one last go with the same ship as Rossco. I didn't hit into anything so anyone beating me is simply a better pilot!

[SH4R4KU]

My personal ship of choice, looking through my loyalty stats, is Icarus (initially put in a 26:10). I did 5 laps with them, and then hopped onto Assegai. Nice ships; hardly ever used them! I did a couple of laps and then moved onto Piranha, and got my best time thus far. I knew I could go faster with Icarus, so just did another lap.

Assegai ー 25:96 (perfect lap)
Piranha ー 25:85
Icarus ー 25.57

[koopatroopa90]

Lol, clearly I am crap - took me a lot more than 5 laps per ship to get my times, was playing for ages before I even broke 27 seconds!

[SH4R4KU]

TBF I don't think you're crap at all mate! It took longer than I wanted to beat your time

When I moved to Japan, I bought a PS3 here (in Jan) and re-downloaded Wipeout and had a blast for a few weeks before getting a 360. I've neglected it somewhat since firing it up this morning. Racing games have always been my favourite genre, since about 1992!

[Rossco]

So no more takers? I've been too busy to have another shot but will get some more laps done before the deadline to try and lift myself off the bottom.

[SH4R4KU]

Let me know if I need to do some more laps ^^.

[SH4R4KU]

Fancy another race?

[Rossco]

Bloody hell, how did I forget about this! I've been so busy last few weeks sorry guys. I'll do another one tomorrow morning.

[koopatroopa90]

I'm up for it! Hopefully some more peeps will join in this time, I'm sure we (well, me at least) can be beaten!!

[Rossco]

New challenge added on first post. Sorry for the delay!

My lap was a messy one, done about 30 laps and just couldn't get a perfect one at all. So I could definitely knock a second off that if I had the patience to keep at it. But I started to get a headache and had to stop.

Hopefully we'll get more people this time.
