Oh I always use the sticks as i find it easier, i was just wondering if anyone else used the d-pad for the rolls. I think they key to the 3rd barrel roll is to start before you take off. The first 2 are easy enough to do though as you get a fair bit of air time

I think I will try with the stick then tbh. I only switch to the d-pad for the barrel roll part. I just assumed pulling of a Left, Right, Left would be harder with the analogue stick tbh.

Hmmmm... Practice for Tournament or try to beat Zico's time, that is the question :)

I played TheSniperGecko online the other day, I think we are all doomed. He was much better than I even used to be!!! After the 3rd speed level, I start to struggle, big time.

He is pretty good but anything can happen in online WipEout races and a few rockets and plasmas from me will sort him out! :D
 
YES! I finally managed to get the gold in the vienta K time trial (the one in grid 4 where you have to get less than 1.36.50 for 4 laps). It was absolutely doing my nut but i finally managed it. To my surprise only the top 150 times have actually managed gold in this one (i was 142 :D).
 
I'm only on grid three, but I'm getting gold on (nearly) everything at Elite level, so it's taking a fair bit of time.
Great for learning the courses though.
 
Ok sorry for the double post, but i NEED help... Zico.

The situation is, i need to shave 1/2 a second off of my time, and i KNOW that 3rd barrel roll will do it, but i can't for the life of me figure out how on earth he managed it. Anyone figured it out?

Also, i don't have to beat Zico from a standing start do i? If so then there's no chance ever.

As far as the third barrel roll goes, it is the hardest of the four. You have to get right up on the bank. You might think it is too much but sometimes it will stick and give you just enough elevation to pull one barrel roll off. It is hit and miss and you won't get it all the time. But, now this is crucial, you need to hit LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT not RIGHT, LEFT, RIGHT. This makes is slightly easier for you to pull off the barrel roll.

No, it doesn't have to be from a standing start. In fact, the only way to do it is to hold back from using your boost for one lap and use it across the start finish line so that on your flying lap you have a flying start.
 
I'm getting fed up with this online!

Nearly everyone uses driver assist and it totally ruins the game online for me, it's at a case now where if you can't beat them...join them...literally.

I think that why RP and I got wooped by SniperGecko, cos he had driver assist on! :p
 
I was under the impression that driver assist slowed em down? By only using air brakes to correct their steering it is much slower than taking the corner correctly and just feathering the airbrake.


least that's what i thought... :/

[EDIT] Oh and cheers Whappers, gonna give it a rest for tonight, did around 20 laps today and wasn't doing too badly.

Nope, you can basically bomb it around on Phantom and basically just steer and it does all the braking for you and much quicker! :(

You can tell who uses it as they look like they are going straight into a corner then unnaturally veer away without hitting it.
