Time Trial Challenge: Wipeout HD
You versus the clock.Published: 15:00, 08/09/2010 by Colinbarr66.
34The community team did our best to get things off to a famous start last week with the MW2 speed run, the results of which you can find here. So, on the back of there being many a PS+ subscribers out there, and plenty others with the game besides, we’re carrying on with a little bit of Wipeout HD.
Through some convoluted thinking, I came upon the idea that we all try and do the Beat Zico trophy, but in reverse. (So, not at all, really). So what you’ll need to do is load up Wipeout HD, go to the Race Box, select Speed Run and the Flash speed class (2 stars). Then using the Piranha racer, set your best time on “Anulpha Pass Reverse” over as many laps as you want.
So that’s: Speed Lap, Flash Speed, Anulpha Pass Reverse, Piranha
Once you finish your session, don’t quit too quickly. Bring up the summary of your Friends Times (hit Square twice from the time sheet), and take a pic. It should look something like this:
Note that the time we’ll be accepting is the one highlighted in turquoise (or red with Fury installed), and with the Piranha team logo next to it. In the case of a tie breaker it will be whoever submitted that time first.
Once you’ve got your screenshot, email it to stefan[at]tsa2.org . Put “Wipeout Time Trial” in the subject line and include your TSA ID and PSN ID in the body of the email. The competition closes Tuesday 14th September at 11:00pm, and the results will be announced in the following days. The winner will receive 100 TSA points and a £5 Amazon gift voucher, 2nd place 75pts, and 3rd place 50pts. This competition is subject to our usual terms and conditions.
Here’s a quick hint to help improve your times. Getting used to doing times on all tracks in higher speed classes makes everything else feel slower. So practice at higher speeds, or ease yourself in with some Zone mode. Also, if you’re feeling the Wipeout groove again, we’ll be having a Wipeout meet on Saturday afternoon at 5PM. Everyone is more than welcome and hopefully we can get at least a full party going.
This competition is organised by Teflon.

Bring it on! Since it’s a reverse competition, how about 25 TSA points for the third slowest entry? Can’t remember how many times I won a bottle of crap wine for third to last in pub quizzes, its my only talent

Haha, very nice idea that. Tell you what, if you get 3rd slowest, then you can have 25 TSA points. (This is just for you, and it has to be 3rd slowest…)

Yup. The tips I gave at the bottom are pretty much the best way to get your brain out the way, and just let your consciousness stream from your soul into the cockpit of your racer ;)
Zone mode is brilliant.
Good luck.
