Watching Karl's 25 War A vid....he loves those Phoenix boosts....but when attempting them myself, and checking the clock, they appear to slow me down if anything. The fastest way for me to do this level is just strafe... and it makes 27 a good analogy to 26 Depot agent, difficulty-wise. Thats probably a bad thing!

How do i boost properly? Surely theres only one way to do it. I'm looking right down, firing 3 or 4 in the straight-line segments, clock doesnt like them

Hold the stick up (if you're in reverse mode) when boosting. That's the key.

that sounds a little bizarre....but i'll check it out

wait a minute....are you talking about 1.2? I use cruise my friend. Does that mean i should hold C-up (and not just let go when lookdown is established)? *goes to check*

VITOR I WANT TO HAVE YOUR BABIES!!!

27 WAR A

about 6th try, used 5 of the boosts in the very first section, and nowhere else. But it saved half a second. Ooh this is nice, i feel immersed in this game GE style now

Nice one.

Yeah, I thought you were 1.2

Did it help on 1.1, cruise or whatever? Sounds a little weird to work on that.

Ps. I wouldn't recommend CC on PD.

Holy @#%$

, nice Harvey, i've struggled trying for 27, but i didn't do any boosts. You think cruise helps? I tryed with and without.

Go for 26 and you will get a zillion 27's.

plain 1.1 <<<< all (except for Duel)

the cruise/1.2 trade-off is certainly interesting, though i think 1.2 wins from what i've been told.

Brandon, the final right strafe to the king is a little tricky with cruise because you drift towards him on a longer diagonal route, but with practice you'll compensate for that. Its definitely good for this level

Hmmn, i really dint want to learn 1.2, but i feel i might have to. Damn!

Vitor, i love that logic

time to try for 17 Runway agent

You should post all those question you've got in the wr discussion..Just a suggestion.

hehehe, well i'm not so good as to be trying for the WRs in general - so its actually just PR discussion

I used 1.2 and voila 26 couldn't wait to surprise me.

i think you'll live to 110, and be the last of us to survive - so when on your 108th birthday you finally recapture first spot, therell be no one to announce to

I doubt they'd care being alive as much as being inexistant (ex-existant?).

vitor · « **Reply #14 on:** September 13, 2005, 10:07:00 pm »

Everyone with 0:27 sucks.

Except me.

Not-so-Perfect-Dark · « **Reply #15 on:** September 13, 2005, 11:26:00 pm »

Even I got 26, and believe it or not, I proved it

SpiderWaffle · « **Reply #16 on:** September 14, 2005, 01:22:00 am »

it's nonexistent

Wouter Jansen · « **Reply #17 on:** September 14, 2005, 03:42:00 am »
