Due to the potential size only the top three times/scores will be updated onto this table for each category, this also keeps it in the style of the in-game score board.
Point to note - When a category's top three is filled up please check to see you're beaten one of them before posting up a new time. Thanks.
Additional note - Players can only have one time in the top three, if they beat their own or others, their previous time will be deleted.
+ the fastest lap time must correspond to the course level - (N)/(H)/(E) it was achieved on.

Re: VC Waverace - Time Trials

for all the fuss about the PAL VC games being slower/bordered etc, I had the NTSC original of this game when it first came back in 1996 & to me this PAL VCWii version isn't a lot different in my memory. Ok it's bordered but it still plays really smooth & quick & those waves are just the best!

Re: VC Waverace - Time Trials

just completed it on Normal Championship, brilliant game still! hence the times aren't that great. The top one however was done in time trials so it is a little better.

Re: VC Waverace - Time Trials

Finished the Championship on Hard & realised the speed up buoys are placed a lot harder plus there's metal spikes etc so I've divided the time trials now split into Normal/Hard & Expert.

You may get you're fastest times in the Championship racing or in the Time Trials section where you can select the Difficultly level, it doesn't matter they'll all be recorded. Just post up!

Hey caz2005 I didn't realise those were your times you'd posted up in the table, anyway I've added them in the main table now along with GavinBs. Thanks.

is this time on the Normal level? or Expect where the gates open up the shortcut? If it's on Normal I might need Photographic evidence!

Re: VC Waverace - Time Trials



Well, I got my camera ready thinking I'll show em'. They don't believe me eh??
Ahem, it wasn't Normal. But, it wasn't expert. It was Hard Mode. It's still a good time though no? I mean, the gate doesn't open in Hard Mode either.

Anyway, here's a new time for Sunny Beach

Sunny Beach time. (N) Caz2005 - 1'22"775 / 0'26"195

Again, sorry about earlier. It was an honest mistake. Off to eat humble pie now.

Re: VC Waverace - Time Trials

Thanks for all those Gizmo 76, you know how to keep a man busy!

Nice to see you've entered the arena CAS but I'm afraid your Sunny Beach time can't be updated to the table, I don't know how to break this to you but it hasn't broken into the top three, table rules you see.

In fact talking of the post ups I think as the table fills up, people should make a note of the top three times in a category, aim to beat one, then post up. It makes the updating easier for me if people have already checked they've beaten one of the top three, then they can post up 'New'! before their time ya see.

Anyway thanks for the inputs so far & good luck!

here's a tip for you if you didn't already know, press accelerate right at the end of the light change & you can get a full power start. The rest is down to sharp turns, squashing waves & maintaining you're speed. Hope this helps.

Yep got my starts pretty much nailed so that I either get full or one off full each time. I also use B to dampen waves and feel that i'm taking pretty good lines. Do you use the R button much, to slide over waves as this is something that I don't really do.

Also are folk tweaking their racers? I've looked at some recommended tweaks on Gamefaqs but even with those settings I seem a bit off. It must just be down to not taking the fastest lines I guess.

I'll only post my best from now , i'll try and beat some of those top times. Such a good game, and the feeling when you have a good, clean, fast lap is up there with any racer out there.

Got to remember where all the little shortcuts are, I was trying to jump when I should of been diving on a couple of occassions, i'm sure it'll all click into place after a couple more run throughs

I don't bother with the slide much atm, I might try it if I'm really struggling to compete but it just seems to slow you down too much. I think maintaining the speed is the biggest part, less slide more straight line speed, oh & the tightest race line, let's not forget that.

I'm tweaking RH atm but I'm not telling exact settings, there's gotta be some secrecy but the tips in the menu tell what bar does what in the custom settings so it's not rocket science.

Anyway GavinB's the guy to ask for tips! how he's getting (DM) to fly round like that is beyond me!

Re: VC Waverace - Time Trials

SUNNY BEACH - (N) GavinB - 1'21"750 / 0'25"952 (DM)
Marine Fortress - (N) GavinB - 1'52"208 / 0'37"034 (DM)
Port Blue - (N) GavinB - 1'54"639 / 0'37"004 (DM)
Southern Island - (N) GavinB - 1'43"948 / 0'31"517 (DM)

My DM is tweaked a bit, mostly for better handling and faster acceleration. I think there's a trick to using 'B' that I'm not quite getting right, but I don't use the slide at all. I haven't played the hard tracks at all, so it might be a while before I have any times for those .
