Worst Track/Bike Combinations | Forums

[d0pesheet]

I thought there was already a thread about this, but I couldn't find it. Given that the Bunker can give you some pretty strange combos when it comes to bikes and tracks, what is the worst experience you have had?

I just got Balance Avenue with the Jackal, and it is probably the closest experience I have had to trying to zero fault an extreme track on the console games. The only difference being that this track is obviously much shorter than any of the console tracks. It was very challenging, but I also had fun while attempting it.

Basically any Tier 1 or 2 track with the Phantom. That bike is WAY too fast ( if decentely upgraded ) for those tracks, and I usually fly over the timesavers a lot.

Balance Ave with the Jackal is one I have gotten a lot, and it is one of the WORST! Stilted Path with the Berserker is wacky. I can't think of specifics right now but some of the Riptide matchups I have gotten were awful (I don't like that bike very much).

Any track that I am forced to play with the Jackal. I hate the Jackal and everything about it, the paint jobs, the performance, the way it always gets high centered, it sucks.

Agreed about the Jackal; it doesnt matter what track its on ... it sucks.

Funny; I enjoy Tier3 bikes on Tier1/Tier2 tracks, because all that extra power gives you NEW timesavers others dont tend to use in showdowns. For instance, in Drifter Valley there is a timesaver you can do with an upgraded Phantom (fly over the entire landing after the initial valley). . . .and even with the Riptide I find I can make the original "jump the valley" timesaver there much more consistently.

Has anyone ever got an impossible pairing? Say, the Bronco on Quagmire?

Personally I suck with the speed bikes, so any track with the Bronco, Marauder or Phantom gets a thumbs down from me.

I think some of the ones we would deem impossible to complete are impossible to get too. I have only seen Agility bikes on certain tracks, Berserker only on Quagmire, Mantis only on Hilltop Ghetto, etc.

I'm hijacking this thread because I don't want to start a whole thread for this. I was curious on the global leaderboards, how it chooses what bikes it places you on when you click the names. I still have no idea, but as I was clicking around, I noticed this. justinman114, I am showing you as a Level 1 rider on a zero upgraded armadillo, LOL. What gives?

sometimes it shows level 1 rider, but it's a glitch, exit and go in again, it may change

in terms of 'how it chooses the bikes', it's very simple. for the track leaderboard, it shows your last level/outfit/bike combo, with which you set your last best time on the track. for global leaderboard, it's the same, except it shows last combo with which you set the last personal best for any track

Anything above a 5-5-5-5 berserker on Stilted Path is a nightmare, the power of the bike is too much and you overshoot many necessary jumps that you need to keep from faulting.
