    How hard are the DLC tourneys to Platinum eh?

    i was looking through what i'd got left to platinum last night. no tracks, a few skill games, World Championship and... whoa there horsey... every single DLC tournament!

    i have a top 70 place in the tourney with Pro Speedway, Smelting Hazard etc in and i think i'm about 5 seconds off platinum...

    so basically, i reckon the platinum times for the DLC tourneys are just a tad harsh. and having Isabelle as the last track in Ultimate League is a nasty trick. all that dropping you have to do makes it easy to fault. and the very start of the track gets me every time as well

    just wondering if anyone else is finding them easier than me or whether they agree they are harder than the originals?

    PS. i'm not asking for UE-esque changes cos i know i'll do it eventually.

    I don't have a platinum on a DLC tourney yet either.. but I dunno if they are harder, or it's just me not having the patience to go back through them again. I figure the one with Pro Speedway and Smelting Hazard will be my first platinum tourney unless the patch hits soon and I can do Proving Grounds.

    I also don't really play the tourney with 1-Bit Trip in it. So it's probably just me.

    i dont want to knock u ben cause your higher than me lol but i think the reason your 70 is because there is no real competetion on dlc... im 137 but none dlc 211 and ive played that a LOT more. so thats why were all high rank but few plats i think

    true. i don't know how many people have even actually played that tournament, let alone platinumed it. i'll have to check.

    I've got gold on all the DLC tourney but to be quite honest I pretty much despised doing them.
    The first one has Spacestation in it which I hate, and the others all have tracks that i don't particularly like.
    Pro Speedway is just too hit and miss and if you mistime a jump by a nano-second the rest of the run is screwed.
    Junkyard had the spinning platform, 1-bit Trip bugs me so all in all I don't really have the desire to play through those tracks again. i got sick of them trying to get the platinums and have to do the tracks in succession just doesn't appeal to me

    actually euphoric, when i think about it that's pretty much the main reason i've not got above golds on these. i'll play a tourney once, get shafted by some physics object and then not wanna run through again. compare this to, say, underground cup where i played it over and over trying to get that platinum. and i enjoyed it too.

    so maybe they aint too hard, just too... frustrating.

    the most enjoyable tournament from the DLC imo is the midnight club, just cos it's such a challenge and there's zero physics. i reckon i'll plat it before i plat ultimate league

    Yeah I know what you mean. Underground Cup was a pivotal point in our on-going battle and was good fun to finally 0 fault and get platinum. Even though sometimes on the loop on Dynamic range the platform never broke and I smashed my face on it, and the barrels on Unfair Bombardment nailed me a few times, I never really felt like the track was deliberately trying to screw me over.
    The DLC tracks have a little to much randomness for my liking

    i'm still trying to 0 fault World Championship you know!
