    I see no reason for it not being possible without this brief "leaving the ball."

    EDIT: in fact, I am not even sure that I would succeed doing it that way.

    It means taking advantage of a design flaw or of something unanticipated, although I wouldn't go as far as to say the track creator(s) was not intending this alternate method.

    I have a question. I have not yet tried the Scorpion bike much, but I was wondering if you would recommend it for those three tournaments? Or, if you could comment on that?

    Cheers, from Quebec (too).
    You have to use the phoenix for those tournaments my freind
    Well, my goal is not to disagree, but it seems you actually can too choose the Scorpion one concerning the ones accessible from the warehouse.

    (although you're right that TYM diallows it!)

    Re: 536/536 club.

    If your goal is just to 0 fault the long tourneys, it will probably be quickest and easiest to choose the bike you are most comfortable on. That said, the phoenix is much better for all tournaments you listed (Test Your Might, Ultimate Endurance Challenge, and World Championship). All three have at least a few hard (or extreme) tracks in them, which are easiest completed on the phoenix. Overall, it's fine if you feel more stable on the scorpion and want to run them with it, but in terms of progression and improvement, choosing the phoenix will give you best results

    Hope this helps!

    And welcome to the forum (idk if anyone has said this, but your post count is low, so I'm assuming new <3 )

    Thanks Chaeron; your post helps me taking a distance from the game and thinking. What you said makes sense.

    I think it is hard to control the throttling with the Phoenix. I am in the 530s club, and just starting to learn the correct amount of gas to push in to that engine.


    EDIT: and, thanks for the warm welcome!

    Re: 536/536 club.

    Do you people have some tips regarding the last tournaments?

    At the end of my first faultless runs on both Infernos, my heart was beating to fast that my performance decreased. Often, this makes me fail a track (or a tournament), even if from the last checkpoint to the end normally proves to be easy business.

    It appears that strangely, my organism cannot handle the large amount of adrenalin that is being pushed in. I cannot help but wonder at what it would be like to me to approach a platinum in one of those tournaments. Do you people have some tips? Do you pause the game and take a break, or just go on with it, full-fledged, and hope for a success?

    Re: 536/536 club.

    repetition is your best bet, eventually you get used to the pressure and it doesnt get to you that much. also after the first time you 0 something, each subsequent attempt is much easier.

    I just kept trying over and over again when I was trying to 0 TYM, just as a numbers game I knew I would get it eventually.

    I haven't experenced this yet. I am currently trying to zero-fault Way of the Ninja. (This would get me to 533 medals; a feat I expected to accomplish long ago.) I am now almost consistently getting pass the bridge. I will always fault here and there. Have been to the last checkpoint a few times, but even there, I will go too slow just to be sure, and die a stupid way. Sometimes, stress makes it that I will brake instead of accelerating. I have even pressed the B button once, which made me fail.

    I sometimes wonder how I am making it to the end, and lose my means to such an extent. It almost looks like masochistic behavior. Do I really want to make me suffer? I just want to get this over with, so I can move on to something else (like, being productive in my homeworks). Because as of now, I cannot concentrate; I always have the track in the background of the mind.

    I have platted both Infernos without much trouble; same thing with all of the other tracks. However, almost a fifth of my total gaming time so far has went into Way of the Ninja. Each time the goal is within clear sight, the pressure makes itself greater. I have tried pausing the game and taking a break, then resuming to pursue the run when success is a checkpoint or two away; it only makes matters worse. I just, completely lose my means. And I guess this is part of the whole scheme. It is no coincidence that Jolly Jumper is at the end of the Ultimate-Endurance Tournament; its developers seem to know human dynamics fairly well. You will fail -- that's kind of all there is to it.

    Re: 536/536 club.

    I absolutely cannot believe it: I've platted the WC tournament; and this, in a few tries.

    The hardest for me was Classic, I think -- I have almost faulted it at start, at the leftmost of the last rock before the slope. King of the Hill used to be somewhat of a nightmare for me, but before trying the tournament I have practiced it a little bit, to (surprisingly) realize it does not bother me much now. That said, that which I have a hard time believing precisely is the heightening of my skills. I just did not think I had learned much lately, which in fact seems to have been quite the contrary. The interesting thing is that everything happened without me being aware of most of it.

    That being said, which tournament do you people generally consider the hardest to plat: the TYM, or the (24-tracks) UEC, tournament?

    gratz!

    hmm depends on what you are good at. if consistency is your strong suit, UEC, if you are good with extremes, TYM

    if you are feeling ambitious, 0 faulting TYM is a ***** haha, u can give that a go XD
