Post subject: | Platinum Race Wild Tree Fun |
Has anyone been able to get a platinum on Wild Tree Fun race? I've been at it for a few days now, using Psymon as Mountain Champion. I've tried a number of different boards and skis, and I've tried a number of different routes down the hill, but I always end up with a time of 1:14. I saw the master run here that is 1:08, but it didn't result in a platinum medal either. I'm missing the Snow Jam race, Wild Tree Fun race and Compilation Slopestyle platinum medals for peak 1 and I'm looking to get them all. I've tried it with Elise as well, since I have Mac, Elise and Psymon as status Mountain Champion, but I can't get a platinum time with her either. |

At this point I'm not sure it's possible - if it is, I can't image what the time limit is. BTW, welcome Animus! |

BTW, welcome Animus! Thanks Gondee! For the warm welcome. I've been battling this race for a while, I'm gonna beat it eventually, I'm just not sure how. Which reminds me, I need to figure out how to record videos. I was a huge Tricky fan on PS2 and now I have a Wii with only one game SSX Blur. |

Yeah, the Master Run is really good, so if it's not 1:08, then it can't be much faster, because the Master Run is seriously streamlined. I've seen other people ask this question as well and there's never been an answer - which leads me to believe that there may not be a platinum time for WTF on Blur. |

Hmm, I'm skeptical. I have a friend in vancouver that was a beta tester for Tricky. He worked overtime through the summer, most of his job was mastering the courses, trying to get the best possible scores. I wouldn't doubt if there is a way to get less than 1:00 on WTF the way EA beta tests SSX games. But I'm a little discouraged, because I can't beat 1:14 even using the route LLCoolDave uses, I can't get 1:08. It makes me think there is another way. I've noticed on the hill, right before he jumps off to hit those curves and ride the rail over to the tunnel, at about 0:42 in the video. There is a rail there, a tree that is bent over, if you ride that it connects with another rail on the other side of the main track and that leads to the same tunnel by a different entrance. I read your walkthrough on it, saying to stick to the right after the first tunnel and you connect up to the same tunnel that way, but I wonder if its faster to hit that rail, I just haven't been able to do it, I always end up on the slalom losing a lot of time. |

It's possible, as anything is, but saving 8 seconds on that track seems downright ludicrous given my experience - however, I can't say I'm anything close to the best racer, so I'm basing my opinion on my experience. |

So, I played for about an hour last night, trying to get platinum on Wild Tree Fun. It doesn't seem to matter which route I take, I always end up around 1:10 - 1:14. After an hour or so, I got bored and started a new game with Moby, I started off on WTF for the Gold and finished in 1:18. It seems odd to me that I can finish in 1:18 with a character that has never achieved any stat upgrades, but with a maxed out Elise I can only do 8 seconds better. |

I compliment you on putting so much effort into finding out the "Holy Grail" of SSX Blur. It just seems to me that Dave's run is so damn smooth - he took all the shortcuts I had in my mind as well and just melded them all together. You know, that track is in On Tour, did you give the On Tour master run of that track a look? |

You know, that track is in On Tour, did you give the On Tour master run of that track a look? I haven't checked it out yet. I've picked apart this course now and it's frustrating, there doesn't seem to be another route. I just picked up Guitar Hero 3, so not my SSX time is split with GH3 |
