I've gotten a lot better since I made all these webms, one day I'll go back and fix them all.

I played these games when I was a kid, but I've been seriously playing the original trilogy for about 3 to 4 years on-and-off.
Wipeout is less about reflexes and much, MUCH more about track knowledge and ship knowledge. Tracks in wipeout are hard and aren't afraid to throw blind/sharp corners at you, but once you know where everything is, it all becomes muscle memory.
Knowing how the physics work is the absolute most important thing. When to apply airbrakes, how to apply them, and where to apply them, is something not only extremely important to learn but also varies from ship to ship. It's all just a matter of practice, I'm total shite at any FPS, especially multiplayer, reflexes are helpful in wipeout but not essential.
Personally, I would reccomend looking into reverse/opposite airbraking if you haven't already. You probably already do it instinctively at times but it's worth knowing about.

I much prefer the ship handling in the SE, but the extra tracks are pretty bad though, they picked some of the worst 1 tracks (terramax, really?) and the completely fucked the lighting on the 2097 tracks. It being PAL only is also pretty shit.

Well that's pretty obvious to see considering that Pure is probably the slowest game in the entire series.
Why did the game with the worst physics get the most content?

/vr/ has webm threads now?
Cool.

I came here to say WipEout 3 SE and found that some people were already discussing it. What a good day, I rarely get to talk about one of my favorite game series.
I prefer WipEout 3 SE purely for the amount of content it has and how it improves the controls from the regular edition. 2097 is a close second, and while I greatly enjoy WipEout 3's style I sort of miss 2097 really dark tracks that give off a really neat atmosphere. This stuff was pretty absent in 3, even going as far to change the lighting in the Classic League re-designs.
