Batman PSP has me wanting to buy a proper vita lego game. I'll try and resist because I already have batman 2 and LotR on PS3. Feels nice on vita though..
 

Interesting, I saw this post after I failed at getting it for awhile, but had to go to bed because of the wife yelling haha. Hoping to finally knock it out tonight, I want to get that before I do anything else in the game. The weird thing is I was trying it without the actual challenge messages, so I thought it was fine because I got the ghost busted trophy that way. I'm going to do ten separate challenges so I have absolutely no chance of wasting my time.

I can tell you the easy way to do it, but it's the last time I feel like typing this shit out. ;)
It's pretty much foolproof and some of the other GAFers in here have used it successfully.

let me see if I can find one of the posts where I give instructions... watch for the edit. I'm too lazy to type it up again. searching might be quicker.

MEEEEEEEEEEE! said:
You go find an event where you think you can beat the next lowest time and note the friend's name; then you go to your pit wall and press triangle on whatever entry shows for that friend -- this will give you their user profile. You highlight their time on the track you wish to challenge and you press x or whatever to start. Beat the time and you'll get a message to that effect, quit out, go find the next time.

If you do this on a track where there are two times decently close together, like 35 and 36 seconds, if you challenge the 36 and can do it in more than the 35, like say 35.2, you can exit out and then challenge the 35 next.

Or if you have a friend that wants to do a slow time for you on a track, they can dog it and send you a challenge when finished, then you can repeatedly launch that challenge and beat the time.

This is how I got that trophy since it was taking forever to get anyone who wasn't a fucking pro to send me a challenge. :)
Alternatively, you can get someone to do a slow as hell easily beatable time on a track and send it to you as a challenge... then you just repeatedly accept the challenge and beat it.
I found my way was pretty easy though and I know others have used it and it's much less of a hassle than trying whatever the hell involved multiple accounts and cross platforms.

For Mortal Kombat players - who's the quickest fighter in the game?

You see I'm not a fighting game guy usually, but I'm trying to get into them a bit more - VF5 is still the one fighting game I genuinely love. The characters they lumped me with in the tutorial were so slow and unresponsive, it kinda turned me off straight away. But I figure a quicker fighter would help. I tried one of the women (cuz, y'know, tropes) and it was a bit better, but I can't be bothered to test each character. :p

Anyway I'll try some online matches and see how I do. No doubt get crushed >.<

Go through the story mode. You end up using practically everyone.

Jade.
Mileena.
Kitana.

They're all quick and do less damage, I think.
Not sure on Sindel.
Kabal might be kind of quick, but I'm generalizing because he has the "speed" abilities as his thing.

Go through the story mode. You end up using practically everyone.

This. It's a fun time!

Though if he likes VF5, I can't make any recommendations for him seriously, because that game never clicked for me. The old VF games were a bit fun in the arcade occasionally (1/2/3) but I was turned off of that series when I bought VF4 on PS2 at launch. Then I bought VF4EVO at launch to give it another shot. I have VF5:FS from PS+, but that still doesn't do it for me. I prefer 2D fighters and branch into 3D for Soul Calibur or Tekken and that's about it.

Wow LBP is so fast now! Perfect game.

Playing that Skandra level you guys mentioned earlier, if you haven't already check out "Plastic White"

-Skandra is brilliant, give it a few more enemy types and you have mega man

I'm still needing the 2x bubbles and every other online trophy, so add me if you haven't and you want to do some at some point. :)
Haha sorry you had to miss out yesterday! Kinda feel bad since you mentioned it first but couldn't join us :p I'd be up for another round of LBP though if you want/need more people to tag along; still need to finish that boss level.

Also, count me in for hoping Lumines goes on sale in the next two weeks. Or maybe it'll be part of that mystery flash deal.

Also everyone needs to check out 2D/3D and Shadows.

I've played 2D/3D - very nice, will check out shadows. Plastic White is similar to the concept of 2d/3d but it flips the camera angle instead of dimensions - really well designed and fantastic presentation too.

----nah forget plastic white, has a ridiculous section, makes it too frustrating

Plastic White wasn't good for me. Looked nice, had neat concepts, controlled terrible. There was some jumping section where phantom wind would push me off the blocks and into the electric floor. I quit.
The guy's other level is fantastic though... Rock Mountain.

Yea plastic white has such a great aesthetic, but a little on the tricky side. Shadows is such a great concept that is mind blowing in how it is implemented. You are jumping and grabbing onto the shadows of things instead of the things themselves. There are some cool simple puzzles as well as an awesome use of light and shadow in the second half that I won't spoil for you. :D

Haha I'm pretty sure I didn't complete it either but the concept was so cool on vita! I like a challenge too, means I can go back and play it again - worth downloading etc. I don't remember the controls being super bad but should give it another go before recommending it. --[edit - nah forget it guys, corrsivefrost is totally right, sorry].

Ok awesome, will queue it, and yeah thanks - it's a lot of fun seeing the different stuff they can pull of with the level editor!

Done - for anyone else who wants to queue Shadows:

http://vita.lbp.me/v/h0n7

back to working down this boss, - finally :) I'm glad it's not actually like mega man, would have had to restart loads -smart dev - those want to get better runs get rewarded with higher scores - perfect for lbp.

Jumping into levels..so fast, so grateful - will end up playing it a lot more. Wish it was like this from the beginning..but so glad they kept improving it.
=-=-=-
Now I remember the bridge (5 seconds into the game the memories came rushing back) - yeah fuck plastic white. It was because of the depth switching and a tiny platform...let me see if I can do it..nah not worth it lol. Shit, I recommended it quite a few times too, nice concept at least.

--also MK is actually not that bad lol (after how much I complained months ago), even texture wise (well at least SubZero looks alright), I was expecting worse, gameplay (not fps) feels slower than I remember though - I don't play that much MK to be fair, might just be remembering it differently. - ok some guys look quite bad. Still, fun! (and free..always weighs in). - I think they knew so many people play subzero mostly, just look at the live area wallpaper hah.

The other levels by that guy are awesome. I played and hearted them both.
The wonky invisible forces in the Plastic White make it unplayable to me, but it's worth seeing the aesthetic and trying the r stick to rotate.

MK is the same speed on vita as it is on the consoles (60fps) and people only look excessively terrible when they have excess hair (Sindel), or raw muscle textures (Johnny Cage).
The controls and gameplay are spot on though, so if you like MK9 (I did) you should like the vita version. I really want all my fighters digitally, so I'm still waiting on MK Vita (DD) to get a sale or become PS+ here in the west.
The only one I'd be missing then is BBCSE but I'm not inclined to buy that digitally since CP is coming.

So, let me get this straight... I was doing exactly this, but with my two accounts. I set a lame time with my main, challenged+beat it with my second, went back to my main, hit triangle and hit x on that time to challenge it and beat it. Wait.... When I kept beating it, I kept getting around the same time. Do I have to keep getting incrementally better times, during those ten challenges?

Play and refresh! Oh would have been nice to do secret santa, hopefully next year for sure won't blow all my money on myself. I'm screwed in a few days - still haven't done any shopping, will need to sell some stuff :(

PS3 games lol. No need for them anymore.

Let me know when someone beats my hi-score (1 million I think). I also want to get back to motorstorm RC - will check out some of your speed laps, didn't play it much as didn't really have anyone to compete with at the time :/

ALSO lol@pure chess xmas bundle ratings, serves him right for being such a scrooge though imo.

You can only beat the same challenge once. As soon as you've beaten it, the other account needs to beat your main accounts highscore before you can trophy challenge it again with your main account.

I'm at work and playing Vita games as the same time! Sound Shapes FTW

They must have patched it then. I did a bad time, and then a slightly less terrible time on my brothers account and challenged, and then beat that same challenge repeatedly

I am translating for work and beating some Motorstorm times in the meantime. Someone else on my friends list stole 2 highscores in the first world from me, which needed to be corrected.

That didnt work for me at least. I needed to improve the time on my other account in between to get it to work.
 
I brought it up a long time ago, but am I alone in feeling the community levels have a sharper image quality and generally a better aesthetic than the story levels? The story levels I felt had a instagram feel to them and had a weird bloom effect on most levels, not so with a lot of the community levels.

Could just be me, but I am always floored by community levels a lot more than the story levels.

I'd want to be top of my friends list, but that one guy on my list on drugs kinda makes me lose motivation. Still I'll take on all challenges!

When did you try the pitwall trophy? For me is was within the first week of the game releasing


Oh and Schlobeth. Do this. Play on the Vita with your account and your secondary on PS3. That way you can respond to challenges really quickly. Just do a lame time on your secondary account. Challenge. Barely beat with your main. Then again barely beat with you secondary. Challenge. Repeat

Doing it on Vita and PS3 at the same time makes it miles faster.

Did it... hmmm.. maybe 1-2 months after release? Something like that. And I agree, using a PS3-Vita combination makes this challenge rather easy.

That pitwall trophy can go kick rocks in traffic while covered in gasoline trying to light a match.

I find the "Reach an Elo of 2500" in Pure Chess more insulting tbh.

Or the 8 hours waste that are the MP trophies in AC:L.
