THIS WEEK'S VIDEO: #61

Fatality by Wizzy

This was Wizzy's big track. He really came out of nowhere with a track rivaling ZNF with flow, plus great scenery! I believe it was the first video he posted to IRTL, and it was great timing because it took us all by storm. I recall x612nt13 commenting a gazillion times for lulz saying that the track was awesome in different ways each time. This was a time when people weren't sure how to scene ZNF quirk, and this track proved an excellent example to follow. It received a holy shoe from me.

It may not seem impressive now, but that's because it was the first of its kind - a scened track with ZNF style flow. FlagCapper had released Exotic, STP had released Cosmic Underworld, and BHCS had released Metamorphic. Those were the only tracks that were true scened quirks, and often times they felt like a hodgepodge that was hard to really pull together or required lots of artistical talent. Fatality took this idea and made it clean and simple and fun to watch.

It was entered in ToC2. It easily beat Idiosyncrasy, beat Mission X (by LRG), beat Uncertainty Principle (by RideLiner), easily beat Flashback (by Devray), got into the semifinals, and then, very strangely, was beaten by Uncertainty Principle, which had beaten it earlier. Here are the two polls:



I dunno, maybe all the wizzy fans voted both times and only a few of the ride liner fans voted the first time? To tell ou the truth, I never knew about this until I looked it up just now lol

for those of you who remember it, go ahead and say anything else about this track!

ah-mazing track. I guess everyone knows Wizzy for making this track.

Nice choice, it's been a great inspiration to me!
