god i wish that were me

>>6432361
PENIIIIISHHHH

>>6432361
i always thought that game was really fucking hard
is it? or am i just a retard

>>6432515
it IS a hard game, you need to know the tracks pretty well, manage your boosts and health, AND try to mess up the AI's positions so they don't score that many points in case you're not finishing in 1st place.

>>6432515
it is hard but once you get the knack its hella fun.

F zero gx on gamecube though, that is fucking solid

>>6432361
Wipeout was here.

F-queero is for faggot cunts who enjoy broken shite gameplay.

WOAH
YOU'RE WAY UP IN FRONT

YEEAAAH DA FIAL LAP

>>6432594
Stop falseflagging and making Wipeout fans look retarded, F-Zero fanboy.

>>6433184

It's not falsefagging, ps1 fanboys are literally like this. They always were.

FZX rules.
Drive off the edge with Baba and he does a woman's scream. Don't ask me why

what is he saying

>>6433267
I always wondered what the announcer said during races something like "WOAH WAKE UP THIS PORT"

>>6432361
DWEE
TWU
WUAAM
GOOOOO~

>>6432552

"Mess up the AI's positions" is a funny way to say "murder your strongest rival".

how many nintendo games get melodic death metal in them, lol.

>Drive off the edge with Baba and he does a woman's scream. Don't ask me why
if you get into the interview with him in GX he has the voice of the gayest man on earth

>>6432361
God I love this game so much, I want to get gud enough to beat Master mode but I'm so god damn terrible. I bought this game second hand many years ago at a flea market and someone had unlocked the Captain Falcon comic splash screen for the title art but I remember clearing out the data so I could beat the game and earn the satisfaction for myself. Unfortunately I never got good enough and am only stuck on the expert mode title screen.which is still an achievement I suppose, but I've become mildly rusty over the years. I really need to get my hands on a DD with the F-Zero expansion, but I don't see myself owning one of those for many years...

i just watched redline
it's pretty much if fzero and wacky racers had a movie love child
the animation is really great

Redline is a great flick.
If you want to see an anime that (is rumored to have) inspired F-Zero, check out Neo-Tokyo. It’s a collection of shorts, one of them called The Running Man practically IS F-Zero.

ok falseflagger

>>6433184
Wipeout fans look retarded by default with their bargain bin knockoff. They're like the miswired brainlet footfags of the futuristic racing games community.

OOOOOOOOoooooooooooooo
boom

>>6434506
Makes sense, thanks. More than 2 decades later I can finally hear it correctly now.

How do you properly drive at high speeds without the machine suddenly losing all of its grip? I can manage GX perfectly well, but X still fucks with me

>>6435546
to me, gx is slippier. In X it feels more on-rails to me. I would advise:
turn very gently, start turning before the turn
Use double-tap R or Z "side-barge attack" for sharper turns
Use a craft with A grip until you are fluent.

Also, if you get used to drifting (best done with Blood Falcon and Night Thunder), you actually want a lower grip. I actually avoid A/B grip cars altogether now when I play F ZeroX.

>>6435553
GX has stuff like quick turns which completely negate the poor handling downside of the best machines, along with a bunch of tricks for speed. Also it feels easier to do slight turns on, since you can set your own deadzone, whereas i only have the WiiVC version of X, where the deadzone is kind of weird.
As for lower grip, i know about sliding, but you can't slide everywhere, like the cylinder/pipe levels in particular. I can't properly drive those ever. Speaking of side attacks, what's the proper way to kill with that? Doubletap and then trying to fly into the enemy?

Is it just me or the DD cups are kinda of bad?

>>6435565
you dont need to totally ram enemies. Obviously Black Bull and other tanks are harder to kill. Its easier to kill when travelling from behind your target at high speed, then just gently side-attack as you slip by them. The nose is the weakest point in gx, but in X it doesnt seem to matter as much. Also, getting them at no-edges parts , obviously. Just a suggestion of a shunt should kill most machines.

You cant slide on pipe tracks, no, but desu you should always be winning pipe tracks on FZX because theyre just straight up Maxspeed.
The trick to winning in FZX on Master is to boost at the beginning of the second lap, and save your boosts for the end of the 3rd lap. that should win you most tracks and EVERY tube/pipe (the only thing that can fuck you up on tubes is bumping into another ship from behind, which sucks. If you lose all your speed like that, on Master, you are basically resigning yourself to 3rd place at best, you aint coming 1st if that happens.)

For side-attack turns in FZX, you can also do a variant of the Quick-turn. It works best on Port Town 2, let go of Accelerator, hit Z + R then reposition your craft, do the side-attack for the turn (left if left, right if right, obv) then hit A again and continue on. Its difficult to explain really, and you only need it on that one bit really.

>>6435586
They are amazing for the advanced techniques

Just on the subject of F Zero X, I have completed every Time Attack staff ghost, and its probably the hardest thing I have ever done in video games.
Especially:
Mute City 1
Sand Ocean 1
Sector a

White Land 1 took time to get used to the weird speed side-attack glitch, but once I did I trounced it.
Big hand was also difficult, not for falling off but for judging how to drift the fingers. You have to basically drift-boost every turn and each one is slightly different, i.e. slightly deeper and you have to begin your drifts at different points within the turns.

If anyone is interested, this Polish guys Youtube channel (linked above in >>6434507
) is amazing for FZX strategies.

Bear in mind the game runs differently (faster) on NTSC so if youre playing on PAL its a bit slower and therefore harder. You notice it especially on straight up Maxspeed Time Attacks, eg. Mute City 1 and Silence 1. Which are actually wildly difficult, literally took me years to do them.

>>6435565
>Wii VC Version
IIRC that and the wii u version are notorious for having issues with the deadzones, F-Zero X is a game you should play with the N64 Controller because of the more precise analog, at least that is what most of the pros at this game recommend.

>>6436589
>working n64 control sticks
>existing

Anon i cant justify blowing a ton of money on a steel stick, and i've heard bad things about replacing it yourself.

>>6436596
Even a loosened N64 stick has more precision than using another controller.

>>6436603
My controller got fucked HARD by Mario Party. It cannot even do a full on run in Mario 64 anymore.

>>6432463
this, but jody summers's thighs instead

>>6436512
My neighbour pulled that off back in 99 or so. Also I live in PALland.

>>6436596
I hear good things about raphnet GC to N64 adapters. Not sure if the sensitivity is any good for F-Zero though.

>>6432361
I played this game a lot. here are some of my observations

1)It was a shitty remake of a goat Snes game
2) The only thing that kept me coming back to this game was the level here you had to push everyone off the road in under two minutes. Thats was the most fun part of the game
3) It had a remake on the gamecube made by Sega. It got raving reviews. I played it once and twice and it didn't do anything for me.

It doesn't hold a candle to Wipeout 2097. That version of Wipeout is better than F-Zero on every level. Wipeout should've been a Nintendo staple and F-zero was just psx shovelware.

>>6437087
GX wasn't a remake of X, and X wasn't a remake of the original.
Retarded post all around.

>>6437087
>1)It was a shitty remake of a goat Snes game
Heresy: The post

what's with people screeching about Wipeout in f-zero threads? It happens every single thread, is is just one guy?

>>6437087
this reads like a fucking parody

>>6437104
yeah i dunno either
>>6437087
>played f zero x a lot
>doesnt even mention the killer soundtrack
lol.
>>6437065
Impressive. its hard as nails.

Last time i played the snes game, the best times were glitched to hell and back, likely due to a cart battery dying

>>6436603
>>6436596
>>6436606
>>6437080
Brawler 64 works decently

>>6437113
>Impressive. its hard as nails.
Yeah he mostly played racing games, FZX was his main but he also played a lot of wipeout64 and starwars ep1 lol

>>6437091
>>6437092
>>6437092
>>6437107

Now look here: I'm as much a fan of nintendo games as any man. You won't see me shitting on Wave Race. But I just didn't have good experiences with F-Zero other than the Snes version. And fuck you, even the soundtrack on the N64 one was shit. Riding around on tubes.

Wipeout 2097 is far better. I love the dead stop. It's like a mixture of Mario Kart and 1080 Snowboarding. In a futuristic setting.

F-Zero is just sliding around the bends in a shitty looking way and looking for boosts as much as you can with a shitty soundtrack. And some of the tracks are so wide, it just comes down to strategy of when to use boosts. I mean, it's a 'just pres A brah' for the duration of the track.

>>6437135
Nice pasta

Sounds a lot faster than I remember it. Must be ntsc

>>6432361
this game is the reason i love metal

>>6437408
Varg thinks metal is degenerate nigger music now, kek.

>>6437419
who cares he's a boomer now lmfao

>>6437426
Boomers are based.

Gtfo back to /v/ kid.

>>6437430
Not him but Varg's pretty cringy.
Also I'm pretty sure he's GenX not a boomer.

>>6437124
I never said anything good about wipeout64. But Star wars ep1 is also one of my favorite racing games. Explain to me, in words, why F-Zero is even remotely good. Compare it to Wave Race.

>>6437586
I wasn't even talking to you faggit lmao

>>6437589
You're talking to me now lmao
