Just beat master difficulty for the second time, this time without sliding and DTDs.

The AI is fucking evil in this game. Captain Falcon rubber banded directly in front of me on one of the last joker tracks and then immediately slowed down and did a spin attack at the same time. Cost me my last extra life.

Unlock the arcade version? All I've heard is that AX allows you to unlock stuff in GX if you use your memory card on the arcade machine. Furthermore, I'm pretty sure that the AX unlocks are just for stuff you can get in GX if you beat all the story mode difficulties.

DUDE TOATLLY BUY IT! THE GAME IS WORTH YOUR TIME!

>> No.1409056

>>1409029
Acceleration basically means that you speed up to max speed quicker. Max speed means that if you can get up to max speed, then it will be faster. If you look at the small map before each level, you can attempt to strategically slide the pointer into what you deem to be the appropriate balance for that level. As in, there is no all-around balance, as it is all situational. Once you have mastered that, no one can stop you. For me, whenever the map looks to have a lot of steep turns and tunnels, I would bring acceleration up a jiffy. If the map looks rather linear, I would bring up max speed. Exact polar points of both acceleration and max speed give you the most extreme benefits of that one side (noticeably different from any tick in-between, even just a single tick away from the maximum is noticeably different), but also the most detriments as the selection has a tradeoff. Maximum acceleration allows you to start up much faster, damn near instantaneously every time you release and repress the gas button, but you are overall much slower. Maximum max speed makes you quite possibly the fastest motherfucker on the track, but you start up noticeably slower, and if you hit the walls or an enemy, you will take a long time to recover.

I agree. X-G 2 feels so smooth, it's like an Xbox game. The speed is fantastic, but kind of detrimental... it's pretty hard to hit with any of the items.

>> No.1410380

>>1408729
Use side attacks to take corners at higher entry speeds. Whenever you side attack you immediate regain traction regardless of how fast you are going. You should never have to use the drift buttons to corner.

Another important aspect is learning to make the most of jumping. The AI is terrible at jumps and will never use jump shortcuts. For example, near the end of the double loop stage you can fly off the right side of the track and dive down to the refill station for a massive speed boost. There are lots of places where you can use tricky jumping to overtake the AI like that.

Lastly, assuming you aren't using advanced speed tricks, you should keep the settings slider between the 4th and 5th notch to the right. This will give you a very noticeable increase in speed without gimping your acceleration too badly.

Let me know if there are any tracks in particular that you have trouble with, I'd be happy to give more advice.
