Holy shit.
Holy shit
I was fucking losing it during Fire Field Cylinder Knot when I first played it. That was the point when I realized I was playing aesthetic perfection.
Only 2 weeks away. Can't wait to play it again.

YOU GOT BOOST POWER
You can play it on your PC right now without dropping $400 on a trash console
i'll play it on my gamecube instead
Good. Anything but Shitch 2.
Best friend and I played the shit out of F-Zero X in high school and college
About a week or two before GX releases
we go to Otakon 2003
They have a Japanese F-Zero GX hooked up in the game room
we lose our shit
we sit down and play one race
random guy watching picks up P3 and wants to play
asks us what buttons do what
we tell him
asks us which button is the brake button
best friend and I look at each other incredulously
at the same time we say "BRAKE?!???"
we burst out laughing
Neither of us expected the other to have the exact same reaction and say what we said in unison. Still, a great memory.
Favorite track? For me, it's Thunder Road or Ordeal.
Definitely Thunder Road for me too. Great track on both console and arcade. I've only beaten Ordeal once on arcade since in my experience, one death and the track become nigh unbeatable since I couldn't make up the time.
Favorite track
Hard for me to pick between Aeropolis variants and Fire Field.
Big Blue: Drift Highway
Mute City: Serial Gaps
Phantom Road: Slim Line Slits
Thunder Road or Double Branches
Double Branches
Dragon Slopes
Half Pipe
Trident
Long Pipe
Lateral Shift
But if I had to choose one? Probably Trident. Trying to not careen off the path against the ghost with Fat Shark was a fun time.
Hard to pick, but my unsorted top 3 are
Intersection
Loop Cross
Dragon Slope
i can't into fast paced racing games. never could get into sonic, either. for the same reasons. although I did enjoy sonic 1 and 2 on the dreamcast.
Slim Line Slits is fucking impossible. I consider it a victory to just not die on that track.
Multiplex
youtube.com
The track in itself doesn't have any crazy shit, but I loved the setting and visuals
60 second time limit
do this
oh fuck
Dragon Slope is the best track once you know the trick to preserving speed after dives. You can break 4000km on the last dive doing that and just that one trick alone is enough to obliterate the staff ghost.
Big Blue: Drift Highway
Think I've maybe taken 1st against the Master AI there all of twice. There's simply nowhere to gain any ground against them on such a tiny track.
That's like 1 or 2 frames under the limit lmao
F-Zero GX without analog triggers
Yeah no thanks
Shit game flopped.
CAPTAIN FLOP
CAPTAIN KEK
The Mario Kuck thread is 2 pages down.
Good shit
While we're on Story Mode, anyone else that piece of shit jump? Having a run on Very Hard die to it is the worst feeling.
Trident for machine-smashing kino. i had a phae where i would only play that track with the objective of destroying as many opponents as possible. I think I got down to 8.
I've lost runs to that at least a few times. I'd argue that 1/5/7 are the hardest of the story mode races. I don't know how you're meant to do 7 without snaking.
60 seconds for chapter 1 VH
40 seconds for chapter 5 VH
Actual hell
I like Spiral due to all the heal strips. Means you can boost that much more, and boosting is fun.
That's the best way to play it, Dolphin being second best. Playing it on Switch 2 is only for people who were dumb enough to buy a switch 2 in the first place.
Eric lost
Sony lost
PissStation lost
Nintendo won
Cope and Seethe
I've had that happen to me a few times on Very Hard and it made me want to die.
I don't know how you're meant to do 7 without snaking.
Only way I could beat 7 on Very Hard was to take out Black Shadow immediately, Blood Falcon by the end of lap 1, and then make no mistakes for the rest of the race. I think I used momentum throttling sometimes too but I can't remember.
Fire Field: Undulation
Get out of my F-Zero thread you underage retard
I've done Chapter 7 without snaking, but it took killing Black Shadow at the beginning, and some insane star alignment bullshit. I did it once and I thought for sure the run was dead yet I stole 1st at the very end.
Will the switch have it with online play? I saw some people claim that but i don't really know if that's true since I don't have a switch to test if older local multi games have that
Yeah but only with friends and with garbage netcode that makes it basically unplayable.
Thunder road. Home.
I like Trident too, and I'd pick phantom road as the third choice if i could ignore the last stretch before the finish line
You and your friend sound like the biggest faggots I've ever heard of in this site. Actually impressive.
SEGA literally just decided to make the best racing game on GameCube then never do it again
I see, but would it be like, each with their own screen or split screen?
k
Split screen
I don't really like the Yakuza games but I always respected the RGG director, he always looked like a cool guy, shame he was fired for being a funny guy.
Exploring GX's machines is pretty fun if you keep your expectations low. There are some good surprises out there & unsuspectingly great ones. I like Green Panther/Antonio Guster.
I see, thanks.
Holy fuck, well done.
>I don't know how you're meant to do 7 without snaking.
spawn
instantly side attack to the left so you kill black shadow
use mines as boosts to become the bullet that kills blood falcon
fail
rinse and repeat until you succeed
win
the toughest thing to complete in the entire game, staff ghosts excluded
stop talking about the Switch 2, in the thread about a game where its a Switch 2 launch title!!!
Cope and Seethe, Eric.
But I want to play it on the switch 2 in portable mode, not on my PC.
Its something that doesnt get talked about as much but yeah, if you want something that's also borderline impossible without advanced techs, the staff ghost for the very 1st track is absolutely brutal. I'm pretty sure said staff ghost actually uses advanced techs too, while being on a good machine (Death Anchor if I remember right)
i don't remember a time where i haven't cleared this mission without hitting the bottom door while jumping
Get a Steam Deck instead. It's cheaper than the Switch 2 and is better suited to Gamecube games due to having analog triggers.
I'm pretty sure said staff ghost actually uses advanced techs too, while being on a good machine (Death Anchor if I remember right)
It probably does. Lateral Shift's staff ghost is infamous for using shift boosts so the staff do know about them.
Some of the machines are so shitty that I have to wonder why. The Wild Goose handles like shit, boosts like shit, and those two are pretty much all it needs to be bottom tier.
I've usually been able to do the 2tap to kill Black Shadow, but Blood Falcon's another story.
For me though, the hardest thing in the game was Cylinder Knot's staff ghost. It uses one of the best machines in the game, takes immaculate racing lines, and it's extremely hard to snake at all on that track. Somehow managed it with snaking, but I don't think I could replicate it.
Racing on Mute City for the first time has been the only time my jaw dropped when playing a game. Maybe when I saw 3D graphics as a child, but F-Zero GX is the one I remember doing that.
Best racing game of all time
I like X & Gx!
Aeropolis Multiplex. Something about the layout just feels right
Nah. I'm just gonna buy a switch 2.
But I hate Gamecube games.
Looking forward to actually playing multiplayer
I pre-ordered the switch 2 GC controller just for this game. Can't fucking wait.
Wipe Out is way better
And then there's THIS faggot
good joke
True but he does have a point
I fucking hate Phantom Road. The AI cheats its ass off so hard on that last turn.
Same!
For me, it's the Hyper Speeder.
snaking
no
drifting
nah
momentum slides
not today
speed
ALL OF THE DAY
You've had 20 fucking years and NOW you can't wait?
Dear Nintendo:
20 years in the can. I wanted to play F-Zero. But I compromised. I played the Big Blue level in Mario Kart instead.
Lmao I was using Sonic Phantom because "skeleton cool" and got tons of the ghosts done with it, but a fair bit of adjusting to the Hyper Speeder made me realize it's straight up superior to it by a hair (but a hair is a lot in GX).
And I have a cock on his mouth. He's a ZESTY nigga
BRO
put your dick anywhere near another guy
call them gay
Hmm
I'm straight and married to speed, he sexually assaulted me, because HE is gay
The Great Crash, whatever happened there.
You could never get away with these designs today.
2 > 1 > 3
Anyone remember F-Zero AX?
Best arcade game.
ok switch vegan
HE IS THE HERO! LEADER OF THE TEAM!
youtube.com
I could never even beat Goroh in the canyon on Normal
My gamecube died. Haven't play the game is years but miss it.
can someone post that casino track webm? i swear i saved it but can't find it anywhere.
Games a masterpiece and the peak of racing games btw, embarrassing that its never been equalled 20 years later frankly.
buy a used wii, plays GC games.
piratefags caring what other people do
You kids are sweet? I guess?
You're a flaming retard. Touch grass.
I know, it's so ass.
Aside from being absolutely bonerrific art, I appreciate that their actual ingame models do vary from each other despite all three being statuesque hot women. And Arrow's abs could grate cheese.
these are fine, try with princia or lily
speaking of:
youtube.com
nintendo adds the X racers in X
they're all adults, highly intelligent and insanely fit because F-Zero racing is mentally and physically demanding because of how fucking dangerous the sport is.
sega makes AX racers
they're all children except don genie who is a whale of a human who puts even Dr Clash to shame and mascot design aliens
It's night and day how different the design goals were here.
This is the most overrated piece of shit ever.
who hurt you?
Sega also included an alien with a Crazy Taxi machine though and that's awesome.
Good idea, but, I'm already getting the switch 2 and gc controller. So I'm covered.
Drift Highway with Cylinder Knot as close second.
Just because how good the music is and the intro in both of those songs.
Tho Night of the Blue is the best song in whole series. God I gotta use it in my next video.
WHAT A SCAM!
youtube.com
What the ever living hell happened with Climax?
It's weird that Climax exists, it feels like a tech demo for GP Legend.
It becomes marginally easier with momentum throttling
This game is too difficult and should have speed options like Mario Kart
$0.3 eShop credit has been deposited to your MyNintendo account.
people who played this, what's your favorite custom ship?
Tho Night of the Blue is the best song in whole series.
My nigga. Using that for the trailer was brilliant because it was the coolest shit ever.
youtube.com
Don't you want a story mode too? Fucking casual get off my board
Better question is what happened between Maximum Velocity and GP Legend?
CAUSE I'M MOVING
If you take a chance
CAUSE I'M MOVING
If you take a chance
If another F-zero happens I hope the music is more X than GX though I would be fine with more GX. The worst thing that could happen is dubstep.
Japan only
Acro Lynx G4 was my easy 'n cheasy custom machine of choice, but the whole system is kinda janky. There's a handful of parts that are batshit crazy good and a whole lot that are just garbage, and a handful of combos that do weird physics things like easy flying ships but they don't really feel as unique as all the original machines and their subtle (and sometimes way less than subtle) handling differences that aren't summed up by the ABC scale.
Undulation, then Thunder Road
boot up Dolphin
go to a Lightning track
this game is EXCELLENT
skill issue. I understand perfectly why mario kart is mainstream and forever-green, but Fzero GX is the peak, nothing else comes close.
It’s funny how there’s more 2D than 3D games in this series.
picrel
faster than the fat shark
light enough to be maneuverable
heavy enough to bully lighter ships (all of them except fat shark and black bull) of the way when boosting
can do tight turns at 1800kph without slipping
I've tried but I can't find a better ship for me
I think is funny how captain falcon appears more in smash than in f-zero
Looking at Retroachievements for GX
Captain Falcon has the highest rate of completion for all of his interview questions and the secret question
Eh? Why? I thought his machine was kind of... I won't say bad but average in a way that isn't real great for GX.
most people that play probably just play falcon's cups after playing the story and that's it
used wii
no digital av
you use his ship a lot for the story mode, if you can beat it in hard, you can beat master championships without too much effort
Shotgun Kiss
Holy shit that takes me back, I remember watching this on the Master Quest disc.
The side missions in Climax are harder than the main game
You're the kind of miserable I'll strive and fight to never be. Thanks for giving me a bar to clear.
Its fine to be hard but when breaking rhe game and using glitches is the onky viable method to win theres a problem
sex
You can beat GX as a complete normie if you are marginally dextrous
yes, but also consider:
sexo
The devs knew these exploits and have used them against the player for Lateral Shift.
If they play dirty then it's only fair :)
Cosmo Terminal is such a pain in the ass, but the concept of racing on a space elevator is my favourite in the game.
Second is Big Blue Ordeal. I just love racing in BB.
I've never snaked in my life.
