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.
youtube.com/watch?v=mOW0fgOEQEM

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/watch?v=Dput_o1PZtU
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.

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/watch?v=NPjWDyzZMd0

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/watch?v=5M8XeFEHRCI

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/watch?v=nD-fIAy2qxM

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.

Your fingers thank you.

FOREVER HE WILL BE MY HERO

Post yfw Nintendo announces F-Zero ZX for the Nintendo Switch 2

I wonder if anyone thought Falcon was an asshole for just turning up in a betting race at the last second and crushing it.

Shame the Groovy Taxi is so underwhelming. Feels below average by every metric.

shitty game only praised by its perceived difficulty

I couldn't ever get into Climax. The tracks feel too small for how fast you can go, and there actually are not enough buttons for all of the controls. Some of the challenge missions are impossible without a brake button, which you could simply not have when you get there.

GX is on the super monkey ball engine, right? would have been funny if they'd made the groovy taxi actually handle kind of like crazy taxi

Been on a huge GPL and Climax binge, I was never impressed by Mode 7 games until I got into these. Also the anime is peak.

it's a Beat The Race With Death Anchor episode

this game was so charged. nothing feels as fast as this. i wish redout was but it seems too slow in comparison for some reason.

boost sound is a shotgun blast

Why do literally all of the cars look lame?

Is story mode even fair in this game?

Like I just lose lose lose and suddenly I win but I still played like trash?

Star Wars Episode 1 Racer is the closest I've felt to F-Zero, but even that's a lot less frantic

I tried to enjoy it but I just don't see what can be fun about piloting a flying boat. I can appreciate the visuals and the programming wizardry behind the game, but the game feels dull. Same as wipeout.

I hate X, feels like GTA4 cars where they all control like boats. Also all the levels feel mostly like straight lines even though they look cooler in the map, plus holding down during jumps sucks since the camera moves with you. I like how aggressive X's presentation is though.

but the game feels dull. Same as wipeout.

there is a reason why these franchises are dead
people prefer real life cars

a Shotgun Kiss, if you will

If you want buttrock then you have plenty of options

All of the games are 3D.

You know what, you're right. I've been unable to derive fun from arcade racing games ever since I got into iracing and beamng.

If you use a brake button in these games then you're playing wrong, simple as

try chapter 1 VR for ages

eventually look up a walkthrough, you have to take a very specific path of what pieces to pick up each lap

chapter 5 VR

try this for months on end, finally get lucky one day at 0 seconds

chapter 7 VR

sheer dumb luck, at the very end of the last lap I hit multiple mines and they both blow me directly forward one after the other to 1st place and the finish line

The easiest one was definitely the "Speed" rip off stage, that took me maybe 5 tries on VR.

even compared to other arcade games fzero and wipeout always had poor sales

Is the new generation of players even remotely prepared for MEGACOCK?

Not wrong, but Climax has parts that you absolutely need to use the brake on so you can stop right at the edge of the track.

I got it on Wii and GameCube disc.

Master Albert's race of destiny isn't just a race, it's a special race to see who's the fastest!

Let's get some hate up in here for this piece of shit

what would be a cool new stage idea? oh i know! a fucking farm.

Chapter 1 is seriously the hardest chapter in the game and the hardest thing I've ever done in a video game.

the hardest thing I've ever done in a video game.

you need to play more games

You need to play more GX. Chapter 1's not even in the top 50% hardest chapters in its own game.

Nta but fucking kek

you think this part in a game was difficult? you need to waste more time on video toys like me!

SEX WITH LILY

play this on Master

ai is stapled to your ass the entire time

they also go about 120kmh faster than their normal top speed

It really shows how SHIT the Hot Violet is. Frail, slow, bad boost, it has no upsides.

waste more time

look whos talking
you are a Anon Babble user
shut up

You are right. I tried doing all the Crazy Box challenges in Crazy Taxi and that was a lot harder than anything I've done in F-Zero, I still haven't completed it.

I thought Stark Farm was comfy, I didn't mind it having like 4 tracks. Something about seeing the rivers as you pass by.

Crazy Box challenges in Crazy Taxi

play trackmania turbo and try to get the super trackmaster medals

I could never learn any of the tricks in Crazy Taxi so Crazy Box felt impenetrable.

Literally only one good game

cars are too slippery in SNES

cars are boats in X

MV is just SNES but soulless

GX is too tryhard

Climax is just Legend but the tracks end in 2 seconds

For some reason F-Zero games all have 95% shitcars and only one Elegance Liberty

you got goose power

any of guys still play F-Zero 99?

Maybe if I didn't have to pay for online I'd still play. Not to mention GP's always end up being decided at Mute City, where the Golden Fraud reigns supreme.

One day I hope to play the arcade version

Played it for more than a year after release which is quite a bit longer than I expected it too. Really fun for a game that comes free with online. Gonna pick it up now actually

What's the difference?

You have to be shitting me. Crazy Taxi is almost worthless outside the crazy box, which is the best part of the game. The tech is not even that hard, you just have to switch gears for a moment.

free

I don't even remember girls being in this game

is there a way to netplay fzero on steam deck?

It has its own tracks and some of the nicer cabinets have motion seats

I finally played it at a con I was at last year. Wasn't huge on using a steering wheel for F-Zero but it's still a fun time if you're a fan on the series.

Aeropolis Multiplex, or Big Blue Ordeal. Green Plant Spiral is also pretty sick. Likewise Sand Ocean Surface Slide. Too many good courses.

Dolphin has netplay. It works about as well as Nintendo's offering, meaning you'd better have an ethernet adapter.

Alright now how do I play it on my phone

I actually am starting to love X just a bit more than gx...
X has a lot more interaction with the cpu drivers, so much so that your set rivals will always stay on you no matter your placing, and a set cpu will always place 1st so you have to take them out to catch up. Gx on the other hand will just reward you for driving good. Don't get me wrong, GX rocks, but I find X easier to pick up and just play

surface slide

Too much of the track is overly long turns and there's barely any healing, so there's not a lot of boosting. Can't get into it at all.

Chapter 2/5/9

How is this VH?

Chapter 3/4/8

Now this is spicy

Chapter 1/6

Genuinely challenging

Chapter 7

Pic fucking related

I'm on the final chapter right now. I've beaten everything so far on very hard but I cannot, for the life of me, catch up to this freaking ghost!

All 3 GBA games use the same explosion and wreckage fire animation for when you retire. I thought that was interesting.

you brake with both triggers.

i played gp legends

This game still looks absolutely incredible on a CRT with component cables. (or plasma).

LCD/OLED cannot do this game justice because of the motion blur.

5 is the 2nd hardest on Very Hard because you have to do everything perfectly. No mistakes allowed.
3 is the easiest on Very Hard because snaking trivializes the whole thing.

Trident, the only place where I could achieve max speed on drops and keep going with the momentum almost intact

Thunder Road was my favorite, I just liked ripping up the track and shitting on anyone in my way with Big Fang

Dragon Slope
Multiplex
Aero Dive
Thunder Road
Half Pipe (cause it filtered my friends lol)

Multiplex

I too like to play every single game I own on easy mode.

Why are we hating on Multiplex it’s a really good track

youtube.com/watch?v=9ag-srpb8E8
best track theme, love listening to it as I die instantly on lateral shifts again

It was a Japan only tie-in for the anime that came out after the anime was already old news and the GBA itself was replaced with the DS the same year. It's one of those games whose very concept was just a bad idea.

How do you git gud at this shit? I love this game but the learning curve is wacky.

It's a crime we never got full or at least clean versions of all the vocal tracks that play during GX's cutscenes. F-Zeeeeeero, F-Zeeeeeero!

the secret to winning grand prix is to murder your rivals every race
actually go ahead and kill pretty much everybody

Start off by learning to steer with L and R over the stick sometimes, and then learn to combine the two. You can beat normal and hard in story just knowing that alongside more basic stuff like proper boost management and just not playing badly. Momentum throttling is a pretty basic technique that’s hard to master so might as well get a head start on it, too. That’s just letting go of A after boosting because you go back down to your non-boosted max speed more slowly when you’re not holding the gas.
When you unlock Black Shadow, try momentum sliding. There’s also snaking, as well. You will wanna learn one of these if you plan on doing Very Hard and Master GPs, you can win Master GPs without it but it’s a lot more fun if you do know them. The staff ghost use advanced techniques too.

I'M A HERO IN THE F-ZERO!

never been filtered by a game harder than this one. I literally cant even win the first challenges in story mode or whatever it is. I want to like it so bad :( even in wipeout I can do the low cc tracks at least. only racing games I can actually progress in is ridge racer and fucking mario kart.

Every now and then I remember there was a point in time where this game was on the GameCube but Mario Kart wasn’t yet. I think that gave it a bit more of a chance and this game isn’t too niche, I’ve met a few people in real life who have played it and loved it.

I mained Dr. Stewart because of his kickass theme, can't wait to relive playing the worst fucking driver in the game and earning wins through blood, sweat, and tears

Surely I'm not the only one?

literally me playing AX

Only ever use characters with an A in control.

F-Zero X and GX were my dream games as a kid. I always wanted a game where you went really fast, and you’d probably think “well you can play Sonic for that”, and I did and liked them but it just felt a little off. You really had to work to go fast at all times in those games, which I did for a lot of levels, but in F-Zero? You went fast 24/7 and you went even faster if you worked hard. These were FAST games, the fastest I’ve ever played.

F-Zero is cool because it's only speed and skill, no items or anything too annoying to get in the way aside from some missions. Also I wish X was a dream game for me, pretty much everything but the gameplay is perfect to me.
