Got it on ebay for like 6 bucks and it is funnnnnnn

And also one of the hardest racing games out there, don't be fooled by the video.

If only it had wifi then it'd be like the best racing game ever...already might be, but wifi would make it better.

I've got that! Doctor Stewart's vehicle (04 Golden Fox) is actually the basis for my nickname on here.

meh does anyone else know you can unlock the AX drivers without an AX arcade game (there are only like 90 in the US)?

I do- I've got all of them except for Dai Sai Gen and Phoenix. To get them, you've got to beat the Missions on Very Hard difficulty- one character for each mission.

Twin Norita was always my favourite. Annoyingly i've lost my copy of the game.

Oh! I've played one of the older versions of this game. Do you know whats fun? Playing this game with a friend and constantly breaking each others time attack records; we eventually got so fast on this one track that we would fly off it if our technique wasn't exactly perfect. These games are many times more fun than any Super Mario Kart game I've ever played.

Post by: GoldenFox93 on May 07, 2011, 03:22:21 PM
And in multiplayer, I enjoyed eliminating my opponents with the attack manouvers- a particular favourite was on Mute City Twist Road, nailing one with a sideswipe as the twist came up, smashing him into the barrier, before causing him to fly off the track. Classic!  :D

That one mission where you could get about 7 people off at once with one spin attack thing. :D

Post by: Badnik96 on May 07, 2011, 05:03:43 PM
yeah, and Spade was unlocked by beating them all on Hard mode :P

But I only have QQQ and Daigoroh right now, I'm closest to Princia and Don Genie

Also, my fave in the looks department is the Big Fang, but I have no preferred racer, but the Little Wyvern, Sonic Phantom, Hyper Speeder, and the Iron tiger all top the list.

Well, I just got the Diamond Cup (never bothered before because I wanted the AX cars :P) Did great on a run on Trident until I fell off at the end  XD
Title: Re: F-Zero GX
Post by: Reier on December 17, 2011, 12:58:29 PM
I can beat Trident on master given enough times, but I always seem to die soon after, like on SOLS.
Title: Re: F-Zero GX
Post by: Badnik96 on December 20, 2011, 09:51:38 PM
Unlocked Spade today. Mission 7 (hard) was last to beat, and it took FOREVER. I finally beat it when I killed Black Shadow at the start (not the immediate beginning but near the wall-less part), then hanging in the top 10 until the last stretch, where a mine helped me boost past Blood Falcon to win (it helped that he was spinning as I went by) :D

Yes. DO IT NOW

just be prepared, because it is insanely hard after Novice.

Pink Spider Get! just 2 AX cars left!

Post by: Larrain on March 01, 2012, 03:54:31 PM
Uhh, I played F-Zero X on a N64 emulator a while ago. It is definitely the most epic game I've ever played! Going to play it again after posting.

I'm probably going to get this one too.
Title: Re: F-Zero GX
Post by: Larrain on March 02, 2012, 05:57:31 PM
I don't know if F-Zero X is easy or I just learn quickly. I began playing yesterday and I can now beat all three cups in Standard. I haven't tried Expert yet though...

I will play F-Zero GX once I either beat this one or get tired of it.
Title: Re: F-Zero GX
Post by: Badnik96 on March 02, 2012, 09:59:09 PM
Expert cranks the difficulty up a notch, but as long as you know the tracks you'should be ok.

Also in GX some cars handle differently than their X versions. Just a heads-up.

What cars do you normally use in-game?
Title: Re: F-Zero GX
Post by: Larrain on March 03, 2012, 03:16:24 PM
Ok, thanks.

I've been just using the Golden Fox for a rather obvious reason, haha... But I'd use anything that's got a great boost and crappy grip.
I noticed drifting around corners increases your speed, which is a plus for me as I like doing that.

Up a notch, eh? It's quite a large notch o_o
Title: Re: F-Zero GX
Post by: Badnik96 on March 04, 2012, 05:37:03 PM
Night Thunder isn't that fast but it has a good boost, honestly you need something faster top speed wise.
Title: Re: F-Zero GX
Post by: Larrain on March 04, 2012, 10:59:11 PM
Hmm, right, but how am I supposed to know what cars have better top speed? The Body stat?

Oh, and my computer struggles to run F-Zero GX at any more than 5 FPS.
Title: Re: F-Zero GX
Post by: Badnik96 on March 04, 2012, 11:34:03 PM
yeah emulators can't really run GX.

Just test each car on-track to find their top speed. Big Fang and Fire Stingray are both pretty fast and have good grip. The Body stat dictates how many hits a car can take.

Also I'm competing in an F-Zero Gx league on GameFAQs. After 2 races I'm 6th out of 7, but only because I haven't won a heat yet.

According to the pros it's the 2nd best car after the Hawk.
Title: Re: F-Zero GX
Post by: Badnik96 on March 05, 2012, 03:04:24 PM
Yeah but I'm assuming that Larrain isn't a pro. Coming 12th at Figure Eight kinda proves that IMO.
Title: Re: F-Zero GX
Post by: Larrain on March 05, 2012, 03:47:21 PM
Ahaha, I can do well on Standard, I managed to finish first in all tracks on all four currently unlocked cups last time I tried.

However on Expert I can only beat the King Cup at 3rd overall position, as for Jack and Queen I'm often at the middle. Not sure why, maybe very swingy tracks are my strength...

I tried Big Fang among a few, it was the one I performed the best with at Mute City 1. Still 6th though ._.

And I've been using the Night Thunder because it suits my style pretty well (like the Golden Fox, which IMO looks better D:). I'm not sure about what does weight do, so I chose it over the Blood Hawk by looks :P
Title: Re: F-Zero GX
Post by: Badnik96 on March 05, 2012, 10:03:49 PM
Yeah if only you had more cars, there are some great ones on the botom two rows.

Maybe try the Twin Noritta?
Title: Re: F-Zero GX
Post by: Larrain on March 18, 2012, 01:16:13 PM
Didn't do any better with that, but thanks :P

I was a little pissed off today, and seeing how I play with a keyboard on a emulator I senselessly dropped the analog range of my movement keys down to 30% and managed to arrive 1st at Expert Figure 8 on my first try (with the Golden Fox if that changes anything). I'm going to play with that thing more often since I don't have any analog sticks :P
