F-Zero GX-AX

Yeah, I think some people might not be taking advantage of every move at their disposal. In Ruby Cup Expert mode, I got 2 1st places, a 2nd place, a 7th place, and a 6th place. But I still won overall, since I kept killing my rivals (along with random people on the way, who could be potential rivals).

If you're neck and neck with someone, hit them with a side attack when you're a little ahead of them, and you'll get a quick burst of speed. The spin attack isn't that good, because it slows you down, but it'll let you boost through a crowd, and might get you some kills, so it's all good.

It's not all about getting 1st place, it's about strategy and working the points for you.

Yeah I was sort of wondering if it would just replace it outright or if you had the chance to toggle between the two.

Thanks for the heads up.

I can see why some reviews kinda slammed the game for its difficulty.

If, from the moment the game powered up it was set to Expert Mode, and there was no alternative, then I can see the complaint.

Now, the game has Beginner and Normal modes. If you just want to play and not get frustrated, play on Normal. It's normal, average. Not too hard, not too easy. Lots of fun. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

Now, when you master the courses, you might get a little tired of lapping people.

"*YAWN*," you say, "this game doesn't challenge me at all! I wish there was something more to it."

Well then, friend, try the Expert Mode. It's for F-Zero experts, you know. Those that have extensively played the game and know all the tricks. Extensively probably referring to more than the week the game has been out.

"Yeah! I'm so gratedul Sega put in difficulty levels!"

Aren't we all. Aren't we all.

Just got the game a couple of days ago, and I have a couple of questions:
1) How do you unlock the Diamond Cup? I assume you have to win all the other cups, but can you unlock it even if you win the other cups on novice difficulty?
2) Are there any more unlockable cups?
3) How many unlockable tracks are there?
Thanks.

[Johnny Nighttrain]

you unlock diamond by beating all the cups in standard.

aside from diamond, there's the AX cup which you get by beating all the cups in master.

all in all, 10 unlockable levels.

theres one more ax track, which is just the first story mode level apparently. not sure if thats unlocked with the rest of the ax tracks or another way.

i need to find a damn ax machine, no way in hell im gonna get the ax parts/pilots through gx. at least ill have the tracks unlocked soon enough.

I've just unlocked Diamond Cup, beaten the first 3 cups on Expert, trying to beat Diamond Cup on novice. There's no way in hell I'm going to beat all 4 on master, so I need to find an AX arcade machine.

NoFace: I as well am looking for Connecticut Fzero AX machines, any luck yet?

[epmode]

what time you get out of work at ?

5, but i probably won't be able to get there till 6.

i think i'll be able to unlock the ax cup with a bit of practice, but unlocking the ax pilots is a suicide. maybe i'll just bring my memory card..

You get the first story mode level by beating the AX cup on any difficulty. It's not even worth purchasing.
