F-Zero GX-AX

[Hero]

oh yeah, how do you kill off opponents? I try, but wind up making my position worse. Like, trying to ram...only to miss and screw up my placement on the course, thus losing spots.

I have the same problem.

I love the game, but I'm seriously thinking of trading it in towards something else. I don't really play racing games too seriously, and I think F-Zero got way too hard WAY too fast. I struggle on the damn story missions, and I hate the ticket system because I don't seem to get enough of them.

I've played it non stop for almost a week and still don't feel like I'm getting any better. I'm debating trading it in towards something else, the difficulty might actually be too high at times.

by far the easiest way to take out opponents is to use a side attack (X + left/right) as you pass a racer. try to hit the front half of their ship. instant kill.

the spin attack (z + left/right) is ok when you want to hit a bunch of racers at once, but it's very inaccurate, and you lose speed too. i barely use it.

btw Roufuss, the story mode is ungodly difficult once you hit the 3rd mission or so. if you want tickets, the best way is through the grand prix races. even if you don't place first, you still get tickets at the end of the circuit.

Yea, I'm on like mission 5, and damn it's incredibly hard.

The game isn't hard to me like "man, I almost won if only I wasn't so careless, I can try harder and do better"... it's hard like "man, I can't believe the computer cheats like that even though I raced a perfect race"

the cab in arcade infinity is japanese unless they changed it recently.

and custom vehicles can make your life much easier for gp. course theyre useless if you want to unlock the little pilot movies. and that big blue course is evil. i settled for top 20 i think...course that was on master. didnt really have a problem with any of the cups on expert. went through all the cups on my first try except on master. go super horse z go.

The arcade version is awesome. The hydraulics work really well. It's harder to control with the steering wheel but it's still just too fun. I won a kickass vehicle with wings(can't remember the name) and one AX track so far. Can't wait to go back and try out my custom machine from my memory card.

That happened to me through most of F-Zero X, but I was ready for this one

Yeah, epmode pretty much said it all. At the very beginning of the race, move towards the slow people that you're passing. Wait until you're next to them, but your ship is slightly ahead, then do the side attack. One-hit kill, seriously. It's a little shocking how the moves go from being useless to one-hit kills in your mind, but they do, trust me. You even get a little burst of speed for ramming someone just right!

The best is to boost, and, as you're boosting past them, ram them sideways real quick. Dead.

I haven't played in a while, but the last thing I did was beat the Story mode when you rescue Jody in Very Hard. I've done most of then in Normal and Hard, but Very Hard is freaking nuts.

I haven't customized ships yet, been using Falcon the whole time...

Probably the Pheonix is it read?

if so thats by far for me the best fucking vehicle in the game

seriously GP becomes alot more manageable with the Phoenix

[Kbu Chan]

Yeah, it's red. It's a great craft. The wings spread out the faster you go, so since it behaves like a bird, it probably is the phoenix

I have to say that F-Zero GX has slowly become my favorite racing game of the twenty-first century. When it comes to the thrill of triumph, nothing, sans Super Monkey Ball and Stuntman, can surpass F-Zero GX.

Case in point: Last night I spent a three hour session trying to defeat Story Mode: Chapter 7. Beating this Chapter demands a certain level of perfection that can only be obtained via an utmost level of concentration and skill. The intensity of this mission leads me to break out in symptoms that I usually reserve for my experiences on the basketball court: sweaty palms, nervousness, and quivering. After many unsuccessful tries, I finally crossed the finish line in first place, and I literally jumped out of my seat and let loose several cries of conquest.

After plowing through a few recent cakewalks like Mario Kart Double Dash!!, Wario World, and THUG, it's truly refreshing to play a game that's not afraid to kick you square in the testicles. I'll gladly take that shot to the balls, ice ‘em down, and fight through the pain. For there is no feeling like coming back later and shoving a crowbar up the game's colon in the form of a richly deserved win. If you still don't have this game and you're a fan of the blue-collar victory, please do yourself a favor and purchase F-Zero GX.
