Hmmmm....

Are there more videos where this came from?

Well, there's no way an E boost helps. But perhaps the Black Bull's heavy weight is an advantage rather than a hinderance.

Have you been able to compare the sliding abilities of cars with various grip ratings in GX yet, DVM?

Yes the techniques looks awful but that's really fast!
The road seems very little at 2900 kmh!!!
I saw other videos of MC (made by a french player) and i was believing F Zero was not very fast...
Now i really want to play!!!
The DTD seems useless now^^

I think there is something wrong with that site at the moment, because I cant seem to get it to work and it is all in japanese anyway.

It is worth noting that all of the top-ranked AX times are dominated by E-grip cars almost without exception. If the Black Bull goes fast, could it be that we'll be racing much faster still?

The reason you only see the speed on the screen is because it was a replay. ( After finishing you can choose to watch a replay of your run with every possible camera angle )

I tried duplicating that strat with the Night Thunder but it didn't work .. Didn't even put me anywhere near my best times yet.
Haven't unlocked the Black Bull yet though.. hope to get it soon and see what happens.

ALso hope to receive the AR soon so I can finally at least see how fast I'm going

ok, that's a replay^^ cool!!! Every angles? seems wonderful^^
The weight seems to be important factor here....
For the technique we should ask tonio... he said he made a 8" lap (4000 kmh)

just checked the jap board and yes the (first?) high-speed technique for GX is "dakou", wich is meandering in english (according to my dictionnary) and "serpenter" in French.
they're not very pleased with this since this is kind of ridiculous and it's not really fun to play time attack like this. faust (fzmv world champ.) has lost some motivation for TA for example.

I actually attempted the technique myself just a moment ago, and I realised that it's very difficult to execute. My thumb keeps sliding off the control stick. ARGH!

This technique is actually a modification of the AX drift technique. Like Tonio has mentioned, in AX, you have to turn the wheel to the left, brake, then imediately pull the left paddle and steer the wheel straight, allowing the machine to drift before shifting into airbrake mode again.

In GX, what I did was to constantly tilt the control stick left and right, all the while pressing the L and R triggers alternatively. The triggers have to respond to the control stick - when you push leftwards, hold L. I was able to obtain a max speed of a little more than 2000km/h, with max acceleration setting.

However, when I changed the controls such that both the airbrakes and the manuevring of the machine is marked onto the control stick. so it's as if the R trigger is pushed when I turned right, I couldn't get the technique to work very well. Hence I conclude that somehow you have to buffer a slide (L+R) occasionally. For myself, the slides happened due to human error.

I can't really explain what I've noticed very well, so please, pardon my inarticulation.

if you guys had a choice, would you like this technique to remain in the final version?

Personally, I despise it. It really spoils the fun of the game just so you can have the best speed.

It seems like this technique will work with any racer, but somehow it works with Black Bull the best. I've got up to 1700km/h with White Cat.

good, becuase I just e-mailed them and asked them to try and remove it, or tell me if there are other techniques

alright, I know you're all like BS! BS! It's stinking up the forums! You'll get a generic reply!!!

But mind you, I was responsible for F-Zero being advertised on MTV, Comedy central and stuff... fine, then don't believe me

I'll post the reply I get from them later on...
