I am the biggest retard!!!
Post by tx3000 on Jul 24th, 2003, 09:09am

I told people if I saw the video I would say sorry. YOU ALL WERE RIGHT AND I WAS WRONG.

I'M SORRY I WAS A PAIN IN THE...(You know)
I got the game used with no instruction bookl. But I knew about blast turning, but I didn't understand about the drift turning thing I always thought it was just a term for turning. (One would figure that after all of the info I read about this game and how long I have had and played it for, you figure I would have understood the drift turning thing. But having finally understood that I finished master class last night. As for how I completed MC so fast, as I told you all before that I am an excellent driver.

Oh yeah BTW, I didn't drift turn By holding L + Right on the D-Pad. I held the shoulder buttons + the same direction on the D-pad.

Congrats on completing your first Master Series.

Am I the only one here that completed all of the Master Series without using drift turning?

Maybe your the only one who did it without DT but who then again who knows. And You do understand that I have completely completed MC on them all tracks?
Pawn
Knight
Bishop
Queen

A word of advice to anyone trying to beat MC to unlock Fighting Comet.
Do Queen first to get it out of the way. Queen has the hardest tracks to beat. Queen tracks make the others series a gate walk.

Congratulations! I'm glad that you were able to overcome your strong opinions and "see the light."

The next step for you is to join FZC by sending us your times. Then you can work to climb the ranks, which adds SO much replay value to FZMV. Current regulars like Leandro Ribeiro, Nick Harsh, and Kalle Videkull are racing times that they probably thought to be impossible for them a few short months ago. From personal experience I can tell you that it's a lot of fun to look at the track rankings, see times that just blow your mind, and then eventually be able to race some of those times! I'm not talking about world records ... but I never thought I'd be able to do 2'22 at Knight 3 or 1'42 on Queen Final, for example.

Anyway, congrats again! It's always fun for me to help convert a non-believer.

Ok how do I go about joining? If you need some way to download the times then I'm sorry but I have no way to do so. or do I give you the times and you trust that I'm telling you the truth.

BTW I like the password screen for getting Jet Vermilion. (Inserting random names is fun) However, I would rather get JV by unlocking it (Either unlock way is fine). It gives more of a sense of accomplishment as well as something to look forward to.

Oh yeah another questiion I had.

Once you unlock the Silence open Circut, (Until the game is deleted) does that track become a permanent track in your game that you can race on whenever you want? Or is it every time you want to race on it you have to do the single pak link hook up?

Re: I am the biggest retard!!!
Post by Webmaster on Jul 24th, 2003, 11:43am

For Silence, you'll have to use single-pak link every time.

Joining FZC is simple. Read the How To Join page and then go to the GBA section and fill out the form. No proof is needed for now. I trust members unless they give me a reason not to.

And the join page is where? I have been everywhere and clicked on everything (Home, Register...ETC...ETC...) and I can't find anything anywhere about joining.
With the exception of 1 site like I've always had trouble locating things this because the directions for it are not clear at all (If they were I would have already found it. Your going to have to post an exact step by step process on how to do this.

Thanks I'll give you all the info maybe tonight but most likely it will be tomorrow. I'm at work right now so my time on here is limited, which is why it's taking me so long to reply.

Where did you see "register?" That's nowhere on the site. "How To Join" is right below the news link on the main page, can't miss it.

Edit: Hmmm ... did you think that this message board is F-Zero Central? This board is just a service of the site, not the whole site itself. Wow, I guess when you actually go to the site it will be like Charlie stepping into Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. Click on the name F-Zero Central at the top of any page on this board to go to the site.

Dave is right, I remember in January when I got the game and found fzerocentral, I couldn't believe some of the times. I frequently doubted the validity of the Site Records until I started to come close to beating a couple of them. Welcome aboard, Tex!

P.S. I challenge you for the title of 'Biggest Retard'; at 200 lbs I think I might be a bigger retard than you.

I think most of the top players beat master class without drift turning.
I unlocked JV with the techniques explained in the game (blast...), I also often braked!

I don't bother drift turning and I've beaten all the master races. I'm not even a top player (knight C right now).

To answer Ninto's question:
You're not the only one who beat Master Class (unlocked Fighting Comet) without Drift Turning, I didn't even know about it back then....I had to try Queen class 4 times though Kept dying on Land Mine Circuit.....

And they're all right (of course), I couldn't believe some of those times! And then once I learned Drift turning, they became slightly more believable, after learning to use an opponent when doing time trials, they got even more believable, and then after learning to use mines and strafing! Well, I still can't believe that I'd be a full 7 seconds behind the record, but I am.
