GX and AX controls (translation)
Post by Tonio on Jun 23rd, 2003, 9:36pm

The new japanese version of the official site is very interesting (about AX, "you need the licence card to participate in the online ranking"...)

from:
http://f-zero.jp/f-zero_gx/technique/
http://f-zero.jp/f-zero_ax/technique/

(STR=slide turn on the right DTR=drift turn on the right
guess for left)

GX:
STL : L+Left
STR : R+Right (corrected )
DTL : L+R+Left
DTR : L+R+Right

Side At. : A+X+direction
Spin At. : A+Z+direction

Boost : A+Y

AX:
(I will call what they call "paddle labor" the wheel)

ST:
"At the entrance of the corner, keep pushing the accel., lightly push the break and at the same time turn the wheel.
(picture on the left)

DT:
"pull the wheel in the direction of the turn, and turn it (the wheel )"

Side At. pull the wheel 2 times in the desired direction
Spin At. pull both extremities of the wheel and turn in the desired direction

Boost : Big Button in the middle of the wheel (forget it!) or the small one on the right (yeeees!)

In the bottom of this page, they speak about 2 settings for your machine: focus on acceleration or highspeed.

quite surprising eh?
That's it for the translation.

hope you understood. I don't know the difference between slide and drift anymore...

You already got to play AX ? Lucky sob !

So what were your general impressions ? Does the game draw a lot of attention ?

What the A French guy has played AX, while the only European AX module is in the UK? Have you been to some kind of games expo (E3-like?)?
Anyway, how was it?

Warning: you won't learn anything interesting here!!

I played the GX version in Osaka some months ago and sucked (oh you could always boost!) and played AX yesterday (sunday) in Kyoto in a very big amusement center... but the (2) machines were at the entrance (2 deluxe versions)...

not that much attention. when I came a guy was playing very seriously on the right and one less seriouly on the left. I replaced him. I chose "grand prix" (not time attack). The moves of the cabinet (if you belt up) are quite disturbing and may be a bit late compared to the actual moves of the car.

I couldn't bother my girlfriend too long with it ("hey let's go find f-zeroAX in this amusement center!" -find what? amusement center? what about the sales and the movie?)
I also had to play a game am a LOT better at it, the japanese druuuuuuums (2 songs for half the price of a race), with a larger and more "diversified" audience.

I'll go back alone. I'd prefer to wait for GX to get used to it but I guess I can't resist knowing that you guys can't play it!!

Grrr.. almost makes me want to book a ticket again on the next flight to Tokyo. Not sure the AX will ever make it to Belgium. Hardly any arcades worthy of that name left here , not even in Brussels.


Hmm.. big Kyoto amusement center ... The Teramachi shopping Arcade ?

Nope.
one on kawaramachi.
On Teramachi they're kind of small (I mean less than 6 floors)... (no AX I think)
