I'm no master but I can tell you that railsliding right at the beginning of almost every track (or maybe every single one??) will get your speed up higher than the top speed of any car on maxspeed settings. Railsliding is especially useful on Fire Field. I beat the staff ghost yesterday without even knowing it lol.

Railsliding is very important in the first lap of Devil's Forest 1 as well. You loose so much time down that long straight without it.
As for Fire Field. You can take-off on the first lap coming down the ramp by railsliding at the beginning. Worth 2 seconds on the ghost..

I've beat nearly every staff ghost now. Devil Forest 2 looks totally beyond me, though....

Are you talking to me?

With "max speed is the key to gain positions" I wanted to tell you novice guys, that it is important to improve the max speeds on each track, if you want to get into the master ranks.

I really know how useful the expert techniques are in F-Zero X, so you canエt tell me anything new.

RP, I was actually talking to Alexp. Another thing...what I meant by top speed of cars with maxspeed, I meant without boost (I think its around 915 NTSC?). I know that's obvious to most people, just trying to make a point that railsliding can get you speeds above that...and is essential for fast times on fire field
