I finally finished my first goal!!!
Post by Ryan Jenning on Aug 7th, 2003, 2:00pm

This is a good week! I first finally beat the master class, then I just now realized that I unlocked all of the staff ghosts, and I'm only 4 or 5 seconds away from beating them. Sorry if I am posting every accomplishment I make, but this is pretty cool!

Nice job
It sure brings back some memories in the past when i struggled in FZX, but now. I've come to a point where i don't need Sliding, DT's,DTD,TDD, and could still beat all the staff. Just Left Right Up Accel Boost is all i need. Sometimes tracks like silence 2 i had to purposely crash myself into the rails ahead of time just to make the car turn sharper instead of DTing or sliding, very very hard.

Anyway well if you need any tips hints help anything, just post a msg and i'll see what i can do
and kick those staffs butt

Hehe how the hell do you beat DF3 without even DT?
Re: I finally finished my first goal!!!
Post by JKTFZEROX on Aug 7th, 2003, 4:55pm

yea probably forgot to mention about settings hehe
on DF3 no DT's but there is sliding just no special holding R or Z buttons, just plain slidin from slamming yourself into the rails to make it slide, this still means i only used

left right up accel boost no other buttons

if i didn't use R or Z of course you know i can't DT
but you don't need R or Z for sliding, pro sliding uses R or Z, a simple no technique way is to slam your way through the track heh.

beating Silence 1 staff ghost with Black Bull (jumper) is the hardest but yeah i manage to do that.
boost A vs boost E for JKT boost E can win but thats just me

well even if i were to DT in DF3 without DTD you still can't beat the staff there, you need DT+DTD(tunnel exit)
but for sliding its like a walk in the park

well later

Alright, not to make another post, I'll just put it here. I finished another master class one. This time it was the King class. I did it now by using the Night Thunder, and lots of sliding and boost sliding. I almost beat the Joker class, but I died on Big Hand, so I will beat Joker and Jack classes tonight when I am up until 3 in the morning playing F-Zero X again, a new habit. Before it was MV, but I guess I can switch now. I can't wait until GX comes out, on the weekends, you can bet that I will be up all night, literally not going to sleep, just playing. Anyway, just giving an update. Again, send congrats and money!!!

Another update, I just beat the Joker class, only Jack class to go, but I don't know if the Night Thunder with slider settings will work on those, I might need a jumper or somethin, might try Twin Nortina...

The Jack is the toughest cup in my opinion. Due to the Simple Tracks. If you can beat that one on Master, you can beat any cup on Master
Re: I finally finished my first goal!!!
Post by Ryan Jenning on Aug 7th, 2003, 8:35pm

Alright, one question, how do I beat the Jack cup? The other cups I could get 1st place on at least 4 tracks each. On Jack, I can't get above 3rd! Any specfic vechiles or settings I need? Please, a reply in less than 40 minutes is greatly apperciated!!
Re: I finally finished my first goal!!!
Post by DavePhaneuf on Aug 7th, 2003, 10:10pm

Maybe Night Thunder could work.
You could put him for MaxSpeed Settings for MC,Sil,SO and BB and Slider Settings for Devil's Forest and Port Town.

Alright, I finally beat the Jack class last night, somewhere around 11:30. I never got to see Dave's post, but I used King Meteor with jumper settings on all of the tracks. Lots of hugging corners and boosting on MC, same strat for good times on SI, I used DTD out of the pipes in SO, again, hugging corners and boosting on DF, using the boosts on the pipe on BB, and finally, just killing the rival in PT, then placing 4th.

So now all there's Left is Queen Cup?
Or Did you beat that one already? ^^
Re: I finally finished my first goal!!!
Post by Ryan Jenning on Aug 8th, 2003, 2:20pm

I beat it already. I actually put it in another post because I didn't think I would progress this fast.

Post by Barry on Aug 10th, 2003, 08:12am

Congrats, Ryan. Much better than I'm doing right now for those. Only one I've beaten on Master is the X Cup, which I suspect is due to how "random" the track layouts are....

First of all, hello everyone. I'm Wille Karhunen, a new FZC member from Finland. I joined both the FZX and MV competitions.

I've been playing FZX for about 3― years now, although I've taken several (long) breaks from the game. This summer, the news about GX got me so excited that I decided to dig up my old FZX cartridge. And what do you know: I beat most of my old PRs.

I've watched most of JKT's videos, and I must say that he truly IS World Champion. Is it true that he tried to found the state of Thailand before he was told that it already exists? I find that funny. JKT brags a lot, but I'm OK with that as long as he officially is the best. I've just learned how to DTD (not all that well, but still), and I'm hoping to improve my max speed records soon.

Today I finally beat that MC1 staff! 18 down, 6 more to go.

Very well, all I really wanted was to tell everyone that I am here now, and I promise you: I will improve. Beware, JKT!

Only left, right, up, accel, boost to beat all staffs?

But on slider tracks like Silence 2 or Devils Forest 3 you use max acceleration setting and slam against the wall to slide without pressing R or Z, right?

If you do so, beating all staffs with those 5 movements on the joypad is an easy challenge. So itīs nothing special, because you can still trash most of the staffs.

But the Silence 1 staff with the Black Bull, thatīs impressive!
Re: I finally finished my first goal!!!
Post by JKTFZEROX on Aug 13th, 2003, 2:15pm

Yes i love to brag for fun anyway, actually i don't really think i am that good but just good enough to be where i am at right now hehe.

Well those 5 movements to beat all staffs shouldn't be a problem for all the elite players out there. Its like a walk in the park.

I'll try to get a clip of me beating silence 1 staff with Black Bull jumper its so close that it feels like i lost to it by a hair.
session speed is 1866 km/h
1st lap i am leading
2nd lap staff pass me up before the refiller.
3rd lap i am leading again after the 2nd lap DTD dive.
with a Twin Noritta i can almost get it down to 1'03"400 with the same technique and strat used for Black Bull.
the opener is what held the time back.

One thing i tried to do but just can't possibly do it, which seems impossible is to beat Mute City 1 staff ghost with Black Bull, i did got it down to 1'12"9 but not enough to catch the staff. you guys can try it hehe, its almost impossible to even get it to 1'12"9. for PAL thats 1'27"5.

well cya.

Well, as I haven't beaten all the staffs yet I won't try beating 'em with the Black Bull. What I have done is beat Master with all cars. I wanted to know what the drivers say when they win on Master. Captain Falcon's "I now retire undefeated champion" is my favorite. But he still drives in GX.

By the way, JKT, why isn't there a picture of you in the photo gallery? And what does the "K" in your initials stand for? King? Kool?
Re: I finally finished my first goal!!!

Jimmy Khoi Thai

sorry it ain't kool or king. picture hmm haven't got any layin around so probably later.

I must brag as much as possible can't call myself crappy because what would that make all the players be? who are below me just kiddin hehe
everyone in my opinion is experienced just some played more than others... for me i think i should stop playing because i played too much

anyone can kick JKT's butt hard if they put enough effort into it

well later everyone goodluck

Yeah, just thought I'd let you know that I beat all the Staff Ghosts. Space Plant was the last one remaining, and it took way too long for me to beat it. An amazing amount of one try with Night Thunder.
