Silence 1 tactics?
« Thread started on: Jun 25th, 2003, 05:14am » |

I was just looking around on this site (first time here) and I saw the times on Silence 1. Now i just got the game a few days ago (PAL) and I've just been able to race 1'22"384 on the total race and 0'23"194 on a lap, my maximum speed was 1198 km/h. Car: Red Gazelle, set-up: maximum acceleration. I haven't cleared any cups yet, so I've only got the top row cars in the selection screen. Is there a way that I can get my times for total race under 1'20"000 and for lap under 0'20"000 with the same car? Also I would like to know if I should post these times.

Well when it comes to making times in silence 1 there are 2 good strats for it. First is:
1. Twin Norrita on two bars before MaxSpeed. -Here all you do is make sure you hit most of the Dash arrows and on laps 2 and 3 you boost constantly until the end.
2. Blood Hawk on Max Acceleration. Here you do what we call a railslide at the beggining of the track on the left wall as you hit the boost. Then another railslide at the Reffiler on the right side. Then on laps 2 and 3 you boost like normal until you get to the refiller where you do a Railboostslide, so you you can catch some air and do a TDD (True Diagonal Dive).
The second method is much more difficult, but more profitable when you get the hang of it. I'd suggest stick with the first method until you mster the second method. Oh and lastly remember to hold on on the control stick to make sure you don't fall off of certain parts of the track if you go too fast. ^^
EDIT: By the way if you want to se the second method in action, take a look at Jimmy Thai's Video clip. You can find it in the F-Zero Movies section. ^^

Welcome to F-Zero Central, Master Link! 
Please race all four cups (24 tracks) before submitting times to F-Zero Central. We base our competitions on overall skill for all of the tracks, so we don't accept submissions of just a track or two. Accepting such times would clog our database with "hit and run" visitors to the site who just want to show off one particularly good time and not truly compete here.

I read the rules and I'm now setting times for all the tracks in F-Zero X. Expect my times somewhere next week. (I hope that I can post them Wednesday) btw, how do you unlock all those cars? Just by racing every Cup and finishing it in first place with one machine? (I have finished and won Jack Cup with the Blue Falcon and the Red Gazelle. I've won the Queen Cup with the Red Gazelle and I'm working on the King Cup right now. Everything on novice. I'm just trying to learn the circuits before I start racing them in Time Trial, plus I want more "cars" to race with)

The fastest way to get all the vehicles is: at the mode selection screen, press L, Z, R, C-Up, C-Down, C-Left, C-Right, and Start.
I don't know how to do it the "real" way, because I used the code. My loss (in terms of skill development and sense of achievement), but I digress.

You know the little X's that appear over the cup names in the cup selection secreen, well once you get a certain number of those you uinlock a new line of machines.
I forget how many but think it's 3. You get one X per difficulty and cup. like 1 for Jack on novice, 1 for jack on standard, etc.
Hope this helps.

I now finished the three original cups in Novice with the Red Gazelle, I'm now going to do the second level (advanced I believe). Joker Cup only comes free to play after you've done every cup on every difficulty... sigh... And then, I'll have to beat that Joker Cup on all three the difficulties, unlocking a new difficulty. Then I'll have to complete that difficulty on all 4 the cups and then! A NEW RANDOM cup! YAY!

you just have to beat the 4 cups on the first three difficulty levels to get the random cup . the last difficulty just brings you a red x for every cup and a new title screen .
