beat MC staff ghost!!
« Thread started on: Jul 25th, 2003, 01:53am »

1'21" using dark condor and the turbo drift technique. I didn't manage to start the drift from the start so my first lap sucks.
I did a 8" lap!!
reached 4000k I think but forgot to check. I saw 3600 in one of my first run (1'43").
lowered my time from 2' to 1'21 in 5 tries only. when I said to myself "uh, not that hard ", I messed up in my last attempt (so easy to fly, crash, and other nice stuffs at this speed)

I have almost the same car on GX now but I can't do the technique. I don't manage to drift at all in fact . Let's wait for some jap advice.

But... I still can't post my time on the online ranking (6xth place anyway). Always get an error

Also the track for the first chapter in GX story mode is nothing else than this AX mute city!!

I always trust in nintendo. They're the better (gameplay is all in a videogame).
Since F-zero GX and its awful gameplay-bug, I got a big doubt.
I love Nintendo and Sega. Together, they've killed F-zero this time.
I could never say again : Nintendo hasn't missed a game because it happens.

I still have no idea how to do that turbo drift technique, let alone know exactly what it does... (F-Zero AX only came out in Australia several weeks ago, so there's yet to be psychos who can do 1'10''000 records on a track. The maximum speed ever achieved here in Sydney was around 2100kmph on Aeropolis I believe).

Thanks if anyone can give me a thorough explanation...

Hmm, I've tried the drift-turbo once and it's very fast.
I got 8 second laps and 3900+ km/h. But ran out of money before I got to have another try...
Pick Dark Condor (since it does it very well) and test it on a simple track, like Mute City - Sonic Oval. While accelerating, press and hold the left yellow paddle, turn left real quick, tap the brakes for a brief moment (like for a split second) and let go. While still holding the left yellow paddle, try to position your machine back to it's original position again. Drive through the entire track while holding the left yellow paddle and your speed should be around 3500-4000 km/h. If you let go the left yellow paddle your machine will begin to slow down again. Just do it again at the nearest corner or something. Take the corners very gently and also keep in mind that your car may fly off the track at some areas.

Sounds crazy, you'd go through the whole track like a blur. The Drift-Turbo techinque works with all the other machines doesn't it? (not only the Dark Condor and Rave Grampus).
I keep hearing about turning the steering 20-degrees when you pull the left-paddle, or is that at the count-down at the start of the race.
Do it again at the nearest corner? (I believe that's because you're practically turning the machine left when you engage the drift-turbo...).
I gather that the control of the ship becomes extra-sensitive when you do the technique, so thankfully I won't ricochet all over the track when I shoot off into the wall or something.
Guess I'll just give it a go when I next head to the arcades and see if I get it right.

Thanks for all your help.
