Black Bull -> Staff ghost in Port Town 1
Post by al64inthedark on Aug 10th, 2003, 04:36am

I've just unlocked the ghost in Port Town 1 (sorry don't know the sub-name, can't read Japanese but it's not the pipe one).
And the staff ghost is Black Bull ! Sounds pretty strange on a race like this for me.
I've tried to follow him but not more than the first lap and he doesn't use dackou. I'm just 1 seconds behind the ghost time (without dakou) so he isn't very good.
Why use Black Bull for this and have you ever seen a ghost using a kind of dakou technique ? It will be confirmation that dakou was made by programmers.

Please nintendo, don't let Sega do the next F-zero

The sub-name is: Port Town - Aero Dive

No.
There is no staff ghost using dakou.

BTW...
Is there any translation for "dakou" ?

Yes.
I'm not good at English.
Please correct my mistakes, if any.

Well I've experienced now that the boost ratings don't mean as much anymore like in FZX

Some cars just happen to be programmed in GX to drive much faster than others and the Black Bull is one of those that goes pretty fast.

The Twin Noritta for instance only goes like 1000 kph in a straight line with the setting all the way right while cars like the Sonic Phantom and The Death Anchor easily go 100 kph faster ...

That's why the staff ghost are usually vehicles you wouldn't really expect.

Really? That's how it is now? Man, oh well, but I really need to play the game myself to get a better understanding of what you're talking about

Yes i ve been surprised to discover that black bull was the staff Ghost of Vegas Palace 1 ^^

For the few i played i find that the good old sliders like Blood Falcon are not so very good cars. I have to practice more^^
