4000km/h
« Thread started on: Jul 16th, 2003, 01:00am » |

Someone on the Japanese board explains the "drift turbo" technique: while drifting (brake a LITTLE and turn while accelerating), pull the left handle (if you turn left). which sounds to me like a mix of drift and slide impossible to do on GX  (using E-grip car and max accel setting...) no boost??
his best time on mute city is 1'38 with one big mistake. the current record is 1'06 (mine is 2'09 )
he says you go beyond 3000km/h with this and his max speed is around 4000km/h 
As for me I'm rank S, with maybe 6th 2nd places on green plant, always first during the race except in the last few turns. I've played 50 times and so have to change my licence card.

4000! woot! hehe cool if there happens to be no maximum speed like in F-zero X (3000 km/h).
Well I'm looking forward to this more and more! There must be some kind of skill depth if #1 is a whole minute ahead of you

4000 km/h... Amazing! Anyway, you can do it on GX, though you'll need some skill in order to accomplish it. I've seen a Nintendo-guy do it at the Power Unlimited Game Awards. They did two competitions at the Nintendo stand: first there was a Mario Kart: Double Dash!! competition, where you could win prizes such as a WaveBird controller, a GBA SP or a GameBoy Player. A bit later, there was an F-Zero GX competition (best of three) where you couldn't win any prizes (the competition wasn't planned at first, but the guys at the stand saw that many people liked the game, so they decided to show it off.). First, there were trials of who could do the fastest lap. (I passed that one) Then, the competition started. Some Nintendo guy started it all. The first challenger was beaten by him. The second one, too. Then I came along. He did the trick to get along my side while he was driving the Blue Falcon and I was driving the Red Gazelle. I won those races. I was the ULTIMATE F-ZERO GX CHAMPION. Thank you. *bows* Right, that was my 15 minutes of fame...

Well, the speedometer shows higher numbers than it does in X. Doesn't necessarily mean the game feels faster.

I could reach... 2500k today . I did manage to drift like he describes (brake+handles) 2 or 3 times. but I also reached SS rank by beating green plant in GP and time attack. I used "rainbow phenix" for all the circuits. the number of parts is quite limited btw (listed on the jap board)

4000 km/h !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
man, i wonder if 60 frames per seconde is enough to capture that speed fluidly. i mean, the distance between frames will be 18 meter and the distance in 1 second will be 1,1 km. will gamecube be powerfull enough to handle that

only 4000 km/h? awwww i was hoping it went off for 4 digit scale hehe.
Anyhow seems like sliding has always been the key. their current time atm is 1'05"761 not bad not bad at all I'd like to test and figure out some strats and moves also.
I am pretty sure theres more, but first they have to figure it out. looks like no one bothered about side attack but for GX i am sure theres something to it.
I like intense difficulty the harder the better  if its not hard its not a competition, and thats for sure.
cya later
,JKTSPEED [No racing out there game beats the F-Zero Series in speed do i have to repeat myself? ]

Well, 18 meters... this isn't reality, how do you define 18 meters in a video game? Try going at 100 km/h in F-zero X, it isn't exactly what 100 km/h feels like in real life Its just numbers. And why would it put more pressure on the gamecube cus its moving faster? And since 60 frames per second is as much as the human eye can benefit from anyway, theres no point really in going over that. Sure id like more than 60 Hz, but thats different.

Who Cares?! the machines in the game goes freakin fast anyway! it's not everyday you have racing games that let you go well beyond any real speeds of our modern day vehicles.
Even if 100k don't look like 100k, the belief that you can go as fast as 2000k regardless of how the real world works - is enough to make this game a bloody one.
Anyway - In reference to 4000k, how do you achieve such speed? you obviously need a ship with full-top-speed, fair accel., good cornering, and that is as light as a feather... what stats do you need to go that fast? I've seen crazy 1-minute records on the F-zero AX rankings site, and I thought I was damn mad as a F-Zero racer coz I beat the others in my country.
Oh well- guess I'll work on that sometime after I beat the Green-Plant Track.
