So, How does the Multiplayer work?
Post by Dominic on Jul 30th, 2003, 09:29am
A very special aspect of F-Zero X, was its multiplayer, what made it special was how the single player mechanics work so very well here, allowing very competetive and fair racing
so what options are there? slots? anything? I know there's know AI function that will add 26 more players or anything
I heard that when you fall off a track, something picks you up and places you back... JESUS! Is this true?! I sure hope not, that would suck monkey balls (a clever pun indeed) I doubt it though, but I need confirmation to allay my fears
also, can you race custom vehicles? If so, how many at a time (I'm hoping for four) but how is that possible if there are only two MC slots? can one card have more than one Custom Vehicle?
Thanks in advanced

Actually, I think it would be better if you would be picked up. It's pretty boring to play against someone who falls of the track within 30 seconds, and then you have to race all by yourself.

No way man, that would be pretty lame 
That's why there was slot machines in X, if you have to sit the race out, you could at least mess with the other players

Maybe lame for 3-4 players, but not for only 2 players

I don't know what's with me, even on a one on one match, I wouldn't want a ship carrying me out of a hole... ach crap, anyways, everytime my friends fall off, they hit start and retry the race... crap
oh well... Now... I wonder when someone will answer my questions, I really want to know if you can race your customs against eachother... this would be ultimately cool forcing my friends to log on numerous hours also... bwahahahaha!

I dont think its so lame as long as the time it takes to get picked up is long enough. Of course its lame if there is no proper punishment for flying of the track, though.

I saw a multiplayer video. When you fall you can come back...
I don t like that but i think that s good for newbies^^
I think you can shut down the option like the jackpot and the handicap in f zero x

When you fall you can come back, for sure. It's like Lakitu (in french) in Mario Kart, you lose a lot of time. It's an interesting option (I don't know if you can shut it down).

There, I'd like an option, that would be great if you could toggle it on and off
