Also, what is the point of swerving into the recharge area after the 1st bump in your double bump opener?

So that Golden Fox catches back up to you MUCH more quickly. It definitely provides a faster first lap than just driving ahead until the opponent catches up.

Is it better to hit or miss the jump on Mute City 1? I've tried both and it doesn't seem to effect my time that much. Then again I haven't broke 2'00 yet but I'm close.

Also, anyone have any good tips for Silence? I've gotten down to a 1'57 but I can't seem to break that.

I didn't say 440, I said 430 which is not much more than 427. 440 only happends on lucky days, but usually only once.

Runaway if you want silence strategies, check out the strategy folder and look for "silence". If that doesn't help then describe your strategy first.

Top Speed said that an ideal speed after a double bump was around 440, but Rich said that it was 427, and Rich, as the Mute City 1 Master, is right as usual. Rich said that 427 is an ideal speed which means that is the speed that offers the shortest amount of waiting time between the 1st bump and the 2nd bump.



Kev: You are exactly right. The faster the 2nd bump the better. I have had thousands of 2nd bumps, but I never once remember being boosted to over 440 unless the bump came too late in the race course. By that time, you have spent too much time traveling below 400 to acheive a good time on the 1st lap.

Swirving into the power up zone before the 2nd bump will save you about 5 hundreths of a second.

Getting a 25"5x or 25"4x on the 1st lap is no easy feat. A 25"5x is possible even if you drop down to 460 km/h going through the dirt patches, but if you lose that much speed, the rest of the lap will have to be perfect. Your goal should be not to lose any speeed. Keep it at 478 km/h.

Thanks,

The main reason that i lose speed is because after i do the 1st patch perfectly i can not get over to the second patch fast enough so i loose some speed running over dirt as i get over. Do you sometimes have this same problem?

Also,
Runaway:

It is only faster to hit the jump if your speed is below 478km/h otherwise just skip it. Also of your first lap it is much easier to cut off the dirt patches without taking the jump.

WOW!!

I have just hit 435 before the 1st turn. After teh first hit you swerve into the charge up area, then keep to teh left side of the track. When the CHECK sign is flashing really fast make a hard right and have the Golden Fox hit you on the right side of your car. If you can keep control after this bump your speed should be around 435.

By the way, if i am just pointing out things that everyone on the board already knows just tell me and i will keep my findings to myslef.

I've been trying to slip through the dirt but I haven't made it cleanly through both yet. Is there a trick to sliding through there or is it just trial and error. If it's trial and error I have the error part down pat...lol

I usually give it three or four tries and then go on to another race. Playing one race too many times in a row will cause a meltdown. The most frustrating race for me is Silence, cause you need alot of things to go right to get a good time. I try to only play for about 20-30 minutes at a time to prevent my head from exploding.

Lol...this has nothing to do with the topic, but I just recognized your little motto under your name: "Ludacris speed...go!!!" Space Balls rulz! lol.

I like it when Dark Helmet says "Ah, buckle this!" and "we're surrounded by a$$h*les!"

anyways...yeah...my hardest and most comsuming track would be firefield at the moment...I'm ok with my other times...but I wan't to lower my silence into the 1'52"xx zone before I die...thats one of my "life goals" lol.
Bye!

Well I just ran some MC1 and tried to slide through the dirt area and let me say that if I ever need to induce an aneurysm I now know how.

After that I calmed myself by playing some Silence. After being bumped directly into the wall, foolishly I might add, I quit before another blood vessel popped in my already trouble brain.

My goal right now is to get my MC1 and WL1 below 2'00. I just got my Silence under 2'00 last night with a 1'57"46 or something like that off the top of my head. I used to have all those kinds of times but my original F-Zero is MIA so for now I'm starting over. I see some flashes of my old brilliance, I just need some practice to remove my rust.

As for Spaceballs, it is one of the best movies ever. I felt I needed a quote involving speed for and F-Zero board and it sounded good. There's a store around here called the Buckle and one time I was in there twirling my keys around and the girl working there told me I might hurt someone. I looked at her and blurted out, "Ah, buckle this." Not often you get to use that line in your everyday life.

RunAway:

If you think just trying to get through those dirt patches cleanly will make you go nuts, just wait until you actually make it through perfectly going 478 km/h and then screw up later in the race. Now that really will drive you insane. Trust Me...

Kev and RunAway: Can you give us your best MC1 time and best single boost lap to date?

My best MC1 time is 2'00"14 and lap is 23"39. Nothing to hold a parade over but I sleep well at night.
