Don't listen to Rol:

You can complete everything in the game with the Blue Falcon, that's the racer I've used since the beginning of the F-Zero series anyway! Captain Falcon for the win! xD

Feel free to try them all though, but the best overall racer is always the best in racing games anyway.

You can't complete everything in the game with the Blue Falcon. To unlock the endings for all 41 characters you have to win a GP on master difficulty using each individual vehicle.

Oh yeah, sure, but if I compare it to your previous post, you were simply talking about completing the GP mode (meaning getting all the difficulties/tracks first). Gomar & Shioh's ending is the best by the way, oh and James McCloud's as well! ^^

It's easier to win GPs with the Deep Claw, the Blue Falcon is only an average craft.

Which vehicles sucked the most in your opinion? The Wild Goose is by far the worst, followed by the Night Thunder (a pity since it was one of the best crafts in X).

Not to butt in, but that depends on your playstyle, no? I, for instance, always do best with the light and maneuverable vehicles, so Jody was my top choice. I couldn't use Black Shadow's craft to save my life, though.

No, it only depends on your playstyle to a certain degree, but some vehicles just suck. I really doubt that anyone is doing good with the Wild Goose, it's one of the slowest crafts and its turning looks so awkward, it's really different compared to all other crafts.

There's a bunch of good crafts which includes the White Cat, there are a lot of good enough crafts and then there are some simply suck crafts with which anyone would have a hard time to win all cups on master difficulty. Really, in GX it's not always the player's fault if he can't win.

Hmm, I see what you're saying. I misunderstood you the first time. Still, I never had a hard time winning with any of the maneuverable crafts (even if it was easier with some than others), so while I easily concede that some are clearly better than others I think the last sentence in your post is a bit unfair. In my experience, all crafts always give you a shot at winning the GP; some just make it easier than others.

 



ok... i have played this game so much (won every cup on every difficulty) and basically, when you are racing always do trigger-turns, and more importantly zip-attacks. i.e. the (X with direction i think) attacks where you jump across a little bit. if you are next to someone it is very effective for taking them out. For example on the first track of the last cup, normally by the end of the race i would expect there to only be 8 or 9 racers left because i have taken the rest out. it is waaaay better the spin attacks

practice this ^^^

@thanny: You clearly mean Cosmo Terminal Trident of the Diamond Cup, but the AX Cup is the final one which starts with Aeropolis Screw Drive, a course without jumps and rails along the whole track.

 

^^this

its been a very long time since i played this game last. in fact i might pull it out and do it again its been that long..

Play with the Wild Goose. Not only maxes its base speed out at 1010 km/h, also its boost seems to cap at around 1500 km/h, compared to the 1650 km/h nearly all of the other crafts manage, some even 1700 km/h. Try to win races on master with this crappy vehicle, even the Ruby Cup is challenging.

Actually, I never had that hard of a time with Pico, in this game or any other. Maybe it's the fact that he's well-nigh indestructible in this one, but with him I forgo my usual tactics and just start charging and ramming everything in sight. No need to turn quickly when you can just bounce off the rails, and no need to go quickly when you've eliminated all the other racers.

As an added bonus, you're roleplaying the whole time!

Oh wow, hard question here. I'd have to boot up GX to remember them all (there's like what? 40 racers with the AX ones?)!

If I recall correctly, Wild Boar, Space Angler and Mad Wolf were the slowest pieces of shit ever. I have to say that slidding vehicles (mostly those with high acceleration) are not bad at all when you know how to handle them. You can gain lots of speed from many different turns using them, especially on those Lightning tracks. Blood Falcon and Night Thunder come in mind, but the Wild Goose isn't that bad either. I just hate Pico though, stupid green alien!

Oh well, now this might be a problem because of my playing style. I usually play without taking out anyone else, I prefer to win fair. Same in Mario Kart, that's why I have such a horrible ratio of "hitting others/get hit" in the game, about 1:2,5.

That's okay; elgefe evidently makes up the difference for you...

 



^ Agreed. My favorites are Big Blue (GX Version), Challenge of the Bloody Chain (Big Blue remix), Mission 2 song (Red Canyon remix), Mute City (GX Version), Port Town, Green Plant, Outer Space, Master Class Ending (damn nice tribute right here!) and the Story Mode Ending + Falcon Theme (haha Captain Falcon for the win).
