IMO Fire Stingray today is still in a stronger position than Blue Falcon pre-patch. Not that I ever thought the Blue Falcon was ever too bad.

Skyway length time from what I’ve seen is based on DISTANCE from 1st not placement

Yes, stingray now is not great. But I have used it for so long that it would be very difficult to learn a new play style

I wouldn’t be surprised if everyone involved in that hasn’t played much. They might see the meters have the best average placement on it but won’t see how tough it is to win with it

@@Surl9596 I agree, there were some odd choices with the updates in the v1.3 patch

Technically I was playing on the 1.4 update, but in one Grand Prix i managed to make it all the way to the victory podium, with the Blue Falcon, I'm not even that good at the game typically. 😂

i feel like your testing approach would be great to finally solve how exactly do back bumps work, how many pixels forward they bring us, what penalties are involved when we back bump someone else, and how many back bumps would equal a boost. some side collisions might also count as back bumps too. i have been trying to use the mini map to answer this question myself but it is quite cumbersome

Perhaps I'm a little too insistent with doing some drifts. That's why I use the Golden Fox most often, though I recently learned that the Wild Goose can also drift.

I’ve been maining the Fox since day 1. I probably won’t change anytime soon

Same here! I feel like there's not a whole lot else I do better.

When passing a jump pad, each ship should reach its maximum speed. It doesn't make sense for all ships to exceed their maximum speed except the Fire Stingray. Also, since the Fire Stingray has the worst turbo stats, they should at least make it maintain speed better with crashes. A simple crash with a blue bumper has ruined countless Grand Prixes for me.

I'm sorry, but what in the hell are you talking about at 1:31 for data mining? If you can extract the raw data straight from the game's code, it is the most accurate data you can possibly have about a game, and using such data doesn't invalidate practical testing, it enhances it. I dunno where you pulled "intended values" or that the game will "inactivate" such values from, but that is entirely hogwash. You sound like you're pulling words out of your ass that sound like they mean something, but actually don't in an attempt to justify not using the real game data. If you don't want to use the real values the game uses, just say so and own it. Don't give us this wishy-washy BS. If you actually DO have the game data, I would appreciate if you could post it in the video description so myself and others can look up the game data ourselves if we so choose. You removed the previous version of this video, so that pinned comment with all the F-Zero data on it is now lost.

As I described, the patch notes don't match the results. I'm not a programmer, so I don't know exactly how all of the damage values get translated to the actual results during gameplay.... but the results of my testing show that not everything plays out exactly as the mined data says it will. I'm not sure what it is you have against measurable objective evidence, but it is what it is. I feel I was quite clear with my reasoning, and not wishy-washy at all. If you didn't understand my reasoning there, I'm sorry I didn't explain it well enough for you. Your point about the pinned comment makes no sense - those values were applicable for the pre-update version of the game and I'm not going to knowingly present inaccurate data in my videos. I appreciate your feedback! Let me know if you manage to get any meaningful data not presented in this video and I can update the description; or if you're just interested in commenting about data but not providing any, that's cool too. 👍
