If you want to learn the cool techniques I recommend practicing drifting first. It's the easiest one of the advanced tech and it's so versatile.

Coming to this video to finally beat the Master and Expert cups, and to say PLEASE GOD PLEASE let F Zero 99 succeed so we can get a new game PLEASE

Much needed video. Great that someone dedicated to the game finally made it happen.

Thanks man. It was both a lot of fun and a lot of work to make. Eventually I'll finish all individual track tutorials as well in the coming months. How are you these days?

I'm a little late to the party here, but I wanted to say thank you for making this guide. It's incredibly useful with how scarce information regarding this game can be sometimes.

Under rated game. Sometimes I think games don’t really need to be totally reignited by reinvention but by simple additions. An online play that allows the community that still exists for this game to connect with new tracks and an increased difficulty setting to challenge drivers to increase their abilities would be perfect for this game. I think sometimes game creators focus too much on an absolute over haul or desperately hold onto the hope that graphics alone will create a great game. Nice video!

Dude I've got to say, you've helped rekindle my interest in F Zero. It's been years since I played X, and I'm fully back into it again. Thanks for making these videos!

I'm currently "getting into" the game. I used to play it a lot on the N64 back then but never knew how "deep" the gameplay actually is. For me it was a great achievement beating the Master Cups.. but now i'm hunting the Staff Ghosts and it is so much fun to beat a time after hours of practice and finally getting some drifts right and beating a staff ghost. This gameplay aged really well.

Haha I like that you included the multiplayer clip from NLG 2012. Such a legendary moment. Thank you for making these tutorials! I learned a lot watching this. It was even too much information to remember all at once so I'm sure I'll be back here at a later date

Well, I think I just levelled up. My brain was clearly only ready for about a third of this, so I'll have to come back for more once I pick up some more wins.

I lvoed this game as a kid! too bad my copy is doing something odd now i need to reget it on virtual console you did a very in depth look! i love this! good job!

I must have watched this tutorial at least 10 times in the last 2 months lol

For a long time I wanted to know how to spin attack now and now I just learned how to do drifting and double without even knowing I was doing it. Also I was never knew nothing about the drift and grip settings so thanks for that too

Thank you so much for this video. I'm certain that the F-Zero X ladder will see more activity, especially from myself. ~IAmTheEg7, FZC Edit: I'm well into the top 100, this video helped so much. One of my favorite games on the N64 for sure!

Just started playing this. Completed Expert with not too much trouble but Master is just insane.

Thank you.

Ah miss F-zero series so my childhood legends N64 NOSTALGIA 10/10!

Great! Thanks!

Wow, this game must still be really competitive, as i remember being ranked around 19th in the overall rankings when I quit around 2003. I am now 101st, lol. Good to see Jimmy "JKT" Thai hanging in there at 13th despite no updates since 2007. His execution of the old strats must have been almost perfect to still be that high 11 years later.

Since i only have the wii u version of the game its gonna be dificult to master everything. Good video! P.S: Drifting is really fun to do

DT is a technic requiered to finnish Maximum Velocity.

I wish these tutorials were around 13 years ago when I was obsessed with F-Zero X 🥲

Thanks, i'm sure you heard F-Zero x was just added to the switch and this guide came quite handy. Also it's interesting that a lot of these mechanics don't go into Super Mario 64 levels of BS with the BLJ and all, it's cool that you're able to reach high speeds without breaking the game although that section where you have to jump past half the course raises a few red flags, i'm down to learn these mechanics very cool.

I really appreciate you making this video, as I've wanted a guide to the movement in F-Zero X for a long time, but couldn't find one until I found yours on a whim. However, I have a disability that impacts my ability to process sounds and speech, and so it's very difficult for me to understand what you're saying, due to my unfamiliarity with your accent as well as the volume of the music being very close to the volume of your speaking. Would you be willing to add subtitles? I'm sure it would help others, as well. Again, thanks for making this video!

Great video! What do you think about playing F-Zero X with a racing wheel or with the Ultra Racer 64?

When one of the best speedrunenr of the game tecah the new generation.

Damn. As a completionist, I'm usually very persistent with at least finishing the "campaign" at the highest difficulty. But this game is giving me second thoughts... Especially after destroying novice and standard, and then not being able to beat the Jack cup in expert after many attempts. Imagine another racing game, say any Need for Speed, where your car starts to slide if you turn the wheel more than an infinitesimal amount, and where you have to do some kind of double tap jump to take a sharp corner otherwise you see 15 cars fly past you after you exit. Just frustrating... Thank for the info though, maybe I'll work out the patience to practice all this...

If I would want to play and optimize the DD courses, would it control the same if I were to play it on an Everdrive 64? I'm aware playing it on something like project64 is a handicap, so would it be the same on an everdrive? Sorry if it didn't make sense. Absolutely great video!

When do you accelerate at the beginning of the race to get a boost start?

48:35 that's the first time I've ever seen an F Zero car actually do a flip! How hard did he hit that rail!? Lol

34:32 I'm stuck not being able to do the halfpipe trick. Do you really right side attack while on the right side of the track or was that misspoken? When I right side attack to the right of the track I just fly off. Also in the sample video, the ship doesn't flash red like it's doing a side attack at all, so what am I not getting?

Yes there is there is a tool you can use to make your own custom tracks on pc and patch to the rom including just the stock DD tracks. Search for F-Zero Execution project on romhacking.net. On top of that there exists a combo rom of the normal game and 64DD add-on that works on Everdrive.

Max speed you can reach in the game is 3000 km/h. Every ship can reach this with some diving tricks.

In F-zero X how do I unlock the machines?

Can you only do this on the N64 I'm scruggleing on the switch

How do you get a boost at the start of the race? When the race starts the other cars begin moving fast, but I have to pick up speed slowly and end up struggling to get to the front. The timing to press A seems really inconsistent.

I just have one other question, you know how to get to the jack? The one you can unlock , the one after the King . As far as I know you have to beat all the first 3 in standard difficulty. However do you happen to know, if you can access it also, by only beating the beginning and queen ones in all 3 difficulty settings: easy, standard, and hard difficulty? And i'm not even concerned with the X one, i'll never be able to beat any race in this game on the hardest difficulty.

Not sure if you need to beat it on standard or expert to be honest to unlock Joker Cup. I can't even remember the last time I played GP on anything else than Master. You don't need to because there is a code to unlock everything: At the title screen, press start to get the mode select, and enter: L-Shoulder, Z, R Shoulder, Up-C, Down-C, Left-C, Right-C, Start.

It's not a simple answer. I use an Adaptoid USB to N64 adapter. That one is very good. Good settings are 0% deadzone and 66% sensitivity in the Nrage plugin. Different controllers and adapters would need different settings. In general don't use any deadzone and tweak the sensitivity to where you don't lose grip too quickly when turning.

Man this tutorial seemed reasonable until about 5:30 in when you start flying🤯

I beat the game with side attack cornering only. I never really learned how to use drift mechanic, and actively avoided it because I couldn't control it. This play style made the game stupidly difficult I think.

Playing on the switch is so incredibly fresturating. Even in Mario the overly sensitive and small control stick makes accurate movements so difficult

Also I wish I could subtitle this video.

"The game was optimized for the N64 controller... Using any other controller would be seriously handicapping yourself." Well, that might explain why I can't even nudge in the direction of a turn on the Switch version without my machine fishtailing at a hard angle. Is this pursuit hopeless, or do I just need to keep practicing? Would using the wireless N64 controller for Switch be closer to the original hardware?

ah the music is way to loud at some parts.

F-Zero instruction manual says lighter ships have better grip than heavy ships. Is this a mistake?

My favorite ship Fire Stingray is pretty bad in this game because it can't DTD and has a poor boost rating, right?

Please, can you put subtitles in your video? I cannot understand you very well.

My autistic brain couldn’t handle certain parts of the information provided with certain sections, I didn’t think simply explaining settings and grip would have me more lost than before. Regardless. Still helpful in certain spots for me.

35:08 lol is somebody wrenching up their lunch in the background?

On the side attack section, why did you mention that it only works up to 30 presses per second? Because it's impossible to even do that. I'm just curious why you mention it.

@WMJSpeedruns

6 жыл бұрын

In practice it means that the faster you mash the buttons the sharper you can take the corners. There's many instances where this can come in handy. There's no risk in mashing too fast as indeed nobody can exceed the 30 presses per second that would make it slower.

@jimreid5

Ok.

Why is it when You demonstrate the side attack cornering, your ship seems to turn very smooth. However when I do it, my ship kind of jumps from side to side, from the outside of the corner, to the inside(when I take a right corner I double tap R as soon as I start turning the control stick, assuming that that's the proper way to do it in most cases). How do you make it so smooth? I've only tried it on the first two rows of ships, I don't know if that makes a difference. I don't understand how you do that. ( And I frequently corner at lower speeds than you , because i'm not very good at this game, don't know if that makes a difference either. (

@WMJSpeedruns

6 жыл бұрын

Side attack before you steer into the corner and then keep mashing the side attack button as quickly as possible is the fastest way to take corners. If you steer a little before the side attack the ship will jump from side to side much quicker. Sometimes you need this for super sharp corners.
