Making F Zero GX a Little Easier

F-Zero GX is an incredible video game. But it can be pretty intimidating for new players. It took me a bit to get super into it. Hopefully these tips can help people to understand it better because once you do it rules. And trust me the composite vs component comparison at the end is much more noticeable on a TV then it appears in the video.
Most important tip (quickturn) starts at 5:30.
F-Zero is a property of Nintendo

Gotta add a comment on this video: Calibration. That should be one of the first things players do when starting GX. It's in Options and once there, go to recalibrate the Controller. The default calibration for GX is extremely sensitive. Increasing the deadzone makes every vehicle a lot easier to control.

5:23 - "It might feel a little cheap" With how hellish Story Mode is, I don't think there's a single person who had ever felt cheap taking Black Bull out in Chapter 7.

F-zero GX is so great because of how ridiculously hard it is, kinda like how Dark Soul is liked for it difficulty too. There like an weird feelling of joy and accomplishement that these types of game give when you finally master theses game's mechanics.

One last tip that I'd add is, when you're in a long and relatively-straight piece of track where minimal, if any, turning is required to stay on the track without bumping into walls, yet the track is littered with boost pads, bombs, and/or patches of rough ground (such as Casino Palace: Split Oval, or Aeropolis: Multiplex), to get into the habit of using the L and R trigger buttons to slide left and right, which would cause your vehicle to slide left or right without changing the vehicle's orientation in the process, allowing you to better stay aligned parallel with the track as you maneuver the vehicle to avoid those obstacles and hit those boost pads (unlike turning the vehicle, which would add the unnecessary complication of having to re-orient the vehicle to be parallel with the track).

@Aentismik 9 ай бұрын

Depends on the vehicle. Some vehicles lose next to no speed while turning with the stick. But I'm pretty sure most vehicles lost at least a LITTLE speed when using the air brakes as you mentioned.

@philpeer7407 8 ай бұрын

To make the controls even easier, I put "Slide Left Right" on the analog stick as well. Spin Attack is also great for getting around hairpins easier.

it also helps to try playing f zero x. whether with an emulator or without, as long as you use a controller. x is easier than GX as it's a bit slower, but being an n64 game it too can also be unforgiving.

1:01 I think it's better to make B as Boost, Z as Side Attack, Y as Spin Attack and X as Brake. If you're transferring from F-Zero X, these controls are perfect. I just wished Spin Attack was L,L or R,R inputs, and Side Attack was L,R,L or R,L,R inputs. It frees more buttons, right? Maybe map boost to L+R if you're used to the boosting system from Crash Team Racing or Crash Nitro Kart, and keep the optional boost macro if you're used to F-Zero X's boosting system.

I heard you can unlock F Zero AX on by using an action replay. Is that true and does it also work for dolphin? This game is awesome btw. A beautiful game, and this is one of the few really hard games that kick my but that I love and will play again and again

@clutchtitan1402 2 жыл бұрын

Hi, that's actually something i've never been quite able to understand. So first of all, the AX content is all unlockable in GX. The Racers are unlocked by beating Story Mode missions on Very Hard and the courses by winning cups in Master. So if you just want to play the AX content you can without cheats. Now from what I have seen the AX arcade game is accessible through GX through a gameshark or action replay. This let's you boot up the actual AX game through GX. I am someone who has played a lot of gamecube games through nintendont on Wii and has Swiss enabled on my gamecube but never really tried it and honestly dont fully understand. it is probably not that hard but i am dumb. I assume it would work through Dolphin. tcrf.net/F-Zero_GX/AX_Game_Mode The cutting Room floor (great site) adds to the confusion a little by claiming "To be clear, "F-Zero AX" is not "inside F-Zero GX" - they simply share a lot in common. For players seeking the authentic experience, consider looking into the homebrew hypervisor Nintendont and its Triforce capabilities." They also say "The actual game assets are often times identical. Unique elements of each game (such as modes, menus, and some features) could then be enabled for the correct platform. Aside from differences in controller handling, drift inputs, and the speed modulation from boosting off the starting line, the remaining functionality of the arcade game mode is accessible and playable using F-Zero GX's ROM. However, since not all features are available, the AX games modes accessible in GX feel considerably different then the true F-Zero AX arcade experience." So to me (and this is where it gets confusing to say out loud) this seems to imply you can boot a verion of ax within gx that lets you play it like the arcade game (with a timer and the unique courses) however it is not 100% the arcade game. Im not sure if this is just due to difference in controller (arcade steering wheel and pedals vs gamecube controller) or if there is also other differences in the code. So basically yes AX is playable through GX but also it is open to interpretation. For most people however this probably counts as playing AX however if someone was very pedantic they could argue it.
