The non-Golden Fox cars really need some buffs. It's been almost consistently Golden Foxes in the top 10 for me every time I play and every time I pick it, I do much better than when I play other cars. I don't think it should be nerfed but the other cars need their recovery upped even just a little.

The trade off is that the Golden Fox is piloted by Dr. Stewart, who is not Captain Falcon, Samurai Goroh, or Pico.

I really wish the music changed for the final lap. I have been surprised by the fourth lap many times. I just “finished” in 12th and put my controller down, but it was the third lap.

SettingSun posted:This game needs a 20 lap endurance mode, with the bottom 5 dropping off every lap. It also needs a death race mode, where you race until there's only one left standing, disqualified only by crashouts (with some mechanism that slowly drains your power or similar so you can't go infinite). Apparently there were some datamined leaks that included two new modes - Arcade and 'Survival'. I'm betting survival is exactly what you're describing here.

I am hoping this has legs. Also, I heard that up until now with F-Zero 99 and the upcoming Donkey Kong vs Mario remake, the developers of this, Nintendo Software Technology, was basically in developer purgatory because they hosed up Project HAMMER extremely hard.

KrunkMcGrunk posted:i play Wild Goose, and often hit the proper track in the 50s or so, and usually finish in the teens or better. The way the super boost works in this game, you are definitely able to finish in the top 10, even with a mediocre start. wild goose is a lot better at pushing its way through the pack the other cars get knocked around too much from impacts, so unless they super boost, it's hard to push past where most of the rest of the racers are concentrated. the goose can just muscle through like they're not even there it's an absolute tank. i got used to it first and now i can't bear to drive anything else

I don't think it should be nerfed but the other cars need their recovery upped even just a little. Gonna assume FZero 99 is using the same car stats from the SNES original. If that's the case the Golden Fox has the best acceleration but the lowest top speed (Fire Stingray being the opposite), so it's more forgiving about recovering from a goof.

The energy recovery Golden Fox gets absolutely needs a tiny nerf, you get 3/4 of the bar even on the tiny strip on Death Wind. That said, speculation is that once Queen and King hit it won't be quite as dominant in the meta.

So I don't know if a switch has been flipped or what is going on, but it seems like for the last two days my F-Zero 99 races track options are only between Death Wind and Sand Ocean...and Death Wind never wins I've done Sand Ocean 5 times in a row and I'm mighty sick of it at this point. Is anyone else seeing this too or just 'bad luck' on my point.

I've seen the vote go all sorts of ways so I haven't seen a pattern. I think if you don't choose it defaults your vote to the left choice so that may skew votes that way.

This game while not perfect has been a ton of fun and I hope it doesn't get the SMB35 treatment. I've probably put in about 20 hours or so far since release. So far I have a Knight Class GP overall win and 5 race wins total, although those wins came earlier on and it seems competition is getting better by the day., which is to be expected. All the wins were using Wild Goose and that's been my main so far. Since it's so sturdy, I like that I can focus on the racing lines more. I've used Fire Stingray the 2nd most, and while that was my main for the SNES game, I find the slow acceleration too limiting when dealing with these dense packs. I started using Blue Falcon in the past few days, and seems like I can consistently finish 10-25th in it but no higher. But I like it Golden Fox I've used... twice? Twice. So that's my story so far, also if I never drove Mute City 1 again in my lifetime I'd be okay with it shyduck fucked around with this message at 19:49 on Sep 20, 2023 |

I have been seeing a slight uptick in SO beating DW, but if either of the two identity maps come up it's a lock for them.

Oh and Port Town almost always beats White Land in the pro tracks circuit, which is hard because I'm pretty sure those are the only two tracks you can choose in it? Maybe I'm unlucky, I still haven't gotten to Silence

Maybe I'm unlucky, I still haven't gotten to Silence For me, White Land usually beats out Port Town, to my dismay. Silence isn't in Pro Tracks, it only appears as the final track of a Grand Prix.

I would like it if the tracks weren't always voted on; like every other race it would just be random or whatever. With voting it's been Mute City forever.

I've watched videos of people absolutely dominating with the Blue Falcon but I'm just not at that level. Especially on Big Blue where I struggle to hit the top 10. 4 games with the Golden Fox... https://twitter.com/mongo_ebooks/status/1705424422713123030 The Blue Falcon would probably need just the tiniest buff to its recovery to be really competitive because it is a much, much better handling machine and I can see why people can dominate with it. Of course the properties of the Golden Fox mean I haven't finished a GP with it because I do tend to crash out more being reckless.

blue falcon struggles a lot when the average skill level of a game goes up. i think it needs something of a unique buff to let it have its own identity, like longer lasting boosts or something. currently i think wild goose and golden fox are tied for best car, with fire stingray in 2nd and blue falcon last. wild goose is very consistent and golden fox is high risk high reward. fire stingray tends to get bullied too much to really take advantage of its higher top end speed and better turning.

I've swapped from Wild Goose to Blue Falcon to see if the greater maneuverability is more useful now that I've regained some sense of how SNES F-Zero works. Good times! I ranked out of a Grand Prix last night and decided to watch the leader in the next race, especially since they made driving Blue Falcon look like effortlessly sliding a puck around. Port Town II, no less! Then in the final lap, they hit the Z-turn wrong, ping-ponged between two walls, and died near-instantly from full shield.

I've had a couple races now where I was in 1st place from 2nd to the 4th lap, then it becomes a gridlock of red bumpers and I choke. I like that there are obstacles for the top position racers, but drat if it isn't demoralizing when I just want 1st. My only first place was in Team Battle and I didn't get the paint job.
