Awesome!

Hmm, I'll start then. Today I got my N64 so I played FZX a bit. I'll beat all the staff ghosts, then I'll go for the fastest times possible!

So here is what I got on MC1: 1'12"248 NTSC (1'26"697 PAL) with blood hawk.

I guess it is not THAT bad for someone who was playing for the first time.

Uh, in your case, video/photo proof requested...

Nobody gets a time THAT high the first time they play!

EDIT: Sorry, iowa. Now I feel stupid. I wasn't thinking - I just saw the 2 Posts under your name and assumed you were some liar or something. I never go to the FZGX boards, so I didn't know you played. Sorry for assuming things.

I learned how to DTD today and I got a time of 1'50"366 on Light City (DXP) with Golden Fox.

lol no problem.

When I say "playing for the first time", it doesn't mean I set this time on first try, it took me something like 1 or 2 hours to do, and I had done some GP before of course.

Oh yeah! I finally beat Joker Cup on Novice today with Red Gazelle.

Is it possible to make a WR with a jumper?

Just beat Jack cup on Expert and Joker cup on Standard with Red Gazelle.

EDIT: Just finished Queen Cup on Expert, too... same ship. I've never piloted a ship that I can be in harmony with as much as I can Red Gazelle... it's incredible.

EDIT AGAIN: Just beat King Cup, Expert with Red Gazelle.

EDIT AGAIN!: Just beat Joker Cup, Expert, Red Gazelle. w00t!

Very Impressed!!

slider or jumper depends on the tracks themselves. there are currently 3 tracks where the WRs are with jumper settings (WL1, SB and SO1)

for all the other tracks, slider is faster because of boostslide, railslide, boostrailslide and normal sliding when taking a corner. DTD is possible on any setting.

Who was that directed at, Hubaloon? I haven't beat any staff ghosts yet, I was talking about the GP!

it wa towards iowa i think

and iowa didn't beat all sGs in one day. he's slow :p

i did a GP mode run of the first cup on Master difficulty. the CPU caused some problems in some tracks.

it was to iowa

lol Piccolo was right there, I only beat 3 staff ghosts on my first day.. But now they are all beaten, and I'm improving my time as much as possible

just a question, why nobody add his times on the old mfo? Waiting this summer to see competitors moving isn't really fun...

btw: Sb 1"23"670 (old time)
         Df3 1"11"3**

Space Plant: 1'54"875 PAL
Hmm my run sucked so much. The only thing I do well on that track is the first dtd on first lap: I land at 2000/2100 km/h pal. On boost laps, I have no idea how to do that dtd, so I just press the stick foreword and land at 1100...

iowa, at the end of your first lap do you do the DTD there too? If so, when you go into the second lap you should still be travelling quickly, so keep boosting and when you lift up at the hill into the air, perform an ACIDTD. When in the air, press up and left, and when pointing down-left press right and do a DTR. This should help you DTD again and get about 2000kmh +. Beware though, sometimes when you ACIDTD you can be low in the air, and you miss the track, or hit the wall. So practice a lot and keep high. Thats all I can say.

Thanks for the tip Ben !  That should help me a lot. ANd yeah, I do that DTD at the end of the track. I land at about 1600 km/h, I don't know if it's good...

watch my vid for an ACIDTD for the DTD before the finish line

Space Plant: 1'46"896
39"217 - 33"775 - 33"904

Ok that wasn't perfect but still much better. Now I do the first DTD on boost laps, land at +2000... howver I skipped the second boostslide on the pipe, I get retired way too often. So I think I lost some time there. Nothing else to say, it can be improved but that will be for another day, i'm tired of that course!
