NTSC F-Zero GX Time Attack Leaderboard

[Mayhem]

Have you seen the video mate? There's some glitch in the driving of the Black Bull (via airbrakes or something) allowing for supersonic speeds to be achieved. If you watch the video, you'll understand. The guy does the first Mute City track in about 49 seconds... and I've heard someone's got up to 4000kph on that track...

Right, I'm off to get another memcard 59 for ghost data to send to you guys.

Jesus christ! How far are you off of beating the staff ghost mate?

Still a fair bit away. The Staff Ghost goes round in 2'15"297.

I can actually "beat" the ghost upto the last corner of Lap 1. I can see where i can improve though. I'm losing time on the drop-off and also on the last bend.

Are you using the bombs as corner-boosts?

I'm trying to think of the courses I've maxed out as much as I can humanly acheive - probably Sand Ocean 2 and Cosmo Terminal. I'll give Mute City 3 a good bashing when I unlock it tonight too.

[Ginza]

My best so far is 1min 15secs using only the Blue Falcon.

Indeed.

At the moment, I'm rinsing Mute City (Serial Gap) and my time is improving daily. I've managed to go from a time of 1'46"910 to 1'37"326.

It's one of those games that you discover something on the course that will shave seconds off your time - that and using your boost wisely IMO.

You can always count on yer Uncle Dave.

[a_c_saunders]

I always find that when I see my ghost overtake me I have to boost, even if I know it wont benefit me. Same happens in GP if I'm first and then someone overtakes me. I'll just have to restrain myself from now on and use em wisely i guess.
Also, how are people getting all these mad times with sonic phantom? I find him really hard to control let alone get decent times. Being new to F-zero (first in series ive played) I'm just starting to learn all the little tricks.

[Ginza]

David you should write a book on how to get the most out of F - Zero GX. Or even better put up an article on NTSC-UK with all tips and tricks because lets face it im crap at it and need some expert guidance.
