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.
@@jotun1022 Unfortunately, yeah :( I do have seen gameplay of It, and from It I thougth the soundtrack was pretty cool for being on the N64. Then I listened to the soundtrack of the game, and man, *wild* Is how I would describe It. It' Is so expressive, I would hardly believe something like that was on the N64. (and then there Is the album)
Really great video, I was really surprised with how hard this game was. These tips are going to help! Also, you speak fine, video was clear and well edited.
I would have to agreen. Deep Claw is a really good beginner vehicle. The only thing it lacks are some of the advanced tech like MTS, but when starting out, MTS is the last thing you should be worrying about
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.
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).
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.
holy cow.. ive been playing this since it was released.. and never knew about the camera angle. GAME changer. Also I never used the fast turns and that shit is 100% needed if u want to beat deathborne on the hardest difficulty. I didnt think I could beat it before, but definitely think I can now..
@@baseballfan4877 ill get there one day I hope, rly tryna get the characters and also. Nintendo has GOT to make another or at least remaster, like its been 20 years. think of how well a game this hard would fit into the modern day competitive gaming scene
@@ottomatic6976 For the longest time, I just used the spin attack to get through those hairpins lol. I just now figured out how to quick turn from experimenting with chapter 8 on very hard. Game makes so much more sense now
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.
Someone please help, how does quick turning actually work? Do I have to tap the opposite shoulder button of the direction I want to go, and then hold the shoulder button in the direction I want to go, or do I have do slightly hold it?
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
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.
Not making the quick turn natural to figure out like in all other arcade racing games was the dumbest idea ever, it killed F-Zero GX's chances of being enjoyable to the general public, even though it looked very exciting to play. This game would have been a worldwide Smash hit like Mario Kart if Nintendo had done the control scheme properly. What a disaster!.
All in all very good tips, but unfortunately you don't speak that clearly and swollow a lot of words. Especially for me as a non native speaker. You forgot to mention the cheating AI blood falcon when you talked about chapter 7. But still, cools vid. Thanks.
The speed and the physic of the game, you need great reflexes and game knowledge to be good at it. The game is hard to master but not unfair unlike the game story mode which actually use unfair bots which can boost like there no tomorrow without any drawback or their machines go way too fast that is evenly possible...
@@Patchuiko the speed is quite average, the tracks are extremely easy, the handling is good and simple. Yes, bors are unfair in story mode, which doesn’t make a game looks better. There are many harder, faster and better racing sci-fi races.

Just did this and it makes the ride way more enjoyable.

Very Important to say:
*A M A Z I N G S O U N D T R A C K*
F-Zero GX Soundtrack Is God-Tier.
mediocre
It's amazing. Every track was a banger.
It's really good, but I think F-Zero X's soundtrack is better.
something tells me you never played F-Zero X...
@@jotun1022 Unfortunately, yeah :(

"You will literally never brake in an F-Zero game." Braking saved my bacon in Serial Gaps.
Really great video, I was really surprised with how hard this game was. These tips are going to help! Also, you speak fine, video was clear and well edited.
The quickturn is essential for beating the game, especially with a custom build focusing on top speed.
Don't sleep on Deep Claw, it's a very good machine for newcomers as well.
I would have to agreen. Deep Claw is a really good beginner vehicle. The only thing it lacks are some of the advanced tech like MTS, but when starting out, MTS is the last thing you should be worrying about
Astro Robin and Deep Claw are a incredible machine for newcomers
This video was great, I started playing F-Zero GX just this year.
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.
And cooler
It’s a different game lol. If you want to get better at GX, you should play GX.

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.
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.
holy cow.. ive been playing this since it was released.. and never knew about the camera angle. GAME changer. Also I never used the fast turns and that shit is 100% needed if u want to beat deathborne on the hardest difficulty. I didnt think I could beat it before, but definitely think I can now..
bro I know exactly what your talking about that one hairpin turn
@@ottomatic6976 yep. i finally beat it also. actually real fun once you can control yourself.

I clicked on this video expecting this to be a mod development video on decreasing the difficulty for F Zero.
I thought it was either that or a funny shitpost
Thank you for the quick turn tip!
Tank you so much I really needed this
*clips of Little Wyvern*
I thought we were going to make the game easier, not harder. Wyvern sucks. lol
I'm just nitpicking, lol. Nice tips!
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.

Thanks so much I feel dumb af for not knowing how to quick turn I just beat every cup on master without even knowing rip
I just use a custom machine with DBB, good speed and cornering, body rarely breaks, and no real downsides
We talking bout practice ?
Someone please help, how does quick turning actually work? Do I have to tap the opposite shoulder button of the direction I want to go, and then hold the shoulder button in the direction I want to go, or do I have do slightly hold it?
I beat chapter 2 of the story mode after only doing the first grand prix on easy
This game is hard as balls

sucks there's no indie successor to f-zero
Check out Redout and Redout 2, quite challenging, rubbish music though.

Story mode isn’t that difficult. As long as you learn to stay on track and save your boost for optimal times, you’ll be fine.
All in all very good tips, but unfortunately you don't speak that clearly and swollow a lot of words. Especially for me as a non native speaker.
You forgot to mention the cheating AI blood falcon when you talked about chapter 7.
But still, cools vid. Thanks.
If playing through dolphin, someone made a mod to replace the music, with the much much better music from F-Zero X (N64)
what so hard about it?
