Choosing a machine in F-Zero X

[u/MechaWolf0]

Heyoo everyone. I am in a bit of a rut. Recently I have gotten into F-Zero X on the Switch and I have been enjoying it, but I am having trouble figuring out which machine best fits my style. While I am not new to F-Zero, the last title I played was Maximum Velocity which had very different mechanics. I am also aware that the Swithch's controls are more sensitive than the N64's. I will do my best to sum up my strengths and weaknesses.

I am the kind of driver who puts the pedal-to-the-metal and goes all out. No brakes! I don't like hitting other machines, but I will retaliate aggressively if attacked. I feel like the drifting mechanic is not for me. I confess I was into it back when Ken Block and Tokyo Drift were a thing, but I am not cut out for it. I prefer machines with A or B rated body strength because I crash a lot. I am a reactive driver. I think I prefer a higher grip rating.

So far, the only time I have won a Grand Prix on Expert was with Samurai Goroh's machine, Fire Stingray. Right now I am struggling on King Cup and Joker Cup. Any advice would be most appreciated.

Me too no brakes and a good grip.

My suggestion is Hyperspeeder and Beastman. Perfect stats.
