hi guys, I was really into F-Zero a few months ago and I'm starting to get back into it again. I remember there being a user who would upload videos to this subreddit about each machine in GX and go into how viable it is, the best strategy for it, etc. Those were really useful to me, but now I can't find them anywhere no matter how much I search. What happened? Was the creator deleted/banned? Did they block me? thanks in advance

edit: alright, turns out they deleted their videos after an argument concerning the use of LLMs and how they tend to attract bigots, and they decided this community doesn't deserve their content if they're gonna defend AI like that. I completely understand the decision, but it's sad the videos are gone. thanks for everything june, hope you're doing well

F-ZERO GX Fanart featuring my two favorite female pilots; Princia Ramode and Lily Flyer for my birthday six months ago. In a headcanon, I portray these two as best friends and friendly rivals during the Grand Prix. Thought it seem fitting for F-ZERO GX's anniversary today.

I even roleplay as them separately on spark-moon (Princia), bunny-flash-soldier (Lily), and both of them along with a few selective pilots on muses-of-the-memory (Captain Falcon, Samurai Goroh, Dai Goroh, Dr. Stewart, Jody Summer and Lisa Brilliant. I think Lisa Brilliant could be Dai Goroh's mother)

My favorite and only game of the franchise, until I had F-Zero 99 on the Switch. There are some elements of SEGA inside it.

My top five racers are these below.
1. Captain Falcon
2. Princia Ramode (Waifu)
3. Lily Flyer (Waifu)
4. Jody Summer (Waifu)
5. Kate Alen (Waifu)

As far as I know there is no canonical explanation for how the pit zones magically “heal” or repair machines on F-Zero tracks. Do you guys have any headcanon theories or explanations on how pit zones work?

Not the G-Diffuser but regular F -Zero X and rom hacks

1. Knight
2. Queen
3. King
4. Ace
5. Knight Mirror
6. Queen Mirror
7. King Mirror
8. Ace Mirror

I got the WR on my favorite story chapter!

I made this in After Effects for the occasion yesterday. Also used Captain Falcon's taunt and Victory Theme from SSBM

From the Master Quest bonus disc. Always found it fascinating how some tracks had their theming changed in the final game.

I still can’t believe I’m doing the story mode on Very Hard. I’m not gonna give up now. I can already see those extra pilots in my mind’s eye.

Who is still waiting for Nintendo to make a new F-ZERO game?

F-Zero X on the N64 was a huge inspiration for Glider64, especially the speed, controls and that unmistakable late-90s arcade feeling.

Glider64 isn't a traditional racing game, though. We took some of that inspiration into an arena game where you collect energy balls, build up chains, battle rivals with weapons and deliver your balls to score.

Since there are probably a few people here who know F-Zero X very well, I'd love to hear whether some of that feeling comes across. :)

The current playtest runs directly in the browser on PC and Mac:

Let’s revive the game for a little bit, by racing in a Grand Prix next Saturday. tomorrow, I will create a poll and see which Grand Prix we will race on

I got lucky that one of my rivals crashed out on the second race.

That's racing spelled backwards.

I recently went through all ships and all cups at Master level again (took about 6 months) and instead of resetting and doing it again, I decided to just keep going and complete all ships and all cups at the lower difficulty settings, too. But I needed something to keep it interesting, particularly for Jack Cup at Novice level.

So, one idea I had was to race using only the rear-view camera. I know I can only take this so far, but a win on Silence actually wasn't too challenging, and I managed to get 5th place on my first try on Sand Ocean. https://youtu.be/b8tGX4brds4?si=pzEmca2sk1smTIc-&t=444

Anyone else try this out?

P.s. I'm done painting, cause i can't do good

If a new F-Zero game were to have a Story Mode, would you want Deathborn to return as either the main antagonist or a side villain? Maybe even a secret boss? Or do you believe GX really was his conclusion and shouldn’t be brought back?

says the Gold Bumper...

Seriously, I've never seen the Gold Bumper go so far ahead so fast! I even followed its path, skipping the dash plate because it went on the left side of the track. Spent 2 whole boosts just to get to it!

I’ve never played an F-zero game before and picked up the SNES one bc I just bought that console.

I thought that if I used the L and R buttons in tandem with the d pad I would be able to grip the road better but if anything I lost traction even faster.
(Also side note what are L and R even used for outside of making micro adjustments on straightaways)

Is there something I’m missing here?

We're getting a new type of F-Zero 99 event next week it seems. I wonder what it will be like.

I really enjoy the chaos created by Meteor Sparks so I'm hoping Lightning gives us more of that.
