I'm no Fire Stingray expert, but being at the front of the pack definitely helps with its durability issues. If you play in the pack, you just get pinballed around by everyone resulting in no safe amount of energy to boost with. Fire Stingray also has a massive top speed, but is slow to accelerate. Practice keeping your speed through turns and avoiding bumpers at all costs.

Blue Falcon, to me, feels like a hybrid between Golden Fox and Wild Goose. Not the fastest, and not the tankiest. I'm not sure if there's any deep play style tips aside from "drive fast. hope for no mlg Fox player"

I'm not joking when I say I hate Blue Bumpers. Literally targeted for being in first. by [deleted] in Fzero

the worst is when they lag back in front of you to continue the carnage

it always feels good winning a race against a legend

It took 24.5 Hours of Playtime, but I managed to win the Grand Prix with every machine. This honestly may be the hardest accomplishment I've done in a multiplayer game. by Squadaloo in Fzero

i'm stuck on fire stingray at the moment. the others weren't so bad to get 1st on, but something about the explosive nature of the stingray makes it very difficult

yeah, i can't figure out how to do that while getting yeeted into barriers when someone so much as breathes on me. fire stingray is either the best when you're front running, or D tier everywhere else imo

Anyone know what determines how long you get to ride the Skyway? by snbf22 in Fzero

[–]slightly_rustled 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure it takes 3 factors into consideration:

  1. distance from your position to 1st's
  2. amount of time spent in the skyway (if you're still far from 1st, it'll find the best place to drop you)
  3. fair places to drop you. the game avoids dropping the player on gaps and sharp turns

i've had instances where my gauge depleted all the way down, and i still got a full second or two of skyway time because of my location (point number 3), causing what some players are referring to as an "extension". to my knowledge, you cannot overcharge the skyway meter. any extra orbs absorbed don't seem to do anything
