I always won the four tournaments and reached #1 in the world when I beat the game in previous years, but I didn't get anything from the game for doing so, sadly.

Splain | 2,571 Editorials Team · Posted January 18, 2023 Author Share Posted January 18, 2023 All-Star Tennis 99. When people complain that the N64 hasn't aged well graphically, they're talking about this game right here. I don't remember struggling with this game last year, but this time it felt like the only 2 options when placing a shot were "directly at your opponent" or "half a court-width out of bounds." 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kazaa to you on this one. The couple times I have tried it have resulted in mass frustration... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philosoraptor | 468 Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 F-Zero X is done on both Novice and Standard difficulty with Captain Falcon. This is the first time I've played it, so I ran through the cups on Novice first before taking on Standard. I can see how the higher difficulties could get very, very precise. I assume that and the X cup is where this game gets its reputation from. On Standard it's challenging, but not unreasonable. Also, I love this game. It's probably in my top 10 N64 games now. I'll probably come back to it to see if I can beat some tracks on harder difficulties. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, the X cup is essentially a bonus mode containing entirely randomly generated courses, so every time you play it you get a different set of courses to play. It doesn't give you any trophies for beating it or anything, it's just for fun. The REAL challenge of F-Zero X is the Master difficulty, which you unlock for beating all the regular cups on Expert mode. It is as hard as balls. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3-way and tag team matches were a pain and all I want is a health bar! You bastard! That’s the one game Ive beaten for this challenge every year since it started! /s I’ll lend my experience to this game since it’s probably the only N64 game I can claim to be an expert in. First the stamina bar is a health bar. Second there is a key to multi-man matches. In 3 ways and the Royal Rumble: Run from the other wrestlers. Just stay at the opposite side of the ring and target whoever has higher stamina (Edit: forgot to say use Taunts on the targeted opponent) Switch targets when the first person you target drops low enough. Let the opponents wear each other out while you wait on the sideline and build to your special. Then once you get to your special your opponents should be down in the green or blue on their bar. (3-way) Hit them both with a special if you picked a wrestler with a fast enough special. Pin the first one you hit, after taking down the second. This keeps the second opponent down long enough to not interrupt the pin on the first. (Royal Rumble); Hit anyone and everyone with a special. Then back off to a corner away from everyone and rinse and repeat. Let the opponents do the dirty work of throwing each other out. It is definitely a slog of a match Tag Team Matches: Wear down your opponent like any 1v1 match and do your best to keep the opponent from tagging. It’s not required but it just takes longer if they do. Once your ready to make a pin, lay out your opponent, turn to target their partner, throw a strong punch to knock them off the side of the ring, then go to pin. This will always prevent the the opposing tag partner from interrupting the pin. Alternatively, before you plan on a pin, put a submission on to force both partners to come into the ring. Then hit your finisher on your active opponent and wait a second or to for your partner to tie up the opposing partner then make the pin. To your other comment about getting countered a lot. That means your trying to make strong moves to early. It takes a good 2-3mins of light strikes and grapple moves at the beginning of any match before you start making strong moves. If the opponent is still getting up immediately after being dropped, don’t bother trying a strong move. Sometimes RNG will still screw you but you can also quit the match and retry at any time if it gets ridiculous.
