Blood Hawk and Night Thunder are Top Tier. Big Fang is Low Tier. Great Star is Bottom Tier. Otherwise, I mostly agree with your list.

 

[AKC12]

Blood Hawk and Night Thunder are just crap: below average boost, bad cornering, low top speeds, need I say more?

Big Fang has a great non boost top speed, slooow deceleration, and very good cornering. Great Star has good boost, and is excellent with MTS (the slide and go fast trick).

 

[Aurablade262]

Fat Shark is god tier? That machine has the worst grip out of all the machines!

 

[AKC12]

Learn the quick turn tech. Just do a quick search on Youtube and you'll see why.

 

[Wrath`]

Magic Seagull, low tier? ok..........

 

[Amide]

This is a good list. I don't like the Great Star that much though.

 

[Bullet Bill]

Fat Shark is god tier? That machine has the worst grip out of all the machines!

no it doesn't

Great star is NOT top tier

 

[EPsilon933]

Deep Claw is only 6/10? I thought it'd be a little higher.

 

[Jihnsius]

I used to be hardcore into the GCN version of GX and I never got a chance to player the arcade, so I've always wondered; is it possible to snake in arcade?

 

[stabbedbyanipple]

Wild Goose is really bottom tier? D=

 

[AKC12]

Magic Seagull, low tier? ok..........

Yeah, unfortunately. Below average speed and average boost speed, and the wide exterior. Handles well but that's it. Doesn't use advanced techs well.

no it doesn't

Great star is NOT top tier

Any machine that could beat the Twist Road staff ghost deserves a spot at high tier. Great Star is one of those machines, displaying great use of advanced techs.

Deep Claw is only 6/10? I thought it'd be a little higher.

It's a tad better than Blue Falcon, but yeah on a whole it's an average machine.

I used to be hardcore into the GCN version of GX and I never got a chance to player the arcade, so I've always wondered; is it possible to snake in arcade?

I think so, but there's a superior technique which I believe it was called T-boosting? Not sure, but at its best you can reach speeds of 4000 kmh.

Wild Goose is really bottom tier? D=

Well... his speed is decent I guess, but I just can't him competing with most of the machines above him in boost laps.

.

Wide exterior leads to better kills, So what if it can't snake well, I don't snake anyway. But I perfor well if I can get 100% completion

 

[AKC12]

There are max speed techniques as well.

Snaking in this game is the only way to beat it easy.
Unless you're a glutton for punishment.

 

[thegreatkazoo]

I would put the Fart Shark 2nd to the Dark Schneider--you can snake pretty hard (and more easily IMO) with it.

 

[AKC12]

Fat Shark is the best snaker too. But this is a 100% setting tier list.

 

[Ice!]

Poor Pico I will never be able to handle Wild Goose, it's impossible.

 

[Amide]

I would put the Fart Shark 2nd to the Dark Schneider--you can snake pretty hard (and more easily IMO) with it.

No. Fat Shark is the best at pretty much everything, including snaking.

snaking is only necessary in the story mode, in master diff, no matter what track, all you need is a godd custom machine

I didn't snake in the story mode ethier. Still was able to beat it on very hard (tho chapter 5 was hell)

 

[MR.3]

^ I thought it was impossible to beat chapter 4 on very hard without snaking.

 

[WouW]

Chapter 4 on very hard is doable without snaking, it's just harder.

 

[Wrath`]

Chapter 4 on very hard is doable without snaking, it's just harder.

The one were you destroy the Bloddy Chain gang? I thought that was easy, in fact it was the first one I beat on very hard.

 

[MR.3]

meh I always had trouble on that one if I diddn't snake cuz by the time I caught up micheal chain I would be at the end already so I had no time to attack him.

Also does anyone have any tips for the last chapter on very hard?

 

[WouW]

The one were you destroy the Bloddy Chain gang? I thought that was easy, in fact it was the first one I beat on very hard.

Same here, actually.

Also does anyone have any tips for the last chapter on very hard?

Snake everywhere except at the dangerous part(s) and you won't have many problems.

 

[AKC12]

Or for the non snake strategy in chapter 9. Boost 3 times in the beginning of the lap, save the rest before the huge downhill. You should land after the first mini ramp, or just before it. Same thing final lap.

 

[MR.3]

finally beat chapter 9! Through a combination of snaking and boosting, only reason I won was cuz the staff ghost slows down alot at the end of the last lap. Bad part is the groovy taxi dosen't really feel worth it.

 

[Mew2King]

I like your list AKC12, and I only skimmed the top part

dude do you remember me from gamefaqs? lol. fun times in the early days

http://m2k.galaxy64.com/fzero.html

also akc12 are you considering dark schneider at the 85% mark, and space angler at the 97% mark

 

[AKC12]

of course i remember ya in the gfaqs days. so much easier back then to break records...

I haven't but I didn't forget about those exceptions. Their positions probably stay the same. Depending on Dark Schneiders top speed he might be bumped to top tier.
